Perhaps, not. You are correct. I have been up for going on 3 days now and am a bit emotional. I felt criticized and scolded. Do you really think that I would have spent the last 36 hours sitting here and writing unless I absolutely had to? What gives Starlite or anyone else the right to judge whether or not my post belongs here? If this is supposed to be such a supportive environment, why would she publicly scold me and humiliate me when all I am trying to do is be kind and share positive things, even when, especially when, my mind is cluttered with the negative? She could have either ignored me or sent me a private message. Embarrassment gave way to anger and then I wanted to turn tail and run, never to return. Is that what you call being supportive? If you are interested in why I am so upset, you can refer to the post, WHY ARE YOU HERE.
And you for that matter, you could have messaged me privately and called me out on my post or questioned why I would say such a thing rather than calling attention to me publicly just as Starlite did. Did you want to further embarrass me, humiliate me? Do you feel morally superior now? I hope so. You sure did succeed at making me feel inferior.
