Run. Unless you are part of a group that no one else can get in do not come here. If you think you will be accepted, you are wrong. That is my experience here.

@Lauren63 I am sorry that you do not feel supported here. I wonder if you would reconsider condemning the subcom in the forums.

You told us of your background of being neglected by your family and so not getting immediate attention is probably very rough for you to handle. I feel sad that you are not happy here. I am wishing for the best outcome for you.

@Lauren63

Lauren, not feeling accepted is such a terrible feeling, we are here to support you and want you to feel safe, loved, accepted. I am so sorry that you feel like an outsider, you are important. We all have our individual personalities and struggles too, I hope so much that you find the right group here. heart

@amiablePeace77 Are you able to be part of the discussions? I am not. That was one of the reasons I wanted very much to be here. The 35 + chat room is locked unless you have so many badges or whatever. I dont want to talk to teens. They have no idea what I deal with. 50 + do. I am at a place that I just wanted to be understood. And no I didnt need it instantly. Do not assume that. But you only get 1 chance to be at the beginning of something. I was trying to do that. You all in the discussions are getting to know each other. That is great. That was what I was trying to do. I hope everyone here now has an idea of me. Sorry to be so off putting. I have a horrible temper. And I am alone. I only wanted to be a part. From the beginning. Sorry for going on. I am going to cry now. Gotta go.

@amiablePeace77I will be an outsider again. That was what I was trying to avoid. You all have great discussions and experiences with 7cups. I mean no bad feelings I only wanted to belong. Sorry to all that I offended.

@soulsings You are trying to placate me. If that was available why was it not offered at the beginning? Take care.

@Lauren63 We only started discussions for 2 weeks. I am trying to accomodate the needs of all the team members of which you are one. Others also need that time because they work. Fortunately I am able to schedule that in. The leaders of the subcom work to keep this community going, but I am doing as much as I can each week and still stay in a calm state of mind. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

@soulsings I was just trying mindfulness. Looking at it(as much as I can), I assumed you just didnt want me in the discussions. I know now that was wrong. You are trying to accommodate people with things going on in their life. This was probably the best mindfulness tape I have ever listened to. Im really sorry. I will go now as assume you will not reply tonight. I will rethink whether or not I should be at 7 cups right now. Hope you have / or had a good day.

@Lauren63 sorry for the slow response. I am so glad you enjoyed a mindfulness tape. I find them very calming and relaxing. When I am lonely it helps me feel more connected.

As far as staying here and in 7cups that is your choice. If you asked for an opinion I would say stay because you have already found people that accept you. That may not be the case other places. But the decision is yours.

Good night. Getting late for me.

I just joined this month. I was hesitant to, as I'm under the targeted ages but some in this community were really welcoming. I found due to illness my body felt like it aged fairly rapidly within a few years. So in some ways I can relate to this age group on particular topics better than to some my own age. On other topics I might be learning more than relating. Hopefully there will be some who are patient if I have questions!
