> <I think you are.**Thank you! But, then again, you don't know the REAL me, now do you >) he he....
> I never claimed to be, now did I. Anyway, I didn't mean to cause such an uproar.
> <It's the interesting posts that gather all the comments.**Isn't that the truth... But honestly, I can't be the only prson who thinks things like this can I??? (PLEASE tell me I'm not!!!) I know thta actually saying it outloud makes me sound like a royal b**** but I do want to figure out a way past it. And Dinah really helped me realize that a snapshot doesn't tell everything. But, with everyone seemingly jumping down my throat just makes me want to appologize. I shouldn't have to appologize for the way I feel and for wanting to change that, now should I? If I didn't want to change it, I wouldn't have posted it.
> > So, go ahead. Let me have it :)
> < You are so funny. I like that approach, now if I said "Let me have it." the whole psycho babble site would be shut down for incivility.***Not everyone would respond that way. I certainly wouldn't. And if I post something that I reread and realize that it could potentially hurt, I'm quick to try and retrack, as best I can. That's all you can do. Live and learn, my friend. I don't know why you get the response you do. Maybe things are taken too literally? I try to see the forest for the trees. Well, I'm not going to say much else for fear of another backlash :)
> Did you see where I posted..."I need a hug" and someone said "that's not all you need."
> the more I play that out in my head the more painful it seems. If I ever wanted to feel real bad...there are a few people that would love to accommodate me. I guess I got carried away.**Yes, I saw that... I gave you one too.. (Jai) here's another... I too would have been hurt. But, do you have a lot of intraction with that person? You just can't let things like that get to you. And I know it's hard. Well, I'd tell you what I really think, but not here.... You have my email address. If you email me, I'll give you my HONEST (and you know it will be honest) opinion.
Hang in there hun, you're doing just fine :)
