Going away from WP for a while

Post Reply New Topic

I'm on here every single day, just to input comments on random posts, but there isn't an awful lot of things in my life that can be solved by others over the internet, as much as I like to seek answers for things. Most of the extreme social difficulties in my life cannot be solved on here.

It will take many years of experience in the outside world to learn these things. I mean, that's what people had to do in the old days. On a different note, there have recently been more and more threads by people seeking help, and the answers by others have turned into arguments and conflict, instead of giving kind and helpful suggestions, to people that are probably more depressed than anyone could know.

Some threads are, dare I say it, too NT for me. I can't relate to some of the things on here at all. I know everybody is different, but I feel I'm way different! Like breaking the barriers of autism and going into a completely new level of it. People on threads are casually flirting with eachother, strangers, revealling too much about themselves, talking about these constant social events in their lives that I could only dream of ever doing, giving very strong opinions on things, and sometimes just being completely mean.

You may think this sounds ridiculous, but this really is how it is on here, at least how I see it. I'm going to stay offline for while, so I can't see what is going on, and just stick with being on my own. Don't worry, I'm not angry with anybody, nothing has caused this in particular, I just need a break from visiting here.

Ta ta for now! :arrow:

I know what you mean. I notice some down right mean comments sometimes. I'm usually misunderstood for my directness, but some of the comments are intentionally stabbing. And it's not just one stab, it goes on and on.
So anyway, I'm saying I'm with you. After you take some time off, maybe you could come back periodically to chitchat. It's good to mix it up and get a little real life with a little internet life. I always like to check in and see what's going on in the world of wrongplanet. There are some pretty intriguing personalities here.
I hope to see you again soon.

See you later!

I am also in amazement at the level of ease some here flirt and banter. I can't do that on or offline. I also don't understand why people can't just exchange ideas and offer counterpoint ideas without the derisive comments. Anyway, take care Simonono.

I don't think I even noticed the flirting.

Me either. Maybe because I only post in this forum, none of the others. I can't do more than one forum at a time, for the most part.

I think I saw something once but it was very very very blatant.

I usually don't notice flirting, even when someone is flirting with me to my face. I need explicit declarations.

I am with you guys. The fact that there is a bunch of flirting and that people are seeing it is completely off my radar. LOL! Sometimes being oblivious is a good thing.

My interpretation of flirting includes playful banter, that's all I meant. I didn't mean I see people actually trying to get together here. Sorry for my imprecise use of words.

I don't think I noticed banter either.

*joins the oblivious crowd*

But hey, do what you have to do to make yourself happy. That's the most important thing, after all. Good luck. (-:

I guess it's mostly in the random section.

I agree that people can be mean here. I usually only post for an hour then leave because some posts just seem a bit too intense and may lead to flame wars. I'm also amazed at the attempts of sarcasm on the board. I can pick them out but shake my head at why people even bother when many people here struggle with it, which then provokes another flame war.
But it's a good forum to be used in moderation.

I've not noticed flirting or banter here.

OK call it "kidding around". I didn't mean to imply people were trying to get together. There's nothing wrong with it, I'm was just noticing the amount of social ease some people have online that I don't. Naturally, you're not going to notice it in the more serious threads like this one.

Hey bro... very good information here..i am so happy to read about this...thanx...
