Hey all. I think I'm gonna go. The friends list I have is big yes, but only 5 people from it talk to me. My posts here go unanswered mroe often than not now, and my journals are almost never read now. My goals get no encouragements... so it's time to go. Thank you all for sticking with me thru the best and worst of things. Hope it gets better for ya. Byes/.

sorry to hear that but i think you should go if you feel you want to if your going coz you feel like no one is interested or care or something then stick around, i first joined ds in january and like in real life it took a while to find the people who i clicked with who i can understand and they understand me, sometimes it is difficult for some people to respond coz they havent experienced it or they have a very big friends list xxxx i hope you stick around xxxxxxxxx

Hey dont go hun. I know it seems like nobody cares sometimes but i can assure you they do. The people i talk to most arent even on my friends list and only two people ever read my journal. Its just the way it goes sometimes. At least think long and hard about it cos we all need each other.

it is impossible to keep up with ppls journals. most of my friends i talk to on the boards to be honest. dont leave because of this x

deleted_user 07/02/2008

Im here most days but alot of those days im just reading journals. Ive started sending out a msg when i journal so they know its there. How is anybody gonna know unless we ask for it to be read. I see alot of the others do the same thing. We arnt mind readers, unfortunately, we need to be told/asked.

Give us another try.

hugs
Cathy

I'm sorry you have felt so ignored and all. I hope you find whatever it is you are searching for in life and please take care of yourself!

~Peace~

Sorry you are leaving...also sorry you feel ignored or unwelcome. That isn;t true.

If you send out messages to people when you journal. people are happy to read and comment, usually.

(((((hugs))))) be well and peaceful in whatever you do.

Its kinda hard to keep track of all the new posts and topics. I will create a thread and 2 minutes later after refreshing, its all the way at the bottom or on the next page.

deleted_user 07/02/2008

deleted_user 07/02/2008

deleted_user 07/02/2008

I'm sorry you're leaving. I hope I am one of the five people. I am sorry I never come on the boards here. I hope we can still keep in touch off of DS. HUGS

I'm sorry you feel ignored and neglected, it's sad especially on a support site.
I feel the same sometimes when my journals go unread, yet I read other friends journals.
Good luck to you whatever you decide, hugs
