I don't mind spilling my guts, but I am also pretty explicit about whether I just want cute emotes or actual advice. And I thank people. And respond to them. And just generally try to engage in some sort of conversation! I don't make whiny plurks that only I can respond to but everyone can see because not only does that feel ludicrously self-indulgent and aggrandising -y'know, "Look at me! My problems are so important that you can't possibly have anything useful to say about them, but I'm going to shove them in your face anyways."- but it's also something I know upsets people.
Though I admit I have deleted a plurk or two that turned out to be way whinier than I had anticipated from the opener. I don't mind sharing, but sometimes I felt I was sharing way too much. (And I won't fault people for deleting the occasional whiny plurk because I get how you can start off whiny and then take a turn into "Whoa I feel worse having this out there than I do keeping it in" territory, but when it's all. the fucking. time...)
