Hi fixated. I would not use an Internet forum as a guide to how you connect. Real life is a whole lot different. Saying that I made a friend on here. We connect away from here too. That just happened. I guess it takes 2 to want to connect. Meaning perhaps your connecting, but you haven't met anyone that wants to pick up the friendship rope.

I don't really think of this place in that light, this is just somewhere where I can chat about therapy. But if that self defeating chatter is going on in your mind, your actually see things through that prism. Try just thinking about here being a place to understand the therapy experience & not feel friendships have to be formed here.
