Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I completely agree with you.
I was a mod on an advice sub (that I recreated over here), and people would message modmail after posting and say "why is no one commenting on my post". Like, you aren't entitled to free advice, you're asking for it. But people would get legitimately angry whenever they wouldn't get any advice, or if the advice they got wasn't what they were looking for.
The thing that made me the most angry were the people who would delete their post after getting advice. Like people wrote comments for everyone to read, not just for you, and then you go and defacto make those comments private?
I fully believe that audience of people does not understand that they aren't the center of the universe and that there are actual people on the other end of comments...
I mean sometimes you won't want your main account be be associated with some of the questions but that should be what a burner or alter account is for. I imagine if some people are lazy enough to not create a new account they are probably asking already widely documented and answered questions.
