I might come across weird to some people, but when I really sad post on mumsnet on people who don’t have anyone .i feel like being there for them in person to help them with their situation. 😑

You’re not weird. Compassion is seriously underrated.

Yes, I do. Sometimes I feel like I want to just meet with the person and give them a hug, listen to them talk and see if there’s anything useful I can do to help. I’m just Mrs Ordinary with my own issues going on, but a little bit of compassion can go a long way.

Yes I do too. I especially feel uneasy when someone writes a sad post and then disappears. There was one a few weeks ago from someone who felt they had messed their life up but then went quiet.

I always feel sad for the posters who say they have no one and no friends, I'll be your friend!

I know from personal experience that some posts are coming from a truly desperate place. MN can really be a lifeline at times

What a lovely thread. Kindness and compassion are wonderful qualities in a person.
The world could do with more of both.

I try to be kind to people. A smile can hide so much. I had a very difficult time last year and the odd random little bits of kindness, patience, smiles, acknowledgment I received from strangers went a long long way when I was feeling very alone and low.

The world has become so divided that the humanity is lost .

Just be a bit wary op.

A few months ago, a poster threatened suicide. Me and all the other posters on that thread were literally begging them not to do it, and it was really emotional.

When we finally heard from them I think we had all imagined the worst, which was just awful. Not sure I would get that involved again, tbh.

Yes, my heart aches for those in abusive relationships, especially when there are children having to suffer that environment, I just want to scoop them up and take them to a better place, I can’t stand children being in pain, they don’t have the choice to leave

No you are not weird. I think it’s weird if you don’t feel like you do!
