I think I know what you mean about feeling left out.
I was in a little internetgroup a while a go. There was one person who upset me time and time again for a period for almost 13 months. When I vent with some people (about six people who I thought I could trust)I was the bad guy. Didn't mean something bad by venting but I needed just somebody to tell about my (hurt) feelings.So I left the group by myself because I thought it was better for the group. Never should think about the group first but was better If I would think about me! I'll never join another internetgroup then this quiltingboard. Maybe I have to give it a try and join the guild(irl) who has local sections. I don't know, it's still upsetting me very much.
I did meet a woman without her own home(she do have a place to live anyway(Burglar-proof)). We do some quilting together and she is trying to share some internetgroups and other groups. Should I warn her of just let it go?
Quilt4you we love to have you here on this board, were are so many people who like you and love your compaignionship(i don't know this word, sorry). BIG HUG!!!
