Taking a break.

I know I said this about a month ago (give or take a week or so, I think, unless time has gone by really quickly.)
I realize, looking through my posts, that, perchance, my mood in many of my posts is conveyed as frustrated, angry, annoyed, or belittling, or a combination of all of those... or perhaps a combination of a couple, or a few... or there are other adjectives that can describe it...
What I'm trying to say is that I feel like a "negative energy." Not all of the time, but enough of the time for me to regret how I've treated some people on this site sometimes.

Maybe I am sounding like I'm experiencing self-pity with these two or three threads I have started, but I don't consciously feel that way. I also know that I've said that I need to try to change the sort of "tone" I use when I am posting, so this post can easily be nullified, but... I don't know. All I know is that I feel bad. An issue has cropped up in a post by another member that made me feel attacked and hurt... these feelings were not outwardly expressed, but (in true AS fashion) I thought about it for awhile and realized, "Why am I getting like this over something that happened on a website? I don't even know the person who made that remark." It made me think about the fact that I have possibly made some people feel the way I did when I was thinking about that specific post, and that is when I decided to take leave for awhile. Not too long, but I need a break. Too much of a good thing can be bad; I need to learn that most good things are only good in moderation. It is no secret that I spend hours upon hours every day on the computer/WP (hence my post count), and I definitely need to start taking it in moderation.


I don't know when I'll be back; perhaps I'll pop in every now and then, just to see how some people are doing, but I won't be posting very much at all.


Farewell for now.

I don't know what happened to make you think and feel like this. I wish for you a great offline recharging! Catch you later.

Good for you! There can be a lot of negative energy on this site, to the point that it can feel contagious. I myself have found that if I spend far too much time on this site per week (just an example) that it can have negative effects on me. You are right, it's not good to overdo it. I hope you gain something from your break. Have a nice time, whatever you are doing.

You cannot escape the grasps of the Wrongplanet. Anyone who takes a break comes straight back, they cannot resist.

Take care JM. Maybe you've been feeling a bit frustrated for some reason, and it's coming out in negative ways. Hope you work yourself out.

I took a 4 month break a couple years ago, and I came back with a new outlook. I hope you enjoy your break and I look forward to seeing you when you come back. :)

shame. a free-thinker such as yourself makes for most enlightening conversations.

Come back soon!

For what it's worth, I never once thought badly of you. Hope you get everything worked out and feel better.
