To add onto what citremi said, it is possible to get a sense of emotion through writing like

this fucking dipshit shit word of fucking writing or
it's not like this writing is meant to trick your emotions or anything lol or
I'm not sure, but if this writing is expressing emotion, nvm or
I don't care what this makes you feel like just but you do you or
etc and so on

but it's not possible to get a real sense of the person's emotions writing those without seeing them face-to-face, like citremi said
It's easier to act online than in real life, and most of it is act for joking. Most, however.

because when you talk over text like this, there's no emotion other than the words themselves, which might not even convey any kind of emotion either

face-to-face, you can tell from the look on their face maybe, but online there's no face to look at

it's almost robotic
you need add emotes (ノ´ヮ´)ノ: ・゚

Going off what CDFA said, Eph I suggest you still allow dark humor in here but have a pinned thread on top basically saying you don't mind the shit, but also, since OT likes dark humor cake with a cherry on top, have the stuff CDFA said about seeking for help in case the person is actually in trouble.

Instead of just sticking it up there verbatim, it'd probably be best to go over it and revise it a bit. Not that I doubt CDFA's advice, but I think it'd be best to make sure we're covering everything.
Can we come up with the actual points to post or are should I go back to circlejerking with CDFA?

To be honest, everything that needs to be addressed has been posted well by each of you, especially on the second page.

(that and I don't have much to say regarding momi's disapproval of using professional therapist)

so it'd be better to just... lock? It's an announcement, after all. I don't see much of progression other than stating what has been stated.

One thing, anyway, that I'm open to listening if in any case someone just needs a pair of ears for it. I'd be glad that as a community we agree that we're supportive and will not consciously use one's depression as a shitpost material.

1) Speak with a trained professional.
read opinions about them lol
i have had horrible, nearly traumatizing experiences because my parents took me to whoever
Sorry to hear about that (ok wf i sound like customer service) but then that whoever isnt a professional. That or the practice there isnt as good as I think it is, being a first world country and stuff.

Being a counselor/psychologist/psychiatrist isnt just something that people take up because it pays good, but rather, it pays when you help people with their stuff. I hope the next time you visit one you won't encounter the same uneasiness you probably felt before.

Also, trained professionals arent supposed to tell you what to do, but rather guide you to the steps on being okay. Anything else is a waste of time. And to everyone, being in the field of Psychology or not, lets be mindful of what we say or do, and be a helping hand to others who needs them.

there's been a frankly obscene level of self-depreciating or negative posts cropping up lately and i'm too old to fully fathom whether this is just some fad to be edgy and pretend to be hurting or whether people are legitimately hurting and just taking the opportunity to vent it in here (or maybe a bit of both)

while i don't wanna stifle stuff here, the level of "i'm gonna kill myself" and "my life is miserable and everything sucks" in this forum lately has exceeded any level that can be considered as "ironically amusing" by any standards, and i'm actually more than a little concerned about a few of you at this point

can we all universally agree to maybe tone back the self-dep and negging a little bit? being stupid and endearingly dumb is perfectly fine and well within the scope of OT but holy shit dudes, there's like five threads on the frontpage at the moment that are some variant of "i wanna die"

It’s important to note when he says it’s ok to be stupid he means stupid not to be stupid in a stupid way but stupid in a not stupid but still stupid way.

It’s important to note when he says it’s ok to be stupid he means X not to be Y
Let x = stupid
Let y = stupid in a stupid way but stupid in a not stupid but still stupid way

y is a little confusing so let's continue,

to be W in a Z way but W in a V way
Let w = stupid
Let Z = stupid
Let v = stupid but still stupid

We get,

Perhaps punctuation will help

So thats mean that stupid is not stupid but actually its still stupid in a sense of stupidity and not the other stupid?

yes, pretty much. To be more clear,
stupid in the sense of stupidity, but not stupid in the sense of full on retarded stupidity

Haha, wait, wait, if this is serious (I'm sorry I still can't take this as serious) it has to be the lowest point this forum has reached in the entirety of its existence, but if it's not then Phem is just a mongrel, so no matter which way I look at it here, it's sad this thread exists.

Just, holy shit.
