In an age where digital interaction is often criticized for being shallow or detached, how have online forums and communities like this one become pivotal in providing genuine support and facilitating healing? Can virtual empathy substitute for the warmth of a physical presence?

WTF!!!
I would much rather have a digital hug and support from here than with a person who doesn’t really know me on my worst days. I personally feel I have the beauty of having the wonderful people on this forum in every room, at anytime anywhere in the world at my fingertips. The best part of the GENUINE people on this forum is they just don’t reside in my pocket. It’s a connection that’s beyond that.
There is absolutely nothing shallow or disconnected about it, that comes from the person who makes such a statement and reflection on themselves.
