BlahTherapy

Many nurses from red deer regional hospital use this i know 3 and one bullied me let me say personal content to her somehow forgot painted me as a monster humiliated me beyond belief in public. And the thing is they are strangers and i loved them as people but this site lets possibly good stranger people abuse u anonymously. Im speaking out cause im beyond traumatized.

The purpose of the website is great but the people who join as listeners don't listen at all and give useless advices then just leave, I've also joined chats as a listener but I never leave the chat until I make sure the person on the other end feels better. If you join as a listener please don't be rude because some of us actually need to vent and have no one to listen to.

I told the listener on this site that I just needed to vent and that I find it offensive when people offer oversimplified solutions to a complex problem. The listener agreed that oversimplified solutions were annoying, then proceeded to offer flippant and unrealistic solutions as I described the problem I am having. Their suggestions included legal action with no basis or tricking an abuser into paying me money so I can get away. I can't believe how bad this "therapy" is. It's worse than a public forum. Something that really offends me is when I say I can't afford to abandon my mortgage and live elsewhere and people tell me to just leave. No one ever listens. This site just confirmed that I am entirely alone and no one believes what I say about my situation.

At first Blah therapy was great, i could have some great discussions with good people but after 2 days of using it I started coming across some really inapropriate and rude people who just wanted to get into conflicts. I do not recommend.

Most of the negative reviews here are because of an bad Listener. The website itself is quite good, and it's really helped me a lot when I've had problems in my life. It's great to be able to talk to someone anonymously, as a friend. Anyone complaining about a bad Listener matchup obviously didn't read the (very short) conditions written underneath the 'Proceed to Chat' button. I'd recommend this site to anyone who has a simple problem that they want to talk to someone about.

It's great when you find a good listener that helps, it's so nice to have someone to talk to who's there for free and has life experience to share. There are a lot of weirdos. The minute I don't like someones energy I just leave and find someone I do like. I think thats how you can avoid the more unsavoury element of public internet.

There were rude and called me bad-mannered for requesting to be referred to by an alias. I clarified that my requested alias was NOT my real name. They called it a nonsense word and asked me why they should use it. They never even let me vent and were rude to me right from the start.They insisted that they were 'kind enough to give me a second chance' even though I never did anything wrong/rude. Another person didn't even read/pay attention to my messages at all and replied with nonsense. Both were very rude and dismissive before I even started talking about my problems. They found it funny when they made me upset.

I have been on both sides of the spectrum here, venter and listener. I love that it's free and 24/7. You can grab good listeners on here. I was very depressed and alone one night and a listener on here helped me get through the night when it would've been miserable otherwise. I cried and told her about things in my life and it helped immensely, I wish I knew her real name so I could say thank you to her. As for listeners, as long as you cut out a block of time (few hours) then you'll be good. Most sessions end up being about an hour but I had one last about 3 before. You can really help people being the listener and I love that it's also free for people like me that like helping people without all the hassle and in a place where people come at their wits end because they have no one else to talk to.

A lot of the listeners on this site are really rude and not helpful, some have a habit of disconnecting if you do not respond in a minute. Reporting people seems to do nothing because I will match with the same person I have reported. There should be an algorithm that blocks the person you have reported. I had one listener call me dumb because I had was have creative block. Another common thing is the listener will ask, "do you have someone to talk to?"... well that is why I am on this platform. There are some listeners are trolls. It is not a great place to seek out if you are actually in a mood (if you had a bad day at work). This site also seems to attract a younger crowd of listeners. For instance, someone in their mid to late 20s would not be a good match for this site. There are listeners that meet that age range but that is a rarity. Mostly its people in their early to mid teens. The site can disconnect randomly, this has not been fixed.

Went to vent for the first time to a stranger. Just said a couple words about what I wanted to vent about and 1st person says I'm "arrogant and self-abusive then." Got disconnected. 2nd person says "f**k me then. After I said what I wanted to vent about, then was disconnected again! 3rd person was nicer, talked to me longer but asked personal questions & gave some weird, generic responses. Asked if I "had anything to vent about" after we had already been discussing it for several minutes. Would not recommend! The listeners seemed rude, inappropriate and like trolls or bots.

Terrible, most of the people that come on aren't even helpful, some even make you feel worse after, I don't understand why anyone would come on a place to listen to people venting if they're not actually gonna listen and they're just gonna be rude to you.

Idk if I know these people but if they are people I know in real life going anonymous they use every opportunity to be nasty. Or they could just be lying manipulators... anyway I'm done with this site.

There is something wrong with the people on here.

When I chatted they were extremely rude to me and they were dismissive.

I know they are trolls and they hate on you. But I was eager to just let out the stress.

There aren't very many sites to vent on anyway because there are trolls online everywhere. And also I wanted to give this site a try.

When you vent to these people they say things that don't make sense on this site.

Like they said "Why don't you do this____ like a normal person?"

It's a bunch of nonesense and also there is no such thing as normal.

I didn't like how they accused me of calling people a jerk when I didn't do that. These people are crazy.

Stay clear of this site. I didn't want to talk to people that lacked intelligence anyway.

I never go on the site anymore. Good riddance! I found something that was better instead.

Three words for each attempt: full of $#*!s. The site tells you you can vent your problems to total strangers, and I'm sure somewhere it says, "Oh, don't worry! We're all friends here!" But I was going through some insane trouble a while back and wanted to get it off my chest. I connect to someone who seems neutral at first but eventually grows bored with my story. The second person suggested I "grow some balls," and the third said he didn't even care. How's that for friendly? Paid therapists are much better, even if they are only in it for the cash. Think again before you decide to drop your burdens here.
