Do you feel you belong here on this forum?

[XspydurX]

Oh yeah I thought of another reason why I do not belong here. I think it is because I am open about my desire to want to have sex. I am pretty much the only guy who says he is depressed because he is unable to mate on this forum. I am not talking about all the guys on here who whine about not having someone who understands them. No I am talking about my in ability to convince a female I worthy of being in bed with. Just another random thought.

(no offense or anything, but...)
What?

@XspydurX: In all my time here everyone seems to be above sex. Everyone wants to have an ethereal relationship where love is first and foremost. I know the other regulars will come crashing down on this saying they are not that way and they like sex. However, being open and desire filled on this forum is a big no no.

Oh I figured out another reason why I do not fit in. I adhere to a different view of mating that is seen as manipulation. While it is not, because it is how to make females want me, and it doesn't involve pretending we are in a 1950s movie. It is clearly wrong.

No I've never really got on that well on any support forums like this. I think its because just as in real life the jokey,happy confident members are always more popular and even on an online forum our personality flaws and faults put people off especially when we are sad or unhappy. So you come onto these type of forums to get help or comfort and feel just as isolated and lonely as in real life. Then of course there are always a few posters who are confrontational and sometimes just outright abusive who are often I find just seeking attention and trying to get a response because they are so miserable themselves but dare not admit it.

I know you posted that back in April, but yeah... you said it perfectly. I think the problem with any internet forum is that its like high school, it just boils down to always being a rat race for seeking attention.

I find emailing the Samaritans to be the only remotely helpful thing and I'm not even from the UK... but at least they listen.

I feel like I belong here just for the fact I could relate to a lot of people and I could say and do whatever I want, and express however I feel, often when I'm on other sites or talking to other people, people don't want you to say anything negative, and so I often put up another face and tries too hard, and at the end I always end up seeking for approval and trying to impress everyone.

It's not like I make a lot of friends here, but really I enjoy being myself, without people putting me into the "emo" category, I like feeling and acting "neutral", I like to act happy because I feel happy, and sad when I feel sad, I feel normal here.

I used to "belong here" very much as a member; but as my life has improved along with my attitude and results, I've returned to try to give advice and help to others, and try to show that if I could pull myself to be better, so could they.

 

[aspeckofdust]

Being new here, I don't think I can fairly answer that question yet. I will say that on pretty every other forum I've ever been a part of, I've not felt like I fit in. On other forums, I've always felt like I could pretty much say whatever I wanted and no one would care one way or the other. And I'm really not sure why it's been like that for me. I try to be nice and friendly. Maybe I'm too nice?

Here, I'm really hoping I will fit in, because if I don't, I might just give up on the internet altogether. :| Only time will tell about this place for me though.

 

[Peaches]

someone was writing: this group attracts people with mild depressive disorders, and I am definitely one but one side of that pathology is the feeling that one never belongs anywhere, so I will say I am not sure if I belong here. Most people sound younger or at different stages in life, so I don't really know.

 

[Pheenix]

The people who post here saying that it is another rat race with jocks and popular people; are you sure? I've always seen forums as completely devoid of the personal aspect. People don't really "make friends" on most people, it's mostly a place for discussion. I keep very little eye on the names of the posters in most forums, and, unless I am completely wrong, I don't think there are any "popular" and "nonpopular" people in here.

 

[jean-vic]

Not at the moment, but there is time for that to change.

 

[DreamerDeceiver]

I've only joined yesterday, but I feel at home on this forum and wish I had discovered it way sooner. Most of the community here appears to be friendly and honest, unlike other places I've been. I haven't seen the supreme virtual ego attitude here as you guys have mentioned.
Knowing that most of the members posting here are probably like-minded individuals with the same place of feelings makes for a fairly compatible environment to socialise in.

Of course I feel I belong on this forum. I have a lonely life! I have been doing things to make it not so lonely, though. I'm going places, doing things. I also have a few close friends. Even so, I still have moments of loneliness. I live by myself as many people do. Some deal with it easier than others, and I deal with it pretty good, but I still have moments of loneliness which in turn brings on feelings of sadness and depression. I lead a pretty full life though. It's just a lonely one for the most part.

 

[Equinox]

I think so. I'm still pondering, since I haven't been here that long yet. But so far, I like the forum and its awesome users.

 

[Ak5]

I think nobody belongs here. And nobody SHOULD belong here.

But anyway, its a good forum for people to vent and offer advice to those going through the same things.

 

[LoneKiller]

I like to think so. The members here are pretty cool. Plus, I think I can help others as they help me.

Godspeed.

[guld]

I'm really new here, hence I haven't had the time to feel neither the one nor the other. But I'm really, really, really happy I found this place, and I'm positive that feeling won't change, wanyway!

 

[nietzsche's lover]

No, I don't belong here. I like to keep safe distance

 

[iris]

I don't belong anywhere.

 

[JamaisVu]

Yeah, I've stuck around for quite some time now. I never become a "regular" on forums or find people who are just like me, but you folks are friendly and accepting so I'm comfortable here.

 

[SophiaGrace]

No, I don't belong here. I like to keep safe distance

Maybe that's why you are lonely.
