I think I will go back to writing in my journal or take up primal screaming.....  |
I'm so sorry you don't find the responses helpful.
I do not see you as thinking of yourself as a victim and I don't think it is weak to look for sympathy. I think the problem is that sympathy feels weird to you. Maybe we could organize an experiment. You post, I respond with anger on your behalf. Someone else can try kind empathy. Someone can try advice, and Stop can respond with her signature, "there, there." Then you could see if any of those are helpful and we can all adjust our responses accordingly. I like you very much and would hate to see you stop posting.
