My dear PC friends , the ones I have come to know so well .
Visiting my profile page , leaving beautiful pictures , messages , P.M.'s of thoughtfulness and sometimes concern. I am sorry that I can't be all that I would like to be . Always there when you need me , always knowing exactly what to say , lol I do try my best though , it's just lately my best is not very much at all . Please forgive me .
I was spending like 8 to 9 hours a day on here and now just visit once in a while . What do you think of me ? Am I being selfish ?
I really enjoy this site , but I would like to try and find a schedule that doesn't take up all day , it's just too much . I can't seem to get anything done without being on here , but when I'm on for most of the day , forget about the laundry , or other things I just keep putting off.
How much time do you spend on PC on average ?
Is it too much or too little (which is the case with me now).
Know I love you all and thanks for reading my thread .

There is no need to apologize for needing to take care of things/your self. Those types of things take us all away from PC at times. It is a balance between being on line and making sure we get other things done. Don't worry about not being here enough. We are happy to see you when you can be here.

I was just thinking about you today, very glad to see you posting.
I dont think you are selfish at all, you are quite the opposite, you gave so much of yourself. It is time you take care of yourself, do what you have to do for yourself.
I used to spend a lot of time on here but having gone back to work I spend a lot less and I actually thought I would not come every day but I do, I got so much from people like you, I would love to give back.
Please do what is right for you, you are important, you are a very caring person who deserves to be happy

Babysteps selfish?! That deserves to go in the "Laughter is the Best Medicine" group (which was founded by whom???).

But yes, you Babysteps, most unselfish of men, would feel selfish for easing up on your "output" here. That's who you are.

Personally, I would much rather get a rare, occasional Babysteps fix than have you burnout and collapse.

Everyone here has the right to determine their own level and type of participation, and personal needs legitimately top the underlying considerations for those decisions.

Babysteps!

You're not being selfish. I think part of the point on this place is to get better. And spending 8-9 hours personally I'd say is too much.

Good for you

And take care, glad to see you

This is so you (((((Babysteps))))) - none of us can ever be all that we would like to be, but you see this as a character flaw in yourself and apologize for it. Tsk, tsk! How can you expect yourself to be anything at all if you wear yourself down to nothing? You must take care of yourself first in order to be able to share any part of yourself with others. There are so many things going on with so many people here all the time it is impossible for anyone to keep up with everything and everyone all the time.

Balance is the key - everything in moderation. We each can only do what we can when we can and trust that our friends understand and that they want for us only whatever is in our best interest just as we want for them. We all just want to know that you are okay and that you will let us know if you're not so that we can lend a hand. Take care of yourself.

Sorry to notice this thread before.

You are definitely not selfish. You may participate/spend time on PC in whatever way and time you want or have. It is meant to be helpful to you not make your life more stressful because you aren't meeting your needs.

Take Good Care of Babysteps!!!
