ugh.... sorry.... decided to delete this.

I think what I was going to say might be taken the wrong way, or maybe its just me feeling hypersensitive.

love and peace to everyone here

why do you keep trying to delete your feelings? It will not work anyways.

By deleting your post.... you are not getting rid of it. Speak it loud and clear. Most people don't "care" anyways in a way to get oh-so-offended. We all have our demons, so I doubt anybody will judge.

Get it out, don't let it consume you. At least try to. Do you think it looks scary in text, the thoughts on your mind? Or are you afraid how others might take it?

and we can help better if we know what is going on.

I was going to say sorry to anyone I might have been grrr with over the past year........

and that I don't need any replies.

I find online incredibly difficult sometimes, people who are very sensitive sometimes DO take what I say the wrong way, maybe its happened to you too

But you're right about most people....I do know that.

Thanks for your post.

I know what you mean by finding online conversations difficult. I have sometimes sent emails (not necessarily on PC) that have offended people.
I talked to a friend of mine about this who generally hates texting, emailing or online chatting because there is no way we can see from gestures, facial expression, posture, tone of voice, inflection etc. how a comment is meant. These indicators are all missing and it means that there is more room for misinterpretation.
Saying that, I have often misunderstood people face-to-face as well and sometimes found it harder to say things face-to-face, as I had simply lacked the courage.

Peace to you, too, Fuzzy. I hope you're feeling somehow better today!

All so true. This is an issue with which I struggle. I fear hurting people with my posts, so I often end up self-censoring.

Just spit it out, Fuzzy. Then you can go back and change words if you want to make the tone softer or more gentle. Luckily, we have a large supply of smiles to help get good feelings across. And as for Grrr, well, who among us has not snapped at someone? Let them cast the virtual first stone. Personally, I don't think you need to worry about getting hit.
