You do learn a lot of things from what people post here. This can be very helpful in conversations, but if you rely too much on forums I suppose it can change your way of communicating to the point you have to put in extra effort to adapt to real world conversations...

 

Yes, but I'm usually talking to myself half the time anyway. I'm genuinely surprised whenever someone replies to me or quotes me.

 

Definitely. I don't even know why I post here sometimes. I guess I like typing.

 

Yes it does feel like Im talking to a wall, but then I talk to walls in real life anyway. I do like people here. But I know I will never meet 99% of you all. I really dont know why I keep typing. I could quite easily lurk and still keep coming back here.

 

Not really but I don't post to get a response or interact with other members very often.

 

half and half, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, depends on if people respond to your post, if it is something that would be worth responding to.

 

Not really

 

Yes, but unlike most of my wall-friends, it is a wall that occasionally talks back

 

I run into that wall now and again just to make sure I'm not yet dead.

 

It is nice to see that others have the same problems I have, and there is helpful info here, but as far as posting, I do feel like I'm talking to myself. Not even really sure why I post, unless I'm hanging on to that small chance that someone will talk to me. I'm so tired of being misunderstood by people who don't suffer from SA.

 

I don't really feel that way on the forums, but I do when I'm private messaging someone on a forum and they don't respond back right away.

 

Sometimes it feels that way. Its nice to talk to people online, but it isn't really a substitute for talking to someone in person.

 

Sort of, but I like forums better. In chat I can't get responses from as many people. Also you get more detailed responses on a forum than you would get on chat or in real life.

 

I complete waste of time. I dont know why I still do it.

 

:ditto

I often don't even remember which threads I've posted in.

hahaha very much so, sometimes no one even acknowledges your post and you just think dang I waited for nothing

On other forums that I've tried to join up, yeah.

Here? no. Maybe it's just because of the type of forum it is, but I think this community is different. People seem interested in helping each other, and seem understanding of what you have to say.

It's like talking to a wall that's got it's back turned to you and is having a conversation with itself about how awesome it thinks it is.

Well, this wall is answering back. How ya doing guys?

I do, but it doesn't mean people don't read what you say. That's a bad habit that I have. If I don't get a reply or something, I think I was ignored. Lots of people are reading what we say, and we don't even know it!

Also, I've always liked your avatar I just never said anything up until now.

 

I already posted in this thread.

 

Sometimes, yes.

But that's no big deal. I talk to inanimate objects all the time. Just this morning in fact, I told my alarm clock to shut up. Then it started going on about the weather and traffic, and I was like "uhhh, what did I just say?!?"

 

I'm a human WALL! I"m a human wall! People stare at me and make me crazy!

Do you ever rffelll like a bookcase ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!?

or a painting on the wall

oh and on occasion I have been known to be 'the great wall of China'

 

Yea sorta, but i really don't care. I like thinking about stuff on here. It keeps me entertained.

 

yeah....except when it just annoys you

 

Sort of, sometimes.

 

Sometimes. Then when I'm not ignored it's an infraction. FML.

...not always.

 

Pretty much, yes, especially since my posts are usually ignored. I hate message boards and yet still use them. I've pledged several times to completely ban all message board usage, but it doesn't look like I'm doing too well on that resolve.

 

Good luck with that one icedover.
I rarely post threads but I find that if I post something which I hope to get a response to then I normally do.
