I have written a lot of rubbish in the past, a consequence of a mind ill at ease. Forgive me if I offended and came across as arrogant, I am far from it. I have been consumed by self loathing and at times I think I have come across as a snob. I am not. I care deeply about everybody here at PC and my heart pains so much at times it is difficult to read many of the postings as I feel inadequate as to how to comfort and support those in their dire moments.

It has been a difficult few months trying to come to terms with myself and my image of who I am. I will try harder to be more supportive and less egotistical and self obsessed, Mental Illness, in my case robbed me of a sense of self and I much to my shame have at times written of certain priveleges that I have. BUt in honesty these priveleges mean nothing and showed me up as an arrogant, self obsessed individual.

I want to be an ordinary supportive contributor to PC who comforts and stands by those in need.

I am sorry to you all that I have been so arrogant and materialistic, it is not where I am at now.

I am doing well, I have passed my exams with flying colours. I want to post more but feel my words are lacking.

My apologies to one and all

Paddy

You are such a genuine and kind person Paddy. I certainly see no arrogance much less a need to apologize. But I appreciate your sentiment. It is what makes you special.

Paddy

I LOVE the title of this thread. I might have gone with "Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse Me," but I'm from a different generation. No worries though....you're a Cool Jerk.

Congrats on your exams.
Thanks for this!

Dear Paddykins, we all have our bad moments, we all make mistakes, it's life we are human, we mess up what is important is what we take away from those moments what we learn, please don't bag on yourself, For as long as I've known you, you have been a sweet, caring, and wonderful friend

Everyday is a new beginning, so please whatever is upsetting you about the past set it free with the morning sun, today is a day to begin a new

Always here for you dear friend, my nest is always open to you and whatver you need to talk about, (excuse the feathers, haven't gotten a chance to sweep )

(p.s. I knew you would do great on those exams)

Many blessings, hugs, and tons of love
Typo
Thanks for this!

It's nice to apologize and want to do better, but I'll be honest - I don't really think of you in the ways you describe. I know you stick up for yourself and others but I don't think that's a bad thing though. I'm glad you're in a better place and you passed with flying colors. Best of luck in improving your already 'nice self' Paddy.

(((((Paddy)))))) I must have missed all the arrogant posts. If it helps any, I don't remember seeing anything that I would have called arrogant or offensive, and I hope you don't beat yourself up too much over whatever made you feel that you were snotty. Trying to improve is always great, so I won't talk you out of that, but honestly, I don't htink you have been arrogant. Huggs dear.
Thanks for this!

I have no idea why you feel that way. Any posts that I've read by you have been supportive & caring. Maybe I missed something in particular to which you're referring, but if that's the case, we all have really bad days. It's obvious from all of the reponses you've received that no one is upset with you. I was very flattered when you befriended me, & it's always nice when you leave me messages. I hope you will keep it up & let me know how things are going with you, if you're up to it. You can PM me anytime if you are feeling down & need a friend.

I was in chat last night & noticed that you wrote something about not being well physically. I hope you feel better soon. I didn't know, & I'm sorry that you're going through that. Try not to be so hard on yourself, okay buddy? You need to take care of yourself right now.
Thanks for this!
