Well, I'm only human.

Being authentic doesn't necessarily mean you're being a therapist.
> There are some very vulnerable people here, perhaps without therapists of their own, who may become excessively dependent on you - this isn't in their best interest, because you really can't be a therapist to them
Not being a therapist doesn't necessarily mean people can't depend on you.

More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express yourself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:

Follow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above post, should of course themselves be civil.
