I think that it a pretty universal concern. In the Babble FAQ (General Questions), accessed through the link at the top of this board, there is a useful discussion on this point, "why doesn't anyone answer my posts?" My experience on this board has been that it is rare for a post to go completely unanswered. Most posters empathize with how that would feel. But level of response can depend upon how the post is phrased or even factors that have little or nothing to do with you. Sometimes a post really appears to have been put out there just for reading and general info rather than response. (My mother helpfully ends such emails to me with NRN - "no reply necessary"!) Still, usually even that type of post will get some acknowledgment or comment from someone, even if brief.
> Also it is so true about it taking years to feel safe about attachment. (I hope I'm understanding what you are saying.)
You are. That's why I hope you find a more empathic T :)
