I like when new people join. It gives fresh perspective and personality to the coffee room. Sometimes people make comments and I have nothing further to add, so it may look like their post has been ignored, when in fact, it hasn’t. I find the coffee room addictive because I really enjoy reading everyone’s posts. (Aries: you have so much to say, so much life experience and knowledge/chochma, you might not know how much your posts help people here. The way you handle hurts also helps me learn).
I felt like that (like you) on several occasions, especially when the thread “list your favorite posters” came up. I’m not so resilient to list my own name, and wondered if others found me to be too lectury and a “know it all”. I have felt like I was sharing an opinion, but others may have felt it came across differently. I continue to post, however, because I like to. I just have to work on my self esteem in my own way.
