To some of you, you have no idea who I am. I could spin a yarn from here to the moon & you’d never know the difference. But there are others who know who I am. Not in the flesh, but they know. Know my name, address, cell phone number, etc. And I know the same about several people, too. We’ve talked on the phone. I call & have been called.
I think what I like about talking to someone on here is that they LISTEN. And I listen to them. Sometimes RL people just don’t want to be bothered. You can see their eyes glaze over. They jump in with a comment that has nothing to do with what you’re talking about & you think “why bother?” I have spilled my guts to someone on here & I know that I’ll be listened to. No judging or criticizing me. And I’ve listened to this person, too. We trust each other. Besides keeping confidences, even if we DID tell, who would know us? Who would care? It’s safe.
