Do you ever just need someone to talk to?

I believe this is true for most everyone. Some of us are lucky to be able to pull someone out of the hat at any given day or time while others stare at our phone.
Over the years, to cope, I've used a site called novni.com - it allows you to write down your thoughts, anonymously or not. You can ask for feedback or not. I've found it to be healing when I thought there was no one, so I didn't drown in my own thoughts and feelings

Usually when I need someone to talk to no one is around. I've gotten used to tending to my own needs.

Yes. However, I am fortunate to have someone to chat with when needed but there are times when I need someone to talk to but choose not to. Such as tonight. I chose to log on to this site.

Not all ears are equally sympathetic and advice is only as good as the source. I wouldn't ask Mick Jagger to recommend a good film and I wouldn't discuss romance with my sister-in-law.

I know what you mean..
I was wishing I had someone to talk to about some new insurance I'm getting for my home and auto. I have questions!

I prob will ask my neighbor, but I may ask around here too. I need to clarify some things and see if I should get towing included on my auto policy for $5.34 , or just stick w/AAA for towing? I have to dbl chk pricing and miles and stuff.

The tougher questions I'll save for my neighbor since he knows my home and it's value, etc.

Why don't you ask the insurance person? If they're selling you the policy they should be able to answer your questions.

Personally, think most people are over insured for their homes. No matter what there will never be a 100% value payback, since you will always have your land and slab and driveway...most people pay insurance for that. I get the highest deductible allowed to get the lowest quote.
 
I thought I had posted on this thread but after scanning the past posts I see I have not....Is posting email address allowed on this forum? cause if it is I will give out my phone number and we can talk, not as good as you being here but better than nothing!!!!!

This guy gave me a $500 deductible, I originally have a $1000 deductible........I'm going to ask him to change that and a few other things, just to see the diff.

I'll prob go w/someone else, he's charging me more for my auto than I currently have????

I may have posted in this thread already but my view may have changed some. I think I tend to post a lot on this Forum to kind of chat with people -we all need that- it's nice to have this place where you can talk to people and be yourself.

I fully agree and I have relied on this forum a lot over the last few months. Is is not the same as a face to face connection, but it sure helps me a lot to be able to interact with other people.
 
You can always send a private message and perhaps some will be comfortable sharing their email address with you. Don’t really see much difference between a private message”conversation”’here and an email convo, other than the extra step of having to log in here before accessing your conversations

I would be very reluctant to give my private email to anyone other than a long time poster who I had gotten to know over some period of time and who I trusted. Believe it or not, there are a few people here who are not what they pretend to be. Women should be very careful.

One big advantage to using a PM is that if things get out of control, the moderators can still step in, or the offending person can be put on ignore.
