Venting Let's all try to remember there are real people behind usernames

Sometimes we forget that there are actual people suffering and in pain behind those fake names and fake profile pictures. It would be nice if we all try to remember that and be a little more considerate with our comments. We are all suffering in our own way and in the internet world it's understandable to get carried away and forget those names are representatives of real life vulnerable people with feelings, But let us all try and do better.

Of all the places on the internet to troll.. ? You've got to have the mental development of a child.

Exactly! Even though everyone is pretty much focused on their own problems, when we interact, it's incredibly important to remember that there are real people on the other side of the screen. And each one of us is struggling in their own way. We should never compare it, never assume that everyone who's suicidal feels the same.
Most of us probably are mentally ill or disordered, too, so we should be really careful about the advice we give and receive.
