If I'm neurotic and don't know it.... am I still neurotic?

You don't become extinct if you're not responded to on the board.  You just didn't get a response and everyone doesn't get responses all the time.

It's not always about people not being interested.... sometimes they're interested in their own struggles and line of thoughts at the time.  

Sometimes another person's struggle is similar or they feel they can reach out and help someone in particular bc it just strikes a cord.  

It;s not that anyone is being ignored particularly..... it's that they're attention is somewhere else?  Does that make sense?

Jump in Lupita.  

Mix.

 Get closer to people on the board... some will click and some won't.  

You've come here looking for advice for a while.... and I think sometimes that we're accustomed to answering that call from you....  maybe that's part of this?

Hi Lighter,

Are you talking to me...it has been awhile since anyone has actually addressed something to me here that is not on my own thread. I post on a lot of threads and what I post is not always advice seeking...take a look back...

oh yes, I was begging love and I am paying the consequences.  So, when a person begs, the image that projects, is hmmmm.......

Lupita,
 Can I give an honest opinion?      Ami

[Lupita]

Daer Ami, I do not wish to get involved in a discussion with you. So, fi you are asking me permission, I say no.
But, this is a free place, you can do whatever you want. I will choose to answer or not to. And this is not personal, just that I find almost impossible for ME to communicate with you. It is my fault. Not yours. It is me, not you. I  am not saying that you are doing anything wrong, just I do not know how to handle it and I do not wish to deal with it right now.
So, you are a great person, and everybody loves you here. Including me.
Thank you for your offer. I do not wish to do that right now.
God bless you.

[Ami]

Lupita,
 I am so glad that you were honest. If you don't resonate with me, it is helpful for me to know, so I can post accordingly. No bad feelings,Lupita!                  Ami

Hi Lup,
This may sound ridiculous, but when I started your post about the baby elephants, it was so painful that I literally skipped it. I got the drift but couldn't stand it.

I love elephants.

I collected them until my brother sent me one made of ivory from Viet Nam. A light went off. Duh.

Their intelligence, their sensitivity.

I can't bear human beings sometimes. Including myself.

I completely concede that my responses or lack thereof have frustrated you Lup, but I am honestly not up to deconstructing it.

Hope you'll forgive me when you can. I am sorry I disappoint you.

love
Hops

Hi Lighter,

Are you talking to me?

No, Gabben.  I was posting to Lupita.

[Lupita]

Sorry for being stubborn. I am sorry I made you apologize. I am sorry I wanted to make you feel bad. I hope I was not usccessful and you are just trying to be condescendent. I am not really trying to make you feel bad. I just wanted to have a voice. I am sorry. Thank you for being my friend. I know you will tresspass my boundaries again, it is your personality. But now that I know we are equal, I will not get offended again. Thank you, God bless you.

Doggone it, I am not trying to be condescending, Lup!

sheesh. I am half-senile from Ambien and can't remember each mistake I make!

love you back (I do) but I am going to take a break for a while from engaging.

Hops
