Sure, everyone likes attention. I like attention, but not to the point where I spend time trying to figure out if people are reading my threads. I only want information and attention that people willingly give. If I have to push my way in, or try to sneak around behind the scenes to learn something that people aren't telling me .... well, that's the part that I'd imagine would be painful.

I am invisible because someone used to send me PM's every time I came on the board & become upset when I did not answer.

Sometimes the harder someone clutches onto people to try to get closer, the more those same actions push people away.
