God, I hope this doesn't come out wrong, but its just i have run into the occassional poster who struggles with 'fitting in' here.
I dunno, but to me, I see this as a n open forum where we all fit in, we are all entitled to our opinions and respect.
Now there are definately some tighter bonds btwn some posters due to knowing each other for a long time, or just having characteristics that form a quick understanding.
The WONDERFUL thing that I love here is the FORGIVINGNESS I see. Ya we piss each other off now and again, cuz we human, but then we come round and start posting to each other again.
Cuz we all have our moments. I sure do anyways. And babblers seem to always accept me back even after I've gone off on a tangent.
And I try to do the same.
I try to read each post as the PERSON (yup, there's actual real hurting people typing those words)expressing themself as best they can.
Sometimes there's not many replies, sometimes they are slow in comming. But as a poster I have found when I get few replies, theres often a general lack of activity on the board. Its not just me.
We are a bunch of struggling people. Thats generally what brought us here in the first place.
We are learning to give and receive, to trust and to share, to be hurt and come back and forgive, and be forgiven.
And its all relatively safe given the anonymity here.
So damned if I quite know what I am trying to get across.
I guess for those that struggle with feelings of acceptance here....KEEP TRYING, there's good people here.
Just be who you are, communicate, be as honest as you can, and people will generally come to respect you over time.
