Greetings to you, ma. It is nice to have you around with your thought provoking words, as always.

Perhaps what you are missing is not the connection to Hive, but the feeling of being connected to your real life?

I didn’t get what exactly you mean when you say missing the feeling of being connected to my real life.
Mmmmmm. I think I need to contemplate how far it is true. May be to an extent. Only 10% or so. I do feel connected to my real life, but there are certain aspects I feel detached. Things that are like obligations and not really wanted.

Missing the connection on Hive is true (how far I have the reach to my consciousness). The time I spend on Hive feels like the "ME TIME" to me.
It is like I am free to be who I am, or perhaps it is a place which is like a passage of ventilation for me. You know, when your ultimate surroundings are not fulfilling to your needs.........
The truth is that I never looked at me as a woman staying at home, but I am the one for a decade. (I was not courageous enough to break the norms.) Being on Hive gives me a feeling like I am out of the home for a while, being able to connect and interact to the outside world in a constructive manner.
I don't enjoy being on any other social media though. Facebook is literally depressing to me.

However, no one from this crowd will show up at a birth or a funeral of your family, relatives and friends, will they?

I wonder the ones who do come to meet us in real lives, how many of them are really sincere. Some of them are only a reason of creating pressure on us.

Try to establish a deeper contact with online acquaintances and you will find that it is much more difficult than in real life

Lol. I know it is much more difficult.

All can live confidently without reciprocating comments. So that is fine. Why pressuring?

Hehe. The pressure is due to the unwritten rules of the platform 🫠

Also, my comment here basically doesn't have too much meaning since it's coming from a woman you neither know nor are likely to ever meet.

Well, I cannot say this about your comment. It has quite much meaning for me.
I do feel connected to you. Don't ask me the explanation. I don't have any. May be there are some strings of heart. You know, there are some people whom we do not connect for a long time but they stay with us forever. They have a special place in our heart.

If you don't answer someone, maybe it's because you have nothing to say.

Hehe. Then a thanks is still due 😉

could probably name two or three people I met on the blockchain (with the continuation in the private chat room), but then doing it is another thought, isn't it?

It is.
There are a couple of people whom I met online. They belong to entirely different culture, language, timing, but then they are the ones whose presence in my life is a blessing. There is a lady whom I always want to go when I feel down. She literally helped me coming out of my emotional distress and facing the challenges with a new vision. My life changed a lot because of that particular relationship.
Yes, such relationships are rare to obtain in the online life.

I highly appreciate your presence on my post.
God bless you more
