Two things that worry me:
1. Group think - if you disagree or even lightly pushback or simply question on whatever, you are a monster.
2. The forum used as a group therapy thing. It's the LGBT+ who usually want a supportive place a 100% of the time, but there's an awful lot of posters just pouring their inner feelings that's... ah dunno. Not healthy?
Like, like you can have a forum to discuss things or a group therapy thing, but not both at the same time.
I wish Era would pick one rail. Because you cant have a discussion about anything but expect support 100% of the time, then you dont really want discussion, you want group therapy. Which is ok. But trying to be both a discussion place and a 100% support group place is just going to lead to hurt feelings and misunderstandings.
Also? Cant help but point out that nobody here that I know of is a licensed therapist and there's people here with really big important mental problems asking internet people for advice, who dont have the training to actually help and may end up making things worse.
Edit: I just saw I'm the second person to mention the support group thing so I'm glad I'm not imagining things.
