I understand what you mean. I know that I do that a lot here on PC b/c I'm new & can't get over that I'm not alone with many of my issues (which is why this site has been helpful to me). I don't really have that problem irl b/c I'm so isolated & therefore can't relate to most people & don't have similar life experiences.
That isn't really what I'm referring to.
