This. While many posters are sensationalist and obviously biased, others try to be more objective. I’ve seen threads on Reddit where people have earnestly tried to give an objective account, and in turn, have received advice which they’ve later acknowledged as having helped tremendously. The internet, if used with proper judgment, can be a great help with personal issues. The difference is the tone of the OP. Life1 has a combination of earnest threads mixed with obviously inflammatory, venting threads. OPs are often not looking for advice.
