I thought I had some friends on here and could ask for advice but lately, I notice that either people don't respond or and the ones that do usually don't "get" what I'm even seeking advice for.
I put a lot of thought into my posts and they are real life things that have come up. I come to the board for help and most of the time I get more attitude than I do help.
Is it really that hard to be nice and offer advice or ask questions before coming up with an answer that isn't relevant?!
What I try to do is post a few starters when it is dull- try to get the conversations rolling a bit. This is my outlet and I check it off and on all day, mostly at nap time. I forget about the chat room. I like the forum because I can stop and think, maybe stop and come back if I need to and think out my answers before responding (at least I try) Maybe someone could put up the hot topics of the day that are conversation in the chat room if you think that is taking away from the forum. I know everyone can't find time to spend in the chat room but see that some people are missing the interactions. Just a thought-
I respond to what interest me or what I feel I can be a help to someone else- I don't purposely single someone out. Sorry you have felt this way. My advice is not to take it personally and try starting up some new post. Another thing is if someone already wrote what I would have, I often don't bother to put it out there again. I figured it has been said. I might chime in that I agree with so and so.
Happy Tuesday everyone-
