Yeah, I'm pretty cynical.

The LC does seem to be catered towards a specific group of people, and it’s probably fair to say that it meets certain needs - at least initially. The classic example might be the college freshman who is looking for community and finds it with the LC.
What I have seen in the LC is that as people age, the LC is less likely to meet whatever needs it met previously. I’ve seen people leave that I never have expected to, sometimes when “life happens”, or sometimes it’s just because they aren’t getting any attention anymore like they were in college. Whatever the case is, it seems that those who have stayed and are older tend to be excessively needy. For many, it’s probably a cry for help. I feel sorry for them, but there’s not much that can be done.
