Does anyone else ever feel....

I sometimes feel the same way.  But I usually get over it after I talk to my therapist, my mother and a few close friends from Idog.[] 

Shelly...when that all went down with my sister, so many here were so incredibly helpful to me...it's astounding. I think we're like antibodies...we go where there's most "need" lol when it comes to fixing owies or trials of the heart or otherwise.
 
When it counts this forum WILL lend support and people WILL care, and that is by far the most outstanding and I feel unique quality of this forum and all those who are part of it.

LMAO!

 
Gosh Ed... I am trying very hard to be serious here and suportive and you and Billy are making me laugh!  I am sorry Ed if I have failed you lately by not telling you often enough I love you! [sm=kiss.gif]
 
Gina.. I like the antibody analogy and I think it is so true!  I am REALLY hoping that the stuff with your sister was before I came because I feel bad not even knowing what you are talking about [&o]  Sorry if I wasn't one of the folks who was there for ya! 
 
Honestly the forum is GREAT but most of my stuff I feel weird about posting publically, so I only share with a small number.  but there are a handful of folks who are so damn supoortive and kind it is overwhelming.  I agree that the forum has a fantastic group of folks!  []

[sm=rotfl.gif]OMG, that was too much.......

Hmmm... yeah.. Im very very accepting of others thoughts so Gina... maybe... maybe it has to do with other things going on in my life right now.  Lord  knows that would be a book of stuff. 
 
I dont particularly think so but Im open to the possibility.  I know I havnt been posting much but I sort of dont see the point anymore. 
 
I was VERY unsure about this thread because I know it can seem like the person is fishing around for compliments and such, but its honestly not at all why.
 
I dont mind Billys comments, in fact, I appreciate them.  Maybe it is just me.  I dont want people to start looking to see if they responded to me... nor do I want people to start responding more just to appease me lol.
 
I guess ... I dunno... I just wanted to know if there was something I did or something... or maybe it is my personal life[&o]   I appreciate the responses tho, honestly

A lot of times when I'm going through a thread, everyone else has already said what I would have said, so I don't reply. It doesn't mean that I don't care, just that I'm not the greatest at giving advice and can't think of anything else to contribute.

I'm thinking kind of like Gina, in that maybe there other things going on in your life that are making you feel a little blue? I really hope you don't leave.

not that i have ever seen, nor that i could ever possibly imagine. I think it is a weird funk you are in right now![]

Say this on the CM forum:

Or say this on the clicker forum:

And you will see you will never be ignored []

If you're desperate for attention, you could always do what another forum member did and post a nude pic of himself.[]
 
(see Glenda's thread in NDR!)

Loveukaykay, how can I help give you some of my perseverance.  Or, you can take it.  You have done nothing wrong.  I am ignored all the time, all the time and so what.  Someone will eventually respond even if it is to shut me up.  Sincerely, try going to another section, another crowd for a bit.  Thats what I do.

Amy - I've felt the same way and more so in the last few months than before.  I'm not sensitive (or overly-sensitive) to not feeling a part of a thread, but there are some threads that take on a sort of bantering back and forth, and if you're not part of the bantering, then your posts get lost pretty quickly.  I don't take it personally and I hope you won't either.  I've always loved reading your posts and hopefully you've gotten something useful out of many threads and will stick around.

Amy,
I've felt the same way.

I know that this is going to sound crazy, but the way I see it is that popularity goes in waves. I find that there are always people who are very popular, and they post all the time. Then, as people join, the popular people (other than the very active regulars) change. I find that the people who are "popular", or have a circle of "friends" get responses from those people. I don't want to go so far as to call the forum "cliquey" but its something like that.


**I hope that this does not get taken the wrong way, I am not passing a judgement or mean this in a negative way. I think it is totally normal, and to be expected. **

Sometimes I feel ignored in real life! I think it just happens.

I would also like to add, that like janice, I sometimes feel like I don't have anything more to add then what has already been said. Also, sometimes I will read a few posts in a thread, and decide what I want to say, then not read on.

Additionally, I have become more of a lurker recently than in the past, meaning that I, too, post less.

Aw shucks, I feel like I'm a post killer sometimes too.    I tell myself to get over it.  I also think it has something to do with other stuff going on in our lives and what are we choosing to look for evidence of.  If we feel like we don't matter or aren't enough for others in the world, we're subconsciously going to look for evidence to affirm that hypothesis. 

On a more serious note, I do want to add that this forum has it's cycles too.  I've noticed that there are slower times and that this is one of them, although it is picking back up again.  Then it will become very busy, and then it will get ugly then slow down a bit again.  It's very cyclical.
