Sometimes, I don't comment because I so completely agree with what the person is saying, and their openness is so overwhelming, that to comment just feels...trite, or something. Like, what more could I possibly add to that? <br /><br />You bring up a very good point about how supportive words can even be worse at times. That's such a funny concept to most but it's true and I appreciate that someone else understands that. <br /><br />I enjoy all comments though here! Well, you know, except for the bad ones. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978106493173201688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716266031006082752.post-41897037866324490792012-05-22T00:05:04.230-04:002012-05-22T00:05:04.230-04:00The amount of support I get seems to be dependent ...The amount of support I get seems to be dependent upon whether people agree with me about something or not. One entry and one instance of disagreement and they disappear.<br /><br />*****<br /><br />I am sad if people place you in so tight a place, so unwilling for your thoughts to be separate from theirs. It seems something to celebrate, the other-ness of humans (especially kind humans...the nasty ones can keep their thoughts to themselves, or so we wish).<br /><br />Do you ever feel like this? <br /><br />Sometimes I stop commenting because I feel I am treading on sacred ground. <br /><br />It is not nothing to say, but feeling so acutely that saying too much (even supportive words) can sometimes be worse. It is a weird kind of strangled. <br /><br />I don't mean that I have ever felt that way here. Just in general; I start to fear that I am "talking too much" by keyboard, and that shuts up the words. <br /><br />It typically has very little to do with what a post does or does not say, or with the level of agreement. I do not mind reading thoughts that are not my own. I expect them. <br /><br />Maybe no one else feels this...<br /><br />But I so appreciate your thought-painting. Your other-ness is fine and dandy by me, whatever shape it may take.<br /><br />Cathy in MissouriGroveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867095709948739457noreply@blogger.com
