These forums bring me great pain.

Every heated discussion causes me to face the deep self-hatred within myself, to face great shame and a chance to release myself from dependency on social approval.

Thank you. I will keep trying my best to heal and better serve all of you.

It's good that you are learning about and working on yourself but please don't be too hard on yourself mate.
If I've said anything which has seemed too harsh let me know because I really do say a lot of things in the spirit of sass lol we all got our distortions.

seeking social approval is super common it's basically what one of the the biggest websites in the world (facebook) caters to, nothing to be ashamed of.

One love man, your service is appreciated. And for what it's worth, it's been a pleasure growing alongside you.

I'm with you, I know exactly what you mean.

But no reason to feel bad, you're one of the reasons why I enjoy reading this forum so much and also an inspiration for myself. So please continue like this... =)
