Don't be mean behind the screen

This is a reminder for everywhere in internet world in general, I didnt think it was needed as much even in 7 cups too... a place where it is evident most people are hurting and battling some challenges but I guess some people treat every place similar and are never thinking about others or their struggles ... it is sad and frustrating at times because having a trashy off cups life we don't need to deal with your unkind self who passes unsolicited opinions and tries to feel better by putting others down for no reason at all ... it is easy to be mean online ... it really is ... you can just say something and remove your account, change username, block person or do nothing and still be around but you dont realise the impact your 1 unkind word can make on someone ....you don't realise that someone can lose sleep because of it ... skip food because of it ... go back to their self isolated space because of it .... start having trust issues with people or humanity or never consider talking to people again because of it .... you dont know and and you dont care ... but it's not right .... please care ... even a little and be kind to others by being kind to yourself first... you can do better.

Hurting people who are already in a bad place in life isn't your solution or an end to your suffering... do yourself a favor and start being kind ... it'll help more 😊

Have nothing kind to say? Say nothing... it is you being kind enough for the world !!

when I first became active here i was happy to see an actual positive, supportive and kind space , it still is usually but some people just need to ruin it for god knows what reason....I don't want mine or other people's experience here being bad ... we are here to seek support..please do that and let us do that also! If you are kind .. you'll receive more kindness ... I can guarantee that from my side at least 😊

Some ways to handle situations where people are unkind/rude :

In forums:

Flag posts that are unsupportive or violate guidelines

In rooms:

Mute the user as it can temporary remove their messages for you until you refresh

In PMs:

I haven't got any unkind listeners recently thankfully. But if they are then we can send feedback for them and report or block as necessary

In general, I'm glad we aren't obliged to reply to people and so I usually don't respond to people who try to engage in unnecessary drama and conflict and remove myself from any space that feels uncomfy !!

I can think of these many for now ....if anyone has more ideas or thoughts to share without being unkind about this lmao then please go ahead 💕 thanks for reading!

A huge shout out to all the kind people I've met here also [and those I haven't... I hope soon 🤗]... you all make me continue to believe in humanity and trying, thanks so much for always being really kind and understanding towards everyone 💕
