UPDATE:

It's been a while since i've been on a forum, in a chat room or anything social online. I must say, it's such a breath of fresh air. My hope is to encourage someone reading this after a bad experience with online communities that you have all the power within to comfort and encourage yourself. Most online communities are toxic because there's a power struggle, a clash of values, and just immature people that hide behind a screen. It made me think about how we communicate in modern times, and while I am all for technology and online interactions, I believe that we must be as selective as we are in our daily lives.

You have the power to encourage yourself and to form real relationships with people who are healthy and will add value to your life. Most of the people that create clique groups online and engage in cyber bullying are broken people. They do not have a sense of control in their lives, so they form these groups to feel they belong somewhere.

Remember, we are all whole people. We don't need anyone to complete us. So from now on, I decided to seek out healthy and wholesome people - individuals - who are not competitive, lacking home training and integrity.
These online groups cannot replace real friendships and while making new friends takes time, you are whole and complete RIGHT NOW!

This is how we overcome toxicity and cyberbullying. But not relying on these "resources" to soothe and comfort us but standing on our own two feet until we find healthy and real interactions.

I hope this comforts someone. Cheers!

I'm not surprised at how low the ratings are for this website.

Stay away at all cost. This website is full of trolls and corrupt administration/mods.

They have clique groups, and mob groups that attack you if you speak your mind, defend yourself or go against what the common herd is doing.

If you are healthy, mature and a person who is seeking those that are like minded, don't join. They also don't delete accounts and there's no way to delete mistakes or posts.

I hope this helps someone!
