Who here thinks coming on this forum is a waste of time

I think I do

I think I don’t need to come on this forum

I think one needs to go out and do things in real life

Live a life as others do

Yes, maybe it’s not so productive
to stay all day in this forum.
But if you don’t have anything else
to do in real life, then why not?

It’s not a total waste of time. I learn a lot of new things and get a lot of support and great advice from my friends here. And when I’m sad and lonely there’s always someone who reaches out their hand to make me feel better.

You could call almost anything that isn’t productive work a “waste of time”. It’s no more a waste of time than watching tv or movies or playing video games etc.

Good for u

But instead of relying on others for support is it not better to be on ur own and face the world

We aren’t “virtual” friends. We are real people. You make it sound like we are artificial intelligence or something. If you think the forum is a waste of time…why are you here?

I usually come on the forum when I’m feeling low. Generally speaking it lifts my spirits.

I like to do both, I consider this my support group for my sza and that way I don’t burden my friends and family with my illness
