Sense of humor, kindness towards others/willing to help a neighbor, respect for everyone and smiles are attractive to me as potential friends - someone I would like to know.

I feel safe. Unjudged. Like people here understand my crazy, and embrace it even, and they make me feel valued. I feel comfortable. I love that we can be ourselves, not just an online persona or our public best behavior self but we can get to the deep gooey roadburned center of ourselves here and find support. I love that about here. On facebook I have to be careful not to show just how crazy I am. I have to make sure I'm not being too negative today, lest my mother call and demand I get back into therapy again. I don't have to worry here. This site is like coming home to your quiet apartment, throwing off the bra and pants and diving into a bucket of ice cream and watching your guilty pleasure movie after a particularly hectic day. I love it.

I think you are on to something...I find that to be true as well!
