Should I Keep on Going?
Answering Y!A questions has been a way of life for several years now. I came here with a broken heart four years ago, and then she came back, and then left 2 years ago. Then I came here again, with a double broken heart (2 years ago), and have been here since.
All this time focusing on other peoples' problems has made life a bit easier, but I suspect my presence here has been more of a salve than a solution.
Should I keep on going? Posting and answering here? Is it time to move on? Focus on me? Turn a new leaf? I don't know.
Anyway, in the two years I have seen many of the same questions, sometimes the exact same questions posted under different names.
And so its time to make the big decision. Cut back or not?
I'll post it in M and D because that is where I started.

keep going.
Sometimes answering questions can also help not only heal your heart, but also might help on shedding light on some areas of your life. Best thing is, you are anonymous. For myself, I like answering questions, cause at times, I reread answers of other answerers of the question(s) I had answered, and it sheds light on some of my own stuff. I like it. I just don't make an addiction our ot it. I think anything good in moderation is good. If you realize it is taking over your life, then yes, maybe it's a sign to drop it and move on, but if you go on only occasionally, I don't see the harm.
Besides, if you stop now, that means I'll have one less friend on my friends' list, lol. No, all joking aside, I do like your answers when you answer, so I am sure that even though you are not sure about staying or going, know that some people appreciate your thoughtful answers to their questions.
Wishing you well, whatever your decision.

I think we all have broken hearts and we have to find ways to heal it. If Y.A has been your therapy than why cutting it off...? It's just doesn't have to be your whole life. You have to meet with people and pick the ones that you will let in but still you can share something with every person.I think, if you can try to be a part of many things that you like instead of one, your life will get less serious
and you will have more fun.My mom always tells me that stupid people are happy people because they can laugh on any stupidity. and she says that life is not that serious and.I believe her..

Wow, you seem to add a lot of wisdom to the Yahoo answer board. It would be a loss to have you leave. I am taken back about your love situation and frankly curious how that came about? Anyway I agree that Yahoo should not be your life but on the other side is it not possible that you can meet someone on these boards who could be that special person? Anyway you are appreciated here obviously.

Your question sound more like a monologue than a prelude to dialogue. Ask yourself if you think even one of your answers has made a difference.I would bet that it has.People need to reach out and this is a very good forum for doing just that.Continue to make a differance even if it just helps you.
Good luck
