Sometimes people just want to say something once without it becoming part of their identity.
That’s different from attention.
Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously?
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 8 hours agoJust don’t open it to comments. People don’t need that and it’ll get ugly.
Doesn’t it just not feel like confessing at that point? Maybe I’m just an attention whore?

Nah. The therapeutic effect is from the confession not from the shitty advice or even confirmation or absolution.
Everyone wants attention. It’s one of our basic needs. But, it’s better for you to get it from positive things. Getting it from negative things is like getting your calories from soft drinks.
