I do understand what you're describing, and feel that many probably do. I wanted to confirm that part. But you're right that in our society anyway, it is probably too ingrained that it is best not to "spread" or reinforce it with others, so the people who come forward in places like this are likely to be offering the kind of help and viewpoints you don't want. Personally I haven't needed to connect with anyone on this thinking, because I haven't felt any benefit from that on any level, and I think I would only perceive one if it would help enlighten those close to me IRL who may be affected.
I offer all that only by way of saying that I think you are indeed not alone in how you look at things, only in the part about finding likeminded people who also need or want or are willing to talk about it.
It does feel strange not to end by saying something like "I hope you feel better," but I won't. I do hope you find someone to talk about it with though, if that is what will come the closest...
