@Kirbydogs https://gbatemp.net/threads/does-xdqwerty-suck.669546/ read the comments

Does it hurt you when someone posts such threads?

@KleinesSinchen it's not the thread per se, it's the comments

It's all support. If you want to change how you are emotionally, the comments will help. We're not saying you suck, we're saying you need help- you can do this. If you feel that you need to take a break from GBAtemp, that's ok. We will welcome you when you come back, so you can take a break. Nobody hates you. You're in a community of caring people

...oh. I see what you mean now, @Xdqwerty

Sometimes I forget the internet isn't always filled with nice people.

@Kirbydogs i'd block the not-nice tempers but they are so active that conversations won't make sense anymore if I do so

I think you need to do something to make them more understanding. For all most people on here know, you're just trying to get attention. While I think that isn't true, others do. I guess not everybody understands depression is a real thing and not attention.

@Kirbydogs I recall some of those people having depression in the past

@Kirbydogs and how can I make them more understanding?

Hmm. This is hard.


If you feel that it might help you, take a break from GBAtemp. I know you have accounts on other forum websites, so just hang out there instead. Play games. Just cruise. Have fun.

It's just text on the internet. If somebody is condescending it actually shows they are behaving badly. In the very few instances when someone tried to attack me on the forum the effect was that I could not stop laughing.
The thought that a real person took their time trying to hurt me with insults, salty comments, sarcasm or whatever is amusing.

Ignore unpleasant people with you brain, not with the ignore button. I've been attack in real life. Doctors and teachers literally attempted to kill me. Guess how much effect some self-important, arrogant know-it-all on the internet can have in direct comparison.
I feel almost a bit sorry for them because they might truly believe their nonsense.

@KleinesSinchen i'm autistic, I have a different way to perceive stuff

Autistic or not, you have the ability to check for facts:

They have no direct influence on you. A PC can be shutdown
They don't know your situation to full extend; this includes myself. This severly limits how good any advise and feedback can be
Nobody has the right to make others feel bad intentionally
Text doesn't carry much of the stuff autistic people might misunderstand - for the better or worse

Enjoy your time and don't overthink.

Why?
