I’m hoping that I be one of the goddess’s you are referring too, she says, batting her eyelashes! Snicker.. And even though I’m not the god’s to be, I’d like to give my input anyway. This in no way is criticizing or even evaluating your journalizing, but simply my observation of why perhaps you’re receiving or not receiving the comments you desire.
When I read your posts, although I am very interested in the progress you are making or even the struggle you are having, it very much comes off like a science project. Understandably, or so I think, your evaluations are stated as to help Shannon continue and improve his magnificent work. Kuddos!
However, most of us here and in life relate to each other via stories and experience’s. The people in this forum have been an endless tool for me to use to help myself get through some rough patches. When I have an effect that I feel is directly from the sub, I find myself reading through thousands (ok, that just exaggerated but you know what I mean) until I find someone’s story that I can relate to and thus makes me feel normal (for the sake of a better word, cause I can’t stand the word normal!). It’s make me and my emotions feels validated.
I applaud your efforts of hinting to the class that you may need some of your own validation but in life, if you want to meet the person in front of you, you extend your hand and introduce yourself. This forum is basically no different. I do think most of the guys are doing the same program that you are on and when reading your posts, may be shaking their heads in agreement but saying, “yes, awesome, I know how you feel”, can probably get quite redundant.
So my suggestion for you would be to keep giving Shannon what he needs by posting exactly how you are and then maybe writing a separate post under it containing some small story about how the effects of the sub are actually effecting the way you live your life. I have found myself actually signing on to read someone’s post of how it’s going or what happened with last night date, that when they don’t I feel slightly bummed haha. That’s probably neediness in my own sense of needing to hear others stories to know that my life with these subs is somewhat on the right course. But whatever it is, these people have given me a reason to keep continuing to listen when it’s been sometimes very hard to do just that.
So, with that said, please be one of my reasons! I’d be even more interested in hearing your stories, even though I’m not a god!
