Thst Awkward Feeling

[baby frost]

Does anyone ever feel like they did their best to contribute to something just for someone else to say that it was basically pointless and you feel like garbage because you thought you were being productive

Yep. Been there many times.

Yes and no. I feel I do my best to contribute, although I will post ancedotes and side, (on or slightly off topic,) stories, if I feel it might be helpful or interesting to others.

No on the garbage thought. This is an internet forum/message board. Most any criticizms, (and praises,) are looked at, accepted, rejected, answered or ignored and I move on. There is no reason to "feel like garbage" if one has posted their opinions/thoughts. That's what this dirverse life entails.

Don't let a little thing like that get you down, the net is full of experts that know nothing about what they are talking about.

When you have something to say, say it and don't look back.

Yep- and that's why I quit saying things to certain people and in certain places I will never forget the line from Rod Stewart on "Young Turks" : "There ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening (so we just ran away)" . I've quit speaking to those with closed minds Might as well talk to a wall and the wall makes a better, more intelligent listener than those people anyway

Well, not the latter part normally, because there is hardly anything that is pointless, especially in my line of work. If you are actually managing to be an overachiever though, you should be proud of yourself. That said, there are priorities that come first, and maybe that is what triggered such a cold, over-the-top response from who ever told you this.

Ah, is that why we have not talked for awhile, lol, just joking.

It's not the only reason I stop talking to people- I just didn't have much to say and figured I'd bore you to death You're a lot more fun alive, so.......
