Dear luminary22:

You wrote: “I  know you can’t tell what a person is like via forums on this website”. True I can’t tell what you look like but if you share your thoughts and feelings, your experience, through an ongoing communication on a thread, there is a whole lot I can learn about you. You can learn about others as well, if others share honestly about their thoughts, feelings and life experiences. You can choose what to share and now much of it to share, but as long as what you share is honest to you, it will help me understand.

On the other hand, how common it is that people who lived with each other for years and decades (such as parents and children as well as romantic partners) know so little about each other, other than looks and trivia, that is. Don’t you think?

If you would like, do share about any of your relationship. If you do, I will reply, maybe ask you questions so to understand better, and we can communicate that way, learn more.
