The problems here being that empathy only works properly if you\'re face to face and it\'s someone you actually know, if you\'re in a fit of real depression then no amount of friendly funtime hugboxing on the internet is going to draw you out of yourself (if anything, if just makes you feel more pathetic), and that in the end all the good sentiment in the world is just that; sentiment. That\'s why it\'s hollow.

It\'s a few scribbled words about how great the world is and no meaningful action to support it, a little paragraph about how much you\'re loved by all those people you\'ve never met but will never receive any confirmation from, and how you shouldn\'t kill yourself because anonymous poster #3445 decided it would make him sad. Empathy to a modest degree, just like you said.

That said, you kind of have to question the validity of telling people they\\\'re not alone over the internet in general. You tend not to get groups of ten using the same computer, after all.
