People Leaving Site.

Roy

Just a thought more than anything, I find it quite hard when people leave the site, it’s sort of disturbing, it is as if my routine or expectations have been altered.

I understand that some people only join to get an answer to a specific question, others get to the end of their journey and decide it’s time to move on and some find it’s just not for them. I just find it very unsettling, it’s like my life is being altered without my consent. I obviously don’t blame anyone for leaving. Does anyone else feel this?

  • I often look at how well you can all express yourselves and write so eloquently. I can’t and often delete a lot of what I write, what I do write always seems to be disjointed, I have come to realise that I am quite dyslexic. I often wonder if I belong, I sometimes look at profiles and see large friend lists. I’m not looking for friends, I just sometimes feel like an outcast, I do know that most of you are friendly, I think I beat myself up sometimes and think no, I’m not autistic, I then spend a few hours out in the world and then know that I am autistic.  Maths and codes, I can see the answers, writing is really hard.  Sorry I’m just having a bit of a wobble today.

    Roy, I don’t have many private friends on here. I hugely value the ones I do and respect those who prefer not to do that. I might have twice as many if if was brave enough to initiate friend requests. But I have this inbuilt thing of ‘of course they wouldn’t want that, they put up with you enough in the forum’ So instead I’ve always relied on others being kind enough to reach out from their side. Maybe it’s like that for you? Please don’t be thinking of a friends tally as any objective metric of neanvimgfulness whatsoever. Or if your value. Which is incalculable as there is only one you. And I’m glad you’re here.

    Same. It's a matter of being able to cope satisfactorily.
