I realised earlier tonight that I had a similar name to someone else on mn and that people had been getting us confused, though it was a totally honest mistake, I genuinely didn’t realise and have since changed my name. In the meantime I’ve read another thread that's been started about me and the name confusion where one person has said that I have really pissed them off because of it, and I’m genuinely upset by what's been said.
It really does feel like I’m back in the playground at school and being picked on for something that wasn’t my fault, and I’m now thinking what’s the point of it all when the only thing I seem to do is put my foot in it and insult or upset everyone with everything that I say. In real life I’m very under confident and tend to keep my opinions, problems and worries to myself for exactly this reason, and mn was the only forum where I could share experiences, ask for advice and get things off my chest.
I’m sorry for brooding over this. What started out as harmless banter has left me feeling like I’ve committed a major faux pas.
