Take the time you feel you need but know we are here when you come back. I am sorry you feel bad. I do not know what happened in chat but I do know that sometimes people need to take care of themselves. We never know what may be going on for others at any given time. Do not take it personally. And if you think there is a problem, pm those people and ask them if there is something going on. If there is they will either answer you or will not. We cannot control the action or feelings of others only our own.
I know for me there are times when I can go into chat and be there to help, listen, joke around, talk. But there are many times when I just go in and I do not say alot. I just want to be around others so I am not alone. I do not say much except hi but I am there. It is not against anyone there it is just that I am not in the space to really say much. But that is not about anyone else. Sometimes people are just not in a place to talk. They just need time.
If I need to talk to someone or feel there is a problem, I pm that person and it is their choice to respond or not. It may not be anything I did at all. So many times it is something going on for that person and they just need some space. Try not to take it personally.
I hope you will keep going to chat and posting here on the boards. Take breaks where you need to and take of care of you. For no one knows better than you what you need. Just know we are here when you come back and are ready to listen whenever you are ready to talk.
We do care and are listening. Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts.
