Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I'm leaving...

I'm so sorry about this, everyone, but I have to leave. This is for a few reasons:

1. I am very stressed with Japanese finals coming up, as well as from my math class which isn't as good as I thought it was and I chose to do it over the summer when I thought it was good.

2. I'm spending my screen time on other things.

3. I often sneak my phone in even when it isn't screen time, mainly to check on CB, and then my parents get mad at me and give me a talk big-time, so I want to remove the incentive.

4. The ski lodges.

5. My emotional sensitivity. I have Asperger's (self-diagnosed and parent-diagnosed, but not formal) as well as 2E (self-diagnosed and parent-diagnosed, but not formal), so I have high emotional sensetivity.

6. Because of the delay in posting, I often worry about when I will see others' posts. Also, people don't respond too often.

7. I don't think I fit in with the general CB demographic. I am interested in math and physics, which most CBers absolutely hate, and I also like playing Go, and... I generally don't feel like I fit in with everybody.

8. I don't think I am really recognized here. People here look up to Darkvine, Scuttles, and Chaser & Jay, and numerous people. They read what they post, side with them, and actually reply. I don't think that people really recognize me or read my posts fully.

9. When people don't respond, I think that they don't really care about me. See #8 and #5.

10. I feel that whenever I comment on a post (besides the really popular ones like Random Thoughts/Things), people stop making comments on it. See #8 and #9.

There you go. 10 reasons why I have to leave.

I'm so sorry everyone, but I think this is what's best for me.

I'll always remember the CB, and when my children are 9, I'll give them a subscription to Cricket and tell them about this community (and maybe they can say, "Oh, I'm Golden Lion Tamarin's son/daughter!").

Thank you. Up until now, you have been so supportive, and kind, and give good advice. 

I'll definitely remember Valentine's reunion.

I may come back if this quiets down (mainly the ski lodges).

And for one last time: Goodbye.
