Apology required...........

No apology needed.

Wow, the members here are amazing. I'm completely thrown. I was never popular/liked (or so it seemed) growing up and it has made me wary, insecure, and always as if I'm not good enough. Like Deer said I'm not used to it.

Everyone supports one another and there are some friends who don't post often but are always willing to chat are in IMHO up there in the likes category. (Blwnawy and Don I include you

).

Linking arms a rather embaressed KP

It's been awhile since I've looked at this thread. It's nice to see everyone come out and honor those who have been recognized.

I wasn't sure how I felt about some of these features but figured it was part of this site and I would see how things went. It occurred to me that there must be a reason for some of it, like possibly a self-esteem building and encouraging one to become apart of something as opposed to getting lost in the corners and eventually out the door. You can participate however you wish or not but the thing I'm finding actually quite useful is being able to put the post with the name and therefore the pieces together some of their history and/or lives in getting to 'know' them a bit.

It's very difficult for me (maybe for others as well) to do that. It's like I have face recognition issues so when there are no faces

well, let's just say, it's even more difficult. The alerts help to remind me of posts I've made or answered (without having to tag each one which I don't like doing) and let me know whether or not I'm making any sense or not - yes, I worry worry worry about that. It's nice to know if I have made an error as well. However, the best part is seeing that someone may just like what you had to say.

Could I get on without this? Of course, I've done it my whole life! Do I need it to get by? Never have and not one of you has ever paid my rent, ran interference for a punch, or helped me get through my life. I take care of me but having the opportunity to be within a community where there's 'Trophies' given for posting! I think that's way cool!!

At the same time I would like to state I wouldn't think of pulling down my fists long enough to be genuinely touched by the pain or struggles of others here working through traumas only to babble off disingenuous garbage, what an insult to the bravery I note on this forum. I just felt the need to put this out there and quite honestly I choose to take what is given here to help me along the way if it fits. I want to support and be supported if that's possible. I have been doing this on my own for a very long time. There is a strong spirit of wanting recovery - right up my alley!!

Well, done to those I see here each day lifting spirits and encouraging others to keep going. Nicolette and Anthony, (whoever else I'm leaving out) I like this idea. It gives me a chance to be say "YEAH!! WTG!!) and to just feel good for some people I feel like helped me along the way.

Thanks, Nicolette. I manage to convince myself that everyone hates me and is conspiring against me a lot of days, so evidence to the contrary is always appreciated, lol.

The software and interface on this site really is fantastic. I love all the features, especially the 'like' button and the built-in instant messaging. Wish my work-related forums would use a format this sophisticated!

 

[Nicolette]

I just wanted to bring this thread back to light.... it seems the most liked members are the ones supporting others, especially in trauma diaries of sufferers and, as Anthony and I agree, they are good members to have. There are also a couple who bring good humor as well.

From the top 16 liked and in no particular order:

• Anni - 2691 posts, 2242 likes
• Intothelight - 1759 posts, 2160 likes
• BloominWinter - 1397 posts, 1913 likes
• KP the nut - 1328 posts, 1886 likes
• Deer_in_headlights - 998 posts, 1347 likes
• Heather - 958 posts, 1347 likes
• Froggie - 549 posts, 818 likes
• Pottershand - 686 posts, 777

Well done members.

And also well done to all those others who came across from the old software and lost all their "thanks"and who regularly contribute positively.

Thanks also to the Moderators who freely give their time as while they don't get as many likes, the forum would not run so well without them. :tup:

 

[anni]

It kind of gives me the willies to 'like' this, but did so because of the Moderator thing. I haven't checked the stats on 'likes' there but as far as sheer hours ( which don't show ) they sort of blow even the most well intended of us out of the proverbial water. It's one thing to log in and out at will, responding by choice to whatever, but quite seriously, can't imagine HAVING to sort through each and every post by each and every member while at the same time being conversant with figuring out how to use the softwear. I'm probably a little more impressed than most with THAT, having actually taken a small course and still being quite, quite lost but still- whew. It's also by choice the Mods do this, with nothing to gain except perhaps knowing this forum is something worthwhile and needed here in the chaos.

So Thank You, very, very much.

You all so deserve it- such sweet and wise people
:tup:
Thank you :)

 

[BloomInWinter]

I'm so honored to be mentioned with that group!

...awwww.....shucks!

Hi guys, I'm really new here, but I wanted to say that recognizing these members is great, because everyone on this thread has somehow positively affected me, and I have infinite gratitude for that.

If I can get really gushy on here, I had a total meltdown a couple of nights ago and was trying to remember what members (I get this a lot from people, so sorry if I can't pull the exact names) had told me about comforting my own inner child. I tried to do this mentally, but suddenly the image I was experiencing was my inner child being covered by the love I get from all of you. BloomInWinter, Jadebear, KP, Heather, ITL--the lot of you, really, were all there in this amorphous and calming sensation of love that wrapped around that sad little girl and made me feel able to go to sleep.

Jadebear, even though you expressed confidence in who you are, I want to make sure you remember to speak kindly to yourself. I felt stung reading that most of your posts are garbage. I love hearing your words of wisdom and comfort, and I would never call any part of you or your doings garbage.

Okay, done gushing. I guess if anywhere, this is the thread to do it?

 

[ISupportHer]

A sincere Thank You to all those that contribute to this forum! A special recognition from me too, to all the above, who go above and beyond, to communicate with, and thus help, so many members!

ISH

Thanks for the mention, I don't know why I deserve it. Lots of members have helped me and I'm pleased if my rambling responses and posts have helped others.

I think we are all amazing people
