whoa! don't go bringing sense and logic into this!!
 there are plenty of members that DO post but aren't at a place yet where they're able to participate in many threads.......so yes there are those who do benefit from reading only (or lurking as some call it) we lurked here for a good two to three seasons before posting for the first time. read and followed but didn't yet have the confidence or whathaveyou to jump in and start posting. like we've said before to some posters.....some are waders and others SPLASH jump right on in. think of those lurkers as pre-waders?  takes all kinds. and yep!! feelings just are! so feel away!  (no need to hide)

 Talk about sense and logic! You're doing a damn good job of it, Zen! LOL In two short posts, you've just about got me talked out of having any feelings about the subject on way or the other!

im invisible and i check to see who is online. i dont care if others do it to me. sometimes i check because i want to know if someone is on, so i can PM them or ask them to chat or something.

I seldom log in. So most of the time I will be seen as an "invisible member" or "anonymous". I'm harmless tho. I read a lot here, looking for things I can relate to and maybe find some answers to whatever my problem might be at the time. I used to be a lot more out going and would jump right in and would always be giving of myself. Many people have said to me, 'you had to of been a cheerleader in school' as I was always cheerful and helpful. I guess i have changed and being quiet and watchful is what fits me now. I get a lot more out of things when I stand back and don't get caught up in the chatter of things....So one of those "invisible members or anonymous is prob me..... |

I was sexually abused as a little girl and it was done in front of other adults who watched. Some later joined in.
I don't like being watched. I don't like being seen. Petunia |

Hmm, I have read off and on about this topic and was going to keep my big mouth shut but everyone's honesty had made me brave. I am invisable because a few months back some very disturbing, upsetting, unsettling happenings were abounf here. I felt the need to be invisable to be safe. That is an old PTSD trick, try to be quiet and stay invisable and no one will hurt you. Well, it didn't work but it doesn't mean I still don't try it. This thread has hit a nerve with me. Not in a bad way. But-zh talking about an internet board and privacy. It feels insecure to me because there are so many here that I see as friends or family. And yes there are wack jobs who post upsetting things on purpose but I find them easy to ignore.

Tomi,
I gotta admit.....I too am invisible......"Casper the FRIENDLY ghost"......cloked in white eskie fur which abounds all around my home. I had a point in time where I backed off completely here due to something that became an issue. It was just before I had to leave due to my Mother's condition & my being in the hospital. When I came back, I checked the options here & found the invisible capability.....it sounded perfect for the place I was in.....scared to death, physically ill, & not even wanting to know when I was myself. Then issues came up around here just when I was feeling safer.....wham......I just never changed my setting & haven't found the need yet......sometimes I pop in for a few minutes before I have to go somewhere & don't really have time to get "involved". For me, it is kinda a freedom thing......I have a desparate need for that at this point in my life....without any deep thinking as to why. Sorry if I am a bother.....I really haven't meant to be harmful to anyone....& definitely not you. My appologies, Debbie

Debbie,
You don't need to apologize, Hun. You don't even need to explain why you do things. I know some people feel "safer" when no one else knows they're online. Call me thick, but I just don't understand it. That's MY problem. The day I posted originally, what was bothering me was the "annonymous" people that were checking who was online. Maybe it's because on the surface I think that the registered members are "Invisible" and the Annonymous people are not members. It doesn't make sense, I know, because some of them show as checking their "My Home." I just need to change my thinking on the whole thing, that's all. It's beginning to become a little clearer for me. So don't worry, okay?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
