I seems harsh that a couple of members are talking about her as if she can't read this thread.You've decided on what she is feeling, despite blanketly ignoring what she's said throughout this entire thread. Stop talking and listen for a second first. It's incredibly distressing, even as an...
Personally I'm reading the that @Notsowild is defensive -it has been pointed out to her in the past and now when she's feeling vulnerable, instead of opening up fearlessly (or at least relatively speaking) she's prefacing the core of the the matter with defensiveness, she now feels that the...
