Is it me????

I have been with this site for a few years. Left for a little bit but I am back. But the thing that gets me is that I know there are a lot of nice friendly people out there, but yet everyone that I have as a friend is due to me asking to be their friend.

Why does no one come to me and ask to be my friend? What do I need to do to have that happen? I have shared my story here have sadness and loneliness. What else do I need to do?

Now I don't want people to read this and then just start trying to friend me. I don't like to force people to do things they don't want to. I wouldn't believe they were doing cause they wanted to.

sometimes a nice avitar pic of yourself might help people know what age and male/female verses no pic of anything but the standard little line drawing....

on the other side....I have tons who either I have asked to be friends or have asked me but there are few that I communicate with her and some are prob no longer around this DS place now anyway....just go figure...making a commitment to friend someone does not mean that they will commit to talking with you....

I am new and I am so sorry you are feeling this way and I did send a friendship request I would like to be friends since I do not know anyone yet. Hang in there. Billw you wrote a very nice thing and you seem like a very caring person.

They way I see it one good friend that you can share with, trumps a dozen you never hear from, any day of the week. If you left and came back, maybe you don't want the same group anyway, it's a good chance to make some new friends.

Billw I will see about changing pic, but don't like pics of me. I thought my age and sex were shown be default.

Thanks

Great!! Just read how to change the photo by going to edit profile and clicking on Update Photo. Only thing is I don't have that option!!

Story of my life. Nothing goes right.

OK I got it. Geez you think a guy who works with computers would be more patient and try to figure it out. :-/

I have been with this forum for some time and I find that people will contact you-with a freinds request or even sending a hug when they read a post you have made that they appreciate..

Hi lost. I have issues with having people approaching me. I think I emanate some sort of vibe that makes people fearful to come to me first.
