Tamzin,

It's up to you whether you stay or go. You are welcome to stay as long as you want to. If you are getting benefit from being here, then I hope you stay. It's okay to need some support and to ask for it. Attention is a legitimate need. Sometimes we just need someone to know and acknowlege that we exist. It makes a big difference to be understood. If you feel like you are not being genuine here, then you probably aren't getting as much benefit or are not being understood as much as you would be if you were more genuine. That doesn't mean that anyone wants you to go - just that you have learned something and you might want to work on it. None of us is perfect.

Sincerely,
Rap
