Do People Have Emotions On WP?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes! A lot of these topics get me genuinely emotional, especially about people being dehumanized by their label and a fear for the future among many. I realize I'm in hot water.

I feel sad when I read about people's suffering. I feel hopeful if I think I could help someone or share an idea. I feel engaged in good conversations or when I learn new things by participating here. Not to mention all the laughter, or the times when I feel understood. All of this is why I spend a lot of time here.

That's the same with me.

well then, from one emotional to another, cheers!

you and i both.

i get frustrated when there is a topic that arises that i would like to chime in on, but see that many others already have. when i can't think of anything new to add to the conversation, that wouldn't come off as parroting or piggybacking on someone elses post. (anyone else??)

i make an attempt to be...early.

this goes double when i see someone grieving, suffering or needing help of any kind here who i empathize with.

i'm reluctant to start threads of any kind, and even more so about my own problems as, no matter how much an issue may bug me, i think people's time here could be better spent on others who need it more than i.

I generally dont feel any emotion when posting. But i feel like i have trouble knowing what emotions are, i can tell when im depressed or sad or angry. but nothing really more.......

^ yeah. sometimes i get feelings i can't describe with anything more than a GROANNN.

so, you gotta make words up.

Yes, but the intensity and direction are greatly influenced by whatever is going on in my life.

lately, the old swears just aren't up to the angst-ridden task of today, I gotta get some new swears.

I have had a few occasions where I have become very emotional because I could totally relate to what the person was talking about. A few months ago there was a thread where the individual was talking about his frustrations and suicide. I hit the "post reply" button but stared at the screen for nearly an hour. In the end, I couldn't find the words for the pep talk I had wanted to reply with... because I had felt the same way many times before and could totally understand the case that he was making and related to it in a very real way.

This happened to me the other day. I couldn't muster the words for a pep talk.

I sometimes feel emotions. I get a sense of intimacy and connection when talking to others here which can be nice. I get upset at how things are for many people currently as well.

I dont find any of the post on WP to be emotion provoking.

Its a large community, and interacting with WP is much like interacting with communities in your real life:school, work, real life aspie support groups, church, whatever. So of course you end up having emotions.

i feel like i can't muster up the words for pep talks, or any kinds of talks, as often as i'd like.

of course, most other people end up saying what i would have wanted to say eventually, and then there's nothing for me to add.

Pretty unemotional usually.

Also, hi. Haven't posted here in ages.
