In reply to something is wrong here, posted by alesta on April 25, 2005, at 22:12:04
Alesta, it's really difficult living alone when the novelty factor wears off. Add in the isolation you feel here and it's no wonder you're unhappy. I have been posting here for a while - well over a year and a half - and there have been times when I have felt out of the loop, too. I just plain miss the bus when some of the fun threads are started; or I am in no mood to contribute to any fun threads at all.
I hung around babble anyway. Read the other boards, got in trouble on a few of them, found where my comfort levels are.I would *love* to get to know so many other babblers better - including you! I realize that by my nature, I kind of get on a board and start my pity party, or my giant babble hug where I try to thank all the folks who prop me up on my worst days.
I have to say that my attempts at joining pre-existing threads have not been great successes. Sometimes you'd like an "uh-huh" in reply, and a post may be met with a thundering silence. How many people here have felt like thread killers? (Entire Social board raises hands.) See??
So - please, persevere with us, Alesta. Give us a chance to get to know you and develop a real friendship. I know that I have made many friends here that I can't imagine having ever getting to know elsewhere.
Stay and share. We want to know you better.
((((Alesta)))
