The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the “same” experiences, which are often described in self-help groups. It is said that one principle of self-help groups is “sharing”. But so far, the pioneering studies do not illuminate what are “the same” experiences, or what is shared, under this principle. The view of this paper is that “sharing” is not literally accepted, but is more than a slogan. By analyzing a self-help group in a BBS, I will demonstrate the relationship between the “same”/“different” experiences and activities.
