I think it's because they don't know how to actually use computers and I guarantee 99% of them are phoneposting or used to Appleslop products, which have a less transferable conceptualization of how HTML, file formatting/location, redirection, etc works. They think anything that ends in .exe is a virus so I'm surprised they don't think accessing lolcow is going to get them arrested kek. I'm not saying that phoneposting makes you a zoomer or tech illiterate. Some people are just lazy and don't realize they can just check /meta/ or google.

Are you mentally unstable bpdemon? Do you cry once a day (or once an hour)? Did your therapist give up on you, or worse, are you the therapist? Then welcome, this is the thread for you!

The “rules” are:
>don’t reply to vents
Go ahead and reply passive-aggressively or misinterpret everything instead.
>no derailing
You can’t derail a train that was already on fire and off the tracks.
>be kind
LMAO

Come here to whine, scream, cry, and trauma-dump like it’s 3am and your brain worms won’t shut up. No vent is too small, no spiral too dramatic. Whether you’re mad at your job, your mom, your body, your ex, or just the way someone looked at you on the street, POST IT HERE.

Reminder:
This thread is for miserable losers only. If you’re emotionally stable, well-adjusted, or have anything resembling hope, get out of LOLCOW.

Suggestions for managing anger on a short term or long term basis; recognising repeat triggers, healthy ways to channel anger, and what you've already tried that hasn't worked for you: exercise, journalling, and so on. Not a vent thread about personal circumstances and more about recognising it as a psychological pattern or addiction.

I just searched the word anger and it popped up, also OP spelled it as anger "magnament” so that is probably be why it didn’t show for you

No. 2618011

>>2618007
ok in that case:
I fall back on anger as a default emotional response after a long time of getting my boundaries over-ridden with my family and so being angry feels like I'm protecting myself or motivating myself to act. Exercising helps but journalling or contemplative analysis doesn't, I need to channel it into feeling active in some other way.
It's still difficult though because if I'm getting angry over past wrongs that I can't do anything about or even anything similar, ragecleaning or going for a run aren't similar enough on an emotional level to feeling like I'm righting the wrong so it doesn't help as much as it should in those situations.

Ayrt I recommend it nonna. It might be painful in the beginning but all it takes is a few months for you to feel so much better and less lonely too, paradoxically. It's best to invest in real life relationships and keep online discussion in the anonymous imageboards, at least here we're not developing attachments to other anons and replicating toxic discord communities. I loved my online friends but they couldn't be saved, and if they knew my true beliefs (terf) they would brand me a suppressive person too (one of them even did back in the subtweet saga). It was better for me in the long run to stop walking on eggshells and pretending to be something I'm not out of fear of losing 10 year old friendships.

the coffee shop job i work at has been peeving me for a year or so because my managers tweak out over every small thing. remember to write on cups! no you can't write a smiley face! write a whole sentence! but make sure you make that in 15 seconds or less! also now make 6 of them and get it out in 30 seconds or less or the manager won't get a big bonus!

i feel bad because i work hard at my job but i really don't care anymore. i miss my old manager who who quit because the job was getting too brainwashy because every manager i interact with now speaks to me like i'm 5 years old.

Apparently agreeing 'lolcow behavior is lulzy' is off topic enough to merit a ban but 'I haven't even watched this but I'm going to assume this cow agrees with me and I'm RIGHT' isn't derailing or unintegrated newfag behavior. idk if the weeb threads just get assigned the most aggrieved turbo-autist jannies or what but no wonder everyone avoids that thread like the plague in preference of the ones in /g/.

This ban is from /g/ after someone said they were 16 bmi. I thought saying your BMI is breaking rules so why is the OP post unbanned but the person making a joke at the person's expense banned? I actually have seen a few bans the last 6 months for anons telling someone who is ana posting to lose more weight instead of the ana poster being banned. Super weird.

My mom is such a killjoy, you can not tell her anything without her adding something negative, like I excitedly told her I was going to see my favorite band live 3 times this year and she went "isn't the show the same all the time though?". Who cares, the band probably won't exist anymore in the next 5 years because the leader is a turbo boomer, I'm trying to see them as much as possible before they quit. I also mentioned I was getting a new tattoo in blackwork next week and ofc she said "yeah black is better because it's the easiest color to laser off", why the hell would you say that about a tattoo I don't even have yet? I don't think she even does it purposefully, she is naturally negative about things she doesn't understand.
