Kyoshi Emotional Support Thread

[Kai-rouken 146]

Poor Kyoshi-kun needs some emotional support, methinks  

^This is merely one of hundreds (if not thousands) of examples I could provide. The dude is emotionally distraught like 60% of the time he posts here. And this is behaviour I noticed from him all the way back in 2016 >.>

Kyoshi is a veteren of these fine forums since 2012, and apparently he used to be a staff member too. I think it's about time for some level of intervention, no? Has Kyoshi been like this since 2012 for those of you who have frequented this site back then? Anyways, we cannot allow Kyoshi-kun to continue going on like this! It is a travesty~

 

I personally think Kyoshi needs a waifu to brighten up his laifu /)^3^(\ At least that could be a start.

Spoiler

Also, sorry for posting this thread in the General section, I really wasn't certain as to where a thread like this belongs so I gave it my best guess.

Well, @Kyoshi, You should get one of those cat posters that say “Hang in there!” Other than that, I dunno

I think the best thing he can do is cleaning his past and move on. It is not easy, but he needs to do that. Also friends and family supporting him are important.

Please, try to forgive and forget, for your own good. You will feel better, I promise.

I'll assume you were going into this with good intentions, but it seems a little messed up to take stuff off his personal feed and post it in the general as a thread. Did he give you his consent?

It was a status update. That's actually how I found it myself, was just scrolling down the page and I saw it, so I clicked and commented. 

In all honesty, do you really expect Kyoshi to approve me making a thread like this? Obviously he would be very embarrassed to offer consent to such a request. I've known Kyoshi a good few months (in other words, before creating this account), I don't claim to be good friends with him or anything, maybe amiable acquaintances at best. But it is clear as day that the dude needs some help, and it doesn't seem like anyone is providing him with that help. Perhaps my attempts to assist are in vain (I do not know specifically what is wrong with Kyoshi or what he has been through in his life), but I figured it's best to at least put in an earnest effort to alleviate some of his inner turmoil if at all possible.

Making this thread without asking consent because you think he would decline isn't a very good reason. I respect you for making a sincere attempt to help someone out but this isn't the best way to go about it. Speaking with him directly or with his friends would probably be a better approach

^Possibly, but this is an option that has already been explored... perhaps not in totality. But from the questions he has pm'd me with, I could deduct that he has probably proposed similar inquiries to his close friends and it very evidently is not working out very well.

Kyoshi seems to have major self-esteem issues and needs constant positive reinforcement that he is not a bad/ worthless person. I think this is a pretty stupid way to act, but I will not let my prejudice towards such a mentality prevent me from trying to make things better for him. Strangely, on many many occasions, it seems to make no difference if people give him that positive reinforcement, perhaps he believes this site is merely a hugbox wherein anyone will provide sympathy regardless of context, therefore he considers it "fake" or something? Idk, I am not in his mind lol.

Whilst I appreciate your concern towards Kyoshi, this is not a matter to be discussed openly in General Discussion. We have stressed in the past that members should not be providing unsolicited medical advice due to the potential complications it may cause, and while providing emotional support in your own time is perfectly fine, creating a thread like this without first even seeking consent from Kyoshi himself is being very unfair to his personal privacy.

I respect your intentions, but I would highly suggest taking the suggestions above and either first discussing this with him directly, or speak to those who are closer to him and more aware of the situation.

Locked.
