I usually just post about stuff that I'm frustrated or curious about.

I have an easier time writing about this than talking about it.

I will post if:

-I want to share an article
-I want to ask a question
-I feel I can contribute something meaningful to a discussion
-I feel I might be able to help somebody with a problem

I don't post unless I have something to say. Something has to trigger me to post. They just seem to add up on their own and surprise me i have so many. On one forum in March I made 1700+ posts in that one month and that was after I had already received the coveted custom 5000+ post face

I usually post when my husband is in need of a little 'boost' or a reminder of how much I love him and how amazing a person he is. I joined a few years back I think, I can't imagine I've posted more than a dozen times.

I generally post to boost discussions on important topics that receive too little attention!

I mostly post in the ‘In-Depth Adult Life Discussion Forum’ - as the pace of discussions in this forum tends to be slower, and more focused than in the other active forums; that is the fast pace in active forums too often allows important topics “get lost in the shuffle” so to speak.

The ‘In-Depth Adult Life Discussion Forum’ also contains discussions threads that end, or are misunderstood; hence important perspectives can receive too little attention!

Personally, I am still in ?self-discovery? mode, after being diagnosed a year ago. The topics on WP give me something to reflect on and then write about. Just about everything I post here also goes into my journal. Including this reply.

This ^^^^ although I'm waiting for a diagnosis and I just jot down the thread titles so I can gather information when the time comes to write about myself for the assessment.

Sometimes i post to ask questions or answer them and sometimes because i just want to type things and im not bothered about replies. I dont really socialise here. I dont post to improve my point score.

I post because I am addicted to loitering around WP. Have NEVER posted just to up my post count. Dont understand why anyone would do that. To me a high post count just means that you dont have a life! Lol!

I never post to up my post count. I don't really follow my number of posts, nor do I care. I think I've posted so many here because of impulsitivity. I have ADHD, so sometimes I am desperate to let out my thoughts and feelings.

I like to post mainly on the more lighthearted posts, such as "Replace a Word With Cat," or "The A-Z of..." I post on the member support posts and to talk about things I like. I have over 900 posts now, but I don't post just to raise my counts.
