I just wanted to thank everyone for the posting and all, but I realize I don't belong in WP.

I'm too different even for the people here it seems. And I have done this whole not fitting in thing online before. I guess my interests are too different, and the only reason I even really should be here is because I have a relationship so as a male I guess I have some worth rn bc of that, but because of the issues I'm dealing with, that might not happen for long. And I left social media in general because I wanted to get away from thinking my entire self-worth and how people should treat me as a man is solely based on if I can get in a relationship or not, especially if loneliness starts creeping in as it kind of already is.

It probably hasn't helped that I just stumbled upon a thread where a user is shaming a guy for being lonely, and as someone who is having relationship issues right now, I really don't wanna be here if the girl I'm with decides to leave me. I get told I'm in the wrong for "personally attacking" someone when I was just answering a question, but a girl shaming a guy for being alone is perfectly okay. I cannot endorse this.

I also noticed I've killed a lot of threads here. Sorry for that.

And I know I'm pissing people off with yet another goodbye thread, but don't worry, this is my last post.

Sorry for being me.

Please don't leave. Of course you belong here. I think I know who you're talking about, but don't worry, it's me she hates.

You are just as good as the next member here. Feel free to PM me if you like.

Never apologize for “being you.”

I bet you haven't killed off as many threads as I have.

Take a break and see how you feel. It would be a shame if you left for good.

I've enjoyed your contributions. If you want to leave, leave, but we'd be happy for you to stay.

Saying that you don't belong is tantamount to saying that other members reject you.

Apologising for being you implies that other members have attacked your character.

Maybe it's more accurate to say that you're not enjoying the site.

Which thread?

The communication in your post is indirect and emotionally loaded. Sort that out and you might feel like sticking around a bit longer.

I suppose I know which thread you mean.
Just don't go there, it's unhealthy. The main issue of this thread is not a man being single - we have much more single men here, not receiving anything like that - but a lot of toxicity that have been spilled there by different persons. It's complicated. Just avoid going there unless you have really thick skin.

I haven't noticed any thread killed by you.
If you feel like taking a break, do it. In general, you do fit in here :) But it's more about your comfort.

sigh. u are okay. u got bitten by me and i regret it, u actually accidently got in a way of it. if u dont belong, then so dont i, because we are damaged about right same way. only that i have fixed SOME of that damage. and ya i feel like leaving a lot, but 2 sorts of people kinda outweight it. the people who outright support me, and people who genuinely need support (like u). togather 2 groups are kinda making me stay for now. even if i do feel like throwing another public meltdown. u and i had a misunderstanding and i had hoped it's resolved. do i need to say "please forgive me"? then please, forgive me. u are a good person, an interesting person. a person who needs help. and is too shy to take it, when offered. so that is what u gotta correct ^^

It's up to you whether or not you choose to leave, of course, but I don't see you as sticking out like a sore thumb here. I don't think anyone else would look at you and say "this guy doesn't fit in".

So if you decide to leave, I'd recommend only doing so on the basis that you don't find being here enjoyable, or of any sort of value to you.
