Actually, Mandy, I have another interpretation:

I'm terribly insecure -- I describe myself as the poster child for insecurity, which surprises many people who don't see that in me. (I hide it well.) I also feel left out at times, here and elsewhere. I feel terrible when I get to feeling that way. And I have a very, very hard time accepting anything like criticism or correction.

You just made a very nice, very understanding, very respectful response to a correction from 10der. Now, admittedly, 10der writes the kindest, most compassionate PBCs I can imagine, she's a great person, with a very great and tender heart. Nonetheless, she's still slapped your wrist, no matter how gently. And your response wasn't to go hide, to hang your head, to explode about it -- you've written back, you've acknowledged and accepted the correction, and you've apologized in case someone else's feelings were hurt.

I'd say you were getting some benefit from being here, if only by seeing that someone can say, "I really like you -- and I don't like that behavior." That's a lesson I've had trouble learning in life, and the few PBCs I've gotten here have maybe helped a bit. Maybe look at the benefits and how Babble makes you even just a little stronger?

I hope this makes sense. I'd hate to see you flutter away.

Peace.
