Is this a hippy commune, or is it just to show implied understanding and attempted virtual emotional support? I probably sound like I'm being a jerk. Not attempting to be a jerk, just don't understand the want of implied excessive personal and or physical contact.... Yes It's a serious question. I apologize but it's not like I can ask anybody this sort of stuff in person... Did that when I was 6 and have been steadily confused by people since forever.
