for me, soup, it reinforces the positives in my own growth when i reply to a thread. makes me know i've made progress in my own well being. hopefully my posts/replies help others too.
if i feel i have nothing to offer to help that person i usually reply to acknowledge that person. everyone needs validation no matter who they are.
