It does seem like a lot of unnecessary fuss and work.
As for WP - someone apparently wanted me banned recently for having an opinion I thought was helpful. Yikes.

I am also unpopular on Wrong Planet. For the last few months, I was writing to another member on here about our lives, and also things we like & do not like, but I think she has abandoned me because I wrote back to her ten days ago, and I have not heard back from her. I really liked writing to her.

Hello, I seem to be unpopular on WP as well. I wouldn't mind too much - I'm plenty used to being ignored - except that I keep trying to ask for help with my depression and self-harm in The Haven, and I've had to flat-out say something about how I could really use some help multiple times to get any replies, which only makes me feel worse. I probably seem to complain a lot, but that's because this is really the only place I can, and I know I also tend to perseverate on things. It feels like only maybe two people care at all that I'm really struggling.
As for in person, I have what I call social invisibility. That is, it seems people see me (enough not to run into me or anything, at least), but they don't mentally acknowledge my presence. If I'm lucky, I may get a passing greeting, but that's it - immediately afterward, it's as if I don't exist. If I try to join a conversation, often people will just wait until I'm done and then go back to talking as if I hadn't said anything (if I'm lucky - most of the rest of the time, they talk over me before I'm even finished, and my voice isn't loud enough to be heard over them). People will even have very personal, private conversations with their very close friends when I'm right next to them, as if they forget that I'm there (many people in high school and college were lucky that I'd never even consider gossiping, even if I had anyone to tell things to - which I didn't).

300series, I particularly enjoy your posts in the "post a random fact about yourself" thread. It seems like we have a fair bit of little random things, at least, in common.

Hi dragonsanddemons:
I also enjoy your posts in the Post a random fact about yourself thread. We definitely have some random things in common. I am sorry that you are struggling so much. I am also struggling too, and I am also used to being ignored. I also struggle with major depression too, and also perseverate on things. You can always contact me for anything. I am here for you. I will also visit The Haven more often & look for your posts.

Thank you very much. I can be here for you as well. I'm not very good with comforting words, but I am good at giving hugs when need be, and am always willing to at least let you know that someone cares and wishes you well. My Internet connection can be unreliable sometimes, so if there's a delay in communication, that's probably why. I'm very loyal, I would never abandon anyone.

You are welcome. Thank you very much for being here for me as well. I will give you a hug too. I like to give people comforting words. I care about you too & want to wish you well. I am also very loyal. I would never abandon any one either. If you ever need anything, then just let me know. You can confide in me & tell me anything.
Big hugs.

Did I reply in Haven? I do try to reply to topics there if I possibly can and have anything I can contribute, unlike the other forums where I may or may not reply to things, just for that reason - though it's foreign a concept to me, I understand that it damages other people if no one replies or seems to ignore them, and it benefits those people to get some sort of reply or acknowledgement. The ethical response seems clear.
Your social invisibility seems awesome! I think I would appreciate that. I kind of tend to stick out - people meet me once, then remember me months later even when they deal with hundreds of people during that time. I seem to have my privacy constantly encroached on, because everyone has this consuming desire to know what I'm doing and butt into my business. Being a bit more invisible would be welcome, so maybe I'd be left alone.

You replied to my self-harm thread, yes. It's very helpful for me to at least know that people care even if they don't have any advice to give or anything.
In junior high and high school, I really struggled with feeling lonely and left out because of my social invisibility, but now I'm mostly okay with it, and probably a lot happier this way since I'm no longer used to interacting in person with anyone outside immediate family. Sometimes, though, it still hurts a bit when people don't even acknowledge my existence. But on the other hand, I'm easily overwhelmed by too much social interaction and don't really like people prying into my life. I guess somewhere in between might be best, at least for me.
