I think a part of the anonymity helps me. I recoil from true connection to other people. Maybe out of fear?

Not to say the compassion I feel for others is faked, but it helps to be able to put a little socially acceptable distance in the form of a web forum when talking.

That being said, there are some people that I feel the faintest hint of an actual connection with on here. Either because of reading a lot of their posts or finding a common thread in our struggles. You're one of them Fuzzy, jsyk. <3
