I think you worry too much.
Just be yourself, whatever that is at this moment in time. If people are put off because of your 'emotional baggage', then that may ultimately be their loss.
If it wasnt for this site over the last 3 years I think I could of ended up in a straight jacket of despair (can think however of some people who would have just liked to have put my mouth in straight jacket lol). I have opened up on here and shared my emotional baggage in a way I cant with my friends and family.
You are doing fine having seen some of your posts. You are just travelling through a rocky place in life. Its a minor detour and in the near future you will be back on track.
Good luck, keep going, you will get there.
Don't worry, just be yourself. That's who people want to meet. I'm not sure anyone would suggest you pretend to be something your not.
For myself, I've found it really helpful to unload a lot of my baggage here. People have been kind and understanding and have offered some much appreciated help and advice. I don't know how that has affected their view of me as a person but they will have a deeper understanding of where I am emotionally at the moment.
So keep posting the things you want to, don't put on an act.
I stand by what I said earlier in the thread, but can I just add something? Be aware of what you're posting, Ukwineman - if you only post negative moany stuff, people will soon tire of giving you a shoulder to cry on, or to help you. And it makes the forum a very depressing place when all people do is tell us all their woes.
Sorry if that sounds harsh , but it's my opinion. Feel free to rip it to shreds people, if it makes you feel good.
