Quote:Am I allowed to hold on to the belief that a lot of times, my thoughts and opinions don't really matter all that much and probably don't add a lot of value so I'll just keep them to myself? Or does that mean I'm a "snowflake" or a "children" or a "deplorable" or some other derogatory term?

 

Also, as far as avatars go, gaining self-reliance on just about any level is something that we can all strive for. It's a good thing to feel a genuine sense of accomplishment for one's own actions. Yes, we all need help from time to time and it's good to ask for help when we reach confusion, but making situations such as this a learning opportunity can go a long way towards personal development.

 

Oh wait, there I go giving my opinion again...

 

For me the problem is lack of self restraint. I need help from others to restrain myself from posting weird crap. Self reliance to get my avatar back is a totally different animal. I could find it, but I could not resize it. I could ask JIB to help me resize it, but my computer is misbehaving. So here I am, needing help with both self restraint and self reliance.

 

You are free to state your honest opinions if doing so will not make me mad. Like everyone else I have a report button.
