Where can I vent freely

Without having to walk on eggshells for people, because apparently even self-deprecating things are somehow offensive to others. And the only actual person I can talk to about it is always too busy with school and work, as most humans are.

Jk I know no one will have an answer, or will just say get a listener.

But then I'll probably get banned because someone might get offended.

Also a place where no one is comparing their problems to others.

Also I need to feel like I'm amongst a crowd, even if no one is listening. In fact I'd rather a lot of my vents go unreplied but know that it's at least written somehwere among other human thoughts.

@Phthalo

Perhaps you can explain what type of listener you would prefer? someone who will show care, support, ask questions and hopefully explore suggestion/solutions with yourself, or, someone who will just listen, allow you a safe place to vent, offering no comments, with little replies, you seem to be requesting both in the postings above.

It may help to stipulate what your looking for in a listener, set some boundaries/expectations from the beginning, this may improve a member listener relationship.

I hope you find someone soon, finding the right level of support is important.

Amongst a crowd I suppose there will almost always be someone who will take offence or feel triggered, or react badly in some other way. You are right—the usual answer here is to find a listener who can relate to you, but the requirement for a crowd of people makes it difficult...perhaps impossible.

You are, of course, very welcome to chat with me about anything at all, though I am not a crowd.
