Thanks for your response Hannah,
We've been bumping into each other alot lately :)
I was just identifying with some of the things you wrote. ie... wondering if the past hurts expressed in this thread PLUS the fact that Im new might be contributing to my ability (or lack of) to get to know people.
People have been immensely helpful here (if youve read my other posts lately then you know how much I mean that ("PB raises the bar")
But I have looked on longingly at some of the closer and more established relationships represented here. It seems by the tone of some posts, some people here have known each other for years. (Im amazed that people could even grow that close on the internet and often wonder if their friend ship exsits outside of this site)
Anyway, I too have only been here for 4 or 5 months and honestly, thats not a long time.
I worry that i come across differently in my posts than I am in person, and wonder if that affects perception of me, (do I sound paranoid :)
Friend ships are something that bloom in their own time in the mean Im happy Im here.
My other reason for my post was to confess my name change, just in case someone may feel suspicious or lied to. Clear my conscience sort of thing... Your sweet, thanks for caring> >I hoped that if that were the reason, i might have cause for rejoicing (its not just me :)

> Heavens, femlite, it's not you! How long have you been here? I've only been here a couple of months, so I haven't seen many of your posts. Post all over the place--let people get to know you.

> People have assured me that this will blow over, and I think I'm already seeing that. I feel so much better the last couple of days than I did a couple of days before that.

> I'm glad you're here, and I look forward to knowing you better. (And connecting!) :)
