What is it with this site....

And the type of people it attracts?

Why does it attracts so many depressed, unmotivated, lonely, whiny, introverted dreamers/escapists/time wasters?

And I mean there's nothing wrong with expressing your feelings and connecting with others but most people don't really seem to want a resolution or to really look inside and get to the root of their problems.

This place has become an echo chamber of people seeking pity parties.

Yes, that includes the people who constantly waste time posting gifs that consist of self-depricating humor. If you put them to the test, you'll find that they empathize a little too much with the type of people I'm discussing here and become defensive on their behalf because they happen to be in the exact same boat as them.

We need more proactive and positive threads. Enough with the gloomy threads from la la land or that lost love from 6 years ago that was just a crush and never yours to begin with.

Obviously I'm generalizing here and not referring to everyone.

Piece of advice: if you are depressed, seek actual help. Don't just drown in your depression and hang around other self-pitying, depressed people online.

If you can't discuss this topic without attacking the OP because you feel called out or you won't even comment on the thread because it applies to you and makes you uncomfortable, then this thread most definitely applies to you.

Bring on hate. I don't care lol.

I just said it and been told I am becoming more awful than it seemed possible! Because I deliver the naked truth. Not pity party…

The only party I care for - orgies! 😂😂😂

Listen. When people letting themselves to fall into imaginary relationships with people who aren’t even aware of ‘relationship’ with them - it’s simple lack of logic and intuition.

Rejection is taken as personal offense.

I’ve been yelling - ‘respect people rights to NOT to love you but every day someone comes with same issue. Why? Because even you can’t deny that life is consisting of belonging with somebody. How you approach it - it’s a hard part.

You suggesting professional help. Some do have it and THEN they come here bitching about their professional helpers! What an irony!

I say the reason is for all of this - sharing something you can’t share with people in real life. And that’s all it is. Anonymousity. All goes!

So…let’s see what you’ll be getting here 😂👍

It's society as a whole. You offer a solution and nobody takes it

There is no real advice or help in the original post. Just basically calling out depressed people and wondering why they don't post non-depressing content for his convenience.

Dude. It's an *internet* site based around *astrology*. What did you expect?

How is this thread, moaning about things, any different to other threads were people are moaning about their life?

Just a friendly reminder to my fellow DXP users: First of all, check your posture and keep hydrated. Stop procrastinating, wasting time hoping, dreaming, praying, pondering about nonsense. Stop being martyrs and doormats or petty, jaded, toxic online bullies.

Less dreaming, more action. Stay focused and take responsibility for your life and happiness.

This site is for anonymous venting, people do not actually seek solutions. They're either wanting to confirm their suspicions, or validate the idea that supports their beliefs "(yup, stay away from a scorpio venus etc)"

You're taking this site too seriously. It's part of human nature to dwell and associated positive times with the past, or simply daydream.

Strongly disagree with the last paragraph when applied to the type of people I'm addressing who frequent this site. When being depressed, addicted to magical thinking to the point of delusion, being a willing perpetual martyr becomes a constant pattern and starts to become an identity then it points to a much bigger problem.

It didn't always. There were many good people who use to be here. The fact is the only people left are those who can't accept dxpnet is pretty much dead, will never come back to what it was, and will eventually shut down for good. People that can't accept everything ends eventually stuck around. Me personally, I like to ride things out till the end.

I 100% guarantee I could still make an absolute banger post if I wanted to, even with the site in the state it's in though. I'm just that epic, and forever will be.

I've got something cooking for an interesting topic. I'll get it organized, and post it likely this weekend. It might not be top tier in dxpnet standards, but it did extremely well in one of FB groups I'm in. It will sound like I'm bragging, but I've got top contributor badges for every FB group I'm deeply passionate about. I use to be really passionate about dxpnet too, but it's hard have the want to make good content when there are only like 10 viewers. I'd love to bring this place back, but idk how to promote new members. I just write stuff and try to entertain.

Hell no this is site pretty good and it feels like most people where are doing okay or trying to do okay with their lives.
