Crippling loneliness

There are, but each such forum will have its special focus. I don't know of any particular forum that exists just for all and sundry to shoot the breeze. The forums will be dedicated to a particular area such as computer programming in a particular language, religion/theology, biology/science, beekeeping, getting pregnant, gardening, home maintenance and construction, international travel, automotive/vehicle repair, engineering, broadcasting, WIFI/internet networking, etc. Virtually all of them provide assistance for people who have some difficulties or questions in that area of focus. Basically, think of some area of interest to you and go online to find a community that is built around it. Some communities may be more accepting than others, but there are usually plural options.
