What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Are you me? I have trouble expressing myself and feel I don't have much to add so I only ever lurk here but this thread has been a huge relief (most of the time). Knowing you're not alone really does help!

I really appreciate both of you speaking up! I actually do know another person who's posted in this thread/discussion a while ago in the past, and they've stressed out over it a bit, so I tried to reassure them that I was sure their posts were reassuring and comforting to lurkers who were reluctant to outright say something themselves. And now I am sure that the posts you have made now will be reassuring and comforting for them in turn. The circle continues!

Indeed... as a certain someone put it:

Yeah, I certainly know how it feels to be nervous about chiming in to established conversations. It's nice to hear that people can find comfort in simply knowing they are not alone even if they're not always completely comfortable with vocalizing that.
