    So recently Lots of members seem to of posted there life story, containg emotional stuff. On the other hand some people dont want to hear it.
    My opinion on this is usealy neutral, but this time I have something to say, a wake up call.

    See many people here dont have many people IRL to talk to, my slef included. The only place were they feel accepted is here. And sence everyone is in the same boat per say we all can relate. With that people feel more comfortable here, and they want to get if off there chest.
    If you do research of any amount on things like depression or anxiety(i can attest to anxiety) the problem worsens when people dont say anything, and they act like there happy. This is because people get pissy when someone wants to talk. This creates a bottle of emotions, one that will eventually explode. See they dont feel comfortable talking about it to anyone IRL.
    But here they feel more comfortable talking, and we tend to be more accepting.
    So why do some of you have such a problem with it? If someone wants to talk, let them. If you dont want to see it dont click on it.
    Just let people spill there emotions, encouraging someone is better then tearing them down.
    Many of you have said "Oh this community is so accepting of me" Great now return the favor on someone else.
    Im not talking about server issues, or anything related to minecraft. Im talking about the threads that about IRL stuff. This thread does not apply to the "fix the server" stuff.
    There is one exception to this: Threads that openly ridicule other members, other then that who cares if someone is being emotional. It's annoying? It's inconvenient? Tough the world does not revolve around you.
    Here is what I challenge:
    Instead of tearing each other down, build each other up. Even if it annoys you just ignore it.
    We always complain about how toxic this community is, but turn around and atack people when they clearly are putting there emotions on a sleeve.

    Again this only applies to threads that are not related to minecraft or the server, those follow a different rule.
    This is not a thread to start flame, but its my challenge to you all. Im not one for making threads like this but I feel like this is being missed.

    Man.
    Reading this has made me rethink a ton I have said recently in these types of threads.
    I really do thank you for stating this.
