Oof I used to be a regular on r9k and now I cringe so hard about it. Thank God it was anonymous.

I was going through a tough time and the people there accepted me and engaged with my posts. In hindsight I think people just connected with my anger, but the venting was helpful.

At some point a friend saw my laptop and said "holy shit you're asking 4chan for advice, hahaha what the fuck is wrong with you" and she laughed until she was wheezing, and I never went back on again.
