In fact I had a similar experience last week, only it wasn't being blocked from a Twitter feed (I'm still twitter illiterate) It was someone in a group presentation I gave asking how we finance our child's health ccare. You should have heard the Twitter feed in my head: <br /><br />He's criticizing what I'm doing!<br /><br />He thinks I'm sucking the system dry!<br /><br />He thinks I should have let my child go!<br /><br />He thinks I should take her off the ventilator right now!<br /><br />He wants me to take her off the ventilator right now while he watches!<br /><br />It spun totally out of control by the time I got home and stayed out of control for a couple of days.<br /><br /> ... which is one of the reasons your panel on depression gave me the courage to post about depression and anxiety on my blog ... even though it scares me ... even though my in-laws read it ... even though I live in Happy Valley.<br /><br />Tonight after the kids go to bed, that's my task. <br /><br />I think I'm going to have an anxiety attack thinking about it.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524505804284030807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-70196321981768340882010-05-19T09:36:05.396-06:002010-05-19T09:36:05.396-06:00I get this.

There can be so much room for misunderstanding online, so many hurt feelings over nothing. Offline I'm not insecure about my friendships, but there is something about friendships online that seems to make me fifteen again, with all of my fifteen year old insecurities.TheOneTrueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152442732262673983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-2286063923216966212010-05-18T21:34:59.242-06:002010-05-18T21:34:59.242-06:00I block people just to mess with them and then I t...I block people just to mess with them and then I tell them it was a Twitter tech problem.

Totally.<br /><br />And also, I accidentally blocked a gazillion people who I didn't mean to block and now I writhe hoping that not one of them tries to follow me and has hurt feelings when they see "this person has blocked you" I have no idea how to fix it, so I just worry about it.

I had just about the same kind of day, starting late Friday, and going into Saturday.<br />I'm still a bit drained, feeling like I need a day off.<br />I don't tweet, and now I wonder if I ever will. Just one more place to find rejection. No thanks. My real world does enough of that for me.<br />Like you, I know I have a good life, a great family. Sometimes, though, the "mean reds" take over.bookettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639285974211866080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-13193807809827578922010-05-17T11:07:30.701-06:002010-05-17T11:07:30.701-06:00Ug, how stressful!

I was blocked from someone's twitter feed; only difference was I wasn't entering a giveaway, I just wanted to follow her. It really bothered me for a few days. I emailed the person and it turned out to be a twitter mistake (though I guess there is always the fear that maybe she just said that to be nice :P). <br /><br />But now, I can't even remember who it was....

It is so annoying.<br /><br />I think you are awesome...I seriously do...and I think you have a wonderful family. I am glad that I know you...and I appreciate who you are and what you stand for.

I think we all have moments like this but not everyone is brave enough to write about them.<br /><br />For me it was when a colleague I respected a lot dropped me on LinkedIn. It took me a long time to get over that. But just today at lunch I told someone about it and I said, "That's okay, not everyone has to like me." And I surprised myself when I realized I really meant it. <br /><br />But I hope you like me. Even though we've never met. :)Melanie Gaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288533681881691687noreply@blogger.com
