Just an aside, i do think people need to be careful with their words because often miswords can be construed into a different meaning.

Its happened to me a few times and plunged me into deeper anxiety , the majority here are sensitive souls and a wrong comment can cause enormous hurt, but of course there are always a very few who are ruthless with their comments and dont care a hang how it effects people that are struggling with their mental health, pick your words carefully and question how you might react.?

Well said!

"The moving finger writes

And having writ moves on.

Nor all your piety and wit

Shall lure it back

To cancel half a line

Nor all your tears

Wash away a single word!"

Hello my dear friend yes so true seems there are some that that are quite frivolous with words insults and have no care on the effect it may have on others I find a lot of phoney Ness goes on on here some say nice words to others yet they are harsh with others it's like there not sincere or too judgemental In my opinion were all vulnerable on here and I hardly bother with it here now as I know you don't either sending a hug and luv as always 💕💕a lot have left recently because of this too,it's happened to me and others I know and we left if you have any issues contact hu direct take screenshots 🤗

If wishes were horses…..but they’re not. Especially when given the cloak of anonymity. Anonymity allows people the freedom to act in a way they couldn’t get away with in real life. As someone else said here before, bad actors are the nature of the beast. The beast being any social platform. I, too, wish the people who harm others with their words would recognize the rest of us as humans with feelings and not just a way to fulfill their own perverse agenda. But some seem to have free rein (why?), don’t give a rats patooty even when they say they do and it’s hard to protect oneself because of it. What makes it worse is the bad actors have mental health issues,too. Exacerbating their negative actions. Some bad behavior goes unfettered and I can’t blame people for leaving.

Nope, wishes aren’t horses so beggars can’t ride. They just have to trudge through the mud until they find a baby blue T-Bird convertible with the keys in the ignition. And what’s the chances of THAT happening? 🏄‍♀️🩵
