Just a place for anyone to be silly, playful and whimsical.
This place just seems to be silly, playful and whimsical. If you want to do that sort of thing then I suggest you all go and start a thread for that purpose and leave us serious people to get on with doing serious things in serious ways. Bah humbug !
Was that aimed at me? Or I should say my post. I did apologise to people and know I sounded grumpy.
Hell no. You silly goose! This was my attempt at a wholly fresh piece of humour....sorry if it was "too soon" for you to view it independently....and in all fairness, this wasn't funny - but I tried!
Sorry for any recoil or upset caused to you. x
No, you are wrong. My life is freaking perfect and extremely simple in every respect. I am perfect, measured and brilliant. How dare you think it is OK to suggest otherwise !
INSERT - OK, given the circumstances, not the most appropriate second attempt at humour, given the context, self-immolation emoji.
Whereas now I have just upset you by taking it the wrong way.
No Zoe - this is not true. YOU have not upset me, I have upset myself for not being more careful.
I think we all worry about messing things up, along with the million other worries. Life is very complicated.
I really don’t want you to be upset. Sorry I shouldn’t have said anything. That’s what confused me so much, after you had been reassuring and kind on my post. And I couldn’t work it out so thought I should ask. That’s the thing, I never know when to shut my mouth and I suppose for selfish reasons I asked so as not to sit there wondering about it all night. Whereas now I have just upset you by taking it the wrong way. I can see now it was just my idiotic brain running away with presumptions but that’s not fair on you. I don’t want to be someone that upsets the balance of the forum in anyway. I’ve been trying to contribute more instead of feeling sorry for myself that I feel like an outsider, and it feels like it’s working, but I also worry I’m going to mess it up. Anyway, I’m going to do something to show you that you really don’t need to be upset and I’m going to add you as a friend on here (when I work out how). And that is a big thing for me as I never do that, but I want to show you that there’s no hard feelings, and I like you as a member of this place. Of course there’s no pressure to accept it at all :)
Zoe, you may not be able to see it from my writing style, but believe me, your struggles and insecurities are mine too. I am very upset that my thoughtless attempt at pointless humour resulted in you feeling bad or unsure of yourself, or of me. My internal calculation on the matter was thus "yes, it is ok to send this because I had specifically and repeatedly reassured Zoe in the other thread that she did not have to worry about her feeling and because I specifically and repeatedly reassured Zoe that she expressed herself very well in that regard."
Now I do appreciate that we could start going around in mad circles here......I can readily appreciate that me repeatedly stating "specifically and repeatedly" above could be interpreted as some kind of passive-aggressive "oh, so you are saying that I'm too sensitive here" Zoe, that is not the case.
Your struggles and insecurities are shared with me. Peas in a pod Zoe. With love and respect to you.
Ok, sorry for thinking that. I did think it odd because I’ve only really seen you being supportive. But then I kept thinking it’s too bigger coincidence and maybe I’m being too trusting. But it’s obviously me being stupid so sorry :)
