Who do you have to talk your heart out to in real life?

@PhoenixPhail then you came to the right place ~ lots of wonderful people here you can talk to:)

@Tumbleweed I have to be extremely careful what I tell, and to whom. In the past, when I took a big chance and dared to open up to someone who assured me there would be no judgment or criticism, there was nothing but judgment and criticism. My information was misinterpreted and rumored, and I lost many long-time friends over it in our, then, mutual circle, along with many others.

I have huge trust issues, anyway. That incident didn't help anything. I'm not willing to go through anything like that again. So, I'll post things here that have nothing to do with my personal life and problems. With as scared and reactive as people are, it's too easy for them to conjecture the worst possible case scenario their fear leads them into, and to use against me any negative thing they think they know about me. Then, spread their beliefs to their like-minded friends.

Talking about your true feelings and circumstances here is inviting people to OWN you. I'm not for sale. I'll continue sharing information about myself with my therapist and my ACA members. But not here. Not anymore.

@PhoenixPhail I'm so very sorry that happened to you. I truly am 🫂

@Tumbleweed Thank you. 🫂 I wish people were independent-thinking enough to check things out for themselves, rather than taking someone else's word as fact and running with it.

@PhoenixPhail I know exactly what you mean. It's very hurtful. And so unfair.
