Hey prog, I haven’t seen any of your posts until now and I’m sorry you haven’t found help here. Not everyone does, but if you stick around you might find 1 or 2 friends.
I understand the desire to delete your account. If SP had a “delete account” option I probably would have done it. Sometimes you just want to erase all traces of yourself. Next best thing is to delete all your posts one at a time, but that can be a pain in the ass.
Totally off topic, but I saw you’ve been playing guitar for 5 years and have the username “progmessiah” …ever get into Yes/Steve Howe stuff? Good for the soul.
Anyway, I’m hoping you stick around. From what I’ve read you’re a very interesting person, and a lot of the issues you’ve talked about resonate with me. Here’s wishing you a good Mood For A Day…
After reading just a little of your posts I guess I only have one question and one suggestion.
Q: What would you like people to say to you on your comments? How would you prefer people to respond to your posts?
Suggestion: Stick around and keep sharing your own opinions. Join in on conversations that others are having. I don’t know your whole story but maybe your not making friends because you are waiting for others to come to you, and you don’t like what they come at you with? Don’t be affraid to tell a joke every now and then, show your personality, it’s easier for people to remember you and your feelings when you post. You might get better results. Talk about more than just your feelings from time to time, sometimes (as a reader) when I see a person only writes sad posts I tend to skip them especially when it’s not a tragic story of death and serious misfortune. When people are suffering physically it tends to make “other” posts just seem like temporary complaints or phases.
Ok so maybe that was a bit more than I had planned on.
I’m not looking for anything specific, sometimes I just need to be reminded that others know what it’s like to experience what I have gone through. At my high school (all-girls and Catholic), many people there are naïve and not the most free-thinking, meaning they just go with whatever their parents or teachers say. It also ruined my chances of believing in God, after all the loss I experienced in 2011. Some kids at school have lost parents or siblings, but only a small number. Those losses were taken very seriously, while mine were seen as something very easy to get through. I’m just trying to see if anyone actually will read my story and, hopefully, gain a little inspiration from it. It’s a bit of an “It Gets Better” story. I also wrote a short story called “The Haven,” which symbolizes all the tragedy I have been through, and how I got to where I am today. After everything that happened, I needed a reason to be whole again. I lost a whole chunk of my family and it was awful beyond words. Worst part was that few people understood, or at least pretended to.

I love Yes! I’ve seen them twice, including this year for my birthday! So happy you mentioned them. Totally made my day 🙂

Hey prog, I’m so happy you decided to stick around! Seeing Yes on your birthday, what could be better?? 🙂
Love early 70s progressive rock. Now I’m thinking of the first King Crimson album. 🙂
