Hi--
I come into the forum almost everyday and read thru most of the posts and am really touched by all the love and concern shown to everyone here.
There are many times I would like to respond but I don't know what to say.
I used to be in a support group but finally left because I never knew what to say.
When family and friends gather and have conversations I usually get left out because I don't know what to say.
I don't have as much difficulty if it is something where I can offer some logical advice or information about something but to give support i am a failure.
How do you know what to say and how do you learn to feel comfortable giving and receiving support, concern, care, love, wahtever?
Even writing this post makes me feel stupid. why cause I don't know what to say without sounding stupid.
I do read people's posts and I am a caring person it is just that I don't know what to say.
