I came back to posting on forums and trying to talk to people online, because I was lonely and in an emotional crisis. I still am and I expect I will be having this crisis for a while.
So when people reply to my posts, or otherwise contact me, and say "I'd like to chat, I can relate," and so on, I'm expecting they're truthful.
Just a couple days ago I had a nice chat with someone who had similar issues to mine. Today I tried emailing this person, and my message bounced, their profile is deleted and I will never be able to contact them again. Right now, when I'm relying on the internet for socializing, that hurts.
Even the fact that half the time I post here, I'm just not seeing enough responses, that bothers me. It's probably that this is just not a busy forum, but still, it bothers me.
Consider when I don't want attention, I don't want any, I'm closed off and don't want the potential pain of online socializing gone awry or people disappearing on me. But when I do want attention, I seriously do want it, and it hurts when it's just not there. Once that gets bad enough, then I've had it, and I leave all the forums and cut off from everyone. But don't get the wrong idea, I'm not trying to say I'm important.
I'm just saying, pretty soon I will retreat again, because it's starting to become more trouble than what it's worth. I'm not saying this forum is the problem, I'm saying people are in general. Don't say you want to chat, if you don't!
