Why do I even bother?

Nobody gives a rat's *** about me......this whole place is just a big damn popularity contest now......

I'm SOL I guess...

Hello Artchic528: It sounds as though you are feeling very much left out. I don't know if you are referring to your experiences here on PC, or to your real-life situation or both. But, either way, I hope that your experiences change for the better soon. I send warm wishes your way...

Yeah, I was kinda referring to both here and the world.

Why do you say that? What happened?
Hugs

Hey Artchic528, sending hugs your way!

I feel the same way. Unheard, unwanted, and nobody gives a f***. I'm sorry you feel that too.

Well I am listening now.

Has there been a particular incident(s) that has precursed this?

I think that many of us on PC have had that crummy feeling at some point that we're not really important to the rest of the members here. I've seen a number of people post about it, and I've certainly had the feeling, myself. It doesn't feel good.

Let the rats run their race. I haven't seen the popularity contest here yet. Just work on yourself don't play any competition games.

Due, I believe, to the numbers of members we have posting here on PC, things move pretty quickly. And, depending on when a Thread gets posted, sometimes it can get missed. Also, I think, members tend to get to know other members & so routinely reply to their posts. It can take a while to develop a circle of "friends". But, hopefully, it does happen, over time, for most members. It is important, in this regard, to post often; both new Threads of one's own as well as replies to other members' posts.

I agree it takes time and effort to develop friendships here or irl. Things do move quickly here and posts get overlooked. Keep posting we do care.

Hi again dear Artchic. Yes, I was wondering if you were speaking about PC, that people are in some kinda contest ........................................ I haven't seen it yet to be honest, but maybe I'm not visiting those particular forums and I never join in with games.

Have you been very depressed of late? I ask that because I've said that exact sentence many times when I was depressed. I wish I could do something for you, but what? You can always message me and vent/rant, that's fine.

As a bit of an emotionally frail newbie, I'm glad I found this post, so I have a better idea what to expect. Artchic528, if it helps at all, you have helped me by posting this. Thank you.

i am sorry you feel this way too i have to admit it took me a lot of courage to post my first post and the rest, but i got used to it. i hope you don't give up and enjoy the rest of your day without worrying.good luck
