    I often see here that when I reply or post something other people often ignore what I have said.

    Greetings to California... I may regret saying this, yet have noticed it for some time, and so shall attempt this Post, here.

    I have noticed that you at times reply to *old* Threads, sometimes just a few months, maybe even a Year or more...? I might not be correct.

    My own opinion is that this is not always a good idea, since the Starter of the Thread may not be reading anymore, even though their "Account" (UserName and Identity) is still present. This may be reason for a lot of "being ignored" in such cases...? (I might appreciate others' opinions about this aspect also.)

    The thing to do is to start a New "Thread"... and you may also try to add some unique perspective or word to it. (Not just titled "Hi" or "Confused" or "Diagnosis" or common single words like that...!)

    Hi California, think that's mainly a matter of the grass always being greener on the other side of the fence. I also think there's nothing wrong with you on here, you fit in perfectly. It's just, if you post something it probably means something to you, otherwise you wouldn't post it because you aren't (or at least don't come across as) someone who chats just for the sake of chatting, and then you notice much more when nobody responds. It's not that you put people off or something, it's just not possible to respond to everything. I actually find it even impossible to respond to everything I'd like to respond to... Hope it doesn't put you off!

    Hi California, I've seen you around here a few times! I've replied to quite a few of your threads and I've found them interesting  :)   I think you fit in here beautifully. I think everyone feels a little bit lonely and left out sometimes, I do too if I'm having a bad day. Are you feeling okay today?
