Moonkin, I am sorry you feel this way. The fickleness of people you illustrated in your post is something that resonates with me too.

People use the term ‘love’ or bandy the term 'friendship' when they clearly do not mean what they say. And sadly one can see prime examples of that in real life and on the boards. It does seem more like learning to play a game than being genuine.

However, I do not believe that this is necessarily untreatable. Counselling / therapy could help. If you’re not prepared to post on the boards, so be it. But don’t give up on yourself.

Do take care.
