The unpopular WP members club

Post Reply New Topic

...

I am unpopular, because the quoted user has abandoned me.

I beg your pardon?

I'll state for the record that in some people's eyes I might appear to be popular for having posted consistenly on other threads but, Truthfully I don't feel popular because of that merely enjoying posting in those areas as, I find it interesting and amusing.
Now, I feel that this thread is the domain of any/all whom feel unpopular regardless.

Identity, there is no need to lurk heck, I can recall doing that when I was on Yahoo many years ago since hardly anyone took notice of me..

Sincerely,

Hi, posting here because after reading the original post on this thread, I realize it's true. I've had a couple nice conversations since I started posting on WP but a couple not so nice ones too. People seem to be like.. "you're new here so we're going to try to get you to leave. Go away, you don't have Asperger's."
Also, I agree that even though someone may seem popular to others, or even if someone has made a lot of posts, this doesn't automatically mean they feel popular. This thread is about acceptance and comfort, right?

That's very surprising if true.
The whole forum's supposed to be about support, but this thread is about making people feel less unpopular, I guess.

I dunno. Maybe that's just how I'm interpreting it. I guess I've been known to take things the wrong way, mostly as insulting when the other person didn't mean it that way.
Can I count that as a symptom of AS?

Hi, Ten!

Dear b9,
I did not know that Artrat was banned and I did not know that Artrat was having problems with anyone or being picked on.

Now I feel bad.

Hi jk1. I just want to make sure you get replied to directly to make sure you don't get rejected. (:

Hi there Sylkat

Well, it's somewhat common at least, especially because it's often hard to read whether people are being serious or not on the internet.
Whilst you do get the odd insult here and there, they're usually dealt with by moderators so if you ever feel insulted you can always let them know, if it bothers you at least.

Yeah, I try to do that. It hasn't been anything bad enough for me to complain though. Usually instead of blaming them (after the initial reaction in my head) I try to think about it and tell myself they didn't mean it that way, and attribute it to my own quirks.

Thanks! That's nice of you.

I guess I don't tend to post messages that respond to others or that invite responses from others. When I address other posters, I'm a bit scared that I might somehow offend them. So I end up posting neutral-sounding messages.

I don't blame you. I probably tend to do the same thing, too, but lately I've kind of been branching out to talk about things I'm interested in and that makes it a little easier.

Not sure if it classifies as true but as a new member I've seen a few exchanges in WP that made me feel the same way as AmazingMess. I've seen messages where members said things like "you're too good looking to be an aspie", "some people want a diagnosis to be cool" and other things among those lines. It is sad because I saw WP as a place full of people "like me", but I do realize I was too hopeful and trying once more to fit in, to find my place somewhere (It won't happen I just don't fit period).

Anyway, I decided there is a lot of people here and some great and not so great topics, so I'll to stick around and contribute when I believe I have something relevant to say.

Can I be unpopular too guys?!?! Pretty please?

Just dropping by to say hello. put the sunny in here because it is gray and snowy today.
