Why This Works

Fact or Fiction content taps into human curiosity and the natural urge to test our own knowledge. By presenting statements that challenge widely held beliefs or common relationship myths, you invite members to reflect, guess, and discuss. This approach helps people feel more invested because they want to see if they are right or learn something new.

Interactive formats like this foster connection and conversation, breaking down barriers even for quieter members. Fact or Fiction also creates a safe space to debunk misconceptions, educate gently, and prompt deeper understanding of relationship dynamics. The anticipation of the answer keeps participation high and encourages follow-up discussion, which leads to a more active and informed community.

This approach encourages thoughtful discussion and helps community members better understand complex attachment dynamics.

What are best practices for addressing sensitive topics like infidelity or trauma in Fact or Fiction posts without triggering members?

When tackling sensitive topics, frame statements carefully and provide content warnings where appropriate.
