I understand completely - when I first started - I was the same.

I could write anonymously (i was anonymous back then) and use this space almost as a journal. I'm more easily identified these days hahaha and i SEEM like a very public boisterous social person. but in reality- I'm a classic introvert. LOL

well - technically they call introverts that can PRETEND to be super social and hide their introvertedness well - as ambiverts. (see.. another label LOL)

but - long story short - yes. i get you. hehehe

i think as you become more known - it can become either easier... or harder... to share some of the more vulnerable things.

but when you have that safe feeling - and people that are just... yeah. its nice :)

it takes time - but when you find them, its really worth it.

and something you said just hit me... our community was considering a collab with another community called @freecompliments. cuz we felt that it was a really nice fit. they do the same thing as what you're saying. and they are kindred spirits - because its what we say (and i say) also.

there are too many hurting people out there. we can all be kind and genuinely love.

if you recall - it was THAT comment you made on Pen's post... that first made me circle back to your own blog and get to know you more. because you encouraged him to keep smiling to make someone's day - because we just never know.

i am a firm believer that kindred spirits find each other.

anyway - if we end up doing that collab - i'll be sure to ping you - maybe its a fun thing you join! heheh but at the very least - check out their community! you might find some more of your tribe there! hehehe dreemers always love to connect people to where they find their home. and sometimes its with us! hehehe and sometimes we are only the conduit. either way is good for us!
