Re: Tech bug across all chats tonight (Wednesday 3rd)
Aww that’s good then. If that was my first chat I would have been panicking!!
All looking good for tonight then? If not we could do a thread. Even one ran by peers if it crashes again.

Re: Rude restaurant experience
It's borderline bullying and it's abuse like why would you want to go there.
Re: sixth form
yeah i had quite a short day since we only had assembly. i cant wait for tomorrow since ill get actual lessons. i have double sociology with a free period in between and i like the teacher, so i bet the lesson will be quite engaging and fun. i also have a counselling session on friday at 11am so i need to be ready for that instead of doing sociology. @AnonymousToe
Re: being aggressive
Cheers for the reply . Female povs are welcome . I’m sorry you had to go through the trauma . That must be hard
Last night a fella here was roaring I’m the king of all men and then looked at me and said who am I king of? I really did not want to say of all men. It made me feel small. He got right up in my face and asked again so I said it. He scruffed up my hair and said ya that’s right. I feel like he would’ve been really angry if I didn’t say it
I feel like this was aggressive for no good reason and a lot of people around me are like that. Maybe I won’t be like that. I hope I can be a good person
I might go to mass Sunday to see if I feel better. I’ve been trying to go every week but stuff is just hard at the minute

Re: being aggressive
Obviously I’m looking at this from a female POV, but I was raised around shouting and aggression (not violence) from one of my siblings .. I have absolutely no clue where she got it from as my parents were never like that. I don’t think it will automatically make you the same. I was never ever an aggressive angry person before i went through trauma. That was worse than listening to shouting for 10 years for me.
Re: The role of support group moderators
One of the reasons i struggle in my other job is because the support given is meant to be a bit robotic. This defo isn't in the spirit of chat imo as it's never ever been like that in the many, many years i have been there. I think bringing this in over time would have meant mods and users can feel more comfy with it.
Re: The role of support group moderators
This has been a very sudden change and while it sounds like it might work really well in the long term, last night was strange and made me very anxious. The mods clearly wanted to say more but weren’t allowed. It’s a shame as I think both kinds of support are important
And it’s just not the same and wasn’t a gradual change like the last time this was trialled a few years ago and didn’t work.
