My feelings of sadness are my feelings. It's not about whether you, or anyone else, needs them or not.

I feel sad that this community may not be a place for lots of folks, including me sometimes, to talk about our inner experience. I have looked for connection here, and found it sometimes, and idealistically (my bad!) I wish that others felt more supported here, if that's what they want.

I don't think I have any judgment about the way anybody else uses the forum, though. I'm OK that it's my idealism and others may not share that. If that comes off as judgmental, then thank you for telling me that, because that definitely is not something that I want.
