When these many days are passed without being active on Hive: without writing and reading, I start feeling like an emptiness inside me. It feels like something crucial is missing in life.

Honestly speaking, I also start experiencing anger and frustration when I cannot make my way to Hive.

I find your honesty courageious:)

While it is hard to ignore your direct physical life, it is possible to simply not show up at Hive. Perhaps what you are missing is not the connection to Hive, but the feeling of being connected to your real life?

I know bloggers who publish regularly like automatons. No ifs, no buts. Stoically, purposefully, without interruption. Who know no time off and no holidays, and who even exploit these time off and holidays for publicity.

Unless this is a source of income for you that you can realistically count on, there are no obligations to anyone here. After all, no one has a contract of employment or social contract with each other until this form of contract is negotiated between specific people connected to each other. There is no direct relationship to the "masses", only to specific and selected people, right? However, no one from this crowd will show up at a birth or a funeral of your family, relatives and friends, will they?

To build bonds and lasting relationships, you can select very few online connections to give them meaning, otherwise it is just a superficial collection of confirmers or malcontents. All can live confidently without reciprocating comments. So that is fine. Why pressuring?

Try to establish a deeper contact with online acquaintances and you will find that it is much more difficult than in real life. Not only the physical distance, but also the time and cultural differences will make this difficult. This is not to say that it is not possible.
A friend coming from overseas or across several continents for the birth of someone close (or the funeral) is my example of confidential relationship. Everyone who doesn't know your clear name, address or phone number remains distant people. They can be profitable for business or image, that's true, but you probably don't need to expect more.

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

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. Unless you have enough interest in each other to set such things in motion. The interesting question here is: how far does the interest go? Who would you like to meet in real life, who would you like to visit, who would you like to invite to your home? And meet your family? Who, on the other hand, would dare to do such things and feel comfortable doing so? Because in fact it would be a kind of blind date :)

I 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?

Greetings to you.
