Here's an emotion that I feel like sharing: It makes me sad when I send a message to someone on CCT ... and they don't reply me me. I take it personally ... it hurts my feelings.

Am I being overly sensitive?

Have others experienced this too?

Doesn't hurt my feelings (anymore). At first I didn't get it, and did wonder about it. Now I realize that not everyone interprets a message, whether here on CCT, or email, or text, as a request for an immediate reply. I really think that it's simply a matter of each individual's take on such a message. Many see them as just an update as to your status.

So, if I really need instant feedback, I get out from behind the monitor and go see the person, or use the telephone. Don't let it get to you. If you expect a response from one of those electronic modes of communication, be explicit about that, or go to voice or face!

Sometimes.... at movies... or song Lyrics... or acts of kindness!
They are tears of JOY. Of course that could be part of my PTSS.
