Do you consider Fluther to be a source of underlying comfort in your daily life?

1 Answer

Answer :

Is it pathetic if I say yes? Getting second, third, fourth opinions on what to do in a sticky situation, or on whether something is “normal,” is extremely valuable to me. Knowing how intelligent the Fluther community is, it’s so nice to feel like I’m getting informed opinions on these things. Not to mention the fact that jellies are so kind and supportive in difficult times.
