Dear Introverted and Shy People, do you think sticking to PMs and not participating in forums here is going to help you at all?

What did you do before they invented the internet?
ABCDEF7 · M Best Comment
Was living in isolation and was finding ways to interact with people. But I think everyone must try participating in forums, it has benefited me a lot

@ABCDEF7 It allows for different perspectives.
ABCDEF7 · M
@IamCuriousBabe thanks for BA. I think other people should also support them to initiate talks, for most of them, at a later stage they want to talk to people but they find difficulty in initiating talks.
ABCDEF7 · M
@IamCuriousBabe Yes, forums help us understand different perspectives

Shy people and introverts are not the same thing. Why do you care?
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@SW-User Sweet.I am going to miss you.
@IamCuriousBabe lol what are you talking about? I never said I’d block you
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@BettyBeez Meant for the newbie-averse friend. Wrong tap. Apologies.
How do i put this delicately? None of yall have the skillset to PM ANYBODY.

@DarlingSelah lol it's not like it's that hard.
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@DarlingSelah Harsh! But I totally feel you.

If you're in your late 40s surely you know what shy people did before the internet.

I’m shy and introverted and I don’t really do PMs. I post publicly all the time though.
SW-User
@SW-User I post more than PM for sure.
No, I’m not shy or introverted on the internet just in person. Lol, I actually prefer talking in the forums rather than in pms. If anything, there’s a lot more pressure in pms to maintain conversation, and keep it entertaining.
SW-User
@Stark Exactly what you just said. People get it all messed up by thinking introverts are shy. I'm far from shy & I hate my inbox.
ExtremeNext · 31-35
I used to talk with my shadow 😳

Been there , mine just keeps running away🤷‍♂️ @ExtremeNext

Slipped notes under people's doors?
DDonde · 31-35, M
🙄 What makes you think they're sticking to PMs?
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@DDonde EP and SW have had so many members who have no posts, no connections but have been members a while.

And when they initiate questions they sometimes like to ask personal questions.

Happens to a lot of females here.
DDonde · 31-35, M
@IamCuriousBabe Sure. But they're not "introverted and shy" people.
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@DDonde I wouldn't be jumping to the word "creepy" though.
i dont do PMs.. im an introvert oO
@IamCuriousBabe the generic stuff to fill the silent moments.. eg: hows the kids?

me :you dont even know if i have kids, why ask these Questions :)
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The generic stuff for pervs (or the sexually curious): what is your fantasy?
@IamCuriousBabe winning lotto. im boring 😇
HannahSky · F
Aren't you a dear.
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@HannahSky Aren't we all?
HannahSky · F
@IamCuriousBabe some really are
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@HannahSky They do pique the interest.
Who said I'm looking for help?
SubstantialKick · 31-35, M
I rarely get private messages, so I am always hanging out in the main forum when I am logged on to SW. I didn't get into social media until I got a Facebook in 2007.
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@SubstantialKick 2009 for me. Even then, I tend to shy away from that myself sometimes.
SW-User
I think there’s a delicate balance the same as with online and real life 😊
Before the internet I spent a lot more time outside ,socializing 🥃
Tminus6453 · M
I think the PM people think they can get to the sex talk quicker in PM's😣
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@Tminus6453 Poor choice of site/platform.
SW-User
I'm an introvert but I post here all the time. It's a matter of preference
I rarely talk in pm’s...I’m a shy person who participates on the forums
SW-User
Not sure why it be easier in PM?
SW-User
I had a life 😉
GeorgeTBH · 31-35, M
I'm shy and pm a few people but I get ignored all the time on the public forums so it's easier to stick to pm with just a select few people
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@GeorgeTBH Your posts were ignored? I doubt.
Holdontothefire · 26-30, M
I never did anything without the internet. It's crippling 😬👍️
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@Holdontothefire You must have been but a particle in the cosmos then. :)
Holdontothefire · 26-30, M
@IamCuriousBabe aren't we all? 🙃
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@Holdontothefire At least I was already a sentient being when they came up with the idea of the internet.
DiegoWolfe · 36-40
I like pms because they're private and personal, but I am an extrovert and love the forums too
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@DiegoWolfe I am both an extrovert and introvert. I just prefer to interact publicly as far as SW is concerned.
maybe.
and read books.
I’m an introvert who only pms friends. Before the internet I actually spoke with people face to face. 🙂
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@bijouxbroussard It's hard to maintain real-life friendships, harder still in the virtual world.
Chickie · F
I don't participate in forums here as much because so many people here are overzealous "troll" hunters and mean sprited as hell to get me banned off SW. I just keep to myself now unless there's a post that catches my interest which is rare.
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@Chickie "spirited as hell" --- I know what you mean. Can't help wanting to get a BP check afterwards.
