Does anyone actually really give a s**t?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't mean to be rude or offensive or anything like that but does anyone actually really give a s**t about anyone else on this forum?

I mean I do see a lot of helpful hints and theories banded about from armchair psychologists and the like but does anyone actually still give a s**t once they have turned off their machines at night or is all of this just simply something to pass the time away?

I do. Anything I say is what I genuinely think. Maybe not so much care, but I definitely have respect and interest to people here. Not for everyone so much. I've never lied nor intend to lie on here.

I do. There are some people here that I actually really consider friends and I care about them very much. I am still very upset about KOR and think about her very often and miss her. I also wonder about Vickie and if she is okay. I care very much for many of you. I don't come here often anymore because it is overwhelming for me to do so sometimes but I care very much about some of you.

Some people. Like you notice when they're gone and when they come back and you hope they are doing okay when they're not posting and that sort of thing.

I don't know anyone on the site personally. But, I do have a general concern for everyone's well-being, and try to help from the viewpoint of middle age, when I can. If that's what giving a s**t means, I guess I do.

On here I haven't really made friends. I am interested in the posters here and what hints and such they have and I'm interested in if there are opportunities to help someone, learn something new and get different perspectives on things.

I know that if I died or something nothing would change but I don't mind at all.

Yeah I do, but it remains to be seen if anyone gives a s**t about me back though, besides one or two people I've had semi good relations with. I was pretty erratic when I first joined though, so I can understand why some old guard may be wary of me. Nobody missed me the last time I was gone for a good chunk of time.

When somebody seems to want a question answering, I try to post a helpful reply if I think I have anything useful to say. I guess that's a form of giving a s**t. Just the fact that people share their interest in a particular topic is a sociable thing. I don't know that much more could be expected from people in an online forum. To me, a good social event is often characterised by (hopefully intelligent and respectful) discussion of various topics of interest. It's the meeting of minds via language.

I don't usually think much about WP when I've shut my computer down, apart from a bit of further pondering of some of the subjects raised. But I don't think that's a bad thing. I have other things to do and they need my attention too. I don't expect to be missed when I'm not around for a while.

If you look around the threads, you'll see some about personal tragedies of various kinds where people post to express their sympathy and try to prop up the person who is in trouble, with a few kind words or a bit of advice.

I think you will find your name mentioned here a few times .

Yup, to paraphrase a BB quote 'I do give two shiny shites' Lol.

I like a few people here, even some of the prickly ones, and I find the sharing of information quite useful.

Nothing is permanent, WP is an infrequent stop-over for the majority of members, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

I do give two shiny shites as well.

No the reason I asked is because sometimes I have a lot of problems in my head because I try and function in the world and work hard and get on as well as can be but obviously I stumble and fall and get myself in a right old mess.

I can't always express what is going on because everything happens so quickly before my eyes and then I act spontaneously and I feel like I'm forever walking a fine line.

I come on here and sometimes I get put off asking for help and advice because all I see is psychology.

sometimes I wanna see something real that means something and not something that looks like it's just fallen out of a text book.

I know that people do care really.

Soz if I caused any offense.

Interesting question. If this forum was gone I'd feel very upset.

I don't think I would be all that upset if for instance one of you died. But I do like people here and I wish the best for all of us

I think the community is so big I often do not remember people, I just give them information regardless of who they are.

^^What are all your characters from?^^

I do give a s**t, actually.
It would be nice to be one of those armchair psychologists who always says the right thing at the right time, fixes the problem, then both people go away feeling better.
I tend to agonise over certain posts because I can see someone's in pain but I don't know what to say so I say nothing or I say the wrong thing. Then I beat myself up for the rest of my natural life.
I really need to get off this forum because it does contribute to my depression, but then who am I going to speak to?

I do, and I really feel like most of us here do as well. Sometimes we just have a hard time expressing our emotions is all, is what I believe.
