You know, I'm starting to see why people leave this group/community. I have replied to a LOT of different threads, and have also written some myself, to which I ahve gotten little or no response. That in itself is depressing. When you already feel like you're invisible, to not have anyone take notice or respond when you try to put yourself out there makes you feel worse. And you know, a lot of you guys have your little cliques and don't even seem to broaden your horizon to include others. I'm starting to feel like this community is more trouble than it's worth.

Im sorry. I never meant to make you feel like that. Come and talk to us!

deleted_user 11/14/2007

I am new here, and I have a handful of friends on here already and I think it seems good. People seem nice. :)

deleted_user 11/14/2007

I agree. if you are bubbly and dramatic you get lots of hits.

deleted_user 11/14/2007

Thanks, I appreciate the support...just feeling a little left out, and that's one of the reasons I started looking for support groups in the first place...just feel like it's counterproductive if it's adding to my anxiety, not reducing it.

deleted_user 11/14/2007

I have felt the same way, I would post thread after thread and got little response, if any but I didn't give up, although I don't post many thread, or answer many I do read them, and every once in a while i read one like yours or I read one that touches my heart and I respond, I don't get many responses to my threads so I mostly talk to the people on my friends list, they have been a big help and a lot of support to me, maybe you should try that.

deleted_user 11/14/2007

hey, im sorry ur threads havent had much response. i hope ive responded, but if i havent - usually the reason is i either dont have experience with that situation, or im feeling really low and not in a place 2 help. im really sorry ur feeling low. xxx

Yesterday I made a joke about this, but to some degree, I know how you feel. Not about the cliques, whatever, but feeling like your being ignored. Your not, just have to keep on till someone pays attention. How long have you been on DS?

deleted_user 11/14/2007

hey, if you need to talk ill happily talk to you, im sorry that you have got off to a bad start with the board, i hope that you find help from it in the future

deleted_user 11/14/2007

I haven't been on DS for very long at all, so that's why I'm making a statement about it. I mean, I like to give everything a fair chance, you know? It has just been my observation since I joined this group. I do have a few friends that I talk to, I'm just concerned about how many people out there that post threads also feel ignored.

deleted_user 11/14/2007

well if you ever want to talk ill always be ahppy to talk to you, if you feel you want to...
people can sometimes feel ignored and missunderstood but really you wil eventually realise that there are a lot of peple that really want to help you..
And even thought i dont know you.. i hope i can be one of them :)

meandthebeast 11/14/2007

Yea hon, there are alot of cliques on the discussion forum but if you just go to a persons sight and talk to them you will get many friends to talk to.. Seems like people only talk on the drama boards... stay strong.. Ds is worth it

deleted_user 11/14/2007

I know exactly how you feel and I'll tell you that it isn't anything new here. Sorry that you feel this way and I'm here if you need to talk. I just don't even read the board anymore because ther's a group on here that will just bash you down until you leave the site, all for expressing your personal opinion. Just ignore those that aren't here for you and keep in contact with your friends daily. DS is what you make of it I guess. xx

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
