I've become less active recently. For me it is a combination of things. The sale of Psych Central to a corporate entity is a factor since it's unclear to me where anything I post may be going or what it might end up being used for in the future. (Granted I tend to be a bit paranoid.)
My age, as well as my assigned gender at birth, are also factors. I don't think most members here are really much interested in what's going on with a little old man (and I use the term loosely.) I also find there is little, if any, interest in the particular concerns that are of interest to me personally. And I've never felt as though I really fit in here on PC anyway. Plus, I don't really know that much about psychology & the various mental health diagnoses.
So for all of those reasons, in combination, I've become less active recently & expect to remain so. I would probably go to another forum website if I could find one that suited me better. But, so far at least, that hasn't occurred.
