Another great question, Fuzzy!

I agree with that statement also. Positive social support is something we need, but there is also negative social support which can be too much support or the wrong kind of support. Like, sometimes we just need someone to listen, but if they go off giving a bunch of advice that might just make us feel worse. And then there's my situation right now that has me looking for a hole. These people really mean well and think they are being helpful, but they aren't. Leaving me alone would really be the best thing for them to do, but they will go though all of the possibilities and not even think about just backing off.

Sorry about that. Stepping down now.
