Hiya Jenn, I find it puzzling how you have come to the conclusion above. Every day I see post after post offering support, comfort, sympathy and helpful advice to those that need it. And when those "ranting" apologize for it they are repeatedly told not to be sorry but that this is what KickAS is for. Quote: I have seen others' postings that consist of long, detailed descriptions of their pain and/or bad days...and have been so discouraged to see that there have been (for example) 36 viewing of the post but only 3 replies. Do any of us DESERVE to be ignored, passed over, or judged as "just another one who complains"??? Quote: I will go as far as to say that anyone who discards another's attempt to reach out and be heard or understood, as "just" a cry for attention or sympathy, needs to rethink themselves and put themselves in the other person's shoes. I think you may be misinterpreting it when there aren't many responses to a post. I personally haven't seen anyone respond to a post here and accuse the writer of cyring for attention or sympathy. There are many reasons why someone might not respond to a post, as some members before me have pointed out. Time & pain are a major influence of course. Some posts can be overwhelming. I have read many like that in the past and haven't replied to some simply because I couldn't think of anything to say that seemed meaningful or adequate. My response seemed pathetic in comparison with what the poor person is going thru. Also, not having AS myself sometimes I feel like I shouldn't respond as I don't really know what it's like. People should post if and when they feel able and not be make to feel that if they don't reply to everyone's posts that somehow they have let the side down. Just my 2 cents, not trying to cause offence but just offering another perspective. I know you meant well by your post. Welcome to KickAS by the way Chelsea Chelsea [Linked Image]
