A schoolmarm, eh? lol. I don't think that's really in keeping with my self image. I think of myself more as that insufferable little suck up to the teacher sort of kid. Maybe because I have trouble thinking of myself as anything but a kid.
I do understand the need to limit Babble time so as to be able to live the rest of your life. But I selfishly hope you manage to do that without having to leave Babble entirely. I think you're too rough on yourself. I've thought highly of you from beginning of our acquaintance, and I don't recall too many times you shook that core belief. I enjoy your input. You have a direct approach that I appreciate.
That's one thing I like about Babble. I've come to enjoy so many different sorts of people that I may not have come to know enough to understand and enjoy other places. I delight in the whimsy of some Babblers, though I'm too thoroughly literal to participate. I appreciate the passion of other Babblers, though I'm rarely moved to passion myself.
I think that's the main positives my therapist sees.
I do hope you're able to find a workable compromise for yourself. For me, I only read a few of the boards. In fact, Psychology is the only board I generally read tip to toe. The others I just scan. Maybe you can figure out a similar solution for your own Babble needs.
Babble's a richer place for your being here. Although of course we all also understand the necessities of pulling back when it interferes with the rest of life, or our mental health.
