Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This applies to so much. It's almost always people who have never experienced anything truly hard, no matter if it's the same category, who do the "omg, that's so me" thing. Experience of that leads to empathy, sympathy and understanding that someone else's struggles with something that has never been hard for you can be the main thing that makes their lives difficult.
That's not an exclusive thing, of course, some people understand that even though they have never had issues on the same level, and some people have had stuff that's affected them and their lives more bit still don't get that. But my experience is that those are outlier more than the norm.
