>>717905013Loneliness, and this being the place I interact most with others (ie browse it a few hours a day for many years, don't use other forums/social media) means I kinda associate most with the people who also browse this site a lot. So, they're very easy to talk/relate to, and I can't really find anybody irl exactly like that.
But, as you said, this place wasn't meant to find others (it's designed for anonymity) and most reasonable anons stray away from that. Which is why those I interact with ignore that, so come with their own cocktail of issues, and I idiotically don't cut them off immediately just make my life worse. Yet, I keep using this site.
