I haven't noticed anything bizarre. I tend to think certain things I say are met with dead silence here too. And maybe they are. Or maybe I just am incredibly sensitive about them and am extra aware of how they are received. But in either case, they're part of me. And in sharing them, I'm sharing me. I can't control how the gift of myself is received, but sometimes the satisfaction comes in the giving, you know?
At any rate, I don't always have something to add to what someone says. But I always appreciate the gift when someone shares of themselves here.
I hope you feel better soon. And I hope that you and your therapist reach an understanding. It can be so deeply moving to be understood and accepted.
