If all you want is sympathy or someone to agree with your point of view of a personal situation, then you need to phrase your post in such a manner to elicit only that type of response. If you are asking for opinions and advice, you need to take the good with the bad. Remember, honestly is not always pleasant. Also, I have noticed these type of posts seem to be made in the heat of the moment without a great deal of forethought as to content. If you don't want to hear that you have made a negative impression upon someone or don't want negative commentary on your personal life, then you really should not be opening the door to invite it in.
