And remember, too, Orchid, although I *know* you have a kind heart and good intentions....you don't have to take care of other posters' needs.
If any one person thinks they need a break from Babble, from examining their life, from psychological issues, or from introspecting, hopefully they will recognize and act on this on their own, in their own unique ways.
I think you should post whatever YOU'D like to post at the time, and those who are interested and up for that depth or type of discussion will join in. Those who aren't, won't. (Pretty much like most threads, if you think about it.)
But no worries on your part about *their* needs in that regard. Is there perhaps a bit of projection happening for you around this idea? I only wonder this aloud because several times a few months ago, you seemed to express frustration around *you* doing too much looking inward all the time, and that maybe it was not helping you. Are you maybe inadvertently assuming others must also struggle with that as a negative experience, when in fact, they don't?
Does this make sense?
