Forums Can Be Very Therapeutic

Hello People.

I was thinking about different forums for almost any topic,and I've come to realize something.

I think the forums can be very therapeutic.There are so many lonely people in the world these days that don't really have any friends to speak of,or people who are very private when it comes to their view of the world.I believe that forums serve as an outlet to discuss various topics,learn a multitude of positive or negative aspects of everyday life with a degree of anonymity.

I'm interested to hear your opinions.

God Bless,
MR.KAZ
 
I agree for the most part. I'm not sure I agree that it is a cure for loneliness, as forum interactions pale in comparison to real world interaction with other people. And the internet really isn't as "anonymous" as most people think. Ever googled your own name before? You may be surprised to find out just how much "the internet" knows about you.

I think the value of a forum is that it brings people together based on similar interests. We all found this forum because we liked playing video games and talking about video games and that's exactly what other people at this forum do. This occurs in real life as well, but its a longer and harder process. Additionally, people in real life come and go as they get different jobs, meet other people, move around, and so forth. But an internet forum can be participated in from wherever and whenever, so long as one has access to an internet connection. So its a lot more stable in that regard, which lends itself to many advantages.
 
Amen to that. Nothing relaxes me more than some posting and forum time :) (Besides dreaming about mountains made out of Cheddar Cheese)

Right on! Except, change those mountains to pepperjack cheese for me :D
 
I would agree, in recent times this forum has become a place that I now like to come visit, I think its been my third time returning, lol. But anyway you all are so skilled, experienced, and know lots about the world.

Probably one of the key components in my extremely limited offline social network -_-
 
yes i agree with this, plus as i have stated thousands of times before this forum helped me with my otherwise horrible english XD (ever checked my first posts?)
