that's one study [In reply to] Can't Post

there's another that showed that people release oxytocin - the hormone that makes us feel connected and trusting - while "chatting" on line with those they care about, just as they would if interacting with those people in real life. Connection is connection.

And as I've noticed many times on this very forum, whatever issues a person has are going to come up in interactions with others, no matter how those interactions take place. Blaming the medium doesn't solve the problem. Expecting others not to accidentally push my personal buttons hasn't worked very well for me either. There's one aspect of my life in which I envy others who have had better luck, but I'm well aware that that is MY problem to solve and that I can't expect them not to be happy (or pretend they aren't) so I won't be reminded of my own failures in that regard. So instead, I pay attention to what they say as possible guidance for how I might do better.
