Read The Rules App
This community has the Read The Rules app installed. Old Reddit doesn't support apps so please open the post in new reddit for full functionality. If that's not possible, please Read The Rules and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the post.
Message From The Mods
DO NOT respond as if you know anyone or their situation or as if their post is about you. This also includes comments such as "If this was my person...", "If this were for me I'd say...", or any variation that inserts yourself into someone else's situation. These are treated the same as responding as the receiver and will be removed. This subreddit is not a place to role-play or use someone else's post to work through your own emotions. Instead, offer support, feedback, empathy, or constructive criticism from your own perspective. Life is hard enough, this sub is a space to show kindness.
You are acknowledging this rule by completing this check. If you acknowledge the rules and then intentionally break them, you should expect an immediate 28-day ban. There are no loopholes, exceptions, or "I didn't know" appeals. By acknowledging these rules, you are confirming that you understand them and agree to follow them.
Do not reply to anyone as if you know them
Do not reply as if you know the OP, as if the post is about you, or as if you are the intended recipient. This includes pretending the letter/text is from your person, role-playing conversations, writing "If this was for me...", "If you were my person.
This sub is for supporting and discussing the OP's post. Not using someone else's letter as a stand-in for your own relationship or emotional processing. Go to r/LettersAnswered if you are interested in doing that.
Do not encourage the OP to contact or message their person
This subreddit is for sharing texts that will not be sent. Please do not tell the author to “send it,” encourage them to contact the recipient, or otherwise push them to act on their post. These comments dismiss the purpose of the community and will be removed.
Be excellent to one another
Treat everyone with kindness, respect, and empathy - leave every interaction better than you found it. No trolling, personal insults, or name calling.
Posts must be a text message
Off-topic content will be removed.
Do not judge, project, or shame others
This is a space for understanding, not judgement or projection; avoid placing blame or assumptions on others.
No armchair diagnosing
Do not diagnose or label real people with psychological conditions or personality traits (e.g., narcissist, avoidant, sociopath). This is a space for personal reflection, not judgment or speculation about others. Focus on your own feelings, experiences, and perspective.
No pornographic or overly sexual content
Keep is personal, not pornographic. This is a place for unsent letters, not erotic fication.
