It's probably my depression talking, and that I've read messages the wrong way, but I'm starting to feel as if I never write the right things, that I don't know what I'm supposed to be or do.

Are we supposed to share our experiences, or not?

Are we just supposed to click our tongues and offer hugs and write, "Oh, I'm sorry. I feel badly for you"

How does one become a valued member? Some of the relationships are very longstanding. People say "Welcome" at first, but later it seems as if friendship groups are operating.

I don't want to say cliques, because that implies some kind of crappy, mean-spirited behavior.

But long-standing ties are precious, are honored. Kinda like going to a friend's 20-year reunion and not knowing anyone there. People don't mean to exlude, but to the person standing around ignored while others talk, doesn't feel so good.

At any rate, I'm NOT criticizing, don't want to write any more wrong things. Just wondering what behavior is how one is supposed to be here.
