Instead of getting upset about what I am not getting, I'm going to try to state what I need.
I need Babblers to give me positive reinforcement right now, at this negative time in my life. I need Babblers to focus on the things I am doing right and boost my self esteem.
I need support from my friends and understanding. I need Babblers to see me as a person and not an illness that needs to be worked on.

HOOOOOOORAY!!!!!!
Sorry, had to say it twice.
And just maybe also admit that you have angry feelings rather than turn them inside?
Meet you in chat?
((( Deneb ))))
I'm so frickin' proud of you.

Deneb, I think you are an amazing person! You have grown SO MUCH since I've known you!!! You take risks, you are strong and determined to improve yourself. I feel honored to have known you. I only hope to meet you in person someday. This is how I truly feel about you. I hope it means something to you, because you certainly mean something to me.

Just responding to me helps more than you will ever know. I've always felt you are so super intelligent and super brave. I hope it helps to know someone, somewhere out there has your back. I sincerely believe you can do anything you set your mind to. And I mean that! YOU ROCK!!!

I've watched you from time to time from afar when I come to the boards (I don't post very often). You seem to have grown quite a lot and you have an openness that is very endearing. Keep up the good work!

Hi Deneb,
I've met you and I see you as someone who is very intelligent and determined to get more out of life than you currently have. Intelligence and determination are great assets to have.
Plus you stick to your weight watchers, so add dedication to taking care of yourself to the mix.

Goodness me, it had never occurred to me that you might be one. This must be the borderline thing. You know that, whatever it is, is not an illness, more a philosophical trainwreck. Of course not.

Thank-you for all your support. I have a lot of good friends here. Everyone has been great here, even when others hurt me inadvertently. I think everyone means well. Some people get triggered too, I understand.
I really like it here. I feel like part of a family.

I hope you realise that when I replied to you
>>I need Babblers to see me as a person and not an illness that needs to be worked on
with
>Goodness me, it had never occurred to me that you might be one.
I said exactly the opposite of what I meant, which was, that it had never occurred to me that you had an illness.
I thought I'd better clear this up before I look like a smartarse.
