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.

I think people pick and choose their platforms for specific purposes. Personally I like to share art, snapshots of my day and uplifting things, as there is already too much distressing things going on in this world that are being talked about elsewhere. I do write more personal anecdotes and biographical articles on Medium however, but at the forefront is always art. I appreciate however people who are bold enough to show their most vulnerable side at times and share their struggles along with their wins. @laursa.eth is a real one! Love her authenticity as well.

It used to be different here, but it doesn’t seems to take root. To put it frankly, the majority simply doesn’t care. A sad state of affair, and also the reason so many artists leave.

people definitely do share their problems here, i see it almost every day, just maybe not as loudly as the happy posts.. most of us try not to let the heavy stuff cloud everything but the feelings, rants and rough days are here too. and when they do come up, folks really do comfort.. listen and give advice. maybe you just haven’t bumped into that side yet but trust me it’s here and that’s what makes this space feel real sometimes

I’m not very good at talking about what I’m going through I guess social is like my therapy, I use it to smile through the pain

I’m very grateful to have a strong support system around me for processing the kind of problems I think you’re describing. I don’t feel the need to seek out that support or invite that commentary online. I find myself coming to online spaces like this when I want to read or share things that people in my IRL circles may not be immediately interested in. It can feel like an exchange of knowledge more immediate and serendipitous than offline. It’s not that I don’t think someone can contribute something helpful about my life problems online. It’s just that my cup is full in that regard offline. I also don’t believe in sharing for the sake of correcting anyone’s image of my life as problem-free. Personally, regardless of what I see online, I don’t assume life is perfect for any human. We all experience fear, loss, change, etc. I assume everyone is going through those motions privately in their own way, whether they post about it or not.
