When I joined, based on the other message groups I have been on, I put my expectations at only one friend. Since then I have not talked to anyone here except in a post or two, but nothing deeper. That is ok, for I still consider myself new.
WP is very different from the other places that I have been on the internet. I have not been openly attacked, criticized, mock, ganged up on, etc. here. I really like that, but I am still getting used to it. I am slowly opening up, but we shall see.
I think at this time I will mention why I have what I do in my attached signature. All my life I have had to hide who and what I am. No one has understood me. Ostracized, ignored, and openly hated, I promised myself once I realized what this place was to be honest in who I am. It is a welcomed feeling.
To those one or two people that may have an interest in getting to know me better, thats cool. Feel free to PM. A pleasant conversation is welcomed.
To the majority of you all that really don't have any opinion on me, I would like to know more about where you are from, foods you have cooked, music, wildlife, etc. I want to understand this world we live in more. What I have seen so far has been fairly negative.
To the one or two that do not like me. Good. You have your reasons and you are probably right. You leave me alone, and I will leave you alone. Fair is fair.
I found this really touching, and I'm surprised I didn't see any answers straight away. (I didn't look far enough ahead to know if anyone answered you) PM me, I particularly like how you want to learn good things about the world, I have a very similar view point - I always want to learn and experience all I can in this world we live in, as it is truly amazing and beautiful.
As a rule, I never ever ever make friends lists, because I'll always end up leaving someone out, and I hate to tally friends as all it really does is make people feel they have some sort of grade as to how much I like them. I have so many bad memories of always being either left of the list (95% of the time) or being right at the bottom, as a sort of side thought, by a person I had considered my best friend. I have someone (who was my best friend) who didn't even put me up on their top 30 facebook friends, which hurt me really badly and made me feel like I was worth very little.
I might consider posting up names, but I will only do so if I think through it very carefully and make sure I leave nobody out. I am 99% certain I won't post names.
