I'm not underestimating how horrible it feels to have done something embarassing. Heaven knows how many times I've done it.
But reputations are repairable. People have enormously short memories, and are wrapped up with themselves and their own lives (which is not only fair enough, but wonderfully convenient at times). It's astonishing how fast things *can* blow over.
You do have someone to talk to, you know. I'm not a therapist, but you can contact me. And I do care about you, ever so much, Alex.
And there are many at Babble who feel the same.
We aren't substitutes for licensed professionals. But empathy and caring we have for you.
