My take: neither you nor anyone else need do anything to "earn" being the center of attention here.  |
Rohag-
I know that with my low self esteem right now and easy ability to jump to distorted cognitions that it is easy for me to misinterpret what people intend to be saying and insert instead what I am feeling about myself (ie, I'm not good enough to post here, I'm just bothering people, etc.) I don't think it was anything you specifically said. It was just my own insecurities rearing their ugly head. But thank you for setting me straight.
Sometimes I need to be whacked over the head when my thoughts get out of control and reminded that people do care. Even if they have just said it. My biggest fear is always that people let me be around, but really they don't want me to be, and they are just trying to be nice, and are too nice to tell me to go away because they don't want me around. I think I was getting pulled back into this one. So thank you for setting me straight.
