Yeah, support site and cry wolf don't really exist in the same sentence. Support. It's the foundation upon which we're built. People who are hesitant to help others that they think are crying wolf should consider spending their time 1) remaining silent about the matter and peruse other messages to comment on 2) consider not spending time on a support site.
Are there times we each feel like someone may be acting passive/aggressive in an attempt to get sympathy, sure, definitely. But we owe it to people as members of a support site to help each other in our moments of need. Everyone has their ups and downs, their individual triggers, their little idiosyncrasies. It's part of the reason why most of us have probably pulled back more replies than we've sent around here.
Quite a few people come to this site and other sites because they feel like they might find a compassionate place that's different than the rest of the world. If they come here because they expect the same harsh, cold, "realistic" response they are going to get in the "real world" than we'd be a social networking site, not a support site. I'd like to think that most of us around here care about people and are able to articulate that and be supportive.
It's like being at a party and you have someone over in the corner crying and threatening to hurt themselves out of despair, the same person who at the last two parties did the same thing. Do you go over and help comfort the person? Do you leave the room? Do you just not go to parties anymore where they are? Do you walk over to them, point at them and say "lol, yo, seriously, you need to get a grip. Are you going to do it or not? We're pretty sick and tired of all those hollow threats and excuses. Either do it or don't, but shut up either way!" I hope the kind of place we have here at Susan's would put most people in any group except the last one. People act out around here in so many different ways; they all need care and compassion to make it through the rough spots, even the people we "get tired of" or the people that "pull the same stunts over and over again."
