Ever want to meet WP people in real life?

Post Reply New Topic

Used to be the same here. Did a lot of work on it but that is a different story. Weird thing my friends used to say was that I was the most extrovert socially anxious person they'd ever met. But I'm not extrovert or else I would need to spend the majority of my time with people, whereas I can spend weeks and not see anyone at all then go out an be right as rain. my friends on the other hand spend a lot more time with a lot more people. Even if it sometime makes them ill, one might go out out again especially because it hadn't gone as well the night before. I still can get very anxious, just less so with people I can relate to. That it the beauty of of these meets, you can just walk away. No strings. I'm used to having panic attacks, people rushing out and so on. It is not something that would bothers me and I wouldn't try to go after them or ask them if they were OK because there is nothing worse than that.

I hate bars...and parties.

Yeah. It would be neat seeing how you all are in real life.

I would like to meet fellow cat lovers from both WP and the Siamese Internet Cat Club. That would be nice.

I have met two people from here in real life (Raylynn and LiendaBalla--I met the latter before she joined WP), and I am always open to meeting more.

no, I tried forum meetings before (no-autistic local forum) and didn't like the whole stuff. I don't like to meet a bunch of strangers like this.

i'd like meeting people but i probably wouldnt talk very much or interact. i'd just get a good look at them and want to leave hah

I've been able to meet poopylungstuffing and hang out at her performance venue Super Happy Fun Land. It's been a positive experience. Wonderful music, artwork, and performances. She has a maternal sense of creativity.

I do understand the trepidation with meeting a total stranger, even a fellow aspie. I would say aspies are kindred souls, but that does not mean everyone of us shares the same interests, attitudes, and motivations. Lucky for me, poopylungstuffing shares similar sensibilities with my own, and so it's been a good experience.

Yeah there should be one big meet up, it would be fun, I think!

Yes. I have an idea as to who's who (of the people I know in real life), but would like to know for sure.

(I'm using my brother's computer's; mine's broken. I'll write more later)

How about on autism pride day june 18?

I remember that they opened a 'feedback' thread about the meeting (in the local forum that I talked it about above) and everyone said that i was the most quiet person there contrary to what I appear on the forum and chat (I don't know how a person can appear talkative online :S).

The true reason for being quiet is that I wasn't really enjoying my time ....I was just eating dinner with complete bunch of strangers and I couldn't pretend that I was enjoying bcoz simply I know no one there! I didn't know what to talk about with them so I stayed observant.

... i like sticky skin he he... i dont know why but i find that warm stickyness quite calming. i dont like hairy or otherwise rough skin either... i love hugging, all the time, repeatedly. dont really like massages much unless its a very firm heavy one (not painfully heavy though) i do like deep pressure rubbing, soft touch is not my thing i like deep pressure touch. i do like getting itched too he he...

id be very pleased if you posted that type of description of your likes and dislikes in my sensory thread. would you mind doing that?

Oh yes, throw me in a room of WP users and I'll be happy all day. We would gossip about all the threads and stuff, and we could be all like "I'm user so-and so!" "OMG really? I've always wanted to meet you in person!" Same goes for all of the other tons of forums I'm a member of.

I could care less if I'm meeting other people whether they hug me, say hi, or whatever. As long as I don't have to eat bad food, I'm fine with whatever

i agree id love to be thrown in a room with all of you...

selo please take a look at my sensory integration disorder and likings thread.... i like to let people let the cmmunity know what they like

We'll have to get Quatermas in here to describe his meeting with Sleepy Dragon and me. He thought he would last 30 minutesw but he stayed for 2 hours, mainly because Sleepy Dragon's sons were there.

To NT me, it was a very rewarding experience.
