If you live a basically lonely, sedentary life, if you don't get the affection that you require, if no one sees your qualities, if your ideas seem dumb to others, if you don't get any feedback either negative or possitive from the people in your life... and you find yourself on Psych Central more than anywhere else, are you ADDICTED to the website or the people??

Isn't it safer to sit and pound away at your keyboard rather than to keep company with a neighbor that has done time for murder, no matter how kind he is to you, how affectionate, how helpful, how careful he is to not get into an anger situation, even if he behaves like the brother you always wished you had and is currently involved with another neighbor that had the hots for your hubby until this neighbor started giving her what she wants??

Do you stay safe, behind your monitor, pounding away at your keyboard... or do you go with your need for human contact?? Do you stay safe and not tread on what could be dangerous ground given the sexual abuse in your childhood that made you promiscuous until you were either married or gained enough weight to keep you safe in your cocoon?

Do you trust yourself to holler "STOP!" -- to either your heart, or the neighbor -- or do you choose the dangerous road, given the fact that the man you call your husband, who is cold and distant, lives with you?
