I know that "leaving"/"taking a break" posts are sometimes perceived as classic attention getting "ploys" by some. I do not feel I am particularly, or at all, popular here, although that has never been my reason for posting here. My reason was mostly to learn and hopefully grow and start to heal. I also had another reason for starting posting here which I cannot reveal for privacy reasons. I hesitate even to post that much :( I can say with 100 percent honesty though, that it has NOTHING to do with ANYONE here, and it never did.
I don't like feeling that I may be encroaching on someone's safe space. But I am not sure that it is positive to put someone elses possible feelings above my own..... unless they are a close or trusted friend. I have done that before in my life, and when I did that, I was usually rejected anyway, probably because I was not being true to myself and maybe seemed inauthentic (?) I do not know. That is a complete guess.
I am thinking of taking a break as I stated in the title. Maybe for two days, maybe for two months. Whatever.
I am not looking for replies begging me to stay. I would appreciate one or two replies, though, to show I am not perceived as a complete outcast here.
My sincere good thoughts to all,
rainbutterfly
