***Why I share*** I’ve been thinking about something lately—why am I sharing about my struggles, my failures, my small wins, here on read.cash. The first reason I can think of is that this platform isn't like other platform that is too public and harsh (like Twitter). People here respond politely or maybe it is because this platform has become a ghost site and most of my friends aren't longer here anymore. Right now, I'm treating this platform as a public kind of digital diary where I can share my little wins and my struggle with depression (Oh, I finally said it out.) But one thing that is true is that I’m not doing this for attention, which can be misunderstood if I posted on social media. Rather, I’m doing this for clarity because writing helps me untangle my thoughts. It gives shape to emotions I can’t always explain out loud. And by sharing publicly—even if just a few people are reading—it creates a sense of accountability. It tells my brain, _*“You showed up here. You don’t have to disappear again.”*_

It's a platform where we can share our feelings.
Yeah. Thanks. Hope you are enjoying the platform so far.
Well, I think people here are kind coz they build here their credibility for years. Of course they are afraid getting hate comments once they tell something crazy. 🤪
Yes, people here are very kind unlike the toxicity in the social media. And sure credibility plays a part. Thanks for the comment.
We could say taht people here are responsible and they are mindful of what they say to people especially who are going thru something like yours. This site also became and is altill my emotional outlet, I could not oost on fb because like you, I fear to be judged and even get more stressed
Yes social media these days are full of junk. I just like it here. It is quiet.
