Sick of being ignored in replies on WP

Post Reply New Topic

What does this one mean?

I am joking with you.

When we fail to understand what is being said we get paranoid.

Not quite sure I just though I would use an original one.

I think it means laughing on the floor hitting it because the joke is so funny.

But I could be wrong.

I have had plenty of my posts get no attention it happens us all.

Edit I looked it up it means.

In My Arrogant Opinion.

I guess I got that one wrong.

OP, it crossed my mind that your screen name might deter some people because not everyone likes the term aspie and some are vehemently opposed to it. That might seem trivial to you though nevertheless it could be a factor. Some people find it frivolous, so perhaps they leap from the name to discounting anything you might have to say, if they even read it. Perhaps they don't even get as far as reading it?

Here is a link to the "aspie" dislike.

Thanks


I suspected that too, but I wasn´t sure.
Everyone is expected to know them.

Look this goes for all of us if your posts get ignored don't get paranoid.

I have had plenty of my posts ignored but I have also failed to reply to countless good posts because I was too lazy to expend the metal energy.

We are all autistic here we should not be getting paranoid among ever other.

If you find you get no replies try something different and don't give up.

I can't think of anything to say. Been trying to think of a good comeback, but there isn't anything coming. So in keeping with the spirit of this thread, I have quoted you and responded to your message. Sorry, OP, I am too lazy to quote you.

Most people are blatantly disregarding this thread rule, which is very insulting to the OP.

I am one of them but having "aspie" in the username doesn't make me ignore someone. I just feel mildly embarrassed.

The worst is the combination of being ignored and being the thread killer. Starting a thread and getting zero reply. That's the ultimate "being ignored".

EDIT: Fixed a mistake.

Get over yourself. Say something relevant and people will respond. If people dont respond it is not relevant. Learn from those who dont respond and those who do. You are not the only autistic on WP. This is where you come to learn. So stop whining and learn...

Lol. I always thought your posts got a lot of responses, lots more than mine! I often feel as if maybe I'm not interesting enough, or maybe it's my wording. I get ignored a lot and while I suppose I am used to it, it still makes me feel like crap. A friend I met online is actually writing a book about being ignored. We were in a group together and the group was supposed to be a tight knit group of friends, but they still had their little cliques and we were the outsiders. I could post something and then someone else would post pretty much the same thing and get a ton of comments whereas mine would get one or two if any. Same here. I'm probably just boring! Or too wordy.

Hardly anyone has ever responded to any of my posts here. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, but on second thought, this place is full of autistic people, and autistic people are probably just not as into replying to things, in general, as the NT's on the other boards I visit are.
I mean, if a question is asked, people will answer, but otherwise - the give and take of conversation, that sort of thing - it doesn't come naturally to us.

Do you still over think things when writing when inebriated? I find that I take things a little easier then, but not as easy as most people seem to do. I can never quite turn myself off lol! I, for one, type MUCH slower in that condition, the few times I have. (I was tipsy, not drunk, maybe that's why. Well, I don't wanna lose all control and inhibition. In influenced condition I prefer to just relax and play Solitaire on my PC so I get even more relaxed. I'm not there often, but when I am, I wanna get the most out of it. As someone with a lot of anxiousness and nervousness it's good to feel really relaxed sometimes, sedated almost.

Speaking of slow communication, there are PMs, emails and snail mail that have taken me not just weeks but months to write. Not because they're so hard to write, but because I get distracted, I rewrite and edit a zillion times, I add things, I wonder if something is okay to write, I worry that have forgotten something important (and sometimes I have too).
I once had a pen pal in Israel, and one time I sent a letter back to her after some weeks, and she replied with something along the line of it had been so nice to hear from me so soon! It's funny, but it also goes to show that I was always so slow with it (seeing that this was 20 something years ago. It was a wake up call, but I am a worrywart and a procrastinator so what ya gonna do eh?




It's the preferred thing IRL but not on here. Feeling isolated among your own people so to speak, is lonely.


It's not that simple, Awiddershinlife. I've seen lots of relevant posts go unnoticed. That's to be expected, there are so many threads, so many members, so much going on here (and that's a good thing, slow forums are boring), so who will be quoted and responded to is a lot of luck of the draw. And people are more likely to respond to someone they know better. I know I've looked at some posts just because it's someone I've noticed, but if the title had been written by someone else, I wouldn't have.



Very true, sharkattack. There are def times I don't have the energy to reply. There are lots of posts I have meant to write but never got around to.

And sharkattack, TBH, I think this comment of yours was a little unnecessary:


Over thinking things is one our best qualities IMO. And that type of comment very often mean that someone is taking a shot at you. I know that's not what you mean, because I have seen so many of your other posts. But a person could be forgiven for jumping to the conclusion that you were. And I don't think that's necessary on here. We have enough problems as it is.


QuiversWhiskers and Jensen, what are you talking about? I'm the threadkiller here -_-

B19, if someone has that kind of reaction to "aspie", then they need to get over themselves. Ignoring someone because of their user name is ridiculous. I roll my eyes whenever I see Aspergian, but if I saw that as someone's username I wouldn't ignore them because of it. That would be childish. And if we're gonna look at that, there are plenty of names I don't like; those with numbers in their name or anyone who calls themselves something about nickname, and anyone whose username says it's great to be this way, which is it so not IMO, so maybe I should ignore them too.
And by the same logic I should reply to everyone who is named something about turtle.

So i guess you got your wish. Weve all gone on for five pages responding to you.

But it can be dangerous- posting while under the influence.

There are so many threads most people do not have the time to reply. Also since people here have been told they are "wrong" their whole lives, so when they disagree with a poster they are reluctant to criticize so they stay silent.

Even the most active folks with high post counts only get a fraction of their posts responded to with other posts (folks may 'respond' by thinking about what you said- but dont always post). And when they do post its usually a response you didnt expect.

I will say "a clear sky is blue", and someone will respond with "that's a damned LIE! The sky is orange!". And then go off an a rant.
