alex, it may only be in the way you say things. you're very articulate and firm in your convictions and that can make someone who is mentally "unsteady" to jump to conclusions. it boils down to this, it's a support forum.

i tried and tried to engage with you and someone else in the thread about self-psychology and was never acknowledged as having put in a word. since i "know" you, it only mildly disturbed me because i know how strong your focus is and i just assumed that what i was trying to say wasn't fitting in with your goal of the thread.

we are all individuals and we all suffer from something or the other that can cause us to be unable to always "click" with one another. i think that you're reading too much into other's reactions and perhaps not thinking enough about your responses.

i see you as a very educated and articulate young woman who has a world of ideas and experiences to share. and i always read your posts. sometimes i don't understand fully what you're talking about, but i always take something away from your writings.
