You never have to apologize for reaching out, Crypts, or for posting how you feel. That's what PC is for and why we are all here!

I'm feeling this way too. We have a beautifully supportive community here, and it does help a lot, but we all need at least one person in our lives to be physically present, offering a kind word or smile when we need it, accepting the love we want to give without being yet another person seeking to use us. It's a basic human need that for far too many people, isn't getting met.
