this is an online forum and is NOT the place to try to have a "sensitive" discussion. irl covers that pretty well. how well do you know us anyways that you didn't think that we (mostly me, i'll admit) would derail this thread? like, seriously. we don't need to know about your rejection count. behind the wall of the internet, there is no way for us to convey emotion to you. from your examples, you were probably trying to have a relationship with some gal before your parents trusted you to cross the street.

'''That may be your experience, Gob, but... this community saved my life from suicide. I disagree that sensitive discussions shouldn't take place online. For one, we can't exactly discuss things IRL - being in different countries - so online is currently the only way to reach the people Betima trusts. Derailing a thread that the OP (original poster) doesn't want derailed is just rude. "We don't need to know" is literally just apathy. If you don't care, that's okay, but don't speak for everyone else when this post wasn't directed at you.''' I agree with Jally in that online doesn't have to be a bad place to have a sensitive discussion, but I also think a public thread on the off-topic board isn't either. You can always take this to somewhere outside of your own public server, for example, and talk in private.

Edgy is being borderline on being politically incorrect, its the way I use. Other people have different definitions.

'edgy' can be really subjective and really annoying
