Oh my dear, I had no idea you felt this way right now. So sorry I have not been around much to lend support. My activity has been spotty and notification game related only lately. Therefore I have missed many posts and I do not have notifications hooked up on friends because of it overwhelming me. I am home sick with a cold now and the only reason I had time to peruse, or be nosey, however you want to look at it, lol.

I hope you know that your friends are here for you. All you need ever do is message me and the next time I check in, I will hunt you down and envelope you in loving hugs!

I also hope you know you are not alone in feeling this way. I feel it too sometimes. My insecurities can kick in and then paranoia. It is easy to feel this way on the internet. I have to remind myself that I should not take things to personally and that there could be a hundred unknown and totally normal reasons someone may seem to be ignoring or slighting and that it probably has absolutely nothing to do with me. I also have to remember that sometimes I, so probably everyone else too, check in here through notifications only when I have a quick minute. This means I miss new postings.

Also, I am still learning how to navigate with friends. In the past few months many have retreated from the boards to message walls. Leaves me feeling lonely out there. There for a bit, I posted every chance I got and then it would seem as if me showing up made everyone scatter. Or my replies seemed to be ignored. So I just quit. I know this is only my own insecurity and I am trying to work on that. I have noticed on notifications, if you click them, it takes you to the last reply of that thread, so unless you scroll back, you miss some replies. I have been less chatty and I have only been replying if I have good info to share. Then real life has got busy, and I am barely here for awhile.

I do not get notifications of friends walls, so unless I go looking, I miss everything there as well. And if I go looking, I feel like a stalker and am never quite sure if I am wanted. I am sure many of the newer people are missing as much, if not more than me. I know I recently explained to a new one how to find different threads on different boards, so they are still learning to navigate as well.

From time to time, like tonight, I do take the time to peruse the walls of my good friends that I have made a connection with and that are special to me in some way. So when I stalk you, it's a compliment! I like to check in every now and again and see how they are doing and if they need anything.

I feel like I am starting to ramble now. Bottom line- you are not alone and I am here for you anytime you need. Hugs and love to both you and Gus!
