Godsgift: I actually left the site for nearly 2 years for that reason. It was getting a bit disheartening reading the same old stuff, over and over again and watching the personalities come and go. Although I was surrounded by friends, I was feeling a bit left behind.
To be honest though, I was too dependant on the site for hunan contact that I should have been getting outside. You mention changing and learning which I would call growth. Maybe it's time to take that wisdom and strike out anew at the world. It was certainly true in my case.
I don't know about the stigma thing but nowadays, I don't jump at every chance to post in here just to be part of the virtual crowd. If a post interests me, like this one, I'll put in my tuppence worth otherwise I just drop in and out from time to time.
An you know that was worth every penny reading that!
