Morning, how's your day going so far?

A bath and an early night for me tonight,I've been awake since half four this morning.

Don't blame you @Teigr

@Hannah_Scope @Cher_Scope how do I delete my account please? I really don't want to be here anymore. I have had a lot of trouble in various places with feeling like I belong somewhere and here seems to be no different. I am so tired of having to defend myself constantly from people who just seem to think I'm a ****. Maybe I am. Everyone seems to think there is something wrong with how I express myself at any rate. I am just tired and upset. I've had enough.

@Ada this made me cry. Thank you for being so kind. I just don't know what to do.

What has hurt you so much. I never cry because many years ago I cried so much until I couldn't cry again. It's true. But you feeling as you do has really upset me. And I honestly believe will upset others on here. Please please stay 

I think it's that instead of being asked about my intent etc. it was just assumed and a judgement was made without knowing me. And it being over something so petty is ridiculous. It was not a big deal to me but now it has become really upsetting because I have been branded unkind with no thought to how that make me feel. I think a few pages back was an overreaction and unfair but unfortunately it happens to me a lot because people think being direct is being unkind. So I think I have just resigned myself to being misunderstood and labelled as a result. Oh well. We're all going through something I suppose. It's just compounded by this I think. I just find it really difficult to exist in these sorts of spaces because you can't convey tone. I don't know. I just feel like a bad person.

@JoOfVengerberg you are not a bad person these things often happen as you say tone is not readable in typed words 

There is no reason to delete your account maybe take a break for while stay in the background 

Everybody's contributions are valid and welcomed 

Both yourself and @66Mustang are valued members on the community and would hate to see anyone leave

Yes I agree everyone's contributions are valid. Since you are anxious @66Mustang I suppose I should make it obvious. I was not being 'short' with you. I was just talking. I wish you had just asked me what I meant instead of assuming. You apologised when you didn't need to because it wasn't important. I was just making a general point about people affording hobbies. As for my trip, it was incredibly draining and also partially PhD work as I was seeing another writer talk about their craft. It wasn't just 'oh I'll pop out for a holiday.' I've never been able to do that in my life, but you don't know that. Please just ask me for clarification next time instead of making me the bad guy. Thank you.

@JoOfVengerberg as people have said you and @66Mustang are both valid members here. It's a shame that a misunderstanding has made you feel you want to leave, hopefully you stay.

I just learned the upset. I don't believe @66Mustang meànt to upset you. @JoOfVengerberg you are both so lovely. 
When I first joined I thought @poppy123456 had a go at me and said I was leaving. After being asked to stay I got to see how amazing @poppy123456 is. I admire her loads. And lucky for me I stayed. I have found so much Trusted Friendships 

I don't doubt it, Ada. I'm just hurt is all. If it was isolated maybe it would be water off a duck's back but about 6 months ago I had 3 friends tell me exactly what they thought of me and none of it was good. I am struggling with carrying around their words, such as I am only in friendships for clout etc. I don't know where it came from. So something like this feels like it hits much harder.
