I read a post on here by someone (Wild Coyote in fact) where I think she said something along the lines of, if we isolate, we cannot receive feedback into our behaviours etc. I do tend to isolate (I ''always'' have done..) I have received feedback from someone on here (meant in a kind way) that I am sometimes outspoken (so is he) and from someone else, that they find it hard to understand how anyone could perceive me as outspoken, how I'm courteous and respectful etc. I guess both are true of me. I can be very quiet, and other times I can be outspoken. I have also received feedback from some professionals irl which has been less helpful to me (and very conflicting...) (and of course, from family,..) Occasionally on another forum (not pc) I have read a post which I am sure is directed at me, unkind and not accurate. I very rarely go there any more. I was not a regular poster there for very long. I am certain I'm not imagining it. Someone there who I trust completely agrees with me (its a forum for ''social anxiety''... I tried to be supportive there. The majority do not appreciate anyone who is a bit different. It's not of interest to me any more, that place although I did learn some useful things there. Also I often do not agree with the moderators decisions there. Sometimes extremely so. I try to learn something new every day. Thanks and appreciation to everyone here who is so supportive and insightful
