I pet people who are depressed, give them a hug, bite them, and say good things about them? And i mean all those things. Including the biting thing and petting. Because i could see where some people may believe i am mocking them. But seriously, you cant bite people in real life is a small gesture of affection but i really wish you could. And the second highest form of affection i've got is petting people. I really feel the love when i pet my cat.

from the "cat" point of view, the biting thing seems normal. but someone that doesnt have a cat, or doesnt understand would probly think you were a nut. no offence. I, being a cat owner since birth, understand. meow!

Is this a joke? If someone walked up to me and did that because I 'looked depressed' I'd deck them

I do enjoy being bitten, but only by my husband and certainly not when I'm depressed, and not too hard, mind you. I hate being petted. (Yuck!) But I must agree with Ladysmokeater. I think most people would be quite shocked at being bitten and highly annoyed at being petted. Unless the person is a cat...or dog. Then by all means, indulge.

Sean may not have been the best person to try it on 8O ...

Personally, online, I think it's cool. In real life, I could go for the petting, but not the biting unless it was from someone I was going out with, in which case I wouldn't mind.

I mean purely online, any attempt i make to even communicate muchless console a person sounds more like a mock than sincere in real life.

Yes, but you'd have an EXCUSE to deck them. Nomaken, would you let them deck you? They'd feel better THEN!

May i tell u that why the hell would u bite some one? It just seems like the most stupidist thing to do if some one bit me i would look at them strange and punch them.

Whether or not you mean it, I think it comes off as weird unless people have some kind of context. USe sparingly.
