I'm not talking about people who try to get attention after they've gone through something bad, I am talking about people who just want attention, and use people who feel bad for others that are sad. I'm sorry that you misunderstood.
No, I didn't misunderstand. You don't KNOW that a post is only trying to get attention. You ASSUME that a post is only trying to get attention. And you know what assuming does.
(It makes an ass out of everyone)

It all depends on the person. It might make them feel bad for the person who made the post. Others (such as me) simply get annoyed because most of the time it is just for attention, and nothing bad really happened to them.
I KNOW I don't have to read everything, but if some one else decides to click on the post, they may become sad.
Ok, no.
You have no idea what a post's purpose is. And who cares if someone wants attention after they've gone through something sad? That's HUMAN NATURE. Get over yourself.
One could say that this post was purely for getting attention. Oh, you filthy attention whore, you. (Not like it's actually a bad thing, though, unless you're doing something horrible to get the attention, like, say, suicide.)
Now you're trying to speak for other people? (Who should actually take the advice here, as well. You DO NOT have to read ANYTHING.) You can tell by the title what a post will contain. Don't want to get sad? Don't visit the thread. Simple as that.

I agree about the first part. That may be true, but if you don't trust your family members, and people that are close to you, then you shouldn't trust anyone.
It's not that they don't trust them, it's that they don't want to be judged by them, or treated differently.TheSuggsieBy "bringing people down" I mean that most of these posts have a story about how the person got sad i.e. their gf broke up with them. Most people, when they hear a sad story, they become sad. I didn't mean "bring them down" as if to hurt them verbally, I meant it as if to make them feel bad for the person posting it.
Ahh - Well, like I said before (in the edit I made to my original post) if something like that is really making you upset, just go watch a few silly videos, and you'll forget about it. It's not something that's happening to you, and you don't have to keep reading threads like that, so it should be a one-time thing.
DohvakiinAS I SAID IN THE POST the point of it was not to demand people to stop people making posts like that. OF COURSE anyone can post anything they want in the general discussions area, I just want those people to know that their posts affect other people.
Well, exactly how do they affect others? I am actually quite interested in what you have to say. Also:creeperCaroleYou don't have to read ANYTHING in this area if you don't want to.
SilverKyttenPeople ask strangers to help them, because strangers don't judge as harshly as people that they know - even people that they love.
I don't see how asking for personal help can bring someone else down - If there are any posts trying to do that, you should report them immediately.
