Does anyone else feel like their communication is horrible here?

I feel I make more enemies then friends and its depressing, problem is isolation is depressing and socializing in real life is flat out dangerous. I don't know what to do socially, I just wish I could have a laboratory far away from everything with a to do list that will last a life time.

Free time, socializing and talking all elude me, I am such a failure :cry: :oops:

Yeah, sometimes. I often misread posted messages because I rush through them. I end up having to edit my replies because they are a little or a lot irrelevant to the messages.

I think you're okay.

You just sort of present a cynical, rough view of the world which some people don't really delight in.

Sometimes, you ramble a little...but you're okay.

I don't feel that way at all. Ive had lots of great conversations and met some nice people. I try to avoid drama and toxic people though.

When I'm really desperate for help I can't communicate it.
Like yesterday.
Some people can articulate their suffering so well and they receive lots of support.
I use cryptic clues.
And I can't work out why I'm mostly ignored at these times :roll:

I know your life sucks Raleigh, you have communicated that well, there is just not much I can do to help. You have a bad set of circumstances that dare I say are worse then my own. 90% of my day consist of finding reasons to not end it so you are doing much better then I would. So even if you think your a jellyfish and that your not brave, you are a stronger and braver jellyfish then you think you are.

People have survived worse, you will be okay, just stay strong.

You mean the time I explained the technical details of how batteries work in a thread that asked a simple question?

I can see that a little...

I think I poorly communicate here sometimes. I am prone to verbally vomiting and I know I am more than a little crazy and so is my life. I think I use a lot of words to say absofrickinlutely nothing. I also lack the ability to always know what will or will not piss people off. I think I rarely make sense as well and that is also counterproductive. I rarely know how to properly say what I am thinking. Those kinds of things do not mesh well with positive and productive interactions with others. Mostly though, think I have almost no idea how to relate to most people and likewise they often have no idea how to relate to me.

It's not always like that for me. Maybe it's 50% okay and 50% me horribly communicating. I dunno. I likely just have good and bad days and it can show, methinks.

For what it's worth, OP, you never did anything to bother me.

Yes I feel this way all the time about myself, not just for here but everywhere. I can't even have a conversation with someone without them thinking I am arguing with them. I can't even talk about my personal experience or things I have learned or read without anyone being insulted. I can't ask any questions without anyone being insulted. I always tell myself people will be offended no matter what so don't worry about it. If you are here to make friends, you will be very disappointed. Just be here to contribute and share your stories and advice with others and your personal experience and your opinion. Just as long as you are not breaking any rules here and not getting any messages from any mods from here, you're fine.

Also to avoid any misunderstandings, when you get upset or offended with a post here you could tell the person in it they didn't do anything wrong and this is just you and something they wrote that reflected you so you could see yourself in what they wrote in general so they don't think you have attacked them or misread their post and just make it clear you know they didn't say that in their post and you're not saying that is what they are doing.

If you'd like to swap life circumstances, that's ok with me.

Question: what makes you think I'm doing better than you?

I don't really want to answer that question because I don't want you to do something incredible stupid.

This sums it though,

An airplane ticket is not too much for me and I have a passport :mrgreen:

Mods leave me alone and I moderate myself more, if you guys see post that is less then good, they are normally deleted by me. Not the mods and they don't last long, mods have left me alone for the most part. I don't like them because I don't like authority but they seem fair. I am usually more afraid of them then not, I often feel they hate me but they have never said they do. There was one post that disappeared a loooooong time ago about piracy but I was in bad mood and didn't actually do what I said I was going to do in the post so I don't know how they view me truth be told. I am imagine its horrible though but to be fair they have never communicated one way or the other.

Sometimes I make post and feel like it would be better suited for 4chan but I never intentionally target another user. To me, censorship is stupid and I feel people should be mature enough to have... intense conversations without killing one another but that thought pattern doesn't fly here, I try and censor myself as much as possible. For example I made a post the other day in the adult section that was meant fairly harmlessly but realized a few minutes latter it was kinda... intense so I deleted it. Memes like the pedobear and Chris Hansen are fairly harmless to me but I forget that people don't have as thick skin as I do. I would laugh something like that off but I often forget where I am. I have thin skin I guess for feeling like a social failure but offensive stuff that exist for the sole purpose of being offensive, that doesn't really bother me.

How was that ramble kraftiekortie? :P

Your communication has been fine with me too, DCJ. I haven't read any offensive posts from you either. Anyhow, lots of people don't always understand each other all the time. That doesn't mean you're a bad communicator.
