Despite the good intentions, I'm willing to bet these threads cause more harm to people than good. See, the thing is, if someone feels loved and appreciated in their life, then they don't need a reminder. They feel loved and appreciated, and that's reminder enough. But okay, I hear you say, that's not the people this thread is targeting. It's targeting the people who [i]don't[/i] feel that. But here's the thing, if someone doesn't feel loved and appreciated in their life, some stranger on the internet who doesn't know anything about them telling them that they are isn't going to do a thing. If anything, it's going to remind them that they're [i]not[/i] loved and appreciated, and ruin their day, which was already probably feeling pretty glum given the fact that they're not feeling that love & appreciation in the first place. And, this is only heightened by the fact that ultimately your thread is a hollow sentiment. While I'm sure you mean well, the simple truth is you don't know most of the people here, if anyone. It's an easy thing to think "Oh, everyone has someone who loves and appreciates them in their life", but the reality is not everyone does. And, furthermore, even if that person does actually have people who love and appreciate them, if they need a reminder in the first place, then pointing that out isn't going to change anything, because the root of the problem is the people who do love them aren't showing it well enough for it to have a positive impact on that person's life. Or in other words, this thread is nothing but a hollow sentiment making assumptions about people's lives that may or may not be true, and the people who need the message most are the ones who it's most likely not true for, only serving as a reminder to ruin their day.
