I do not think it has something to do with the ego of person answering. On this topic, at least, these people have listed some of the things that have helped them personally, hoping these guidelines would eventually help someone who would come across this topic. Although there are already plenty of lists on the website itself, we never know who could find these lists helpful.
I agree that we should provide sympathy and understanding to whoever needs it, and to me this is the primary goal of this forum. I only pointed out earlier the fact that in my opinion, too often people come here to talk about relationship issues. And sure it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if Tiny Buddha was mainly a dating website. I initially made an account to talk about spirituality, meditation, and so on, and I understand not everyone comes here for the same reasons. But I kind of feel like heartbreaks have been the one and only topic on this forum lately.
