Kindness. Gentleness. Goes a long way. People do kill themselves because of cruelty and alienation.
Despite all this, some people have been really kind here and elsewhere.
There's nothing wrong with pointing out cruelty though. I'm not the only lonely person here, and you don't need to protect me.
I do feel like the forums would be a happier place without people bullying.
I used to come here to fight. It used to reaffirm my hatred. I don't know what changed, but even Kaveh calling me crazy and off my meds. For me. Doesn't really bother me anymore. It's where Kaveh is. I'm not going to engage him in mind breaking emotional abuse. Forum meta. Even though I could.
I've a lot of self restraint. Even my recent IRL abuser was given months of leeway and in the end I protected them from my anger and put myself at risk and hardship for them and our family.
I don't feel like getting into details, I don't expect people to take stuff like that at face value.
But, yeah. It's nice to be nice, and not just an angry, fearful, hurt, animal, growling in pain.
Humans need hierarchy and most permission. And males particularly struggle with freedom and power. There is an in born need for the male homosapien to loudly proclaim their dominance and authority. In the modern age It's been stripped from the Arena and transplanted to the forum or the commentary at the bottom of opinion pieces.
Trans people commit suicide because they don't have the experience to transcend this while simultaneously being considered problems, blamed, and being cruelly mistreated and dismissed by people who are unhappy and need something to blame or attack or worry about or, at the most basic level draw attention away from themselves.
