Isn't that exactly what we do, though? I stay here partly to relearn social skills... because ppl are personable and personally involved. Yes, there are a few members who are still struggling with their own issues that don't allow them to see "others' as they are rather than as those members think the others "should" be? My personal take on it

In one sense, though, it isn't good to take things so personally. Try to allow some comments and posts to "roll off our backs" and realize that we might not understand what is really being said, nor why that member is saying it right then! There's a lot of denial and reaction from members, of course, too.

We all have personal opinions. The site would be flat without our personalities. IMO

Take care of you, first... try not to let other's actions affect you too deeply (and if they do, PM a mod for help!) TC
