Some days I feel like our words on Facebook or Twitter or blogs or small talk to those we know best do not reveal this statement,  "We are older, and much more seasoned." But it seems like when we go through something it is very important to connect in that gut-wrenching way with someone who understands us, that we are now older from the experience, and more seasoned. Like you said, that often takes a face-to-face human contact. My question is this, is it more about common experience or the right setting or both that helps us "feel with" others?
