~~I feel exactly the same way. With the one-sidedness, hollow statements, social skills. Can I just say, I come here and complain about the most trivial shit and somehow I'm still welcome here?~~

For what it's worth, we've all got big and small things going on. A cool part about being human is getting to talk about what's happening in our lives. We are social creatures. Your story and your presence is part of this community. It is one part of the awesome mosaic we've got on here, and helps make the community what it is.

I'd like to think many people go home and talk about their days to the people they live with, if they don't live alone. This is one way of doing that.

You have caused the opposite of trouble. In fact, I look forward to reading your updates. Rooting for you.

P.S. your train knowledge is very impressive. I have a feeling you'd be fun to train spot with.
