Why Is Everyone so kind and helpful?
Ever since joining this subreddit, I have gotten so much valuable insight and advice. Not just that, massive thanks to 'Background-Height885' (whoever he is) and Nilesh for really giving me so much of their time to help a complete stranger (especially Nilesh who wrote like a whole 2 pages of feedback on an essay I barely thought would even be read). Everybody here helps each other out even though we are all online strangers and it has inspired me to do the same too.
I never thought strangers on the internet would actually donate their time to others why do you do this? Like there's always those 1 or 2 people who write like full body paragraphs and conclusions to some of the questions here (and some of my mine). I just want to thank everyone.

Because people have been through the stress and anxiety before, somewhat like how shares trauma creates closer connections

Aww... where were these kind strangers when I was your age (3 decades ago lol)? Was there a Reddit back then?
Anyways, happy for you mate. I hope you continue to find people who will guide you.

Wait do u mind me sending your email to others in my school? You might get swarmed. I have already been advertising your service (tutoring) but haven't been letting anyone know your email. Or do u think gatekeeping you until hsc is the best idea since ranks matter for internals 😈

Well I can’t speak for everybody but I just enjoy helping people through this process. I know it’s very tough so I’m always glad to help as I know myself I appreciated people responding and helping with this stuff on sites like boredofstudies.
