hewo I'm ruby

i've been texting her

After reading through this entire thread, I'll make a long post sharing my thoughts on the matter.

For one, this was a hello post, where she was introducing herself (Yes, she may have had another account previously). These posts usually die out after about 5 posts, when a few people respond with a hello. This was a little different.

It starts out with a few individuals emphasizing that she has no fears, which escalates into heated arguments. It was mostly started by Lyand (big surprise), Pesky, and Pitiless's pointless comments and lame jokes. Obviously, she was feeling triggered, but everyone continued to gang up on her. Despite what everyone thinks, you all were the ones playing the victim. You guys were rude for the entirety of this post but still wanted her to apologize for calling you all jerks (Which is very true in this instance.) The OP is clearly depressed (Even suicdal), but all you guys wanted to do was continue to hurt her and add flames to the fire. Some of you even went as far as to speak against her sexuality and personal choices.

I only saw a few people speak out against this obvious bullying, while the others just continued to say terrible things to her and her wife. Thank you to those few who did.

For the rest of you, get over yourselves and know when it's best not to comment on a post. This could've been a chill Hello thread (Which is what it was supposed to be), but all of you decided it was a good opportunity to troll and attack someone who already has depression and other issues. Good people don't do that. The worst part is that good friends of mine added to this. Ninja, EMG, c9n, Pitiless, and so many others. I'd expect this from Lyand who has already proven to have a soul purpose here to start arguments, but not from most of you.

To address the OP and her wife (Husband?), congratulations on your marriage. I wish you guys the best of luck going forward.

For Ruby, please don't hurt yourself in any way. Please get some type of mental help, either by an online resource, therapist, or in some other way. Here are some helplines for the US.

right when i thought lyand changed for the better 🕊️

I dedicated a song to her and gifted her a membership. She should listen to the song. It's a cool song.

I was trying to stay calm but people were mean I didn't wanna cut but they triggered me and I guess I'm the bad one.

Not from what I saw.

But like I said, please don't commit self-harm. Feel free to ask me any questions about the steps you should take regarding what seems to be a deep level of depression. What's more important than a silly argument on chess.com is that you're ok.

i've tried getting help bc of my depression it made it worse then now everyone here made it worse..

I didn't make it worse and I'm sure there are others that didn't make it worse. You can always block the worst ones.

Well, if the people here trigger you that much, then I would recommend leaving the off-topic section. You can stay here to talk to friends via DMs, but you'll continue to receive the same hate from the same people if you decide to stay. Just a warning.

What kind of help have you received?

alot of people hurt me..

everyone that said stuff to me and hurt hint hint they know who they r..they played the victim

I am here to apologize, I do know that I was in the conversation with you, your wife, and everyone else, I might have helped set you off and I am sincerely sorry. After you mentioned committing self harm, I did try to help, I tried to direct you to Basix's thread. I am sorry for what I and many others did, I hope you get better and that life for you and your wife get better. Once again sorry.

yall hurt y'all acted like I didn't have feelings.

...its ok..

Yes, I might have helped set you off, but I only asked why you and your wife were speaking on a public Chess.com thread. After you mentioned self harm I did try to help you, and again I apologize for what I said.

...

I'm a bit late as I'm not on otf as often. But welcome (back? Idrk) Ruby!

Since I did the most damage, here is my apology: I was insensitive and judgemental and I apologize. I apologize for making fun of you and for not helping with your issues. I hope you can defeat your depression and anger issues and live a happy life.

Yea

me too

im sorry
