Problems with Social sites LIke EP getting to me.

Hi,

its been a while sicne Ive been here bit I am back!

Lately I am havign problems with EP (experience project) noone seems to acknowledge my presence. I try to reach out to people but its like i am not heard, shrunned or ignored or all three.

I try to be as loving and supportive as I can. I am not judgemental in any way and I try to have compassion for all people from all walks of life. I am not prejudiced either.

I feel burned out.

Anyone ever experienced the same?

Yeah, it happens to me too. Sometimes we just gotta take a step back and have a limit to how much we would involve ourselves. I've always learned to give out to others and then take a step back and let them make their own choices whether to take it or not. All I know is that I try to help and just detach after that so as not to be too emotionally drained with it - had that problem before. :\

That reminds me, it's what SophiaGrace was just advicing me as well - to keep boundaries even when you're helping others so they don't take advantage of you or so that you won't feel hurt cos not everyone can be changed or can feel better all the time.

If your constantly trying to reach out to everyone, people will find it odd and suspicious, and it can be overwhelming.

In the stereotypical view of most of society, it's not normal... whatever that is.

I have often found with EP that people will write one or two comments and then disappear. It can be disappointing when it feels that you and the person would have something in common. I know I have responded to people's experiences on the site and we have exchanged comments a few times and then suddenly they stop writing. It's best not to expect longterm friendships or anything like this from EP. If you do find a friend there, all well and good, but its best not to expect much.
