writes: I have been looking over my answers to posted questions and I think I offer pretty good advice. I do however see a pattern of getting into my own life experiences to make a point. I wondered maybe some might think I am self centered by doing so, but I'm definitely Not! By using my own experiences, I am able to relate to so many questions, that I feel it is the only way to help another. I have had a crazy life thus far, and just recently (within a year) have found myself, and true happiness! I truly care about people. I would love to be able to help others come to the happiness I have found. And that is why I love this website and the people I have come in contact with here. It just blows my mind that I have contact with people all over the world! In this season of love and gratitude, I would love to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday, and a Prosperous New Year for all!I love you all!Britt Reply to this Article

You have given me back the confidence to continue what began as a true desire to help others! Thank you!

 I've only just seen this post britt, you were the first person that I related to on this site even though our lifes experiences are very different. I think it's a great way to help others by telling us what you have been through and how u coped with that. You gave me such a great reason to rethink my own situation and am forever grateful
Thankyou britt. C

I have had the same thoughts as you, so I understand what you are saying. I've decided that in some cases I will hold back sharing my experience (not necessarily any rhyme or reason to this), but in other cases, sharing can help the other person feel as though they are not alone, and can offer insight into what they are going through.
So no, I do not believe in general it is self-centered or self-gratifying to share your own experiences, b/c they can be a valuable lesson or tool for someone else in need.
You have always come across to me as being genuinely caring in your thoughtful answers to others. Your answers are among the top that I value.
I'm going to send you a PM soon, so when you get a chance, write back and let me know!

 Thanks for your post.
I relate to you fully.
I also enjoy answering questions as I've had a lot of experience and learned from "life".
Showing that we care for people, gives us so much in return.
Happy New Year!

Friends and family say I should write a book! But you know what? This is so much more rewarding than writing a book! At least I get responses and thank yous from the people I have helped, and that's more than enough for me!
Thanks again!
Britt

I like to think I can help make a difference! There are so many hurting people out there! It breaks my heart!

Merry Christmas and A Very Happy New Year To All!
