It’s honestly comforting to realize I’m not the only one who feels this way. The amount of restriction and control lately has gotten out of hand. Not too long ago, things felt more open and real—it was easy to have deep, honest conversations about life, relationships, emotions, and the things that actually matter. It felt like a safe space where you could just be yourself without judgment or fear.
Now everything feels filtered and stiff, like you can’t really talk about what’s on your mind without hitting some invisible wall. It’s frustrating, especially for those of us who just want a space to unpack our thoughts in a mature way. As long as no one’s crossing lines or doing anything harmful, there should be an option for adults to choose how open they want their experience to be. There needs to be some trust in the people using the platform—because right now, it feels like that trust is gone.
