Unsure of what to do


Well, I am at a crossroad. First of all, I love this site, and have enjoyed working on various teams and projects. However, there have been major issues as of late, and I am considering something that I never thought I would, having my account disabled. This is not a decision I take likely, and I won't make it for at least a week. Right now I am feeling disenchanted due to some recent personality clashes, and while I still care about all involved, it's becoming too much to take. I am very sensitive, and I am known for seeking acceptance in order to feel secure. Thus, repeated instances of situations where the opposite happens, I become depressed and start isolating myself from others. I've been through a lot in my life, and it's reaching a point where I can't deal with much of anything beyond my day-to-day life in the real world, and even at that, I often have to hide my true feelings, something that is emotionally and physically draining. I'm not saying that people aren't real. They obviously are. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. I do know that I am feeling totally lost right now, and I just have to pull away for at least a while.

Tim,

 

If you need a break, I suggestion you just take a break. Many people step away from GA for varying amounts of time for various reasons.

 

Having your account disabled seems more a dramatic statement to try to get the attention of those you're having a personality clash with.

 

You and the clashees all probably need a break from each other. Take your break (but leave your account enabled) and come back when your ready. GA should still be here (assuming there are enough PCMs :P ). And if you decide that you're mentally better without GA, then your account will just remain inactive. But don't close the door to something that you love prematurely and rashly.

 

Take Care,

 

Vic

It really is a serious consideration, Vic. Again, I'm waiting a week before I decide.

If you would like an impartial party to listen, I'm quite willing. You can PM me if you desire.

 

I know you don't know me at all, but that would be the beauty of it. You can omit details if you wish.

I never doubted you were serious. Anywho, I hope you make a good decision that brings you peace of mind.

Now Tiger, don't be a pussy. :o OK, I don't mean that, but I couldn't resist the kitty play. Don't leave me all alone, the only toothy feline in a world of goats!

 

Seriously, I have to second what Vic said. Disabling your account makes it seem like your "taking your ball and going home." Stepping back and leaving it there is a more, if you will, mature option, and even better, you keep your options open. And that's always a good thing. And like Dion said, I'm here to listen if you need a furry ear.

Well Mark, I just don't like conflict, and I feel uncomfortable right now. I'm a very sensitive guy, and I take it to heart. It doesn't look like resolution is possible, so that is why I'm thinking about leaving.

Ummm, can I ask how many of the 6,372 members of GA you're having unresolvable conflict with?

 

If it's less than 100, well that's a silly reason to leave GA. GA's a big place, you don't have to interact with those you don't get along with.

 

Accept that some people don't like you (i'm sure there are over 100 who don't like me :lmao: ). You can co-exist with them on GA.

Please stay. I loved your posts. And I love your poems.

Dear Vic,

 

Of that I am certain.

 

Rainbow Hugs and Hershey Kisses!
