What type of help are you looking for here ?

What does everybody want to find on this website ?

The Internet has never been a good source of genuine help. It's often been too concerned with post count and entertainment to properly listen, let alone engage. The only real help I got came from close friends/family/professionals who spent time with me when there were no numbers ticking upwards and stayed there even when it wasn't fun or interesting.

I pass time and occasionally vent.

I come here to (try to) help others, and to interact with my online friends.

 

[Flanscho]

I come here to share my experiences, from how I turned from being a guy without friends, strong social phobia, chronic depression and about to fail at university, to someone with a circle of strong friends, severely weakened to at times non-existent social phobia and depression, and a decent job.

Or sometimes when I feel crappy I will just share that.

I came here to find a girlfriend. Ladies...?

Yeah, basically this. I've "met" some incredible people here.

Came here because I got tired of talking to myself.

You nailed it for me too! I used to talk to myself everyday when I realize it's just so frustrating not having anybody to bounce ideas off of, also getting no feedback for my thoughts. It's great that I venture upon SPW. I use it to "socialize", share ideas, and also get ideas from others.

I would hope to find people to help cheer me up. Have been feeling very blue lately. Maybe I can reciprocate that as well

I chose to not feel alone. When I've had a particularly difficult day, sometimes it's comforting to know that I am not the only one who faces the type of difficulties I have to go through.

when I first came here I thought that this was going to be a good place for me to practice my social skills and find out what area I was wrong at and where I need to make a change at. I guess I was after confidents at first But now this is just a place I go to when I am feeling lonely.

I thought I was a hopeless freak until I found this site.
Coming here is the only place where I don't feel like a freak.

 

[Nanita]

I´m here to get support and give support. And to feel less alone. And to see or understand how other people are dealing with issues similar to mine.

 

[Ithior]

There's this other board I visit often, in which I discuss about my hobbies with other people who are very much like me, both physically and mentally. Only discussion on those hobbies is allowed though, so I come here to "blog". Basically, this is a place where I can feel like I'm talking to other people about my life, while also being understood.

I also like the idea of helping other people develop and grow, but I'm not very good at that.

 

[Kiwong]

This is a place where I feel I can express things about my anxiety, where it is too painful to do elsewhere.

The same for me. This forum is one of the few places I don't feel that I'm weird and I don't feel alone. Despite not posting much, I read other people's posts and I can find many answers that help me to understand my daily situations, because I can definitely relate to many posts in this forum.

I still feel like a freak. Even here. I don't know what help I am looking for here. Maybe I am just looking for people that I can somewhat relate with.
