I once played 3 hours of modern warfare 2 with the same group back in the day, just because some guy was pouring out his life story and how much life sucked for him around the time. He sent me a quick "thanks for letting me rant" message and I didn't hear from him again for years.

Then out of the blue I get a message that's basically a letter, and it's all about how life was difficult but some random person taking the time to listen without judgment made all the difference for his plans that night.

So I will never cut someone off to tell them I don't have time to listen to their problems, or pull out my phone to play a game, get annoyed with someone who won't stop talking, whatever... Sometimes all a person needs is someone to listen.

That's sort of the design of therapy: a neutral 3rd party who you can open up to without the usual conversational rules.

Except you probably don't call your therapist "UltimateTrollWarrior" (or maybe you do, I don't know your life).

I've definitely spilled my guts to a number of internet strangers. It's nice to not have repercussions for my crazy.

Exactly why therapy is so useful.

I could never tell my family and friends part of me hated them because their love guilted me into not killing myself.

Town of Salem is great, but at some point you realise screaming the loudest often wins lol
