Looking forward to looking back at old threads, perhaps? LOL

Very cool!

Yes. I have often missed you in your absence... not just upon re-reading this thread. You made an impression on me, and I enjoyed your posts

[Sophist]

I'm stunned and amazed. I have to be honest, I stopped posting here because I asked a question one time and nobody responded and I kinda felt shut out. That was WAYYYYYYY before my actual dx... which, BTW, my boss knows about. He's had a lot of psychology classes, since he studied to be a music therapist. He's very Spectrum-y although he knows nothing about us. LOL he'll learn!

[sistersunshine]

Oooh! Pianos!!

Yes. It's a lovely atmosphere in which to work, surrounded by these gorgeous instruments. Where I have worked up until today is in the "electronics" room, where the old meets new. Right next to that area, in clear view of my workspace, are several stunning antique pianos. I wish they could tell me their stories, the hands that have graced their keys, the places they have been on their journey to where they sit now...

Today the assistant manager called in sick and the new boss kinda made me his right hand. Since I'm good at organizing things, he now has me organizing the back room tomorrow, and wants me to get the whole place shipshape so that everything can be easily found and used. (Unlike now)

It's nice to feel so needed.

I'm stunned and amazed.

I was going to ask 'why?' but then I thought and put myself in your shoes... I suppose I'd be astounded if somebody said that to me also Its true though. I noticed your absense and regretted that you were not around here any more.

I have to be honest, I stopped posting here because I asked a question one time and nobody responded and I kinda felt shut out.

You do realise I'm about to try and find that question now I am very very sorry that you ever felt 'shut out' here. I have a default where I feel the same, I do not expect to be liked and when I am liked I feel like I'm balancing on a wire of the chasm of 'failure and unwanted', bound to fall out of favour sooner or later. I think it dictates some of my responses.

I am really sorry that nobody answered your question. I do not know whether I could have done so but failed you. If I have nothing to say, I tend not to post unless it would be impolite otherwise. Not to criticise Gestalt, but I have read elsewhere that some think us cliquey... I do not think we are, but I accept that we might seem that way to some unintentionally. We are quite a quiet forum.

As far as I am concerned, you were a member that I particularly valued. I felt I clicked with you

That was WAYYYYYYY before my actual dx... which, BTW, my boss knows about. He's had a lot of psychology classes, since he studied to be a music therapist. He's very Spectrum-y although he knows nothing about us. LOL he'll learn!

And to steal from your reply to Sophist...

Sounds like you have a great Boss there and a good job I'm now off to your posting history to see if I can find that question

[Sophist]

Just for reference, I don't want to ever purposefully ignore anyone here on Gestalt.

If I don't reply to a post, it's either because I just can't seem to find anything relevant or interesting to say, or because I don't have the mental energy to reply.

I'm sorry you felt shut out, sunshine. For me, personally, I don't ever want anyone to feel that way here.

[Noctivagus]

I think you have just spoken for every one of all, Sophist

I think it is just that we are so few in number, sometimes we don't fill all the gaps that a larger membership would without even having to try.
