You're from Massachusetts right? It's not out of the realm of possibility that youd run into me at some point since I'm down there alot.
Just wanted to say @JulieLynn I absolutely agree with you. I very nearly left the site for good a few weeks back, took about a week off to see if I would miss it. Turns out I missed it enough to still give it another shot, but my god does this place trigger my anxiety sometimes. And I feel like that shouldn’t have to be a problem on a website that should be a fun community dedicated to music.
As someone who has mental health issues, this place can be really bad and a big trigger and no one seems to get that. Like we aren’t all built to take shit from strangers. Also, I’m 35. Yes I talk about my age too much but we are adults. Right? This placed has made me cry, laugh, want to punch throats, wonder how some people are able to tie their shoes, how some people haven’t had the shit dumbest out of them yet, make super great friendships, and face palm....a lot. Someone told me I’m not the problem, other people’s behavior is. I’ve never been mean or nasty to anyone ever here or AP. I’ve been honest, sarcastic and a bitch. That’s who I am. My family loves me, my fiancé loves me....the group of friends in real life love me....for exactly who I am. So I have to tel myself that when some turd wants to shit on me about whatever it is I brought up because they think it will break me. Nope. Not anymore. Don’t ruin my high bitches lol. Simply said, I’m going to be me and be kind to those who are kind to me.
I think it’s totally warranted... just speaking for myself I’ve frequently felt the same way on here recently. I think you expressed what a lot of us have been feeling but didn’t want to bring up for fear of causing more “drama”.
