We just started trading, you can't leave now. :-(

Sweetie, in life there will always be issues to contend with.

It's not how we're treated that matters, it's how we react that matters!

Become strong and grow from this experience. If it hasn't killed you, then you were already strong enough to overcome it!

I missed exactly what happened, but as someone who's been in your shoes... I had a member here viciously attack me on the boards, calling me names, ranting at me and so forth. Nothing happened to him for his behavior, so I left this site for a year because it was so disturbing. I'm cautiously back, but I know what it's like and how scary it is when someone just goes off on you. So I would encourage you to take a break, catch your breath, and if and when you feel it's safe, come back. There are a lot of positives about this community, but there are definite negatives too. So you have my sympathy - been there, done that.

THIS IS OUR SAME EXACT STORY!! And even by someone on this very thread!! We have continued to trade and participate in spite of the negative and our "pin pal" friend list has continued to grow from the far reaches of the world. We are blessed to call you one of our "pin pals" and hope that this will not discourage you to leave the community -- which reaches much deeper than just here on DPF.

::grabs an arm, digs heels in and tugs::

nope, yer staying right here. IDK what happened, missed those posts somehow. but yer staying even if we have to tie you down with rapunzel doll hair.
 
The overwhelming amount of support I have received from each and every one of you has hit a soft spot with me. I appreciate the sympathy and enthusiasm to keep my spirits up in the trading community. Never would I leave (um, hello! Still need a couple more Tangled pins ;)), but the push of positivity has helped immensely in keeping my spirits far from hitting rock bottom.

I am extremely grateful for the relationships I've developed with many of you on here (and in person)! All of your messages, texts, and replies to this thread have quickly brought me out of my doooooom buggy and made me realize what little importance a certain someone says about me is.

Again, thank you all for everything. You are all extremely lovely, and I look forward to future trades! :)

So happy to read this!! :hug:

I know for myself I go through bouts of feeling hurt when it comes to forums, but the positives seem to always outweigh the bad in the end :) hope you have great experiences to come from here on out!
 
I don't know who it was or what they said, but I do know there is an "Ignore Posts" feature here (go to your profile to enable it), maybe using it to "ignore" that person would help. Life's too short to have to deal with people who treat you poorly, especially as with someone here on the boards (I'm assuming you and that other person don't know each other personally outside of the boards)--just cut them out. Problem solved.
 
AHHH! So you're staying? <3 <3 <3
