I'm gonna try to put this the best way I can.
People come here to this forum mostly to talk about games. It's a place to relax and have fun. So when I log on here, I'm not in the mood to talk about the death of a user's relatives. You know it's not what people want to see.
That doesn't mean you can't talk about it. We all need to get things off our chest sometimes, and it's clear you have a lot to get off it. I'm sorry about your uncle's passing, and your mom's stroke. It's genuinely saddening that all this is happening to your family, it makes me concerned about what will happen to you. If you're not already, I suggest you seek therapy. Seeing a therapist is not something to be embarrassed about, everyone should do it. No one, and I mean no one, goes their whole life without struggling with mental health.
As for the attention thing from earlier... I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood something you said. It's often difficult to understand what you mean to say because you change topics too fast. When you go from talking to your mom's stroke, to getting attention in Neogaf, to someone's Dreamcast avatar, in the span of a few posts, it's just... It makes it seem like your mom's stroke only matters as much to you as this silly stuff. I know you care more about her and your family, but it feels that way because of how you say it. You can't just drop a family tragedy in the middle of a casual conversation about videogames and continue talking like nothing happened, it makes your feelings impossible to understand.
But it does make me feel like you're struggling with anxiety and depression, so again, please seek therapy, it will do you good. It sounds like you're going through a genuinely tough time in your life, tougher than most of us have had it, but I wish you and your brother the best. It will get better.
