The pattern

Deleted User

Me: 'I don't feel I belong'.

One or more other people: 'Of course you belong'

Brief period of being made to feel I belong

Make a post.It gets ignored

Meanwhile others are  responding to each other.

It reminds me of my last attempt at F2F socialising. I struggled to initiate conversation, but did my best to reply to other people's comments. There was a deafening silence. Meanwhile among everyone else the conversation flowed freely.

I am by default quite asocial, but I do periodically make the attempt to socialise. It's invariably varying degrees of a total '**** up'. It hurts.

    I admit I haven't commented on anything yours so far, and I've been a bit less active on forum as well

    Me too, though for me it's more about answering to some question and not about choosing to whom. I would say that's prevailing pattern here on forum, so please don't get upset because of that. There is few members that occassionally gets more chatty with just one person.

    please don't compare your inside to others outside, everyone loses there

    btw I used to play a lot of DnD at college, started at 2nd edition
