Thank you, and it's nice that I was able to put a face to the name successfully - Thank you, stroke-enhanced memory!
Sympathy is a funny thing. I'm happy to receive it, so long as I'm not getting used to it, or waiting for it. I think that's one of the problems, people find that if they troll for sympathy they get it, it's an easy form of attention-getting.
So what you then get from people is post after post talking about how dreadful their life is because of this addiction to sympathy, but it starts to become self-fulfilling prophecy - because all they write about is how awful life is, that's all they end up seeing in their lives.
I try to write the truth about how I'm feeling. If I'm broken, I say that. If I'm horny, I say that. If I'm pissed off with the people who want to run big cons just for the sake of big cons... well, look forward to an equally big rant in 100 days at some point *grin*
My life's good, overall, but I'm broken enough at the moment that I'm actually really grateful for the kind thoughts of others, way moreso than normal, so thank you :)
