I can see what you mean, I don't PM anyone, mostly as I am afraid to talk to people, I am never part of a cliquey, I am always on the outside looking in best I can do is just lean in for a bit.
From my point of view there does seem to be groups or cliques of people who regularly respond to each others posts - and then there are people like me who just seem to post random thoughts around the forum and don't receive any replies.
I admit I am starting to think to myself "does anyone here read my posts"? "Are they too boring to warrant a reply"? "What am I even doing here"?? Is that how you feel?

I wouldn't be too bothered. That was just one member venting and people who feel that way are in the minority.
I haven't noticed any cliques and I don't send or receive PMs at all.
You should stay because we need more Europeans here. I often get bored when all the Americans and Aussies go to sleep.
Thanks for saying that but I've had enough of that kind of s*"t in my life I don't need to see it here as well. I'm sure people come to WP for different reasons but I came here hoping to chat with a few people like me. Instead it has begun to feel a bit like my "real" life in here, I’m either ignored or I’m stumbling upon pathetic threads like I hate aspies!
I've been a member on quite a few other non aspie boards but I can never stay for very long, there are so many nasty opinionated people on them I soon get driven off. I am by no means a delicate flower who can't take any conflict (what aspie hasn't had to deal with a ton of that) but I get tired of being at war with nasty ignorant people is it an NT thing? They seem to love it - personally I can't stand it. Some people say they like a good argument or it starts to get boring! Well I find the constant endless arguing on forums to be VERY boring, it's just a total waste of time life and IMO.
There does seem to be a lots more great friendly people here than any of the other forums I’ve been on so I will try and stick around even if it’s just to keep the European quota up

And if anyone feels like a chat PM me I certainly didn’t come here to talk to myself!
