If there were no repercussions nor questions asked, would you want a person of your choice to read your page (friend, lover, therapist)? Personally, I crave the idea of emotional vindication and vulnerability by way of sharing my innermost psyche, but the fear of hospitalization dissuades me. It's not that I necessarily crave validation or pity; I want my suffering to be instantiated through words and understood by others. I think it would explain and legitimize my behavior, not to mention relieve the burdensome dead weight of psychological suppression. There is great value in wearing my heart on my screen, but infrequent, anonymous venting/socialization does not suffice. We, being social creatures, require sufficient human contact to fulfill our psychosocial needs. Online forums unfortunately don't possess the complexity of natural human dynamism to complete the necessary criteria for communal and emotional satisfaction. I am lonesome beyond measure, but the support that I seek doesn't necessarily exist in person: suicidality is an uncomfortable taboo, and peers of my age range simply cannot empathize, envision, or rationalize my experiences enough to relate or offer sympathy. Ultimately, our perspective is hampered by the breadth of our experience, and the lack thereof amongst my friends impairs their ability to comprehend the complexity and depth of otherworldly suffering. What do you think?
Also, it's important to emphasize that finding a real world companion with which one can be candid is not an impossibility. For me specifically, it is simply an improbability. There are fundamental roadblocks and impediments in my personal life that prevent me from bridging this gap with someone face to face.
It is the ultimate catch-22.
