Do you feel you fit in WP???

Post Reply New Topic

I feel like I fit in here but not all the time, when I see people talking about their lives and problems here its similar to mine but in a different way, I don't even know how to explain it but when I see people's posts here talking about real life situations its different than mine because of their culture, background, ethnicity, etc, etc. although I do think about and see things the same way people here do and have common intrests and traits with them and enjoy WP
Do you feel you fit in WP??? And if you don't why??

Not really. I get kind of bored with it around here because I find that there's not that much to discuss, which is why I haven't been around here much recently.

I don't really have an answer because I don't have any sense of group to fit in with. I am NT and my only goal is self-improvement, through posting and learning. 'Not fitting in' usually implies a sense of discomfort as a result of feeling alien or being outcast, and I do not really possess those feelings.

If I had to choose, the most logical answer would be to say no, because this website's main audience are autistic individuals.

I feel okay in WP most of the time. Most people are decent, and want to better themselves in life. Sometimes, the "intellectual/logical" outweighs the "human," though when discussing things such as relations between the genders and political topics.

I don't feel that I particularly fit in anywhere. I do find, however, that WP is helpful to me in many ways especially in not feeling totally alone. You take the good with the bad.

I'm sure that after a few more posts I'll grow tired and disappear for another year....hence my low number of posts in 5 years.

Not really. Although I see many posts by other people about their problems that I can relate to, very few people seem to be able to relate to my posts. I've been wondering how other people get to respond to each other's posts repeatedly and build friendly relationships. I've been on WP for over two years and have a post count > 5000 but I'm still ignored most of the time. I guess my posts must be weird/boring/stupid or whatever for most people. People will naturally be drawn to interesting posts, not boring ones. Well, I'm still comfortable enough here.

Since I have never been that good at reading people - it is always hard for me to know if I fit in or if I am being annoying. But there are so many members here on Wrong Planet who describe experiences I can relate to very well. All my life I have had a number of oddities and idiosyncrasies that baffle others. It has been a valuable experience for me to find that there are so many people who share many of these same or similar oddities and idiosyncrasies.

Fit in? I don't get it. (No, really, I don't get it. I can't say yes or no, therefore, I'm not sure. Yet I'm certain it's not negative. At least I'm not being mobbed out by a mod or a group for nothing or being judged as harshly as real life (yet?) because of my point of views.) Also, I do, try my best not to be annoying or annoy someone...

But I like the POV posts around here because I can relate, and answers and questions... Mostly stuffs that I haven't thought of.

Lose more time here - Updates at least once a week.

Edna: do you feel like you could relate to at least some of the people on WP?

Do you feel like you have similar experiences--thus enabling you to "identify" with them?

Do you feel that the people on WP "listen" to you when you post?

Yes and no.

But IRL when I say I'm confused people may not believe me and sometimes make fun of me.

Here when I say I'm confused, at worst I might be ignored. But usually if I say I'm confused, someone believes me and explains.

That's worth a lot. To be believed that I'm real as I am.

Not at all.

Then again, I feel that I don't fit in anywhere.

Less than I expected.

Thanks everyone who replied what I meant is not exactly fitting in like when you would be with people, I meant I couldn't sympathize very much with people here

I also feel like I'm annoying or rude or stupid after posting something lol
