I think it's pathological. That's why a good number of my posts get zero to very few replies. Some know the right things to post,but I am clueless.

If it's any consolation, I seem to have a knack for killing threads. :(
And the videos I put on YouTube seem to only get watched by one or two people, and the pictures I draw and post on Facebook hardly get a glance. Of course, the really stupid and disgusting videos and Facebook posts get tons of views.

I often seem to kill threads.

I'm also a thread killer myself. I've killed most of the threads that I've posted in.

Sometimes you post some interesting things but then other times you post things about yourself having a low IQ. And I just think really Firemonkey? :roll:

Why do you keep doing this.

I guess I'm a little obsessed(Is that odd here?), probably because I am trying to find something to help explain me . I actually talk more of a spiky profile rather than being of a totally low IQ. Hence I often mention the disparity between my verbal and nonverbal/spatial abilities.

I guess this is yet another place I want to feel I belong and maybe I don't. Maybe I don't really belong anywhere.

This is why I stick to the random threads. I can say anything I darn well want.

I just wonder why if I am obsessed to a degree it should be a problem here. I would have thought obsessions are not unusual here.

Some of your posts are just not phrased right to even get responses.

For example you posted that thing about how you are "a little thick sometimes". Someone else might have said the same thing in an open ended way to invite response - maybe by making it into a question "do you do the same thick things?" "can you relate?". The way you stated it it was just a dead end statement.

I do try to phrase things in a way that seeks a response. I tend not to get much of a response anyway. I've seen plenty of people make what you call " dead end statements" and get more of a response.
It's coming to something when you have to phrase something in a supposedly technically perfect way to even expect much of a response.

I think I'm very much seen as an interloper.

I don't get it: what you are "interloping?"

It seems that for some people you have to put things perfectly, according to their tastes,before they'll deign to give you a response.

You got the wrong impression.

If you respond to other peoples' posts, you'll probably get more responses.

There is no "party" here.
