A few days ago I was in a good mood, and had a little contest for a facebook group I joined. Yesterday, I read a conversation between a couple of people who are in that group who were also on my friends list that was very negative about me. I deleted and blocked those two people, but I really cant shake my hurt feelings over this. Over the last few months since I joined this group, I have sent out several packages for people in the group. It seems as if some were disappointed in what I sent, I dont know, either they didnt like what I sent, or maybe I didnt include enough goodies, or there was a problem with how I packaged the items for shipment.I dont know why they didnt like the package, because they never said anything to me. The conversation left me with the feeling that others who had received a package from me had had similar conversations, but that was not explicitly stated. I had this contest the other day, because I was in a very good mood, and I wanted to make others happy. I remember how much fun it was for me when I participated in a similar contest in the group, and how I happy I was that I did win a prize in that contest. No, the winner of my contest, and the consolation prizes that I am sending out isnt very much, and yes, I am sending items that made. I dont know what happy mail means exactly, but if someone took the time to mail me anything at all, especially if it was unexpected, it would make me very happy, no matter what they sent. I also had this contest to be part of the group, and yes, it did make me feel very, very good that others commented on how nice it was that I did this. I dont know if I was looking for special recognition... maybe on some level I was...I do know it did me feel happy and good about myself. Items that I have sent out in the past were not part of an organized swap, and I never received any thing in return, nor did I expect to. I dont expect to receive anything in return for the items I sending out as prizes for the contest I had. I just dont want any unexpected conversations to appear in my news feed here on Facebook saying how terrible the prizes are, or how unprofessionally they are mailed out. If I send you something, and you dont like it, throw it in trash, or add your own shit to make it better, or send me a message and tell me you dont want me to send you anything else. If you just have to say something to someone else about how awful it was, please, just do it in private. I dont like feeling this way, and I dont like that the conversation has had this deep of on affect on me. I am going back over the packages I have ready to send out, and making sure they are the very best I can make them. I dont have a lot to send out, but I will do my best. I did this for fun, and never in my wildest imagination thought it come to bite me in the ass and make me feel this damn hurt. I also know that most of the people in this group are very encouraging, and I dont think most of them would ever have such a conversation, or at least I hope they wouldnt.
