I come here because I feel like, the more I come and read about what other people are going through, the more I understand other people and the more likely I am going to be people-smart and be able to help them in a more effective manner.

I come here because people here are kind and not judgemental (which is so so so so so common on other so-called "support" forums).

I come here because it coincides with my studies in school.

I come here because it has a good firm psychological basis behind it that many support forums lack. You'll go in there and they'll have a bunch of people that do not have psychological backgrounds running the show and oftentimes, that can be detrimental. So because DocJohn founded this and psychology is his field, I believe it has made PC a much better place than other support forums online.

I come here because it is not only a forum, it also has chat, articles, blogs, quizzes. It's not limited to just the forum platform, which adds depth to it and because of the articles, more validity. Also the blogs add validity too based on who is writing them and their background/qualifications. The quizzes are based on psychological principals, they havent been thrown together by an amateur.
