O silly me, for thinking all 7,000 members of this place are "myopically self centered" -- which would be, you know, pretty much the raison d'etre for a support forum. People come here to lay out their problems and get sympathy and advice. Sometimes they get neither, and sometimes they don't get what they want. Welcome to life.

I'm sorry if I offended you. Think what you like of me; I have living, breathing, in-the-same-town friends to talk to who don't appear to think I'm a stupid, rude, ******. (I never said you were any of those things, either, or lazy, or whatever else you accused me of.)

And yes, I have had my challenges, and some of them I've met, and some of them I'm working on, but never have I used them as an excuse for not being able to do something. Frankly, I don't come here much anymore because I have an active life and a good therapist and don't need the artifice of the place.
