Alright, I've had enough.... I kind of need to post this someplace public, so here goes.

Let me start out by saying I completely respect any and all forums that let people like us converse. TT and its associates have brought happiness and gain to many of our members here, and I am quite happy for them.

That being said though, I'm sick and tired of how much crap I get on my end from people who think I'm less of what I truly am. Granted, most of my frustration comes from my own foolishness; I'm the one who chooses to speak with these people, and I know that I am risking my own comfort by doing so. The reason I choose to converse is for the euphoria received from some of the good conversations I have had, and there have been quite a few. The cold reality of the situation sets in quickly, though; I am 99% sure that I will not meet a single person from this forum in real life, and I find myself ever-increasingly frustrated from that 1% of uncertainty.

I know in my heart who I am, and those who respect me on here and the TMF also know I have nothing but positive intentions for everyone I meet. However, I have been too disheartened by some of the actions towards me to wish to continue what I am doing.

You could say I'm withdrawing most of my deeper feelings and connections from people I don't know personally. I simply cannot justify investing so much emotion into something so superficial after all the trouble it has caused me.

Any of you whom I have never spoken with, you will not hear from me.

Those of you whom I respect and appreciate, I will still keep in touch via IM, and will hopefully be able to speak with you about the subject.

Peace.

i guess i won't be hearing from you then since i don't know you..ah well..and your screen name sounds soo delicious..

seriously sorry about whatever happened...take care..
 
we have???? enlighten me please?? eeks i forgot? lol
 
raspberry,

I'm relatively new to this whole thing, and thus a little naive, but since I don't know what the heck you are talking about in your post, I'll offer a completely neutral and obviously unknowning shoulder if you need to talk it out.


One never knows what friends one has until one communicates the problem... I'm just sayin'
 
So, something ticked broman off, but he won't say what. In the end it looks like a very, very wordy post to say, "I'm leaving."

In that case, ah... take care! I think we'd prefer you stayed here and got to know people, but I understand that when nebulous things happen, then vaporous reasons have to be given for inexplicable retreats into the nimbus of obscurity.

<Dr. Perry Cox>He's in the real world now, mmmmmmkay?</Dr. Perry Cox>
 
Raspberry hope all goes well for you take care, It seems you have been a member since 2003 a lot of things must have happened both positive and negative, seems a pity to go you can have fun on this site,i'am not young and have had alsorts of things to deal with in life the door is open if i can help just pm.
 
hmm well that's sad.I find the benefits out weigh all the negativity.I hope to meet someone off of here one day.I know people who have met good friends over the internet.I am soo sorry that you have chosen to leave I am sure we could have been good friends.Well,I hope you have a great year and many more!
 
Just so we're clear, I'm not leaving (not yet, anyway). Taking a hiatus, yes, and soon. (hence why I was wordy) I cannot fit this reality (even real-life gatherings) into my own at this point, though. I need to step back and focus on who actually needs my attention.

I fit into a very small minority as it is, so that could possibly be why I have the stigma that I do. (combination of a lot of things)

Again, those who I do talk to I would like to continue conversation for a time, and those who wish to contact me will receive a response.... I know my reasoning for why I'm not trying to meet anyone new, so I know that a mature conversation will not be a detriment.

Thanks for the replies! 🙂
 
I see now what you were getting at. However, I disagree on a fundamental level. Giving attention to those "who actually need your attention" does not require going as far as what you've mentioned.

In my years observing the social oddity that is The Internet, I've noticed that a lot of people have this tendency to draw black and white distinctions between things. They'll either do something or swear it off entirely. They love or hate something. It seems hard for folks to get their thoughts around this little thing we like to call "Moderation."

What I'm saying is that you can reap the greater reward by simply talking to the people you want to more and not changing anything else. Unfortunately that's about all I can say. I think there may be more to this than just that, though. You mention something about being part of a small minority, and a stigma connected to it.

As a person that would likely called someone you don't know, I can say with a great deal of certainty that nobody cares. I've witnessed no ill-will toward you. In fact, I don't even know what minority you might belong to.

How about just doing what you've been doing today? Posting, reading, responding. Get to know us before you decide firmly on anything, okay? 😀
 
i still don't know who you are....perhaps if you yahooed me once it might help..
 
Isabeau, I'll IM you soon, worry not 🙂

Jimmy: for the past however many years it's been, I have been attempting moderation. It doesn't work for me here, pure and simple. I know my own capabilities, and this application demonstrates what I lack. Control is especially difficult for me (totally excluding this discussion, though) here, and not a challenge I really need or wish to overcome.

I know where my priorities lie, and they do not reach out here at the moment.
 
Well... when your priorities aren't quite as demanding, please do reach away. It'd be nice to get to know you and welcome you into the family. 🙂 I'm sort of new blood but I like making new friends.
 
Is this a new member cause everybody is demanding to know who she is?Guys let's not forget our manners and be welcoming if she is new,we must make her feel at home.
 
Do not be fooled by my post count. I've been around for a very long time and am extremely familiar with how most of these sites work.

Glad I'm well-received, though! 🙂
 
Ugh, there's that C word again.... I'd be happy if I never heard that word again for the next ten years.... long story about it being overused and said out of context. >_<
 
I must admit, this is a really long warning for an "I'm taking a break from here" message...
