why i think WP should be used in moderation.

Post Reply New Topic

i feel more alienated on WP than i do in real life. in real life, i do not expect anyone to understand my curious ideas, and when i started on WP i did expect people to understand.

but on WP, everyone seems to be very interested in displaying their plumage, and in real life, people are just trudging along with their day.

there are so many things about myself that can not be conveyed in just my written words, and i have come to understand that here on WP, i am not seen for anything other than what i express in words.

the nuances of my personality, and the slight expressions on my face, and the things i choose to look at in the real world that attract people to want to look at me being me, are not conveyed here on WP, where only words can be seen.

i realized after a few months of being here, that a description is worth 1/1000 th of a real life experience with me.

people may say "hmmm...that was well worded", but they will never say "wow! i relate to the way you see the world because i see how your personality bends and stretches with the convolutions of daily experiences".

so i have almost retreated from WP, because it is a grind of words and phrases, and those that can stamp out a well worded post that captures their mood at that instant of time are the ones who will attract a following of people who are interested to hear what they will say next.

my mind is always in a flux state, and i can never state exactly what my personality is at any given instant, and so my posts are largely ignored.

WP has taught me that the real world is so much more promising of satisfaction derived from people who "know me", because all the time i have been on WP, all i have managed to do is write lots of stuff which is a snapshot of one aspect of me, and it is not very attractive to read because it is not a moving drama, but a slice in time.

in real life, i do not have to say anything. people look at me and they know the flow i am in, and they can flow with me.
i may screw my face up and shake my head and say nothing at something i see, but it will make many people who see me understand where i am coming from.

here on WP, i must write a long winded description of an instant in my flow, and if people like what i wrote, it means little because what i am thinking 2 seconds after posting it is a whole new story.

WP has taught me that the real world is so dynamic, and it contains the possibility of anyone ever really knowing me in the flow of time.
on WP, all people see of me is what i chose to write in one instant like a snapshot of a sequence.

anyway that is all i have to say about that in words, and the rest of what i feel will remain with me.

This forum is too depressing in anything more than small doses. MOPE, MOPE, MOPE.

Immigrate to Canada. All medical records are sealed unless you sign a waiver for work or such. You would be safe to raise your kids here free of discrimination because in order for CPS to be onto you, there would have to be a complaint that you were abusing or neglecting your kids.

I don't spend as much time on WP as I used to. I am usually working or spending time with my NT friends.....or looking for work in the law firms so I won't have to push shopping carts anymore.

i understand what you mean, i think. but you are someone who i would be truly interested to know in real life, perhaps partly because i wonder how your words translate your inner or outer self. i always get a little excited to read what you have to say, and i miss you when you do not seem to be around. that probably sounds a little weird, but i don't know how else to be, besides honest and forthright. your words and opinions are of value to hyperlexian.

I like your posts, though I don't always say. I rarely read long posts, but yours are usually worth it.

I haven't literally said, "wow! I relate to the way you see the world because I see how your personality bends and stretches with the convolutions of daily experience".

But that's mainly because that's your way of wording things and not mine, I simply wouldn't be able to think of those words. But I do think something like that. This is because you write in detail about your daily life and because you use unique metaphors. Your metaphors are so good at conveying a state of mind and a perspective that I frequently have the delusion that I understand you a lot better than I actually do.

I do get your point that what you write here is a tiny fraction of your actual life. No matter how good your metaphors are at conveying your mental state, they can still only convey a fraction of what is actually going on. And we can't see any non-verbals nor do we know anything that is actually going on in your life other than what you choose to describe.

But just because nobody here can get the total picture of you doesn't mean we aren't getting anything of you. Some of you does still come across, even if it's a tiny portion.
