Sorrow. We ignore it, it gets worse. We try and deal with it, it hurts. We talk to people about it, we put ourselves on the line.
Whatever you do, you're damned. Or so it may seem to you, standing in it right now.
But you're not.
It's pain, it's yours, and it's real and you are obviously trying to find it a place to expose it and explore it. And for that I give you the big thumbs-up, Anne. Sure, the world doesn't revolve around you, anymore than it revolves around the person who made that comment, or any more than it revolves around me.
(Heh. Although I'd like to think it does, sometimes. :D Just for a little while.)
Now, I'm curious as to whether I know the people you're referring to...but I probably don't need to know.
We've all got our bad points. If the comment box was big enough I'd list all of mine! But then we'd be here all day, and then I bet LJ would eat my comment. It does that...a lot.
Don't stop writing, if it helps. I find writing and RP helps me settle old debts, right old wrongs and scratch the surface of wounds that didn't heal properly. Dig around, get a good old look at it...and the beauty of it is that if you're not ready to look at it, you've only to log off and leave it until you are.
