People like you are rare. You are still grateful, attentive and committed to Steemit and it would be good if others felt the same. You mentioned a very important thing and that is how you use the platform for your mental health and a way to stay in touch with friends and the world outside.
I do find it sad that in the real word it's hard to make friends since there are so many people and most of them complain that real friends are hard to find. So if that is the case how come no one finds someone they can share their lives and struggles with? It's something I don't understand and all I can think of is that we people are very picky if it comes to whom we like to befriended with. I am not so sure if it's about looks or money or perhaps both and envy takes the overhand. It's hard to deal with people like that. A plus with friendships online is that one can ask and decide what to say, what not or simple switch the device off if not in the mood this for sure and keeping it as a hobby and safeline helps against a burnout. It's sad that social media, something that should be fun gives so many, if not nearly everyone an uncomfortable feeling and burnouts seem to be more normal than rare.
Thanks for sharing and keep sharing your positive experience and sweet words addressed to me and wanting to be my friend.
Now I appreciate it and will always try to answer you.
I wish you a relaxed day.
