Have you ever shared something real online? How did people respond?

r/

Have you ever shared something real online (your pain, your hope, something deeply personal) and regretted it? Maybe because people ignored it, or turned it into drama, or responded with pity and missed the point entirely?

Or did someone actually respond in a way that made you feel seen, understood, or even better?

I’m doing a little personal research for a project, and I’d love to hear your thoughts:

  • What made you post it in the first place?
  • What kind of response actually helped or made it worse?
  • What would a truly safe online space look like to you?

Thanks in advance :>

    On this sub I feel more seen which is a great feeling. And I’m glad I can reciprocate it to others
