Is this a safe space for intelligent conversation?

awwww

don't go!

you guys got me thinking about what am I clinging to here...

I'd like to have a forum where people make meaningful connections.

I want to interact with considerate, authentic, conscious human beings.

I'd like the forum to be littered with evidence of a thriving, vibrant community.

That's not true, I feel connected to you. Very connected. As a matter of fact... every time I think of you I get this weird fluttery feeling in my chest. I think I love you.

I cling to the possibility of meaningful connections too, which is why I came back. I think a lot of us have a tendency to forget that even though this is an INFJ-geared forum, we are not going to connect with every other INFJ that signs up here.

It honestly used to bother me very much, as isolation is not always desirable. I seek to be fulfilled by my interactions with people. It's who I am. But then I'm getting to the point where I know I have to be honest with myself about who I can actually interact with on a healthy level. The fact is (for me), there are few. It's not going to change because I am online and far more communicative than I am face-to-face. I display far more of my inner thought and idiosyncrasies than I do offline. Because of this, I've learned to expect more social challenge online, which for me means being more careful about who I choose to talk to and reveal myself to.

I do like that I have a couple people I can kick it with here, and that means so much to me. I'd rather that than tons of insincerity from several folks I assumed I could be honest with.

But that's just my way of dealing with it. It's important to remain conscious of differences. I think this is possibly where a lot of the disconnect is.
