*shrug*some people will talk to me, others won’t. The main reason I don’t respond too often is that I like to talk to people about stuff, seems like most people aren’t interested.
Heartless, at the risk of sounding patronizing, I just want to let you know I enjoy reading your comments and posts. You always seem to have something relevant to add, and you give me reason to stop and think quite a bit.
I believe that we all want someone to care, but that our expectations for what that care should look and feel like is where we run into problems. In other words, we expect more than other imperfect humans are capable of. I’m learning that it’s about all I’ll ever be able to have to have my goofy cats and a site like this to receive the care I’m looking for, and in this world, that’s probably the best I can do.
I agree – and I believe many more care than we are capable of realizing. But everyone has their own problems and it’s hard to care for someone else perfectly when we can’t even satisfactorily care for ourselves.
regardless, I care & I will listen, even if I do it imperfectly

Not just you, I feel the same way. It’s why I don’t bother posting.
