Hi MarcusAurelius. I have felt supported by you a lot these past few days. I appreciate that very much. I've been glad to get to know you a little better, too. I would love to support you, the best that I can. You are always welcome to send me a PM if you like.

I mentioned to you that I wondered why I should stick around. I got to a point where I felt I gave a lot, but only a few people even appreciated my contributions. And many didn't seem to acknowledge my presence a lot of the time, or even seem to want to know me. One person in the past even acted in passive aggressive ways. So, I totally get the feeling you are describing. However, I did come back. I came back because I know that quality is more important than quantity. If I can have just one, or two, or if I'm lucky three nice friends here that's worth it. I do have at least one very very good pal here that I trust, and have a few others that I feel close to or are excited about getting closer to. Like you. At least, I see them as people I believe have true open arms. People that I can extend arms to and not be rejected or reached out to conditionally. Or rejected straight up. I imagine you're like me and like to be true to yourself. I feel being untrue to myself is like losing myself.

So, an inequity has been done somewhere. Yes, we could grieve or run away. Or, we can move on from that and rise above. Those who "win" or get greater benefit, when it's undeserved, are really not true winners, in the end.
