as a "haven" i guess it has to do with the fact its easy now to find people with similar interests and feelings to talk to than ever before. Probably part of the reason why its more acceptable to be a nerd or part of a certian group that in the past, would have earned you ridicule. To be around those who support can be a big confidence booster, and the "anonminity" of the internet can also make people more comfortable with themselves and allow them to share things that they would be hesitant to express otherwise. I admit a lot has been shared about myself that i may not be so comfortable sharing in person.
Is it normal I think the internet is a sanctuary to some people.
