Not Me...Ever part 2

[TrentC]

Yes. I've only been on a few weeks more than you and I feel like a veteran. It's interesting watching people evolve the way I've had to ... and then read the threads that have been going on for three years and realize I still have a ways to go.

It's one of the reasons why so many of us start throwing out "What 180s are you doing? Have you dropped the rope? What about getting a life?" to new people as they come on -- it's kinda like triage.

I'm also beginning to understand why people take breaks from the site for a few days; some people's stories are so painful, or close to our own, or frustrating to read, that it starts sucking our own energy away.
