Subs that help with crippling loneliness.

[EvolvingPhoenix]

The need for approval was more of a recent occurrence.  I did not go into any details, but definitely the connection part was what made me feel lonely and sad.  My SO is on USLM, and that sub has definitely been helpful in bringing back our connection again. It's on many levels, mainly emotional and intellectual, it's probably where it has manifested more. I feel connected to many people now.  I even felt a connection when I read your post.  If I happen to develop new friendships, I'll welcome them, if not then that void is not there anymore.  

I wish you well.

Wow, that's a really good outlook to have! Thanks Infinite. And I wish you well too.
