I haven't been back here long but whenever I start a thread or reply to give support, the thread dies a slow death. Is it me? Most of you don't know me. If I'm offending people, I'd like to know. Or maybe I'm not sitting the cool kids table.

[Raindropvampire]

No you aren't a thread killer and I know you haven't offended me. But I tend to feel the same way and don't post often because of it.

You cannot be the thread killer, because I hold that title on this forum!

Seriously, I almost cringe when I reply to a thread because chances are, mine will be the last reply. My guess is that a lot of people here think they're the murderer of PC threads.

Let's do a thread on who the real PC thread killer is.......

[ShadowGX]

It might just be the times you post at? I post very late EST (it's 3:20am now) and I'm last post quite a bit. I'd wager we're just the last people who see a thread and it doesn't have anything left to be said about it once we've said our thing.

[MickeyCheeky]

I'm sorry. I don't know why that happens, but I surely don't think that people don't like you here.

I used to think I was the thread killer. Doesn't happen as often as it used to for me. Sometimes threads just run their course, was my conclusion to myself.

I do try and reply to you if I see you comment.

I know you post in the dissociative forum a lot- particularly the questions thread

(((hugs))))

That’s a funny title and a funny thought. I doubt your comments kill the threads. It’s probably just no one has anything else to say or doesn’t look at the thread.

[divine1966]

Maybe after you say something, there is nothing to add as it’s a very wise reply so thread dies! I wouldn’t worry about it. Likely those are just slow moving threads

Forum dynamics can be a complicated thing that often makes feel people left out. It’s rarely anything personal, though. IME.

Exactly.

Kind of like a mystery movie? Or Clue? "I killed the thread in the conservatory with a candle stick".

I am the Dr Kevorkian of threads. Not to sound important or anything. Maybe the threads wish to die.

Me.

I don’t really post often but when I do... it seems that my posts are the last.

At least an honorable mention?

Calla you've not offended or upset me

Am i the only one who associates Dr K with marijuana legislation? Maybe the threads are just stoned...

[Unrigged64072835]

The Coffeehouse is strewn with the carcasses of threads I killed.

Mwahaha!

Seriously though, it just happens sometimes.

stoned threads.....

[delusionalcelebrity]

Nope..that would be me. Lol. My first post was cringey enough to make me want to die and one of my last few posts has zero replies. So I think you’re doing just fine!

There's no "cringey" here! The zero replies I can relate to.

Calla lily, it's really ok to ask this question and often this concern has more to do with things a person is experiencing IRL where the person tends to hold the scape goat position where they are blamed for whatever goes wrong.

From what I have observed, most of the threads that die out either have simply run their course or ended up becoming a place where different members argued with each other over their differing opinions that ended up scaring the OP away. Sometimes the individual that started the thread is struggling too much to check back with it as well so the thread just stops and dies out.

One of the things I experience myself is sometimes when I post in a thread I anticipate being criticized or shut down and I know that is more about the dysfunction I have been experiencing IRL and not here at PC. I think that a lot of members have that challenge and when they get support and understanding here at PC it helps them to gradually make gains on their ability to feel safer in that it's always nice to interact with someone who can relate to one's personal mental health challenge.
