[Suggestion] Emotional support.

[Headshot]

Well how about, do it but don't call it 'Emotional'.

You're wrong. This is a SUPPORT FORUM not just a computer support forum.

At the idea, it wouldn't be a horrible idea. People are more susceptible to opening up in a forum where no one really knows them rather than talking to others IRL. I don't know how popular it would really be but I think it's a possibility.

The thing is, most active people here know each other. Maybe not IRL, but, from this and other forums, and talk regularly on MSN. That's why I voted no. But, I also agreed with an above post about anonymous posting. Where, maybe, only Omni could see who was who (maybe mods, but, that's not really necessary).

I didn't think about it that way, good point, Omni has many members tied to many forums.

Well how about, do it but don't call it 'Emotional'.

I think it will be titled a little more elegantly than that. lol

Well, this wouldn't interest me personally, but it doesn't mean that i'm against the idea.
I believe that everything is good to help other people.
Sometimes, just take a try to explain our problems is enough to feel better.
And some positive answers could change the mood of someone in the world, that's not negligeable.

I voted yes. It would change a bit the communauty.

I think it would be a good idea to have something like this. Everybody needs life help every once in a while.

I can, however, see that having someone say the wrong thing just trying to be "that guy" could really make things worse. But I think most of the people that would visit that section would have the intention of helping the people that need it, not to get a kick out of someone else's misery.

Oh that's coming along with the Automobile Support

Sarcasm.

[DAMINK™]

Is any one here a licensed therapist?

Not sure how that matters.
I would imagine most topics here dont have "licenced" people related to it.

[nevets04]

I dont think that would be very popular

I dont think that would be very popular

It would be, since I'm here.

Sarcasm.

What makes you think it was sarcasm? I created the thread about the auto section. Read it and point out any sarcasm you may think exists.

I doubt that, but I also doubt that everyone who helps here is certified I'm certainly not, but I like to think of myself as helpful. Everyone human has empathy. Whether they express or not is not important. In that sense, anyone can help out.
