Interesting, Deli. I find myself being more frustrated and feeling misunderstood in my threads than I ever have. Not just by you. I feel like I don't make myself clear enough, but I also feel like I could be in denial since people tell me things that I don't agree with. I have to learn to read the replies but throw out what doesn't fit instead of getting irritated or triggered by it. It's confusing because I ask for opinions but I don't know if I really want them, or if I just want to be heard. I get confused and don't know who to listen to, though I know I just need to listen to myself! I also feel like people will stop responding because I'm too defensive and don't seem grateful. I AM grateful for all replies but often they bother me. Is that why people take a break from PC? I am too addicted to do that, though.

I wasn't going to mention the above but maybe I needed to and you gave me the push to do it. It's not you, Deli. It's me. I agree that we both want the connection but go about it differently. I think we need to mix ourselves up and come out with a happy medium!
