It's like talking about the weather. You know it's been hot, I know it's been hot, so informationally we have no reason whatsoever to talk about it.

Emotionally, however, it's good to know you're not alone in suffering from the heat or enduring the miseries of "swamp bottom" from sweating your butt off so badly.

Knowing you're not alone, that others are carrying similar burdens to what you are....well, it helps lighten the load and make it easier to manage.

And that's a big reason we talk.
