I get a great feeling of fulfilment and satisfaction from helping another person. It’s nice to feel helpful and appreciated.

Fluther is family. I ask questions, my family answers. I need advice, fluther talks to me. I answer questions for others. It’s simple, really. Wish my RL family were that simple.

Edit: Welcome to fluther! Unoriginal, but nonetheless GQ.

The feeling of knowing it all! I see so many questions within my power to answer! I feel like an intellectual GIANT! Yes, I am intentionally tooting my own horn here.

Truth be, I love answering questions. I can expand more brain cells that way. :)

Fluther saved my life, fo reals!
I also enjoy the Lurve in’s. Those just make Fluther down right sexy to me.

Ben and Andrew take turns holding a gun to my head, sneering, “Answer cookie-man! Answer and make it good.”

A place where old distant friends and new acquaintances become friends can all interact through a huge collective. To me it’s like a board game but with many players and we’re all kind of brainstorming and forming tangents, working out our brains, memories, emotions, problem solving skills, etc.

I love expressing my opinion but also hearing and learning from the opinions of others. I also like to write and find it easier to express my opinions in written (typed) form than the spoken.
