I don't feel safe being seen.
I should hide away.
It's scary letting people see me.

I like your name and your picture. Pretty.
LC

Hello Caroline,

You are welcome to post here. It is normally a very safe place and there are a lot of very nice people who care for each other here.

You will meet us and people will help you to stay safe.

Take care.

Thank you place but I don't feel safe being seen because people won't like me if they see me properly. That's why I hide behind things and people.

I'm glad people care for each other but I don't want to get in the way.

you are not in the way Caroline. that's the thing about PC. we see the real you, the you that you are convinced is bad or scary or ugly. we are not afraid. you are safe here, seen or unseen and you are free to hide if being seen is too scary. but do not think that you will scare us off. we do not scare easy. stay and talk with us Caroline. i, for one, would love to talk to you more.

I'm scared.
Someone I care about is sad and I don't know how to make it better for her.
I don't know what to do.
I don't want her to hurt.
What can I do?
I'm scared.

Little Caroline (LC)

little caroline, sometimes all you can do for someone who is sad is just be there. saying you understand and staying with them to let them know it's okay to be sad. i hope that helps. it's hard to have someone you care about be sad when there's nothing you can really do. but i bet you are already doing more than you realize just because you care.

little caroline, you are doing more than a lot do by caring. Welcome!

Take care,
Fuzzy

Hi LC,

It is sometimes all we can do when people are sad is to sit with them and be there for them.

You are doing a lot for this person in being there.

Stay safe LC.

place

Hello Caroline!

Nice to meet you!

I'm sorry I didn't have a bigger welcome for you yesterday.

I look forward to getting to know you better.

Petunia

Thank you vicki. You are very nice and I like you.

I am scared to come here because I don't think I should. People might see how bad I am. But it is a nice place and I want to come. Maybe if I sit and watch for a bit that will be OK.

LC

Thank you Petunia. It is nice to meet you and I like your flower.

Don't get to know me too well though cos if you do you won't like me. Just stay littlebit friends.

LC

now, LC, i've gotten to know you pretty well and you are NOT bad. Petunia would like you very much if she got to know you like i have. don't be so hard on yourself, LC. you are a special and wonderful person. so is BC.

Hello Caroline. It's very nice to meet you. Welcome!!

LC-I think I'm bad most of the time too. Sometimes I think everything is my fault. But I come here and no one thinks I'm bad. If I start getting scared, someone says something to make me feel better. They will for you too. I've been having a rough time and NO ONE has made me think they don't like me, even when I talk about bad and mad stuff. You'll be fine!!
Vicki

Thank you vicki.
I'm scared now and people are being very nice
LC

Just keep talking to nice people. Ignore anybody who scares you.

There are safe people here.
