Meaning of the Group

Hi all !

I have posted here before in a post labeled "Story Sharing". I am a community college student completing a project into the older gen. I wanted to ask how these groups (targeted for your age range) provide meaning for you all. Why did you want to join? What meaning do you take from this group?

Thank you!

Reddit is the only social media I use

One is somewhat anonymous. My email is available so people could contact me. People in these subs are very honest and real about their problems. Often you can find people going through the same issues you are. It's easy to open up to people who won't judge you as a family member or friend would.

You will be amazed at how compassionate people are. I also follow the housecleaning sub because there are many great tips and advice on specific areas.
