If we all didn't need attention, this site wouldn't exist IMNSHO. I also agree that the way some members go about getting attention tends to irk other members... we should all be able to acquire what we need in that respect without being upbraided, but it doesn't happen. I think it's when the member continually asks and does the exact same things over and over, when it doesn't appear as though they are taking anyone's "advice" that member's patience runs thin. ???

While I'm at it (soapbox?) I am also surprised that some members don't "get it" when it comes to what another member reads in (or into) another's post. We are each here for reasons, one of which is for what WE need.. and we tend to read posts with that "bent" in mind. Depending upon our own DX, we will respond as to whether we can read clearly what the poster needs, or what we are reacting to (insert our own trauma, drama.) Some members when in flare or trigger, can't possibly understand exactly the needs of another, and try to post something as a response.

All in all, if we can do the best we can, as members, and respond with GOOD attention for other members, then we will, with time, shape each other into better human beings. Ya think?
