I think I've hit the next stage?

First there was denial, then a bit of bargaining, then anger hit pretty hard for a good amout of time. I also went through the stage where I needed to read any and all information I could find to explain what happened or give me hope for "next time". During most of those stages I felt like I needed to read every post, get to know everyone and write on almost every thread.
I think I've hit the "meh" stage? I don't recognize about 80% of people who even start threads anymore. And unless they have a serious question I can help with, I just don't feel ...this is going to sound bad,...... but I honestly don't care. Yup, I said it. I'm sorry, but when people vent about "OMG I can't go to the grocery store/mall/movies ever again because pg bellies are everywhere", I just can't relate to that. I know they have a right to vent, but I can't hug you when pg chicks have every right to go grocery shopping. I just don't even know what to write anymore on most of the threads over there.
I don't want to sound cold, and I do feel emotionally invested in very many of you, mostly who are on this 6+ board.
Is this the next "stage"? Have you guys that have been here awhile feel sort of the same? Or am I a total B!tch ice queen?

I've been there for a while, and I have waves of when I'll respond to those posts or not. I'm happy in my little charting niche.
I'm still at the stage where I need to read anything and everything to explain what's going on, but I've moved onto other sources for that - my RE ordered me to stop, but I can't help myself.
I still play a mental game of "whack-a-preggo" when I walk down the street, though it's getting harder to play now that winter coats are coming on.

I have a fully devised (yet utterly sporadic) point system that I dole out. If I can get to work under 10 points, it's a good day. I should note that utterly cute preggos (yes, they deserve that term) are on par with smoking prena-bitches --- one insights pure jealousy and the other insights absolute rage - 5 points.
