Do You Ever Feel Invisible? (page 3)

caliber

reasons for some threads being hits or not.. IMHO

1) controversy

2) time zone differences

3)yes a handfull of posters maybe 20 or so are more popular at any given time ( more friends, long time on board, controversial , funny )

4) human interest stories are big , tragic stories,

5) music posts where all can share

6)if there are one or two other huge topic's going .....yours may die

7) even silly posts work well on Friday's or weekend when people are more relaxed

8) breaking news about the WT.

9) anything to do with God or no god works

10) on going soap-operas, wanting to get the last word in with another poster.. self-vindication

just Ron

I felt like that at every meeting and every where I went be for I left the Jws. Now people at stores see me and acknowledge that I'm alive.

This thread has been wearing on mind..... i walk away from JW net and get involved in life and realize im thinking about it again....

I feel like I live on the other end of this sometimes. I WANT to be invisiable. sometimes it feels like the whole world wants a piece of me... family, work and even the borg. I work in a city and am always surounded by people, always interacting on some level... to escape to a desert island or a moutain top, to just be me and be alone....

but the reality is my "alone" fantasies always have one or two special people with me. maybe not "with" me everysecond, but near by. near enought that when the human need for validation kicks in, those special people are neaby and i can know I matter to them. somedays my dog is all i need... other days i really need a hug like you wouldnt believe.....

I guess thats why this haunts me. You have always been kind and great person to talk to. You have PM'd me when I was having tough days with the cult and always seem to be a sweet gal, one I would love to hang out with if you were stateside.

With all my heart BP i hope that you have special people in your life who validate you. I hope there is someone you can turn to tonight and get a hug and a laugh, someone who lets you know you are special and that their life is better for you in it.

From accross the pond BP, I would miss you if you were gone. If I can feel it from thousands of miles, I'm sure others do to. Please dear.... dont let it overwhelm you.

Caliber - I agree, threads are popular for a variety of reasons. Not that it really bothers me. I'm not here to be popular.

just Ron - the other day I ran into some JWs I've known since childhood. I received a more sincere smile from the checkout kid than these fake JWs could muster.

elderelite - Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. And it's been my pleasure getting to know you. I'm excitedly curious to see what your next chapter will bring. As usual, I'm alone tonight - it's part of being single. But I do have good friends that are only a phone call away and give me hugs and love - genuine love and hugs that only those who love with unconditional love can give.

((((((((((((BP)))))))))))) I'm trying to fade in a small town so I have the opposite problem. I feel eyes boring a hole in me. I can't go to a store and not run into a JW.I have to "fake it" and I hate it. I'm not free to be the real me. You are one of my favorite posters. Please know you are important to us here.

OK BP very glad to know I will sleep better tonight

Broken Promises, I always read everyone's posts on the threads I make. I can't always reply to everyone.

So many of the newer people I can't keep straight or remember. I do remember you.

These cuties think they are invisible.

Sometimes I kind of like being invisible, to be honest. I have to talk for hours at my job. Once I leave the floor, I don't want to chat with anyone, because I am exhausted. I can't hardly bear to talk on the phone with people either. And when I am feeling withdrawn or stressed, I'd like to just keep to myself.

This is another case of iffy invisibility:

Broken Promises

And I can't see those cuties, they must be hiding very well, lol
