They left her hanging and embarrassed.

hello friend , many a times this kind of things happen that people somehow do not want to post any comment or share any sort of experience on the public forum where they feel a bit annoyed and even hesitation on the part that may be some kind of secret or darkness might get revealed. and most of the time people fail to give the deserved value of the discussion to the person who posted it and she/he should not expect people to show her any sort of sympathy or to share their experience with her. but its true that the discussion is rad by many people and may be they have not felt that urge to response to such kind of discussion. many people would shy out in case they feel humiliated in some way or the other. Not everyone call give the value of your pain in life.better not to keep such expectation from others.

Well, we should always share our knowledge and experience with others as long as it does not bring harm to others and yourself. I think there is nothing wrong with the person sharing he experience as she may need advise and someone to share with. If I was the person who encountered such discussion, I would have tried to comfort her and share my own experience. I would respect her decision to share.

Here is the thing, I'm sure a time or two, I have shared something that could have been potentially embarrassing. However, I'm really sure that a lot of people are going to really be more guarded with what they are going to share. There are just times where embarrassing incidents are going to stay right in the deepest darkest points in their mind. Never to be brought up again, never to really be acknowledge ever again. Plus, when you bring up things on the Internet, you leave the door open for some form of ridicule. You can share things from an anonymous point of view. However it is a double edged sword as people can also turn around and ridicule what you say from an equally anonymous point of view. It is like a no win situation, which is why people tread lightly and are reluctant to share.

I don't have any embarrased or humilating experience. You can only be embarrased or humilated if you feel that way. Nobody can make you feel that way. So what did your sister expect? People make up something? I don't know how many people did read that subject, perhaps many are not interested in it at all? Also.. it's proved that if it comes to sharing a personal thing and you reply on it, it means you have a kind of bond, you need to be friends. To many it feels that way and it doesn't matter if you are anonymous or not. If I have something to share I share, I don't have secrets and there are not items I would feel ashamed about to share. If I think it's not of your business I would say that too. More interesting is the question why your sister feels like "they left her hanging". I think this is (again) a personal feeling of her. The fact she shares something in a forum doesn't mean others have to do the same thing or she can force others to do the same. Somehow it seams that is what she expected and that is why she feels "they left her hanging".

I do not have such embarrasing or humiliating experience yet but if I am one of those forum site, maybe I could give advice on how she/or he can get over of that experience that may help her. Atleast he/she can feel that someone understands her/him.[b][/b][i][/i][u][/u]

thats mean she will get a great experiance (not to tell everything on the internet)
