AboutAbout iCare
iCare is a community for people who want to genuinely connect with other users. The idea of this community is that posts are responded to, people are being 'listened to' and that everyone is empathised with.
Participation
When you join the community, the idea is that you too become pro-active and responsive. We don't want this community to end up like so many others where people post, but no one responds. If you feel that it will be difficult for you to interact with other community members, then perhaps just friend the community at first and maybe later on, when you feel you can contribute and interact, join it.
If and when you do first join the community, please introduce yourself so that members know a new person has joined. We would like it if you let us know your real name (makes it more personalised, but no worries if you don't want to share your real name). It would also be appreciated if you put something about what you want from the community in your intro. Thanks!
Track the Community
Very often community posts can get lost in our vast friend lists (depending on how many you have). So in order to make sure that all posts get responded to (hey, that is the whole point of this community), pls click on the 'track' option on the top right hand corner of this page. This way livejournal will notify you whenever a member posts a new entry. (At present, we do not have a high posting rate, so do not worry that you are going to be inundated with emails - we just want the posts that do get posted to be responded to!). Thank you.
Posting
All members can post. And they can post anything. It is encouraged, however, to post entries that you really need/ want feedback on. While it is more likely that people want support for their emotional problems, posts don't just have to be about emotional turmoil and such. If you want feedback on a piece of art you have done, or some advice how to go about applying for a university, that is fine too. But post something that you specifically want feedback on. Not just your random everyday stuff that doesn't necessarily require feedback or empathy.
When posting images please try to keep the width of your image about 550 pixels.
General Guidelines
The key word of this community is empathy. Do not confuse this with sympathy or 'advice giving'. We strongly urge you to respond to entries with empathy and compassion (ie: connecting with and reflecting what is really going on for a person) rather than giving advice (ie: what I think you should do is ...) unless this was specifically asked.
We really hope that we can build a community where deep care and mutual compassionate giving can flourish.
