I'm not a good forum member

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else feel they don't "belong" on internet forums? Today I checked replies to a thread I started on this other forum, I felt like I was being bullied for complaining about certain subject matter too much. I got a habit of posting a thread and running off. I rarely do replies. I have no original, imaginative thought I can type into words. I am usually too lazy to upload an avatar or make a signature. I have less than 100 posts on any forum I've been somewhat active on. It's become routine of me, even, to check forum replies when I know nobody is going to respond. Also, like in this thread, I tend to get very long-winded with my rants.

Sorry if my writing online isn't very great. I just want to know how to be more active and socially appropriate when posting on forums online. I get so anxious that before I join a forum, I don't even bother reading rules or look for other similar forums. I can't even remember all the rules in posting things anyway.

Just write what you feel, and make sure it's somewhat related to the OP's thread.

Don't insult anyone, and don't curse too much, and you'll be okay.

If someone asks you about something you wrote, just answer clearly.

The last one, I'm afraid because I am too emotional or irrational when I post an argument about some topic. I have dysfunctional logic I think.

We're Aspies/autistics--and we understand it when people get irrational or whatever.

As long as you're not a total dick, you're okay.

I've never seen you be a total dick.

I feel that way too sometimes, in general. I think it might be the lack of proper social skills, but then again, i think many people seem to get angry whenever anyone presents ideas that don't match their own.
