I feel sad that this community may not be a place for lots of folks, including me sometimes, to talk about our inner experience. I have looked for connection here, and found it sometimes, and idealistically (my bad!) I wish that others felt more supported here, if that's what they want.
I don't think I have any judgment about the way anybody else uses the forum, though. I'm OK that it's my idealism and others may not share that. If that comes off as judgmental, then thank you for telling me that, because that definitely is not something that I want.

Ok, thanks for clarification. When you say you feel sad that this community
may not be a place for lot of folks to talk about their inner experiences that sounds different from when you say that you feel sad when people don't feel comfortable talking about their experiences with no clarification. That doesn't sound like a judgment.
And, yeah, I am, probably, a bit more cynical (or realistic?) in my perceptions of public forums in general and this one in particular. But again, I am fine with those perceptions and also with the fact that others may not share them
