I truly believe that my image here on PC is quite distorted as compared with real, three-dimensional life. Here, I think we get to the point much more quickly than is done in real life, forced to do so by the entirely written nature of communication here.

I surmise that who you are here is who you really are...and that the you IRL is the one who shows the suffering, even perhaps unconsciously, as you beg or wish for social interaction that will make you feel better?

I have only a very few regrets....but they are genuine regrets, to me, and not just things I wish had happened differently, or not at all.(My whole life is of those!) For example, one regret I have is not buying into TANDY at 25 cents a share...when a friend of a friend started the company. (It was a group of leather tanners I bought craft leather from who made this offer. I laughed at them.) Now that's a real regret. I have 2 other similar ones.

I consider them "real" regrets because of the situations being truly choices... making what I thought was a rational decision...that of course would have fared me well if I hadn't chosen the way I did.
