you don't need to improve posts on this specific subject, you just need to stop posting lmao. you genuinely shouldn't have posted here (deanon) in the first place.
anyway here's a text wall for u
gonna echo the other nonnie: "as said before, you can just delete things before you send them, and it's a real therapy practice." here's my suggestion: i mostly use a private journal app, but i also have a priv twitter that basically no one follows, and i just fucking yap on there. i yap and yap and yap and sometimes a buddy silently likes my posts but usually no one does, and that's fine. it feels like i told someone because "maybe someone saw it." sometime later i revisit my yapping and realize i just don't feel that strongly anymore, and no, it doesn't really need to be heard by someone else, i just needed to hear it myself by writing it out.
now as you said, you came here to vent. that's fine when you're anon, but you de-anon'd while part of active drama and tbqh you probably got dunked on extra BECAUSE of that. you literally fed the trolls (us). this is not your private journal, it's a bunch of bored fucks like me eating popcorn while watching the dogpile and sometimes throwing tomatoes. this all shoulda been kept in your journal (but thanks for sharing, this was fun for me!)
anyway, for making shit shorter: try bullet point summaries perhaps. write all your feels, then summarize the whole paragraph in a single sentence bullet point. in doing so, see if you have repetitive paragraphs (you do). also see if you can just use the single sentence summary instead of the entire paragraph (you can). your whole story about your gambling addict friend could be summarized by "my friend got addicted to gambling in a gacha game and i felt responsible because i ok'd them spending money" but you wrote a whole paragraph and gave way more detail than needed. this isn't school, you don't need to write an actual essay. just give us the bullet points. type like a fucking robot, no fucking verbosity allowed.
u could look into tips for brevity in writing, but imo first what you need is to decide what SUBJECTS need to be shared. i tried to edit your reply to your first deanon post and struggled, mainly because i kept asking "why does this even need to be shared?" it didn't. you didn't need to reply to so many things because you didn't need to share so much in the first place. the internet does not generally deserve or need context, or need it in such detail. i get the 'tism habit of oversharing but u gotta learn to reign that in based on context, and in this context oversharing is actually bad, specifically when deanon and part of the drama.
but hey, for fun, here's my edit of your first deanon post:
"Hey, StrawberryAlex here.
Firstly, want to clear up that a lot of my reactions were due to a mix of lack of sleep, stress from the auction, and honestly Toxxitone pissing me off with their behavior and making my blood boil the instant they called poorer people "lesser".
Secondly, I don't actually mind how others spend money on this game. A lot of what I said was very much being angry in the moment.
I backed out because I don't want to be the one enabling this person to make these financial decisions or validating that it's what they need to do to get anything they desire. The auction format of 100x777 very much did that in my eyes after I found out.
For a bit of context, I watched something similar happen to a former friend of mine over a gacha game. So I no longer play such games, and I no longer try to encourage anyone to spend large amounts of money on any game."
