What question did I not give a "straight" answer to?
Who threatened suicied? I simply did something which I regret and was looking for feedback.
Who became hurt and withdrawn? I simply clarified my position.
While I agree with some of the things you said, they are easier said than done, and if I can't be perfect at them, are you saying I should stay off this list?
Just wondering. This is not a flame or anything, just a request for clarification.
yours,
V.
