How can you know if it's hurting people, though. You can't say that the support they recieve is more harmful than being without it. It's a bit of a 'Walk a mile in someone elses shoes' thing.

Personally I find the whole 'Christianity cures alcoholism' thing to be... risky, but I'm not an alcoholic, and I don't feel good about organized religion in general, so it's simply not my place to decide if it is as harmful as it seems to me, it's got to be down to the individual.

I take all your points, though, but there's really no hard and fast rules on how to be happy and healthy so I just feel iffy seeing people being jerks to somone just trying to find their place, you know?

well, to me, I know it is hurting people cause I've seen it hurt people. I've seen a couple of people fall in with groups like these and just get worse. The one that always stands out in my mind was this girl who, yeah had some anxiety issues, but at a managable level who fell in with a group like this and she just... became nothing but anxieties and bad habits all from just being coddled and made incapable. And she is not an unique story. Kinda... when you see all the people who fall in with these kinda groups just get worse, at some point you just draw your conclusions.

(I do online roleplaying which is a hobby that draws in a lot of people with anxieties because, you know, gives a bit of an escape. It is certainly part of the reason I have started. That's how I've run into a bunch of people like this)

And I've seen it help people. We aren't all wired the same, and yeah, some people will use groups like these to hide from the broader world, and their issues will just get worse. But for every one of them, there's someone (at least one) who is finding a place for themselves, learning who they really are, and finally, often times for the first time, feeling secure enough to talk about who they are. My experience is that more often than not, when they become secure in one area they venture out into other less safe areas of their life. Sometimes it's a long slow process and involves a lot of running back to safety because the world is a scary place, but eventually they get there. I'm really really tired, so apologies if none of that made sense.
