I'm sorry you have that have gotten that impression...
I personally have not felt like I
had to divulge personal info...I do see a few members on here who do do this, but it is strictly voluntary on their part....
It's only natural to feel a closer connection to people when we know more about, so I guess the people who are more open would have closer connections to other members....those of us who are more private or are less open would probably have a harder time making those connections because we know so little about them....jmo
