I guess many people are here to express something which we could not share with real old friends. I still don’t understand why this is happening. Is it technology took over real emotion or are we afraid of being judged.
Reason:Judged
My case was as such: it was not that I didn’t have anyone else to talk, and there was no need to spend a lot of money for the therapist (of course it’s better to watch the mental health anyway), but I already knew what my friends and family would say and advice. And I simply needed to be listened by someone else and maybe also wanted to hear different opinions.
I don’t think that technology is taking over and I don’t think that we are always so afraid (not always :)). I think it is just a new opportunity.
