feeling more lonely

thought this forum might help you like minded people with the same crazy brains - pardon the xpression but niw feel even more isolated
Just 1 reply to my last post and been in chat room and 2 people in promtly left as I joined in.
Not very good at this and have not used forums or chat rooms before so guess my first expereince has turned out to be not so good .

Feel more dejected having not been very successful with this - maybe someone has some pointers for a new kid on the block!

Welcome to Psych Central!

It can take a while for people to respond on the forums, you could always do some reading of other posts.

You may get more joy in the chat room. If you need help- go to the support-chat room and someone will come and talk with you.

Take care.

Hi! The usual advice given is the more you post the more support you get. That is true..... up to a point. Just be yourself and post when you want to or need to. People will get to know you and you will start to feel at home here before too long.

People do sometimes leave the chatroom suddenly.... I very very much doubt it was anything personal to do with you. Sometimes people are in a "selfish" state of mind and will only talk to a few chosen people.... or sometimes they are too depressed to..... all sorts of reasons. I am sure it was not about YOU.

Also PMing people is a good way to get to know people better....... just be careful and take things slow.

Looking forward to getting to know you,
Thanks for sharing your feelings,
Take care,
Fuzzy

hello again ((((((((trindz)))))))

it usually takes more than a few hours for people to be around to respond to posts ... mid afternoon is especially bad for that sort of thing because very few people are online!

Don't worry about the Chat room - people come and go quite regularily and eventually you'll run into some people to chat with there!

Take care of yourself and once again welcome to PC.

Welcome to Psych central..the people here are wonderful..but it does take a few days for people to notice the new guys...sorry...I just saw you now...lol...welcome to you and hope you have a good experience....I have been helped alot and given lots of support from the Psych people...lol...so pull up a chair and sit down and read for a few ...get to know...and answer some posts...people will soon know you are here...ever want to PM...me just feel free...I will talk to you anytime!!! (((hugs))))

First I would like to say Welcome to PC.

I know what you mean. There are times I have been in chat waiting and someone pop's in only to pop right back out. But I know for myself, there are times when I have been kicked out of chat a few times in a row. Perhaps the people I was popping in and out on thought the same thing. LOL

I know for me, I read tons of posts. Some I reply to and some I don't. It's not because I dont care or want to support the person. It is because I can not relate to their situation. I feel I have nothing to offer the person seeking advice.

I am sorry that this happened to you. Please feel free to PM me anytime if you want to talk. Your not alone.

huggles,

Jen

Hi Trindz and welcome. I'm also sorry to hear about what happened in chat, although I am certain is wasn't anything to do with you. Much of how people interact here is filtered through their own issues: be they trust issues, self-absorption, shyness ...etc.
Still, it's not right that you weren't made to feel welcome and that you felt that people were unresponsive. Unfortunately it's often the people who are more familiar to others here (not necessarily better known ... just more familiar, perhaps because they can post more frequently) who get a lot of the attention and that's not right. Everybody deserves our time and caring. I know sometimes some things "grab" my attention more than others, and that's wrong. It's often the ones who aren't crying out for help or attention who need it the most. I'm learning that the hard way.
I have a young family and some issues of my own so I don't always get to visit here as much as I would like but I'm sorry I didn't respond to your other post.

I will get the hang of this and thanks people for your advice.
Can somebody tell me how I add to my text - a big novice at this and dont know how to add my own pictures to my name etc.

(((((((((heartspace)))))))

I hae been here since august and I don't know how to do that stuff yet either...lol...I guess I am not too computerized...lol but hope you find someone to help you....
