My problem is I feel as though I'm sometimes invisible here, like nobody seems to care to support me, when I make an effort to support others.

I'm with you on that one! There are many times that I feel as if what I have to say doesn't matter. There also have been times when I needed input and support on something. Got quite a few reads, but no comments.

I think it depends on our need of the moment. If I'm needing just simple attention or I think I can't solve a problem immediately on my own, it feels that way. This may be one of the times that we need to watch that we're NOT generalizing in our perspective.

Sky came up with a good idea the other day. She said that when someone complains of feeling invisible or unliked, she does a name search and sees if it is indeed true. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she said that most of the time she didn't find it to be true. It would be a good idea for us to that for ourselves when we're feeling like no one cares. I'm going to do it!

Des, I know that I feel supportive towards you and your problems. I also feel that you are to be applauded for having chosen a different lifestyle than the rest of your family. It shows great courage and determination! It's not easy, heaven knows, but you're doing it! Don't be afraid to poke me with a stick or knock me on the head with a 2X4 if you need to, ok? And I promise to be more attentive.
