Are You My Co-Worker?

We do both have 'the same goal' of "responding to fellow-MyLotters' posts," but we each have that goal (along with the connected goals ... making the extra money, understanding what's going on, etc.) 'all by ourselves,' we have it "individually," and not as a group.
How can we establish ourselves as a group of "co-workers"? http://buzznoise.blogspot.com/2017/02/why-i-feel-i-have-no-co-worker.html
(and I don't care if the picture means 'something political' too---it's still "truth"

I´m at mylot for many reasons.
I started here several years ago as a way of using my English to earn some cents.
Then I started to know people and I liked some a lot, as it happens in real life.
Now I earn my cents as a side prodict of talking to my dear friends.
Once in a while, as it happens offline. I meet someone that quickly turns out to be a special friend.
Is it co-working? I think about it more than coming to a party and having fun.

I also like to think of it as (I don't know why I didn't mention this above 
) 'helping to carry our crosses'---you have 'a cross you carry' (a burden in your mind that makes it difficult to think), I have 'a cross I carry,' the rest of the members each have their own 'cross they carry'; but here we explain our troubles, hear the troubles of others, who join us in making all the crosses into one, more-manageable burden that we all help to carry!
(One of my burdens might be 'the habit of trying to fit 5-or-6 sentences into one long, drawn-out sentence 
)

@mythociate One of my problems is that many times I don´t edit the post before sending it. I was truly ashamed at my answer now. I had to edit it

@marguicha That's nothing to be ashamed of. The 'typos' (spelling- & grammar-errors in the rushed-out post) make it more 'conversational' ... like 'talking to those friends who you have to listen carefully to understand.'
But I was an English major at Oklahoma City University---after a few years there, you develop the habit of 'editing your writing while you're typing it'

Yeah, 'the money' is probably "why" I come here (rather than doing various other things on various other sites). But it's important to 'not depend on MyLot.'
