This is about as much “social contact” as I have- posting words to anonymous strangers at a site like SP. Every now and then I post to other groups but I’ve given up on them. Why? All the other groups have TONS of ppl- you post and NO ONE remembers your story. It’s just one post. People reply, and then they forget about you. That’s literally ppl’s attention span. From one post to the next. Hell- I wouldn’t be surprised if Gen Beta can’t even hack 280 character long tweets, given our skyrocketing ADD trends. At least SP folks, as few as we have here, sort of know each others stories by now.
I suppose I’m way more broken than I admit to- at least others here talk to real life HUMANS. I’ve given up on real life humans. Bc everyone I meet sucks. And family sucks MOST OF ALL.
Are there some good ppl left in this world? Sure. But none are in my life and when you are broken and poor, you don’t meet “good normal people.”
It’s like if you live in the ghettos, you don’t meet nice well dressed amazing ppl with bright futures walking around in your neighborhood. You meet, and are surrounded by, shady ass ghetto ppl. It’s like that with our social life as well. When you are broken, poor, depressed, chronically ill- you only meet shitty ppl. Or other ppl who are just as broken and sad and hopeless as you.
Meaning it’s not likely I’ll meet someone “good” or “normal.” Haven’t since I became unemployed and chronically ill. “Normal” people don’t want anything to do with the sick or jobless. The “good” ppl are…well idk where they are. Just nowhere around me apparently.

I agree that this place is special – someone once described it as if being on the edge of the internet.
