I have no one else to "talk" with. I teach some classes but that doesn't count because I'm just talking about data. And they all have to be there (department requirement) or want a letter of rec from me later. No real exchanges. SS is the only place I talk about anything other than work. I open it up even when I get a break at work just to scroll & read & share. To feel like I'm actually a person and not just a rotting lump of meat. I feel guilty admitting this.
