Feeling Invisible

I was really blessed to have found this forum. I have gained a lot of support and hopefully have offered some as well.

However, I posted to some recent threads that are near and dear to my heart with upbeat support and have been basically ignored, resulting in my feeling a bit invisible. I have to admit, this really surprises me.

Perhaps this sounds petty, but as has been stated on this board many times, we all have issues...this is one of mine.

To the new friends I've made on this forum who have been kind enough to exchange PMs with me, I look forward to continuing those relationships. Howeverver, on the public forums, at least for the time being, I won't be posting.

I wish you all well....

Aza

I do not blame you I know a few people feel the same

hugs

I'm here, you can PM me,you know that. I've always enjoyed talking with you.
Take care now,
Roe

I feel it worth mentioning that there are times that the forums are extremely busy and posts simply scroll off the first page and often people don't go beyond that for many reasons, lack of time being among them. I may be totally wrong about this, but I believe that if you have posted and feel it has not received much response, there should not be anything wrong with, at least once, anyway posting a reply to yourself saying just "bump" to cause it to come back to the front page of new posts.

There is also a case to be made that there are times when a post is such that it is difficult to fomulate a response. I only suggest these things in the hope you might give the whole thing just one more go. You might find it worth it. Most people here are caring individuals who want to help, but sometimes, for whatever reason, they are unable. Please keep this in mind. I personally have only just returned after a long absence so I have not seen the posts to which you refer, but I hope you have a better experience in future.

Take care, in any event.

PM me any time, be safe (((((((((((((((Azalysa)))))))))))))))))

I wanted to appologize to you for not responding to your recent posts. I am trying to make an effort to be here more and offer my support because you and many others have been there for me when I have needed you. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings by not responding either in your post, or by PM. I am trying to adjust to getting use to being back to work and my mind has been elsewhere.
We share such similar stories and even went back to work on the same day. We both can be proud of ourselves there.

You are a good friend and I am sorry for not being there for you when needed.


Huggles,

Jen

You can also PM me anytime. I care for you. I hope you know that.

Love, Jenn

Rebound, has a point here, which is so true, especially for many of us that may be busy, and do not have enough time to reply or read all the posts of the day.
I understand about feeling invisible, but no one is ignoring your posts. I also know that there are times when we are feeling down, we tend to think negatively too, it's depression's common trick it plays on our minds.
I wouldn't take the lack or little replies to my posts,personal, but continue to post and participate in things here, doing so, I found my feeling like you are feeling actually was my own feeling due to feeling down or uptight about 3D events going on in my life.
Take care and keep in touch,
DE

(((((((((((((Azalysa))))))))))))))) I am sorry if I have overlooked your posts. I have a limited amount of time online and sometimes I skim through them quickly. I would never ignore someone intentionally. I would love to talk to you if you would like that. I am sorry you are feeling this way.

Azalysa, I often feel very much the same. I guess it's a sensitive issue. I don't know what else to say but I seem to be pretty good at the p.m. thing. Take care and even if you are not responding to anyone else can you still respond to me? That I will feel very special!!!!!!!!!!! Ha HA, I am gidding, silly or whatever. Thanks for being here.

Yanno, I had a feeling I shouldn't have posted this publically because all of you who have responded didn't in any way contribute to my annoyance. And I'm sorry you all felt you had hurt me in any way. I think I will take a lesson from this....well two (1)next time directly address the person(s) the issue is with (and I know better ) and (2) not to post something late at night, after an aggravating day, when I'm overtired.

Hi Rebound...nice to meet you. I agree with your post 100%. I know I get busy in life and don't visit the forums for some time (although I truly try) and I'm sure I've missed some posts, etc. And there are truly loving, kind people here. (Refer back to my previous paragraph... )

{{{{{{Fuzzy}}}}}} You've always been right there offering your precious fuzzy paws.

{{{{{jmo}}}}} Ohhhhhh, hon, you have nothing to apologize for. Gosh, I can certainly understand getting adjusted back to working (which might contribute to my over-tiredness, thus making me a bit overly sensitive now that I think about it). You have not hurt me at all and I'm so sorry you thought I was referring to you. *HUGS*

{{{{{{Sleeps}}}}} ({{{{{{EsthersVirtue}}}}}} {{{{{DE}}}}}}
Thank you so much for your hugs and support. You, along with others here, are the greatest!!!


{{{{{Jenn}}}}} I think you were one of the first people I met here and were so very kind to make my still most favorite sig. (By the way, you've got some snazzy ones going on lately...like them!!) Again, hon...you'are a doll.

{{{{{{Bipolar Bear}}}}} I've immensely enjoyed your posts and support. Again I understand the work commitments. You have not upset me in any way and again I apologize for possibly making you feel you did.

{{{{{{{wisewoman}}}}}} Love your lightheartedness and, well, wisdom. Of course I'll respond to you. PM even. *grins*

Okkkkaaaayyyyyy....well, again, lesson learned to be selective in who I address on issues and not cause those not involved to be distressed.

Group hug.

I hope I didn't miss anyone.

My apologies to all of you. And please feel free to PM me at any time for any reason...even to kick my butt if I need it and I know all of you are ok with me PMing you!

No apologies needed, we all get days like that.
It helps to know people care, and if your post helped prove that to you, I am happy.
Your a sweet person.

Roe

((((((((((((((( everyone at PC ))))))))))))

No need to apologize, Last week I came right out and said hey, read this I need help. No shame in that. Take care

I haven't been able to post to too many people lately. I've been very busy with my college coursework and making my own site, which is much like this one in the sense that it has many forums and categories of forums. I have been reading some of the posts when I have been able to.

I have a lot going on right now, and please let me apologize for not being there for you...and for so many others who may be struggling.

(((((Azalysa)))))

I GET your post some people in here do NOT acknowledge but a few replies ... They thank SOME people and ignore the others who ALSO spent time SUPPORTING them ... I find it selfish and then they wonder why only a few post to them after a while..And if they were to go back they would see they often have an excuse when the issue comes up

I just wanted to say that I dreamt of this thread for what seemed like hours last night. I kept seeing your signature in my dream. I don't know what any of that means, except that I should tell you.

(((Azalysa)))

You know, I often am so concerned that I'll accidentally leave someone out while making my replies that I write a group pm. Please know I would never, ever leave anyone out on purpose. I think that is the way with about everyone.

Hugs,

Jan

Hi Azalysa

I really like Rebounds and Darkeyes take on this.

To be honest I have been feeling the same way about some of the threads that I have started. At first I thought that the lack of response was because I was the new guy but I realized that it was because there are so many new posts each day that in two days a new thread is on the second page. I do feel for you and I hope that you are feeling better today. Good luck my friend. PM me anytime.

Hi, {{{{{{{Lexicon}}}}}}}}

(By the way...I think it was mentioned on the sig thread...but I just love the colors in yours. )

Anyhoo...you've always been there for me and, again, it's not being busy, or missing someone's post, or just not wanting to read it in the first place, etc. that I was talking about. Unfortunately I concerned those I care about so please accept my apology.

I'd love to take a look at your site! I'm always impressed with people who are creative on the computer!!

Was it a scary dream and odd one or just neutral. That's fascinating what gets into our subconsciousness. I'm assuming it was the bouncy one. I saw that code on another site and thought it was so cute. I change my sigs regularly depending on my mood or if I see something interesting.

I hope your dream wasn't bad and am sorry if the sig triggered it. Please feel free to PM me if you like on this.

{{{{{{{{{Sabrina}}}}}}}}

{{{{{{{Jan}}}}}}}

You're a sweetie. Leaving group PMs is definitely going the extra mile! (How do you do that by the way?)

Hey brianm! Have I welcomed you to the board yet? (Short term memory loss kicking in...lol)

Thank you for your response! And it's wonderful to see new people!

Looking forward to reading you on here!

Warm wishes...

I wish you the best Azalysa.

(((((((((((Azalysa))))))))))))

Oh! It wasn't a trigger or anything like that and dreams being the way they are - I can't really put my finger on which signature it was. I remember feeling more of a sense of I should have been supportive or something like that.

I have read so many of your posts and I know I may not have always posted in return.

I'm good at feeling guilty when I don't need to.
