I was thinking about what WePow said about having PC as a place to be loved (sorry I don't remember exactly, WePow). I think this forum means as much to me as my T means to me because I don't share as much with anyone in RL as I do here. I get the same kind of compassion as I get from T. No one in RL responds the way PCers do to me.

I think it's because we skip the superficiality and get right to the nitty-gritty. We don't even know much about another person like where they live, their family, where they work, how old they are, what nationality they are, etc. It doesn't matter!! All the things that matter in RL don't matter here. It's that way in therapy with our Ts, and here too, but not anywhere else.

It would be really nice if people could be like that in RL too. Give hugs and love whenever asked and whenever needed. To respond when someone is hurting. To give with no strings attached. Ts and PCers do that.
