Is SW like your secret club to go to from the outside world?
The world is a small and large place at the same time. In your smaller world you can be surrounded by people who know you well, but can't possibly hear every word you have inside. This might not be intentional, it can simply be that you speak a different language and they just don't connect with you on the same level, you need to seek out other conversations from time to time.
Some might think social sites are a huge waste of time, a sign our world is becoming one continuous loop of social media, one more way of distancing ourselves. But I like SW and even if what I post isn't that interesting to some at least I can express myself and share something. What about you?

Years ago, when I was about 20, a friend of mine came up with what he called "The Gang Of 300 Theory". On the surface it's nuts - there's actually only 300 people in the world and the rest are numerous variations of those - but how many of us haven't met somebody who reminds us of another person in our past? The danger being that we then attribute that new person with other traits.... The friend who said it is somebody I met in primary school when we six, and although we've lived on different continents for nearly 45 years we are still mates.
@ArtieKat I had this idea long ago and part of me still thinks that, we are in a room with another 10 people and all our life is the same 10m just changing roles and appearances.
