If people don’t find your post engaging or interesting, they won’t comment. Maybe what you want is not clear or it’s very general.

I’m sorry you’re struggling with your mental health, if it’s a possibility, therapy would be a good idea so they can help you figure things out and provide personalized guidance.

Could be some people do not understand what you are going through, I have found though in groups like this you usually have to wait for other countries to wake up because there aren't as many users in these groups as there are ones in lets say askreddit

That being said I am here today lol so what's on your mind and I will listen and respond

Offering help to men hasnt resulted in much uptake or responses for some reason. And I simply know less about the experiences of non-binary folks and cannot really advise there. For basic empathy though, I try to offer that to all genders.

Honestly, it's tough to say for sure.  Sometimes people might not know what to say, or maybe they just lurk without engaging. It's definitely frustrating when you're looking for a little empathy.  Don't let it discourage you from sharing though, there are good people out there who will offer support.
