Hi Sannah, I feel it from other site. I am Czech living in the UK, I feel that people here are not able to be open, to have close friends. It is difficult for me because I am not married and I do not have children. Here is a lot of pretending given by rules. How are you? is not question. Sorry, it is not feeling. Thank you very much, without feeling of thankfulness.
Yes it is difficult to be open to others, it could be after all a conflict. But maybe we are therefore here. Here is safety environment where we learn to open.
I hope it is not too much "indoctrinate" (I am not sure about English word "indoctrinate", it could be word "edify"). I saw that you read my memories and I looked for your threads.I thank you for your thanks at my posts.
Take care
Mediator
