i honestly didn't have any idea of what to call this as a subject... so just went with the above...
anyway a lot of you know or may have noticed that i have been feeling just a bit fragile lately, whether it has been the subject of feeling comfortable about being a larger man in swinging circles... or knowing what happened to my friend in the crash a few weeks ago (the people who were at blue's party will know the details) and it has really made me re-evaluate a lot of things.....
I am a shy person by instinct and really need to get to know people before i even dream of opening up, the best way i have heard it being described as is being an "introverted extrovert" and being honest in the last few weeks i have been posting less because for everything that has happend i do feel like an outsider looking in...
and for the first time in my time being here it got me thinking "is swinging heaven really for me?"
i came to the conclusion that would miss you all if i didn't go to the parties and the munches, and cutting off talking to the faboulous people i do via pm was never an option i was considering...
but i am not going to talk much in the forums in the near future.. only if i really do have something to say that i feel will make a difference or give someone a different perspective in a subject....
why??? because at the moment i need to find me.. i suppose you could call this my first "mid life crisis" ... i am not flouncing, i have seen what that kind of ridicule can do to people and it is not nice... but by doing it this way i can just tell everyone....
if there is anyone who wants to keep in touch me via pm i would love that.....heck anyone who wants my mobile number can have that as well....
i will be back in the forums regually again at some point.... just when i am at peace and comfortable with myself, then i won't feel as if i am cheating you by seeing the real me

Good luck mate; you take care of yourself.
We'll be looking forward to when you feel well enough to return again...
Well Sean - you really are a top bloke. I think many people find this site certainly takes their journey through life on an interesting turn. I can completely relate to your decision to take stock of your situation and see where you are going.
I really wish you well and look forward to seeing you back posting again, when the time is right.
Cheers
Ash
Sean, sorry to hear you are feeling this way but I have noticed you have not been at your best when I have seen you recently. Thank you for expressing how you feel for the is almost exactly how I am at the moment. Think I must be on my Nth mid-life crises. Understand your need to go away and find yourself. A break is good. When you do return we'll be here to welcome you back!
All the best mate!

remember where we all are, and come back soon.
okay...apology time! i think i scared a few people with the last message and that was the last thing i meant to do......
so just to say that i am going to the states for a few days over xmas to see mate in the car crash....i think that will put my mind at ease.....
i am still going to all the parties/munches that i have my name down for.....you bloody can't get rid of me that easily.......
thank you to all the people that pm'd me...

Sean,
I've only met you face to face once, & we didn't get much time to chat but I certainly hope to do so in the not to distant future. At the Teeside Social last night, lots people said some really nice things about you. As others have said, we all need time away to think from time to time but this place would not be the same without you. As far as I am concerned, you are an integral part of the scene in this region & I know many other people feel the same way.
