Seriously.
There seem to be an increasing amount of threads where the OP comes on in either AIBU, Chat or Relationships wanting people's opinion on something which they think or believe. But when other posters don't support them, or even have a go at them, they become upset/ distressed/ mortally offended at this.
Now personally, I think generally if someone puts up a post asking for other people's opinions, they should expect what they get, i.e. a combination of support and approbation, providing it obviously doesn't spill over into personal attacks or spiteful comments so my inate response would be "You asked for opinions - don't whinge because they don't all agree with yours."
On the other hand, it's clear that some OPs genuinely just need (for whatever reason) a supportive, friendly and non-judgemental ear even if they are being utterly unreasonable. What do you think?

AIBU?
...there should be a new topic area for people feeling fragile/ needing a supportive ear?
