It is a fallacy to believe you cannot rely on others. The entirety of human existence proves otherwise. We survive through our communities and adapt to changes as groups, individually experiencing things alone when we choose, but ultimately we're all in this together.

Not getting any help doesn't make someone brave. True bravery is opening oneself up, being vulnerable, to others so that they can truly help and empower you. I say this from experience. 7 years of bad luck isn't really bad luck- it's perseverance, it's fighting, it's a win because you're still here.

It is true that you may consider the people here as internet strangers, but the willingness for strangers to build a community and support each other is proof positive that we can find good and help in each other. We can rely on others.

I may not have been here as long as other users, but I've posted stuff and I've seen you comment in response and it was awesome! You can often make someone's day without realizing it and that is a powerful thing.
