... I was reading something somewhere on this site and came to the realization that for many people on DS there is little on the outside.
I always wondered why people were so easily offended or were concerned that they were being offensive on this site, and now I think I get it.
For many this site is the end all be all, this is where you have your friends and where you find solace and comfort and peace, and for many they have no other place that they find these much needed essentials.
I felt guilty of having a life outside of this site when I realized this...
Sadly, because of this I now feel a sense of detachment even from the friends I have on this site.
All this, to say that I feel detached from the world, but because I have friends and a life aside from this site I now feel detached from here as well.
This is not meant to be offensive in any way, as a matter of fact the ability to feel a part of something has always eluded me, and I wonder if I am the only one who has noticed this...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
it's because i have no other life.
I have an outside life. problem is none of the people I know understand what it is like. so when I want to discuss things like BP and meds It is like I am talking to a brick wall.

I don't think that people don't have friends outside this site I just think that b/c it is annonymous, osmetimes things are said that we wouldn't say to pwople face to face. It's just a way to vent. Some just have more hostility than others whether they are right or wrong.
I don't agree with what I have been reading. Some people don't have friends outside of this site.
but i am strangely attached to my DS friends...
No kitty, MY POT PIE! lol
