I was sitting here reading someone's post when I realized something...something I think is really backwards.

You know how people in real life are supposed to know you better than the people online? Well, that's not true about me. I think you guys know the real me more than the people around me now. More than my boyfriend, more than my friends, more than some of my family, and more than my t's. Why is this? I spill everything to you guys...my heart and soul...I only let the others in only so much. In reality the people I know will not accept me for who I am, do not support me, and refuse to let me be who I really am. Here, I do not have that restriction, that lack of acceptance, that lack of support.

Everytime I say something, someone is always here to listen to me here...online. But in my real life if I say something I am either shamed, ignored, persecuted, or shunned. I can't relate to anyone in real life, but here I pretty much relate to everyone...everyone here relates to me, too, I think.

Does this make sense, or am I just rambling on?

Do you think it is because we disclose more here and those here are in the mood to have someone disclose how they feel?

Yeah, we're in the mood to listen and we are very likely to understand.
