Why are you posting in forums?

I just post...I don't worry bout it much...

I do find it difficult to keep up with everything... but I enjoy coming here and letting go.

Not really sure what it is exactly, but I find that I can just post whatever and it gives me some sort of a release of all the things I have inside...

But then I'm kinda messed up internally anyway...

I guess for me I can post and not feel so judged about the things I have to say, not that I don't realize that some will,but I don't worry about it so much.

Like when I don't correctly spell or write grammatically correct. I have decided that it is what it is and take me or leave me.

I have a hard time doing that in (my real world). I tend to think about everyone else feelings, not to say I don't think about peoples feelings on here.

It's just not as close to home...Oh Lord ...I need to shut up....
 
This is the only forum I belong to, though I belonged to several in the past. I will just speak for THIS forum. I like the social interaction. I like learning new things, or just chatting.
I have always tended to be a bit socially isolated and found these to be a good outlet for me. Though, of late, I have been getting out more and not being here as much. But it is a good outlet.
 
It is interesting, Jim, that your issues with learning to cook, matches well with me learning to deal with household things I often depended on Rick for. Car stuff, household maintanence and all that. But we are both getting there, aren't we??

Seeker, please don't put yourself down like that! I've always enjoyed your posts and pictures and never had a harsh thought about you. We all spell things wrong sometimes, no biggie, no grammar police here, too petty of a thing to even worry yourself about. Nice folks like you are one of the reasons I like posting here. šŸ§”
 
I like to post here to read about other members and the things they are doing, or places they have gone, see their photos. I always learn something and enjoy the personal and emotional interactions here too, I feel very close to some members, my eyes will tear up quickly if I hear sad news from any of you.

Just cool to talk to people in my age group about things we can all relate to and laugh at (or complain about). :p I can't think of a day where this community hasn't brought a smile to my face. Some days if I'm busy with other stuff, I'll just stop by and read without posting. ā˜®
 
Because I have friends here and internet virtual,
call them what you like, friends are as good or
even better that friends up the street where I
live. I like you all (so far) here and feel a bond
with you.

Also it gives me something to, I can further my
knowledge by finding things out by research and
Google know all things.

I watched my father die of boredom, he had bought
a typewriter and tried story writing, but got rejected.

Huh. I've never really given that a lot of thought.

I'm a social person. I like people. It doesn't make a lot of difference to me whether I know them virtually, or in real life, I just like to get to know people, and I've enjoyed getting to know all of you, and reading about your life, your ups and downs, opinions and ideas. Even though I don't always agree, I enjoy the exchange of opinions and ideas, the banter, the occasional respectful disagreements.

Too, there are a couple forums and private groups that are subject specific and I'm on those purely for support for being the loved one of an addict, post-divorce, post-abuse etc. I've made some lifelong friends there too...a couple of them I've been on for 15 years or more.

Plus we all know that I'm a motormouth, so this is just one more place I get to run my mouth as much as I want and I can't even see anyone rolling their eyes.....though with the new emoji, I'm guessing I'm gonna start having to deal with the "roll-the-eyes" one now! ;):ROFLMAO:

Incidentally, I've been posting on this forum for coming up to 6 years... in that time I've seen many come and many go.... some bad, some sad..... some really nice , some not so nice.. some interesting, some not so much.. ( me).:p. but throughout it all, I'm grateful for the opportunity from @Matrix and @SeaBreeze for providing this forum where I've made many friends, who have come to mean a lot like a virtual family!!
