Making it safe to express feelings on here

That’s actually how these posts evolve into something useful, though! Otherwise they would be dry questions and answers or advice, and to be quite frank, I don’t think people come here for that. I came here to hear different people's experiences after I realised I fell clearly into one category. I’m not a fan of that category, but I have to start from somewhere if I am to have progress. I was truly horrified when I read people’s experiences of people like me.

I think being here is diminished when we retract to only defending our corners. There is real richness in the candour of experiences shared on this forum.
