has anyone felt the following?

that PC is sort of like a comfort zone - rant and rave about anything and everything. It's so hard to actually say everything in reality, but to type it is strangely easy and relieving.

it sounds childish and seems a pretty obvious thing to say - just felt like saying it. Lol

tc, Kelly.

I'm so glad you are feeling better when you can get things off your chest so to speak. That's what it's all about eh?

Kelly, it is comfortable and a relief! I am very grateful to The Doc and all the members of PC for being here!

Hmm... I think the idea of telling your problems to complete strangers helps. I have no idea why, but it's easier to tell them than my friends in real life.

Well I feel very comfortable typing or writing down my thoughts. As either advice or inspiration.
In real life, I do exactly the same, no sugar coating, no beating around the bushes if I have something to say then I'll say it.
If someone has a problem w/ it, too bad! That's life and they had it coming.

Much more of how and who i am both good and bad gets revealed online as opposed to off.
Off line social anxiety and social interaction difficulties are a greater issue(though the latter can still cause problems) and i can talk about things online to fellow mental health sufferers than i can to mental health professionals(due to past negative experiences with them that make it very hard to trust and the tendency they have to extrapolate wrongly on a surfeit of information due to limited interaction and often not really listening)

Umm... it's a good thing to think about how to say things so that you don't take the "comfort" out of it. No sense in hurting people if you don't have to, don't you think? Wouldn't you want others to have the same consideration for you?

No one "deserves" to be treated badly, and that includes the way they are spoken to.

I am struggling (and making great progress) with not yelling at my dog; it is bad training and does no good. How much moreso for a human? Making fun of others, making off color remarks, directly insulting, or even implying negativity has no place here at PC, imo, certainly not in a chat room. I know many comments that are made are done "jk" and after the sting, they do put that up: "jk" well? It's too late. There's nothing supportive about any of that. And who's to say someone "deserves" anything negative? Most of the members here at PC are suffering already, some with mental unwellness and others with both that and physical illness.

With that said, even when someone does say something negative, they still don't deserve a put down. Supportive comments of encouragement works best, though sometimes they don't work at all. Each member here is on their own path to healing. For some, that includes learning how to be nice to others.

Hi Kelly, I know I am a little late in replying to this post, but I want to whole heartedly agree with you! I find PC to be a wonderful place to find comfort--I have always felt safe here to express my thoughts. I often discuss things here before trying them out in the real world...I get great feedback about issues. It is great to know there is always somebody here to listen.

PC rocks!
