>>14444003that is true, i feel many here including myself have gone through shut in phases or lived a life where they basically only existed not lived and then came here and got to feel a sense of community. i'm sure without places like this or other means of communicating with others many would probably not be here still or be well if they were. we are social people whether we like it or not
>>14444021it may just be the times we live in but most people go through bad relationships. life isn't like the movies where you meet your high school sweetheart and marry them and take the whole until death do us part thing seriously. it takes time and searching but i'm sure the person that makes sense and brings out your own instincts exists. look at how many fathers out there think thought that before they had a child that they would be awful parents but once they held their baby in their arms they felt a need and instinct to take care of it and raise it to live a good life. not all are like that but those are the outliers i would imagine
