I hate talking socially on the phone too, @PeppyPatti @Cuddlebear I can relate to being rejected by 'friends'. I got involved with a cult once that encouraged people to leave family and friends behind. After I left, they would have nothing to do with me. It broke my heart to see my small son not understand why he couldn't play with his friends anymore. While I was in the cult all my 'friends' left me as well. I've never felt so alone! Thankfully, that was many years ago and I have finally returned to a mainstream church that I'm comfortable in!

thank you @Mustang67 heres some different ones i hope also remind the good people to back themselves as quite often we take on guily from the ignorant failings of others

@PeppyPatti My daughter lives far away. She’s working nights and at school during the day trying to have enough money for rent and food etc. So it is hard for her to come visit and I’m not well enough to do so. She messages. I’m deaf so can’t hear over phone so I use texts 🙂 I do engage and encourage and support her too. I love doing that as she’s so precious to me.

My friends at least the big majority have really let me down. I don’t ask for much just to message and have a chat about how things are, what they have been upto and a laugh. I think they just want me to support them through rough times but don’t want to do same for me. Through this I’ve learned who my real friends are.

Trauma does make us feel hypersensitive but I think for me people have really let me down. I don’t ask engage and listen to them and provide that emotional support.

We are all different and I’ve found you to be such a kind and generous soul. Phone calls are very hard for heaps of people with trauma and other disabilities too so don’t be hard on yourself. You are doing the best you can.

@heartathome Sounds like you are having a great day! I love 80’s music too! Yes I really want the support button to be working so people know I am supporting them. It just started working for me again now.

I hope the counselling with recovery program goes well. I’ve been doing the other recovery program that doesn’t have the counselling 🙂 It’s really good.

Hello @Cuddlebear my sweet, how are you feeling? It's been really tough for me lately, I had very little sleep last night so I've been resting today, feeling very emotional and fragile. I'm safe and doing my best to keep pushing through.

I laugh my head off on some of your posts too. I’ll tell you next time

• I personally thought that post was very important to @TAB however wasn’t it an arm

   

  AND a hand ?

Ooooh @Bunniekins

look who posted a bunny rabbit !! @Mustang

It’s pretty easy to get hooked isn’t it @heartathome

It wasn’t your fault and I must confess I’ve been so wrapped up in a church many years ago I can see how easy it is

thanks for telling me. I think we blame ourselves if our adult children are not perfect.
it’s not our fault

Yeah I’m on the airplane using good wifi — but like buttons not working nor tagging well
