I joined here around 5 months ago.
Since that time it's come to mean different things to me.
I think sharing experiences is invaluable but equally invaluable is the honesty I find here.
It's a place where we can talk about shared experience /our emotions/difficulties in a way that's impossible in the 'real' world - or at least if we speak about it there, it's unlikely to be understood.
It's a place to connect in a world where we often find connecting difficult.
I've received some PMs recently that have made me focus more on how very important this community can be to us as individuals.
Luna RIP called this her 'forum family'.
As a person who doesn't seek friendship (?or thinks she doesn't?), some surprising and valuable friendships have evolved from here for me.
How about you?
I think you meant "It's likely to be understood or It's unlikely to be misunderstood " but I got your drift and echo your point.
I have a big issue connecting with people. This disappears on this forum where I can relax enough to express myself. Small talk evades me. I can only verbalise on my own knowledge base, and if engaged with a talkative person who seems to know what they are talking about---I much prefer to listen.

Nope.
The 'there' in my sentence appertains to 'the real world'.
