I think part of recovery sometimes is giving others the benefit of the doubt more, although that can go wrong too
Whatever.

Wish wish wish I could delete this.
But starting lots of posts and deleting is wrong too....
Such a good post! Please don't delete.

It think it might be an internet thing aswell. Nobody can see me and can't see my facial expressions, don't know the real me. I always try to post supportively and with good intentions but sometimes others read something else into it. There's not a malicious bone in my body, honest but how to convey that over the internet? I don't know.

Then there are those that have been hurt very badly in the past and because of that they assume the worst in people straight away. Learning to trust is difficult.

I don't know what the answers are, other than for you to be YOU and for me to be ME.

Hugs
