  Finally. You know how hard it is to find a private place to cry? In the men’s bathroom, there’s like two other sobbers. Then at the park, I gotta compete with the crying homeless people. Coffee shop? No good. Workers are crying.

  This is a needed service.

    Normally people sob in the quiet of their own home, but most people can’t afford homes, so they rent, and most people can’t afford to rent without roommates, so now you have 4 roommates sobbing and its not quiet. I tell ya, back in my day…

    We may be holding President Elect’s beer when civil war breaks out and Trump wants to turn NYC into a 300 square mile parking lot.

    OK, obviously this is just…fucked.

    That being said though. I live in an apartment complex and am shy / do not want to bother people.

    I can’t count the number of times I’ve been crying / sobbing but held myself back from full on screaming into the void to relieve my soul.

    Mayyyyybe this would help? Still fucked though.

      (Actually, the only time I’ve been able to fully let go and scream while crying as an adult was when just so happening to be next to a torrendous river. I could not possibly scream loud enough to be heard by anyone. It is so freeing to just scream everything off your soul. 10/10 would recommend. Sorry for kinda off-topic.)

      That’s kinda the problem though. If you live somewhere so cramped you can’t even find a private space to cry

  Another $20 I have to spend to cope, since… its inappropriate to sob with a friend?

  I thought it was a bunch of S-O-B’s for a minute. Completely different vibe.

    SOBs need a good sob now and again, would probably make them less SOBy
