    Oh, no, I wouldn’t ask you to delete anything. I just know that forms of catharsis can look strange to those who don’t experience the same feeling.

    Like when someone finds that screaming out to heavy metal songs takes their stress away, while another person hears it and thinks, “How could they listen to something that makes them angry?” The trick is, the music doesn’t “make them angry” at all. Rather, it provides a release to emotional tension that would otherwise still linger around inside a person, leading them to feel calmer in the end.

    Posts like this provide a similar role, and that’s all I meant to convey.

      Looking around, guess it’s easy to misinterpret words and meanings then.
