It was I who applied it to Babble as well. But I think I'll stand by that. (warm smile)
Don't think I don't remember all those times in Open where you give support and don't ask for any, even when I know you could probably use some.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, either way. I have a very very very dear Babble friend who took close to a year before mentioning that anything might possibly be less than perfect with her. :) I love her dearly. And I have friends I love dearly who are more comfortable asking for help.
I think I'm just channeling my therapist a lot lately. He always tells me that to get the rewards of intimacy I enjoy with him, I have to take the risks of intimacy I take with him. In the rest of my life. I never know whether he's on or off base. I did take a risk that paid off once. But in general I'm rather cautious about taking risks IRL.
P.S. I'm glad our offline contact helped you feel at home in Babble. I know you helped me so much when I've had troubles. It's nice to know that I can help you as well.
