I think it may in part be because they are seeing themselves in us.

What do you consider the definition of the word developer to be when it is used without a specific area of development? Example "I am a developer"

I don't know. My entire Flickr account was deleted somehow, I lost thousands of photos. It likely was my fault in that during the worst of treatments my lawyer failed to pay multiple accounts, stole money, was disbarred, and is now dead. I am heartbroken.

Great question here's the answer everyone everywhere anything is hackable they destroy Digital Data in three years or less and there are centralized databases not decentralized which is a very dangerous thing to do and nobody's talking about it so thank you

For All I ever wanted and I believe this is true for so many it's just somehow be understood accepted as we are and forgiven for our trespasses for we all make them but we must own them and so few people care to own anything but things. I am so sorry for your suffering I'm here

Is it possible that we can help each other? What can I do to help you? What can you do to help me? Maybe if we figure that out we'll start something better. I thought that was the Web was supposed to be. But it is greed that breeds poverty. But I miss the good Good in people.

I want to help you I want to fix you I want to help fix the whole wide world and I know that it's impossible. So I destroy myself instead cuz I feel useless and helpless and can only ask what can I do to help today just one person. In my career there have been so many good people

What kind of world is this where we Revere the single greatness of a rich man over the suffering of a young man trying so hard to do what's right in this world and work and not suffer so much? I don't have a clue.

The only way I know how is to just reach out and say how can I help offer comfort respect your boundaries and I've done that but the one boundary I never respected was my own I never took care of myself in fact I hurt myself constantly perhaps because that's what I deserve?

I do not understand why people think there's only one reason for everything it doesn't work that way in this world cause and effect are not singular and I don't think human beings will ever evolve beyond the needs of their own pain. It hurts me to my car and I wanted to fix this.

I have friends but they are scattered across the world and most of them have passed. Or simply have the lives of their own. I have never been supported outside of my industry as anything but a horrible insane person who's making it all up here I am in palliative care at 60?

Does a 14 year old run away from people she loves? What happens to a 14 year old girl in urban disrupted City? The truth of my life is untold mostly and people think I'm open but I don't say the things I want to say which is I am struggling always to see the best in other people.

For the rest of my life I have been challenged with bleeding and medical disorders that redeemed behavior or that I was stupid bad and everything that happened was my fault. Was it? I am now 60 and I am dying I have never heard a doctor a brother a family member say I'm so sorry.
Replying to @shawncrigger
I did have a pediatrician . My mother told the doctor it's her fault she picks her nose something I never did and still can't do without being in private and using tissues and hygienic methods. I was never looked at further. My father was kinder but neither stayed or held my hand
Replying to @shawncrigger
The doctor began asking me questions but it was the '60s there were no laws in place for doctors to call the police or make an incident report he began to talk to me and ask me questions. At one point he had my parents brought in and told them your daughter needs a specialist.

I bled through a towel and then half of another one finally my father insisted we go to the emergency room. I remember this incident because it was followed by five others with the same ER doc. They never stayed in the room Dad ran out to smoke Mom ran after him screaming.
Replying to @shawncrigger
At 4 years old my nose began bleeding very badly. My parents were engaged in a terrible war of their own my mother hated doctors often with good reason my father was it in decline with problems of his own their solution was to give me a hand towel and put my head back. I obeyed.
