i posted something the other day it got a bunch of views but no replies, idk but does that kind of hurt anyone elses feelings?

I don't think I'd be hurt but I'd be a little upset that nobody cared to reply. What was the thread called?

 

[Duke of Prunes]

Happens to me all the time, but it doesn't bother me at all. It bothers me when I kill threads though :lol

 

[VIncymon]

I've noticed this lately. Just goes to show you, there is no susbstitute for real-live friends :-(

The only thing i can think of doing now is leaving my current threads and stop posting new ones.

 

[leonardess]

No. it's only t'interweb.

 

[Use Your Illusion]

Yes, this kind of bothers me. But just one response can make a huge difference. Just like how, for me, one good conversation can turn the day into a good one, a response to something I've posted can have a similar effect.

I also try to keep in mind where it is I'm posting. This is a Social Anxiety Forum so, if they are anything like me, many people will be too nervous to post a reply. Worrying that their post will not be helpful enough, or that other people will judge thier post negatively and things like that.

Well, I've been posting on forums & such for 17+ years now...in the beginning, it would kind of chap me if no one posted, but later I realized that it means nothing bad on the OP when this happens. Some posts inspire comment more than others, and that's just how it goes.

Don't worry about it, its nothing personal it happens to everyone. I used to get paranoid about it too

 

[Lisa]

I wouldnt worry about it. You will also see others' threads left unreplied to.

 

[PickleNose]

I don't make too many threads. I usually try to at least respond if a thread interested me enough to view it in the first place. I figure the person didn't just sit there and type out a post so everyone could ignore them. Having said that, I don't know what would be more rude. If I didn't respond because I didn't know what to say or if I did respond but said something goofy and off topic.

Only if I'm feeling extra sensitive that day. Other than that, I don't feel really bad, but it is nice when some one takes the time to reply.

all your post have replies. :blank

but yeah it would suck if i didn't get any replies.

 

[SourD]

Yes, it makes me feel so stupid and petty. I always get the mental images multiple people reading my thread and laughing, thinking about how stupid I am, annoying, etc. you know, typical SA paranoia. Of course it's only a message board so people don't take it seriously... and I realize that these people aren't giving me or my threads a second thought, but I can't help it. I do get a bit bothered by it. Only because it makes me feel really dumb.

Tips:

1) Write short sentences. Not a block of paragraph.

2) Check your grammar

3) Write something that can lead to a discussion eg. a question

4) Don't write something that no one can relate to

 

[andy1984]

Yeah it would hurt me, but I'd wait at least a day for people to reply before I started hating them.

I can see how it would hurt your feelings. I am sorry that your thread did not get any replies. This has happened to me before and when it does, I just reply to myself and talk about the thread to myself. I usually joke and say " This thread must have cooties " Usually someone will jump in after that and if they dont- I just keep replying to myself. :b

 

[MissMay1977]

It is kind of like visitor messages. I never get them so I just leave myself visitor messages. :b

 

[strawberryjulius]

I've only posted a topic once and got a few replies. It doesn't really bother me if people don't reply. I don't really write about interesting things anyway.

 

[AussiePea]

If I am asking a question which I think people are capable of answering then I can feel a little let down if I get no replies. However at the same time I am probably one of the worst offenders since I read quite a lot of threads which I could add to and don't or I nod to myself in agreement and don't actually type in my thoughts.

 

[rumjungle]

Yeah I made a thread about life coaches and if anyone had an interest or experience with them...apparently not...:|

I know that the name has earned a bad rep. but many good psychologists offer life coaching which would include career counselling and exposure therapy I'm sure.
