Why I respond to some blogs and not others

I come to this site almost daily. I see blogs that seem to pique my interst and others that don't.
I grew up caring about others and when i see hurting I want to respond to let the person know there are ears for listening.
I don't make judgments, I do care about others and want to see happiness here. Its not always going to happen but I feel if I add just my $.02 to the blog maybe it will be a factor in helping the,
Before I respond I see what others have to say if there are other people replying to the posted blog. A few times I have seen answers that really do not pertain to the blog, but I overlook them as those people most likely feel they are contributing.
I still don't have the tenacity to write and without any stic-to it ness I feel my contribution other then adding a story can be to help the person in need of support get encouragement from me.
Most of the time I've been there and done that or I myself am going through a similar crisis at the moment.
The wrong remark can often leave a sour taste especialy if I am identifying with the person as going throught the same stressors. My tag line is be kind to others becasue no one knows what others are going through.

My tag line is be kind to others becasue no one knows what others are going through.

There have only been a few times in my life where I've truly lost it and said something nasty to someone, and I've ALWAYS and very deeply regretted it.

It's impossible to know what the other person's going through, and even if they really deserve what they get back, it's just not in me to give anything but sympathy, or distance if I can't handle the person.

Heh. Sorry, I just wanted to comment on that last part because something kind of clicked when I read it :-) *hugs*

I figured

I figured you didn't respond to mine because you didn't like me.

Writing is what you do when you put pen to paper, being an author is what you do when you bring words to life

I think of you alot

I respond to your blogs quite often. I would love to become online friends with you and possible become phone friends. You have been through a lot and I really feel you need someone who is suppotive of you and accepts you for who you are not what you are.
I've been through rejection, loneliness, discrimination and great sadness.
I got away from those who said they were my friends they were dragging me down and were often the basis of the discrimination.

I am a people person and even though I have combat related PTSD I do my best to help those I know are in a rough spot. Be it with encouraging words or a kind gesture.
Feel free to message me at this site, I look forward to an everlasting friendship.

Is fighting some kind of battle.

missing buttons

Sometimes, especially for blogs, I wish there was just a {Hugs} button. I know I do not have anything meaningful to add, but I still want to express how I feel inside.

Other times, I wish I had a {Thanks} for sharing button for when I have no words at all, but what was written touches me inside.

so {Thanks}
