Chat again!?

I thought chat rooms were for some support FIRST. Members who don't require one on one support, just not frivolous flirting and giggling shouldn't have to be remanded to the support room where it can become terribly busy and depressing.

A little more of a supportive natured chat was all I asked for.. ASKED for. and I was told no. I was also told that the teen room the social room, and the 21+ room are all social and for fun. WHO KNEW?

The singularity of isolationism seems to be spreading. I'm terribly dissappointed.

Hey Sky,
I'm available to support you if you'd like. I don't know how to set up our own room ,however. I'd have to leave that to you...wanna?
Okie

i'm sorry. i was doing some study at the same time and didn't get to reply to you in time before you left. i will listen if you come back in.

Sky, all the rooms are for support yes that is true.

General is for serious stuff.

21 chat and social are for social chat that is also supportive.

As you know, I was in and out of 21 chat and it seemed supportive to me.

You could have PM'd me and we could have gone to Support chat if that is what you needed.

I'm sorry you feel that way, all you had to do was ask someone to go to support chat with you.

I wish you well.

I find a lot of people are not liking the 21+ chat because a lot of people flock to it and the minors are feeling left out when they need someone to talk too.

We don't make the rules >>>>>>> We just humble members who give alot and gain trust >>>> And then The rooms are there for the comings and goings as each one pleases.

So I am ,,of the belief how it works. I maybe stupe and totally wrong though. ( Haven't been a member as long as some others.)

Just re-read post ,,,,,,, Yea ,,, Support is sometimes a bit ( understatement ) deppressing as anyone knows who has jumped in there for another member as they need.........

Just remembered >>>> In Kudos forum there is a post from earlier titled ,,,,,,

((((((((((((((((( 21 ROOM ))))))))))))))))))).

Looks supportive to me.

sky I was there and yes we were being light hearted because that is what most of us needed at the time, From what I saw you did not ask for support, you asked if anyone wanted a more serious conversation, which many of us replied no we don't want serious we want to be fun

Sorry you felt your needs were not met, Maybe next time you could try to be more clear about what you are in need of , or if you see that those in chat do not understand what you are wanting maybe try rephrasing your desires.

It sounds like sky went into the 21+ chatroom and asked the some or all enter into a supportive conversation with her? Most to all weren't willing to do that, or weren't aware of the need? I hope I have that right?

When we enter into a chatroom and it's being used for its specific purpose (and it this case it seems it was), we should enter into the existing conversation as we can, or we can do as sky did and make a specific request. In this case, as I see it, members can either grant the request or not. The conversation can split off, or move to another room.

It sounds as if the support chatroom was suggested by those who were involved in the more lighthearted conversation? If that's the case, and it was stated with respect, I think that's fine as well.

I wish I had a better answer to this, but it really seems that there was a need requested which is OK, then the need was either not understood or declined (with the suggestion of using another room somewhere), which is OK as well.

In these cases, we can either join in the majority conversation, state our needs and see if anyone begins chatting with us, move to another room and ask someone to join us, or visit chat at a later date.

I appreciate all who have posted and hope a good night in chat.

From this point, if there are any further responses, please put them in PM.
