Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

As much as I can love a person I've only interacted with on an Internet forum, I love you. I don't even know what else to say right now in reply to this - I'll read it again in the morning and maybe be able to be more cogent and say something better - but this was everything I wanted in a response when I made this post, and I just don't even have the words to express how much it means to me that you were able to give me the thing I needed but couldn't perfectly articulate a request for. I have needed someone to do that my whole life.

"thank you" doesn't even begin to cover it
I'm so glad that my comment was what you needed. I was trying to muster something good and I wasn't sure if it was going to hit the mark for you so it's nice to get the positive feedback.
I hope you're doing well and that things have been going more smoothly than you predicted. I really appreciate the contributions you make to this site and the culture here, it makes it a welcoming place even for oddball characters like me who never feel at home anywhere.
It was a much better week than I expected, and I have been wanting to make a post telling everyone and thanking you all, but I wanted to wait for this weekend to try to keep the actual date slightly fuzzier.
A major contributor to things being better was feeling so supported by the kindness of the community here and distracted with all the various topics and interests everyone had. I appreciate you all very, very much. โค๏ธ
Reading this genuinely hurts my heart. You are one of the coolest people I've ever met, online or off. You're famous even to my husband, who is not on Hexbear but cheerfully suffers my enthusiasm for the site. I link him to your comments regularly, and I literally refer to you as "the best Hexbear" to help him remember which person you are whenever I talk about you (which happens fairly often).
In addition to sharing everything I learn from you with my husband directly (and teenage son in an overview/notes form that he's more likely to take in ๐๐), I sent your comment about what to know when starting ADHD medication to a recently diagnosed friend who was very impressed and grateful. You are positively changing the lives of people you will never directly interact with.
Honestly, considering all of that, I feel like a real asshole for thinking about doing anything that would interfere with my ability to bring your wisdom to the people I know.
I don't want to be weird gushing over it too much โ I know sometimes my enthusiasm for particular people comes across as creepy โ but I could easily write a dozen paragraphs about the positive impact you've had on the lives of people here and elsewhere. Please let me know if a little (or big!! ๐) essay on how great you are would be at all helpful to you, it would be my absolute pleasure to write it.
It makes me feel really good to know that you appreciate my contributions here, too; it means a lot, especially coming from you. Thank you very much.
