This person should post a video on YouTube so that we can all listen to it! :)

Don't scoff.
There are almost certainly a few people on this site who are genuine sociopaths. People who seriously want to hurt others and have identified SBS as a place where it will do the most harm.
The OP is right, the ones who post here are emotionally vulnerable people in need of help not mockery, and you shouldn't pretend this isn't a problem.

Unless you are a professional psychologist/psychiatrist you have no right to call anyone here a "genuine sociopath".
Also, there is a reason there's a help button in the upper corner of this page. None of us can give people help over the Internet.
What they need is a doctor/psychologist/psychiatrist.

Sorry, that did come out a little strong.
What I'm trying to say is that while most criticism on this site is meant to be constructive, some comments are outright nasty.
The argument 'people are just being truthful/subjective' doesn't excuse deliberate cruelty.

The troll fad has taken over, and commenters live just to make you hurt. Just ignore them luv. They are all assholes who wish they had a better life so to make themselves feel better they will make you feel like crap. Just know there are still SOME decent people out there and I already know that assholes will take over and comment on this one but I really don't care.
What the HELL?! if people are already being shattered daily and this is their last bit of hope, why come on and only destroy it! It doesn't matter if you don't know if they do anything, just don't say anything that might set them off! And nothing's as simple as exiting and forgetting, if it's something mean, or destructive, it stays with you. It does things to your mind and destroys you from the inside out. I posted a secret and I'm telling you now, the comments made me attempt suicide. So, there. Now you know, so Fuck OFF and think before you type.
Everything everyone here said.
Btw, Jeeun I don't see why this website would be a "last resort". Posting here doesn't fix anything. It can't magically make all your problems go away.
If they know people are going to comment in the way that they do, they should be prepared for it and not get hurt by it. Or not post. Whatever really.
Okay, I know the "bad" commentators or "trolls" can be rude at times. But honestly, they most usually are right. Sure, the way the might put it might seem rude, but it actually is logical compared to the "gurl, u r bewtiful and don't listen 2 wat anyone says <3" stuff.
They actually see if it is a person that is just trying to get attention. Because they use parts of the secret as evidence.
But the other people, you know, the "u gurl u r butiful don't listen 2 them" type aren't helping. You have never met this person. You can't call them beautiful if you don't know them. This is not even support. Sure, you might want to make OP feel better but what I'd suggest next time is give them ADVICE.

UGGHHHHH. The only time commenters are mean is if the poster is posting something that obviously shows symptoms of "Attention-whore-itis". If it's a serious secret, we take it seriously.
DON'T POST SECRETS LIKE THIS ONE, this just makes the COMMENTERS feel stupid and worthless.
You stupid trolls. This site is supposed to be where people come together to SUPPORT eachother. Why do you have to ruin it and tear down other people's self esteem down even furthur? Trolls on this website- you sicken me. OP, There is proof that people care. A lot of the comments on this are telling off the trolls, and telling you that you are worth something. I truly believe that. Try not to let others tear you down. Have faith that tomorrow will be a better day.
Actually, this is supposed to be a site where people post their secrets and other people give their opinion about it. We don't have the obligation to support anybody. There was a secret where an OP admitted that he's a rapist, are we supposed to support him too? I'm not saying that this is an excuse for assholes to act the way that do, though.
Also, I'm sorry if this came of as rude, I really had no such intentions.
"Trolls", really? Have you actually read most of the comments here? They're generally giving really good advice. No, they're not perfect but commenters are human too, right? We give advice when it's needed and reality checks when it's called for. Many of us have been here longer than you, so we actually have a better grasp of what the community is. We do offer support, but only when it's warranted. If you're complaining about something mundane, you're going to be called out on it. Actually read the comments.
Sorry, but HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT OFFENDS YOU!? As I've said before, this is a community. People here give their opinions on situations. If their opinion offends you, you just have to deal with it, because in reality, EVERYONE WHO LOOKS AT YOU has an opinion on you, and sometimes their not good. It's exactly the same with your thoughts and secrets you post.
Do you want us to coddle you and tell you how special you are? Because we aren't going to do that. We give you realistic advice, or we tell you to get over yourself, both aren't bad at all. If people are going to cut themselves or commit suicide over a comment on an anon website, then they don't need to be on the internet. Stop blaming other people for your insecurities.
How do you know this person posts videos on the internet abusing cats. Yeah f*ck people that do that. But OP could be a person that kills cats for enjoyment. If OP did that would you still think they're useful? Would you still love them? If you answer yes to both of those you should really reconsider your life. And don't say "OP doesn't do that!1111" because you have no way of knowing.
People don't have lives, so they comment on the Internet?
...So by that, you don't have a life, celebrities who have twitters don't have lives, and all the people with Facebooks who could be doing really important things and using it to market themselves don't have a life?
"the people who comment negatively on here don't have lives"
1. Trust me, it's not just negative people who can't have lives, because you're nice doesn't automatically mean you have a life.
2. Having a voice in there head will not do much, and it will probably just end up "turning" on them anyway...

You were trying hard, and you almost convinced me until I read "and then...woops, the population has gone down a bit." It made me laugh from the way you worded it. Like "Oh well, just a smaller popualtion is all."
On a completely serious note though, we shouldn't be expected to coddle people either. It's like babying a shot and then, in the end, it just makes your arm more sore than if you didn't stop using it. The truth hurts, lies hurt worse, now don't they?

If you don't want to see rude or harsh comments, either don't read them or don't post your secrets. If someone takes what a stranger - an anonymous stranger, at that - says seriously, it is your fault. If you know something is going to upset you and do it anyway, you're the one to blame.
Not only that, most of the comments I see here have great intentions behind them and I see some genuinely great advice given. I like to think of it as tough love. Just because all of the comments aren't, "Omigosh, you're beautiful no matter what anyone says!" doesn't mean they're being mean or hurtful. Harsh, maybe, but not hurtful.

Well, to be honest, sitting in a circle and telling each other how wonderful we are isn't going to solve anyone's problems. If something is wrong with your life, you at least try to fix it. Giving someone helpful advice is hardly "rude." You don't have the right to whine about how horrible your life is on the internet, of all things, if you have the ability and option to fix it, but won't because "ur bewtifool da way u r."
The truth can be harsh, but you're generally better off if you're willing to look at the world without those pseudo-optimistic rose-colored glasses blinding you. The reality is not everyone is going to be nice to you all of the time, so you definitely shouldn't expect that on a site where you have complete anonymity.
That's hypocritical. Do you have any idea what some of the commenters go through? They don't want rude, hurtful things said about them, either. The commenters give advice. Sometimes we joke around, talk to each other, and get exasperated because we see the same kind of post over and over. That doesn't mean we're not people, too. Whenever I've submitted a secret, I want advice, not people blindly saying "Ur beutiful and I love you!!!!" because that helps absolutely no one. They say to treat others as you would like to be treated. That's what we do. We give advice.
Oh the power of Disney songs. Work wonders for self confidence. :P
