I would use my logic to get around those feelings; how can you feel whether someone you cannot see/experience in real time wants to read? Both are interior for each person and you can't sense someone through the computer anymore than you can order pizza to come through the screen in real time

Because what happens here online is in each of our heads, I remember that and write what I write for myself primarily, and only secondly as a response to you (in this case). I also remember that right now, I am reading what you have written and responding to you only. One cannot talk to or respond to "people" or groups or even more than one person at a time. I try to remember that and make sure I am specific in letting people know to whom I am talking; I try to respond to the original poster (you, here) only and/or make it very clear when I am responding to someone else by using their screen name or quoting them, etc. I also pretty much try to ignore others who respond to my response in someone else's post; that's why I find therapy so valuable; it's just the therapist and the client and a large part of the therapist's job is keeping the attention on the client.
