I did get it, and appreciate the response. I guess for me it does feel like a competition, and I have this ridiculous need to be liked..not in any particular kind of way, but I want to be thought of with a smile, ya know?
Anyways, I got over my fear and posted anyway because I, too, really want to show my appreciation for men putting themselves out there
ICT I honestly do always think of you with a smile.
IACT I have read some of your other posts about the competitive feel to some of the postings in threads and I do feel that I have probably contributed to that feeling at times. Reading what you and others wrote didn't offend me, but it did really make me stop and reconsider my actions.
You have been here off and on for as long as I have. I'm not sure if you remember the "good old days" of ampics where the women really stuck together and were always joking around and flirting either in the general "everyone post your pics here" threads or in some random persons thread that we just happened to invade for the night. I kind of miss that...I miss the girls club and the way we hung out together, stuck up for each other, and had each others backs. However, I never took the time to stop and think about how it looked from the outside. In my mind everyone was included and everyone was welcome. All they had to do was stop in and say hi. But it's never that easy is it? I have been on the outside often enough, in truth I always feel like I'm on the outside looking in. I should have realized that this behavior both then and now would cause people to feel that way.
I know that to most people this is all nothing but a bunch of babble (I'm great at babbling), but I do want to sincerely thank you for making me open my eyes and remember who I am...even here. I appreciate it more than you know. I'm also really proud of you for getting over your fear and posting away. Keep at it and before you know it you'll be unstoppable.
IFCT I have been neglecting my thread. I should probably go post something there.
