Or we can get back on topic and try to get out newest member to feel comfortable enough to talk. Or possibly our swa just wanted it out there they are not able or up to accepting friend requests.

SWA--you are hurting and feeling worthless, two emotions and feelings that are very, well, hurtful. I am so sorry that you are feeling like that. There are many times that I, too, have not felt worthy of being friended by someone, but I have found that, as DocJohn says, it is part of the healing process here. By all means, you don't have to accept the requests, but possibly the longer you are here and see that people do want to be your friends, you will realize that you are worth caring about. Also, you don't need to be scared to be friends with folks here...it doesn't mean they have any more access to your information than anyone else. It just means you have people who are available to you. Even if you never choose to have a friend here, please know that there are those of us who are willing to listen to why you don't think you are worth it and what has gotten you to that point. Then maybe we can share our experiences and help you see that you aren't alone and you can heal.

I hope that you don't see the snippy, bickering that went on at the beginning of your post as typical of pc. PC is comprised of thousands of people with thousands of personalities. As a community liaison I welcome you and tell you to please feel free to contact any of us with any concerns or questions. As a pc memeber I say welcome to our wonderful community.
