I don’t like to speak up, but this time I have to.
A couple of weeks ago I joined this forum. I am terribly shy and I am afraid to share my real problems with other people. When I introduced myself at the forum I told a little bit about myself, one of the things I mentioned was that I don’t have friends and that this made me feel very lonely after my divorce 6 months ago. LonelyGirl gave me the advice to enjoy my freedom and go out with friends. I was completely surprised at this. Does she really listen, does she really care or does she just want to hear herself talk? When I read several threads, I became more and more surprised at the number of trivial, superficial advices that were given.
However, unlike a lot of you, Aaron caught my attention as he seemed really interested. So I contacted him privately. This may surprise you ConcernedGuest, LonelyGirl and other people, but Aaron really listened. I didn’t come forward in the beginning, but he was patient. When necessary he asked questions. I didn’t always like what he said, but I had to admit there was truth in it. He never pitied me, and that was what I really needed. In fact he made me talk & talk & talk. You see, ConcernedGuest, I learned to trust him and I shared a lot of very personal information with him. We don’t always agree, but that doesn’t matter.
Thanks to Aaron I feel so much better now. No, my problems aren’t solved, but being able to talk about them, trying to find out what caused them, helps so much. It’s the first step.
I am so fed up with a couple of you people.

....The way you treat people you would never earn a persons trust to the degree where they would be willing to share such information with you...
