why?? just why???????????????????????

why doesent anyone respond to me???this is the meeting people forum isnt it???? i just want people to talk to who i can relate to as i know it'll do me some good. why do you post and not even acknowledge someones existance when they write you an e-mail or post????? i dont get it, at least say hey you dont sound like what im lookin for, or somthin ignoring someone with SA who is reaching out, really isn't a good idea, it makes us feel worse, so keep in mind that when you ask for freinds to hang with or just people to talk to, that your taking on some sort of small responsibilty, for the rest of us out there, when you dont even bother to acknowledge it just makes people feel more hopeless and unwanted, all of us with SA are just tryin to be able to fit in somewhere, somehow. So please do us all a favour and if your not 100% serious about making new friends, or just too lazy to write an e-mail to someone your not intersted in don't bother to post sayin ya do!!!!!

You are right . In an ideal world you would at least get a polite no but you gotta remember you're dealing with people who find socialising hard. I think when you make contact you should accept you might not get a response and not take it personally.

It could be down to many reasons but if you keep trying I'm sure in time you'll find some cool people you'll be good friends with.

I'm sorry!!!! I've been really sick lately! I still am!! I hope that it didn't upset you when I didn't reply!! I apologize and I hope that we can chat sometime!!!!! :wink:

people who don't reply

hope i am doing this right...but anyway, i'm replying to the poster who said that it's frustrating to try to make friends here when people don't respond.

i agree with another user who said that you have to remember that most if not all people who use these forums have problems with socializing. returning a call or an email is a social skill, even though it might seem simple to you, it might take someone else alot of energy to return your email.

just keep on having clear, well placed intentions, keep on sending messages, and you will get a response form someone who is "socially ready" to share some contact with you. i agree, it is frustrating, but you gotta cut people some slack.

just to clear up, i responded to many peoples post in the meeting people forum, they were askin for people to contact them because they wanted to meet new people and make new friends i mostly responded to those in my area but also to others who were just lookin for poeple to chat with on the internet, as im not too interested in meeting anyone, but if we become good freinds so be it. im not looking for sex or anything, as i am happily married i just dont have any people to talk to, and im socail phobic so chatting on here which is much easier for me will help, i want someone who will understand, as most people do not. i only became annoyed because they posted asking, and when i replied 1 out of at least 10, actually aknowledeged my being. i just would appreciate it if people would'ent waste everone elses time, by not responding when they are the ones who asked in the first place.

Im scared of just talking over the internet, im probably not the only one. Dont get upset you should understand how they feel.

also, I haven't figured out how to respond to private messages yet, just learning how to use this site, so maybe others are the same. Anyone who has sent me private message, and I haven't responded yet, please be patient with me, I'm a slow learner :lol:

i dont feel very comfortable talking over the net really either travis...just an hour ago i had some girl telling me off and insulting me continuosly and telling me to go jump off a cliff and to **** my parents and blah blah blah and i was a bitch straight back to her. but i was shaking so horribly and i still am now..and that was a full hour ago! if someone did that to me in person i would probly break down in tears and die. 8O

Well it is probably a little easier knowing that everyone here understands, but getting a private message might be a little nerve wrecking, heh.

Maybe they people you wrote to posted a few years ago or something, and either their email isnt active any more, or they don't check it. I think replying to a post older than a few months probably won't result in a reply (unless the poster is still around here)

I don't think the Mini Messenger delivers 100% of the time because of popup blockers. I think PMs are more secure.
