So, there are support groups out there, anonymous, who all have features such as intimate sharing with strangers. But today, I had an idea for something a bit different: intense sharing, like on a forum, for anonymous strangers in real life.

The people come, sit down, and talk about their lives, their accomplishments, their failures, their hopes and disappointments. The others can offer advice, but the point is that there are people there who want to listen.

People can go if they have issues, but they can also go if they just want to listen, or if they feel lonely and that no one will listen to them.

Business is very confidential, although obviously people can exchange information, but they do it at their own risk.

Honestly, I think that mental health is a huge issue right now, I'd run it for free or the taxes should pay for it. (If they should pay for anything).
