Hi fellow travelers, I've come to the realization that in order to avoid developing my worst characteristics, it's time to leave the boards. It's been a very helpful stage of my development that has reached and perhaps passed it's prime.
I recognize that I do not posess the patience and gentle speech that might be most beneficial to those who are still mired in the trap. I simply don't have it in me to approach with a thoroughly supportive, empathetic response, perhaps the trait of blunt expression (underlaid by character faults perhaps) is too strong and hard to tweak. I have an aversion to the oft-repeated refrain, and to me, its an indication that it's time to move on. I know what I'll encounter here, day after day. Rather than stay and repeat my admonishments and advice, which generally isn't well received, (and for good reason I suspect, nobody likes a curmudgeon )... I will find some enriching reading material or something that encourages and inspires rather than the same tired dysfunctional parade. Internet forums can be that way, and my own participation is beginning to look like my own dysfunction, lol.
Best to all, and thanks to all! I wish you each well now and in your future!

Thankyou for sharing this part of your life here. I wish you all the best for your next part as well. Your no nonsense, down to earth attitude will be missed.

I've enjoyed your voice here as well, and truly respect the level of self awareness and authenticity in your story. I likely won't delete but take a long absence while I focus on other areas of growth. All the very best to you, and your family!

Thank you introvert for your ability to speak truth…I will admit that I was not always able to hear it that way….probably because my mom possesses the same no nonsense approach. But as I have healed the insecurity in me…it has made me appreciate my mom and by some default you better. You will be missed.

I'll really miss your posts! I feel you've done more good than harm, truly.
Whenever you got a little harsh with me, I told myself this: We often are harshest with the people who remind us most of ourselves. As someone with insecure wiring, it can be emotional reading about the experiences of others, & sometimes it's hard not to want to grab people and just shake some sense into 'em!!
I totally get where you're coming from wanting to put energy elsewhere. I've been feeling same about a different forum I'm on, perhaps I'll follow your lead there.
I thank you for your time and energy here not just on behalf of the board, but on a personal level. Namaste.
