hi there, I got bored the other night and did some search on some names, it appeared that some of the new folks have posted once or twice or a few times and have not logged back on...
of course, there are many reasons why but IF one of the reasons why is because one felt intimidated... May I just say welcome, to NT... I can't speak for anybody else yet I can assure you that this is a special place... I can also understand being apprehensive and scared...especially if you feel like nobody has answered you. Please know that you are not alone...a lot of us that go to the forums for the first time are always intimidated or scared and if a post goes unanswered, we naturally would feel like nobody is paying us attention and then we would feel like we are being ignored... But that is far from the truth... the truth is that the admin and the moderators here care, the members here care... please don't give up... it takes time sometimes for people to post...and many of us go through cycles where we just don't have it in us to post... I moved a lot when I was a child and I moved a lot when I was an adult...and I, just like "you" always felt out of place whenever I would go to a new school or a new place. And I would feel like I was OUT OF PLACE... it's OK to have that feeling...it's OK to feel scared... but you came here for a reason...you are looking for help or answers or support... it's not perfect, but it is as perfect as it can get as internet goes for now.... not all of us may post to you but somebody, somebody will always be here to have shoulders for you to lean on...please don't give up...not on this place, but most important of all, not on yourself... if you feel like this place isn't for you, I sincerely hope you are finding somewhere that you are comfortable with... and if you feel intimidated...I'd like to offer a hand... let me explain why... I have been in this darkness...It is easy to give up, to feel doomed, to feel scared, and to feel alone.... part of it is our own minds playing tricks with us, part of it is something beyond explaining.... I decided a while ago, that I am not just going to be a talker...I want to do something... how would I do this on NT...a place where I've been given so much yet gave back so little... so I want to make you this offer, to anyone that is scared or intimidated to post...please feel free to send me a PM...please know that I care and many here care.... and I might not be able to answer you right away, but I always will... and don't be scared...."YOU" are just important as anybody else.... EVERYONE, EVERYONE, has a right in this world, to live, to voice, to be scared and intimidated... and EVERYONE, needs a shoulder to lean on... Don't give up.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ how to send a PM just click on my name: on the mid left corner, you'll see "send message" click on that and then click on "send a private message to blah blah blah" it'll take you to a page that will look like you are sending an email...just type it out, and hit send...

LOL) and we (the community) DO care... it's ok to take baby shy steps to post... but please DON'T give up if you don't get any response the first few times... btw, I am moi, nice to meet you.
