PMs don't tell you how well liked you are. Some people don't like to PM, others go into chat. Some don't return PMs in a timely manner.

I'm not the best with returning PMs in a timely manner :/

The people here on ALL are lovely, I'm just having issues with people in real life.

thanks Sophie

PMs don't tell you how well liked you are. Some people don't like to PM, others go into chat. Some don't return PMs in a timely manner.

I disagree. A person who receives 5 PMs from people in a week is more popular than a person who gets none. Especially if the other person is initiating the contact.

 

[Peaches]

but yeah, what is being liked? what is popularity? Is it better to be deeply loved and understood by a precious few, or superficially well liked by everyone? Also, is a gorilla goes to a fish party, is it going to be as popular as if it were at a gorilla party? So many variables…

If I get along with somebody very well, we usually switch over to instant messaging after a while and I'm back to <0.1 PMs per week.
But let's not start with that school yard mentality again. Who belongs to the popular kids and who's just a nobody cause people don't go apeshit in their presense...

Labyrinth is now streamable on Netflix

My kid has never seen that. I Know what I'll be doing with her this weekend.

is a gorilla goes to a fish party, is it going to be as popular as if it were at a gorilla party?

Right, so a person who is popular here, may not have a single friend offline. Also, a person who is popular on ALL may be hated in other parts of the web, or most of the web.

You never know. Just because a person has interpersonal skills in one place, doesn't mean it always translates to others.

5:00 p.m. cannot get here fast enough.

no idea.

I don't think people on here should feel left out if they don't receive any PM's. If they want to connect with people they should send some PM's themselves and hopefully get friends that way.

Not to sure that's true. I think I am less popular online than in the real world.

You do say that you show a different side of yourself on here than in real life though, right? Maybe that's it.

Sometimes people take things and argue about them. This says nothing about you.

**** this arrhythmia. 130 pulse. It feels as if my heart is in my head and my ears are drums. I hate it when this happens. Again, there`s no one else around, just in case. :s

No need to be sorry.

He asked a question and it was answered by a few people. How is that arguing?

Sometimes I get none a week, and on rare occasions I'll get 20 a week. Doesn't make me less popular than anyone else. Most of the people I talk to are in chat and don't like to PM.
