Still around- in lurk mode

Feel like I'm a outlier. Somewhat  apart from the rest of you. I regularly check for new posts, but feel unable to contribute.

  • I think many of us feel like outliers here  .

    Maybe that's the point.

  • It's trying to find common ground to use as means of interacting . Topics like ' employment' and 'university' are regular topics on many forums, understandably so, but ones that make  me feel somewhat removed from others. Be it this forum,or any other forum.I struggle for things to say  that aren't ground hog day perpetually revisited as  each day is very much the same for me. Whether spoken or written I'm a very limited conversationalist. That being due to  limited life experience , rather than low verbal ability..

  • I often feel the same as you, except for me it's my lack of digital skills, age just different interests to most on here that leave me feeling sidelined. I don't watch endless video's on you-tube, cartoons, disney, anime, I don't do photo's and I don't understand many of the acronyms, emoji's and stuff that others use.

    I'm posting less and starting fewer new threads as they get so few replies, I feel most posters pass me by like ships in the night.
