Sarcasm? :-D
Do you find it necessary that you should understand sarcasm in order to fully understand my posts?
> it was just that the answer to your first three questions was in the first paragraph of angela's second (and only other) post in the thread.
So... Why don't YOU give ME some SUPPORT? Geesh. You should know by now that reading is a challenge for me. I must be selective in the battles I choose. The written word is not easily accessible to me. It becomes my opponent. It often leaves me drained and cognitively slowed.
> it wasn't buried in the murky depths of a long paragraph (as i am wont to do) or buried in the murky depths of 5 of 9 posts (as i am also wont to do). it was right there.
I didn't read Angela's second post because this is what I saw in her first post:
"I haven't seen my therapist in so long."
"It feels crippling. It feels like, I am in a prison and can never leave."
" I obsess and worry and ruminate. Not having many friends doesn't help."
" My best friend is going away. not physically. but emotionally."
" We are drifting apart. And I keep clinging to him."> i'm sorry if i hurt your feelings.
You're funny. :-)
> if i was angela i would be like... what!? why do i even both speaking at all!?
You aren't Angela.
I hope that Angela is not reticent to speak for herself, given the lack of support we have shown her during our selfish bantering. I did offer Angela an opportunity to let me know if anything I wrote hurt her. I could really use some help in having someone identify in what ways I hurt Angela so that I might improve my communication skills. Unfortunately, my reading challenges persist, and I will continue to navigate clumsily through posts.
Angela: I am sorry that your thread was more or less hijacked by A_K and me.
What do you need from people on Psycho-Babble?
In what ways can I improve my communication with you so that you get what you need?
