--- Quote from: Jimor on 01 Oct 2021, 22:24 ---As a streamer, that kind of forcing others to be your therapist is something I see way too often. Fortunately, not often in my own stream, but setting that boundary is something a lot of my friends and I have had to be very careful about. A quick vent about a bad day is fine, but too many people take advantage of the live nature of the medium to dump far too much personal information into chat and expect everybody to stop the flow and deal with it.
And in at least one case I know of, a streamer did the opposite of Faye and tried turning his stream into a giant open unqualified therapy session, causing all kinds of unknown damage and backlash. Fortunately that didn't last long, but he quit doing it blaming "cancel culture" rather than understanding what a bad idea it was.

Don’t mention the pandemic: Why hairdressers want you to avoid COVID talk in the chair

--- Quote ---Deborah Bradshaw, owner of Hair Angel in Balmain, has even launched a campaign, Keep your mane sane, to encourage “a COVID conversation-free environment in the salon”.
“We are not trained therapists and the unintentional unload of their stresses, whether it may be a marriage breakup, work challenges or health concerns, can have a huge impact on the hairdresser,” she said.

Yeah, I work retail. A few times I've had LONG conversations with folks who just needed to vent to someone....
hedgie:
Everyone knows that’s what bartenders are for. Although, therapy is generally healthier and quite a bit cheaper.
