I dont trust venting anymore

Why should I? I tried, it was worthless, it did nothing, people just judged me.

so some advice i have for you is you need to change your mindset about venting to others. don't go into it thinking "this is not gonna work" because with that mindset you won't get anywhere. don't be too pessimistic about it, this is a safe space, even just comfort can help you feel less alone. even just letting out your thoughts can take that weight off your chest. be OPEN about it. not everyone can magically solve our problems, and that's ok. we're all here for the same thing. and i'm sorry people judged you. however, don't let this keep you from venting. so what if ppl judged you? if u did something wrong, maybe they're just trying to let you know. if you didn't, forget about it! there's gonna be assholes everywhere. it's ok to be vulnerable.

I think you are partially right. Venting to the wrong people does create an unsafe space. Which is why therapy works so well for women, its getting to talk and see your problems for what they are and letting it out
