Yeah, I know the dilemma. On the one hand, I feel really stupid about replying individually to each one, especially because sometimes I don't really have anything to say. Then I feel like I am monopolizing the boards or something, posting several times in a row. On the other hand, I know that when nobody responds to me, I feel kind of hurt. I try not to take it personally because I'm sure it's not meant that way, but sometimes it's hard not to, when it feels like the whole world is ignoring me. So then I feel bad if I reply to one person and I don't reply to someone else, because then I'm afraid the person to whom I don't respond is going to feel left out. Also, I have a hard time, just mentally, replying to certain things, like when people try to say that there is something good about me, so sometimes I do not reply at all. I feel bad about how people are just trying to be nice to me and I am not even replying to it, but sometimes I just can't.
