(darn 386... here is the rest of the post...)
My primary purpose here is not disruption, yet any culture that precludes disruption precludes growth. I don't come here to hurt people. I get hurt here. I feel it is abusive of you to presume to explain my motivation rather than asking and trying to understand my explanation of my motive. I feel annoyed with your reply to my post in this thread, but that does not mean you annoy me. I own my annoyance toward you, and support those who do not attribute their feelings to a second or third person.
On the other hand, if you hold me responsible for the annoyance others feel, perhaps you can understand why I explore a culture basis for "my depression" (borrowed term).
I don't understand how one can maintain that I should discuss my feelings, yet adamantly discount my reflection of my feelings.
I don't understand how one can express concern that I not take my life, but have so little interest, concern or respect for what my life means.
