Kim, I'm sure it's just a coincidence. How about starting a post?

LOL I can't help it Kim. You are cute.

Hmm...further to my writing that Kim, I noticed you DID start a thread. My apologies and I'll go answer it right now LOL

Maybe it seems that way because it just happened several times in a row - easy to feel that way when you are depressed. There is no way to prove one way or the other, why that happened. And when you are depressed, the "bad luck" impression is always going to seem stronger, so it will also seem like it is the right conclusion. Not necessarily.

LOL! I know what you mean. :)

Sometimes when I start discussions, I feel like no one wants to talk to me either.

I can be such a geek sometimes! But at least I can admit it and accept it. ;)

I got really upset last week because for the 4th time I started a post and NO ONE responded! It was on another community...but it hurt.

I would look at you being the last in a line of comments as a GOOD thing. Maybe you are saying it so good that nobody else can top it.:}

About a month ago, I wrote about the same thing in my journal. It seemed like when I posted, a thread would just stop. But that ended and things picked up again. It has to be a coincidence. Don't sweat it.

The thread reply is kind of like normal conversation. One subject just leads to another. "We are all connected in the circle of life." Remember the Lion King.

A thing in life that I noticed is you can vocalize an idea and not until it is someone else's idea does it grow to fruition.

To be blunt, you concern yourself too much with what people think. Just contribute and be honest in your contribution. If people don't like it, so what. At least you were honest.

I agree with Caine897 on the topic of your self-doubts. You're FINE. Try not to worry so much about whether what you say or do is bothering people. That's easier said than done, I know, but try to push those self-doubting voices away when they chime in. And remember, we are all able to speak and communicate, so if you are doing anything that is a bother, someone will probably tell you. It's hard enough being criticized by others, but it's completely a drag to hear it from yourself all of the time.
I for one, am happy that you're here and I'm sure I'm not alone. Just say what you want to say and try to stop beating yourself up.
