Hi, I come in here every now and again to see what is going on and see if there is anything that can help me or I can put a word or two into... for some reason I just don't feel very welcome here. I have said it before in chat with MJ and a few others that this place just isn't as comfortable as I thought it would be.... Hope some can understand... it isn't everyone... just some

Hi somebody,

I'm so sorry to hear that you're experiencing these feelings. I've had them, and they can make you feel sad and lonely inside. Is there anything we can do to help? I'll be at chat between 6 and 7pm your time this evening if you'd like to be there. We can talk about it.

I hope I see you there.

Greg

I'm sorry that you haven't felt welcome here. When you were here more often in the past you made a lot of really good, helpful responses to people. I can tell that you have a lot to give and are a very caring person. Not feeling welcome here I hope that you can feel more welcome here.

<font color=orange>There is an easy answer to your problem that is neat, plausible, and wrong.

I post sometimes on another forum too, and I don't feel particularly welcome there Not feeling welcome here I tell myself that if I posted more, I would get to know people there better, but I don't have enough time at the moment Not feeling welcome here I will look out for your posts here, and please feel free to pm me any time! Not feeling welcome here

Take care,
Fuzzy

I, too, am sorry you feel this way. What else can we do but answer your posts and if you make it to chat, chat? Remember there will always be snerts and "looters" as I call them, where you go. You have to learn to ignore some ppl. If enough of us don't answer your post, remember we are dealing with being "unwell" also.

good wishes... maybe see you around?

Thank you for the replys... I guess some of it might be myself... I really am unsure of myself in most everything I do. I don't even message anyone first in MSN, ICQ, or Yahoo because I am afraid of bothering someone...I will make sure that when I do get online I will make an attempt to feel more welcome then I had been...Thanks again...

Lady_Dragus,
The more I think about it the more I feel it was most likely the way I feel. I have a hard time feeling as though I fit in...For example, I live in a town that I have lived in for 7 years... I do not know my neighbors... I know two people in this town that if I had to call on someone for anything all I could do is hope one of them are home because if not I have no one else here to call...I don't go outside ... well I don't go out of my bedroom for all that matters... so being social is hard for me. I think I was just feeling sorry for myself and not feeling welcome was how in my mind it worked itself out as.

Hi Somebody,
I remember feeling that way when I first came too. I'm glad you posted it so you could get feedback and hugs and stuff

Hang around awhile and pretty soon you will feel on the inside. I have always been an "outside looking in" person and have come to feel welcome here after posting and sharing significant parts of me.

Hope this helps
Willow

Just jump into any conversations and let people get to know you. Some of the best friends I have I've made by butting in on other people's threads. One of my very best friends, a member here called angel04, I met at another site. I met her by jumping into one of her threads and started off by saying, "I hope you don't mind me butting in..." We've been best friends ever since. She lives 3000 miles away and we talk once or twice by phone almost every week. You never know if there's a friendship like that waiting to happen for you if you just jump in!

I hope that you and anyone who's having a problem breaking thru, will let us know and give us a chance. It took me awhile to fit in too, but I'm very glad I stuck it out!

Hope I see you soon!

Greg

Hi somebody, nice to meet you.

I'm sorry you don't feel welcomed here. Now I have'nt chat here yet, I prefer the forum as for now.

I'm new here, so I posted a couple of messages on the board to briefly present myself and to ask some questions.

I've found the people here very nice, and the moderators are doing an excellent work.

Maybe it would be nice for you to post a message and to introduce yourself. This is only a suggestion, feel free to do as you wish.

Sincerely,

Starbuck

Ozzie, Rapunzel, Fuzzy Bear, skyBdark, Willow, Greg, starbuck, Lady, and everyone else that I may have missed... Thank you so much for your warm welcome... everyone is just so wonderful... I am really looking forward to trying to get more involved... My T said I needed to get out more and meet people...I can go back on Monday and tell him that I met a bunch of new people that are really nice... and I even got out of my bedroom to do it... Will have to work on getting outside maybe next...

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