i really don’t get something, whenever i come here, i don’t see anyone talk about their problems, is everyone really okayyy all the time? or do you believe that you shouldn’t share when you feel bad because it gives negative vibes it’s kinda weird to me, i’ve always thought that talking about our struggles not only makes us feel lighter, but maybe someone will give advice, or even just a simple word can motivate us i’m not saying people here are showing off or pretending, don’t get me wrong, but for me, this space feels more like a vitrine, everyone just shows their happy version and hides the hard parts of life, this hiding makes conversations one sided, just as we don’t see each other’s pain and weaknesses, we also miss the chance to help, empathize, and create deeper connections maybe we’ve gotten used to only showing the good moments and successes online because we think complaining or opening up about pain gives bad vibes or even questions our worth, but personally, i believe when we’re honest about our realities, even the unpleasant parts, that’s when a space becomes human and breathable, that’s when people feel safe together, not in competition i’m not saying everyone should lay out all their problems, but at least a little balance could be created, between feeling good and feeling bad, between showing achievements and sharing failures, that balance could make the online space, especially here, feel more like a real community, a place where we celebrate, console and learn from each other

Anyone can be as authentic and open as they want. People are not obligated to respond or support. I run into this all the time, because I am far from shallow but the truth is - I don't ever expect anyone to care. I am not fishing for sympathy, or being an emotional cypher. If my own struggles can ever help someone else feel not alone, or makes it easier for them to understand their own issues, then maybe it was worth it. Going through hell alone is usually the norm, unfortunately. At least in the Western hemisphere. Case and point: I started a channel here years ago, and my desire eventually shifted, I want(ed) to tread the very path you suggest. A community that acknowledges "it takes a village". Crickets. But that could also just be because I am an awful poet and recovering art addict. I also never promoted or pushed it. I feel like when people are ready, if they need last resort support and compassion, and a place to belong when nowhere else will accept them.. I'll be here.

at least i can say for myself, like you, i’m never looking for pity, there was a really beautiful part in what you said: (if my struggles can help someone else feel less alone or understand themselves better, then that’s enough for me), i hadnt looked at it from that angle, it really struck me i think everything becomes so much more real when we share our true selves in any state, our words, mixed in with all the laughter and the tears, carry so much meaning, cameron said something real https://farcaster.xyz/cameron/0x9fe6c254
