hi witty,
Oh, wow, I'm so sorry you feel that way. Actually I just responded to your other thread, before I even read this one. In my case, the delay was because I can't usually post toward the end of the week or over the weekend, but I have more time at the beginning of the week.
And . . . I'll admit that I'm more motivated to respond to posts by the folks who always/usually respond to mine. I guess there is a bit of a feeling of responsibility to reciprocate there. And also I especially respond to people who talk about things that I can really relate to.
I'm sorry if you feel left out. Speaking for myself, I'm always glad to see your posts, and I'd hate to lose you from this community. I know that it does feel bad when no one responds. I think it happens to most of us now and then. I also feel rejected when it happens, and then I try to remind myself that it's probably not about me. It's hard to see it differently than a conversation, though, where it would be really rude and humiliating if we were to say something important and vulnerable, and then have no one respond.
