Hi Gazo,
I haven't known you that long, so I'm sorry if you don't feel any special connection to me personally.I think that you add a lot to babble. Your contributions here are very valuable.
You are not a freak, you are not poisonous or damaged. You are struggling, and probably suffering.
In time you will feel better. Even if you feel like you're repeating the same patterns over and over again, with each "repetition" you are in a different place. You can use babble as one of the stepping stones to acquiring experiences that will make the "real world" more tolerable. Maybe babble can help you learn more about yourself, so that you can make better choices.
The other reason why I'd miss you on babble is because you provide support to others, whether you admit it to yourself or not. You are a valued member of this community. I hope you have not run into any rough patches with particular posters; if you have, try to remember that we know you by the overall impression you give, not according to any one incident or pattern.
Know that you are not "judged" here according to how you look, act, or feel. You can truly be yourself, and we will support you when we can, and be with you when we can't find the right words.
I use babble to write sometimes. Just the act of writing helps me organize my life into episodes, and sometimes I even get some insight into why I act the way I do.
Your posts have helped me gain insight into human nature. As different as you may feel from others, you are still human, and you can still teach us a lot about ourselves.
If babble makes you feel bad, of course it's a good thing for you to get some distance. Please come back and join us if/when you are able. We'll miss you.
-Ll
