> So what is it that makes someone who they are?? And what makes people like them?? Is it just these qualities like insightful, wise, kind, affectionate, caring - everyone here is like that - so what distinguishes a T?? Really, I don't think I had ever this kind of affectionate, warm, and insightful rapport with my ex T or my current T as I have with babblers here..I think the main difference with a T is that we don't know much about them. And I'd bet my house that Ts who are insightful, wise, kind, affectionate and caring at work can sometimes be thoughtless, imprudent, irritating, distant and inattentive at home.
The great thing about babblers (IMO) is that people here are willing to be themselves, within the constraints of anonymity. And people are willing to accept each other's weaknesses. There aren't many commnuities in real life where it's possible to be both so open and so accepted. I guess that's why I like it here!
