can't deal with this place, I feel worse then I did when I first come on, I don't want to be like this

going for a long walk

What happened?

I felt a bit like this when I first joined WP. It can be quite disheartening when you realise that you are as much an outsider here as you are in the real world. The reality is that people are the same wherever you go no matter what label you put on them. I learned to deal with this; I've dealt with it all my life.

Okay, bye!

(Seriously though, people post to be replied to. Next time give us advice on how to be less you-away-scarer-y)

The big difference here, though, at least in my own experience, is the fact there are many very genuine people here who do *not* make you feel worse for coming ... and in that, I find much comfort and confidence.

I know what this is about and I don't think he intended to mock your experience. I really don't. He teased you about a misspelling and didn't realize that you might take it another way. This just goes to show how deep the pain goes. He is not your enemy. We just sometimes flail at the humor. I've certainly pissed off people with my sense of humor when I really meant no harm.

I agree with you Leejosepho. I have belonged to other online forums, and I have never received the comfort as I have here. Now, I realize that not every thread/post is necessarily going to be supportive, but on the whole, the WrongPlanet has been a wonderful experience for me. But I took my vacation from it not too long ago for a month. But I came back because I really missed it and felt I needed it. And yes, most everyone here is very genuine and eager to try to help with support and thoughts.

I read it too. Don't let one dude's insensitive comment run you off. I'm sorry for what happened to you. I really am. I think he was just reacting to the "insensitive man" comment. You're among friends. I think it is the genuinely nice guys, who don't understand the pigs and their affect on women, who feel defensive. Don't worry.

Glider I know what you mean. I have never found any other online forum quite as fufilling. I mean sure the argueing was fun but it just wasn't the same. Now I'm here I can truly be myself. Friskey if you leave it's your loss and nobody elses, I apologise if I sound cold but what I'm trying to say is here people can truly be themselves. If you leave it's your choice but from the sounds of things it wouldn't be too much of a loss. Again apologies if I offend but some people don't me because I'm brutally honest and speak my mind

I hope it wasn't any of us boy-men who got you down!

I have just read the thread that Aimless is referring to and I think Friskeygirl deserves a lot more sympathy than "Too bad. Your loss. See you later."

It is generally regarded as poor form to pick up on errors in spelling/grammar on internet forums but, given the context of this particular faux-pas, it shows an incredible lack of sensitivity on Willard's part.

I apologise for my ignorance in this matter.

Ok I might have been insensitive. Send me the link and I'll judge for myself if she deserves more sympathy. If so I'll apologsie

If you're too lazy to click on her profile and look through her last few posts, your apology isn't worth all that much.

I didn't know you could do that, I've only been on a week. I took a look, no blogs and I got this message on the right side but same level on the y axis. Error: It's not possible to reach RSS file... If that's not how I find it could you tell me how so I can take a look?

Sorry, didn't realise you were a newbie:

Sorry, couldn't resist!
