I dont want to offend anyone but...

[Minus]

You know? I dont know why people here is so difficult to reach. You all complain (we all, btw) about the cold and how lonelly we are. But nobody here allows anyone to get closer. Its amazing. I dont hide neither protect myself. Im always opened and everybody else is closed. I feel alone here. You are all like islands. Everybody just built a defense so strong and so high that its almost impossible to pass through.

I am glad that you made that observation. I can't speak for it's accuracy because i just wouldn't know being as that i am so far out in left field and it is one of those social things that i am so ignorant about. Still it seems reasonable. Quite possibly as a defense as has been mentioned a number of times.

I would guess that after long enough some of us may not even realize that we are doing it. It just becomes natural and yet we may not understand why we are so separate from people.

I am a rock,
I am an island.
Ive built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.

Oh, I have known for over a decade that I do that myself. I used to always joke about how impenetrable my fortresses walls are. Lot's of pit falls and ****y traps. 30 foot thick wall with a dome made of solid titanium and just tiny port holes.

Seems like the forum has been quieter lately.
Seems to me that it goes through alternating phases of being busy and being dead.

It's always dead here, and it seems like the only threads ppl reply to are the "word association" & "what are you listening to", basically whatever's in the off topic area...

I'm willing to talk about anything, but wether anybody will care and reply, well that's another story..that's basically what stops me from putting it all out there.

Well so far every thread you have started has received replies. One is even on it's third page of replies.

 

[penny143]

yes but if u notice, it kind of went off topic.
so, yeah...

I wasn't bitchin that no one talks to me or anything..I was merely making an observation.

No, i haven't looked at it for awhile. I just hope you do feel free to start threads on the topic you want.

I would hope that you to would feel free to start a thread about anything you like as well. As far as going off topic is concerned I think that you may have a point. I am guilty of this my self. But I think a good idea would be if we started making that a bit moor strict on here. I mean we are very very laid back here when it comes to rules. Well, we dont really have any. Its always just up to the indivijewel moderator. But I think its about time we started making moor of an effort to stay on topic. In less its in the off-topic forum then well leaf that as it is.

And I see your point cleo about the chat room but not every one feels comfortable in there. I mean that is a good asset to the forum but it dont suite everyone. I mean it was a forum that first got ppl here in the first place. Just that I have seen the other two mods say the same thing in other placers and well as I say I dont think it suite every one and I think if ppl wont to go there they well anyway.

I know this thread is a bit old, but since the board seems completely dead lately, I figured it might be a good time to revisit some old topics.

I've tried several times to get to know some of the people here through private mail or whatever, but more than once I got the impression I was bothering them, so I steered away. It's a fine line between trying to be a friend and being a nuisance and I'm never sure where that line is with a lot of you. In fact, I actually left for several months thinking I'd worn out my welcome. Maybe I did, but for better or worse I came back. What the hell else am I going to do? It's not like I have a life or people that care about me.

I know I'm weird (I accepted that a long time ago) but I'm not a bad guy. I've been through a lot in my brief time on this planet and I'm still standing and breathing. I have a lot of experience in dealing with pain, loneliness and just plain boredom. So if any of you do ever want to talk about anything, I'm usually here. However, I can't read your minds.
