So posts seeking help....a need to share an experience

Need of a kind word or support. What if out here in " the real world " we just held up a heart image when someone offered those words we sought? Because an actual reply back wasn't worth the time? 🤔 Here, I guess it teaches you who to no longer pester with your replied concern. 🤷‍♀️

Cant a heart or hug reaction sometimes equate to a nonverbal pat on the arm /back?
Punxi · 26-30, F
@Starcrossed Sure. Good point. Perhaps it is the consistency of said hug.....when a fellow respondent is offered an in depth welcome. I'm not jelly. Nor China...i dont break. I simply will trust the help sought by some to those they seek.

But when you reply to someone who sent you a heart and they don’t reply it’s like , why bother with the heart
Punxi · 26-30, F
@Krysclear Guess it's just an odd situation that cant be solved....but just accepted. 🤷‍♀️
Krysclear · 31-35, F
@Punxi unfortunately true
jeancolby · 31-35, F
I'm guilty of just sending a heart. I use it when I'm in agreement of the comment or post. I'll have to amend my ways.

Punxi I have noticed that all your posts are positive. How have you managed to avoid the mental poison that has affected the rest of us?

I had a REALLY bad dose of the poison last january but I shall not get into that in the open, out of respect for your thread.
Punxi · 26-30, F
@CestManan There is no poison here to me. Just different folks with a diversity of places they have been. Regardless. Human decency knows no boundaries if you so choose. I simply extend it....to everyone till they prove to me I'm waistin my time.

I hear ya - I've tried to relate and give my "experience" or support on a similar experience or event....

I got the big ole heart. It's like the quarter at the Salvation Army can. But honestly, it's fine - but I am less inclined to respond to their posts moving forward.
Punxi · 26-30, F
@Keeper I agree...and well illustrated'ly said.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@Keeper sometimes people get upset if they don't get the reaction or response they wanted but sometimes it's kind of hard to keep up, at least in my experience. Like sometimes I'll get on here and be bombarded with notices that people mentioned me in comments or whatever but then other times it's just crickets chirping.
Keeper · M
@CestManan I hear ya - that plays a part as well.
Speaking for myself, sometimes I don’t know what to say that could be helpful. I’ll post a hug or a heart when I may have no wisdom or advice to offer at that point; but I still care and have their back…if that makes sense. 🥺
Punxi · 26-30, F
@bijouxbroussard I makes perfect sense. This is not meant on in general terms. Ya gotta create a bill board here in traffic...just so a few passers will see.
Fluffybull · F
@bijouxbroussard Exactly!! 👏👏♥️
Punxi · 26-30, F
@Fluffybull To bad we couldn't talk...since youve blicked me for simply stating my own truth.
It's all good... I'm okay if they don't have anything useful for me - or the time to tell me "I'm sitting with you". It is what it is.
Punxi · 26-30, F
@HootyTheNightOwl Certainly is what it is. But we all paint the "is" of our choice. I'm. Just sayin there are some who no longer need worry I'll bother them and there " is"...any longer.
Not everyone must reply to everything. I barely get acknowledged on here and I'm ok with it.
Punxi · 26-30, F
@Justafantasy I get that...but have never liad claim that they did.
Joshua19842022 · 36-40, M
I try to comment as much as possible to just b friendly but yeah with something's its to know what to say
Dang that image is cold:(
Punxi · 26-30, F
@canusernamebemyusername Not intended to be. Here one must speak to be heard. For sooner oe later its intended address will be delivered.
@Punxi Oh I didn't mean anything bad by it. It just I get what you were saying. It does seem indifferent. Like those facebook likes for charities that used to be common. Charities need money not likes! :(
Whyme · 46-50, M
Not gettin the attention ya want ?
SolGryn · 31-35, M
You are very kind
JestAJester · 31-35, M
Id rather a physical hug or something. Emojis dont really mean much to me. I prefer literal acts of endearment

Sometimes all that is required is a hug
Punxi · 26-30, F
@SW-User I agree. Sometimes. This was just my vent...nothin more.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
Here you get what you give I find. I have posted about things and have always gotten really good advice and support and I am so thankful for it.

I do try to comment on those posts because sometimes you just need to know that someone cares.

Some people are just here for a laugh which is good too but it’s so helpful to have that support.
Punxi · 26-30, F
@iamonfire696 I love your posts...your willingness to just...be. I think I just look to deep into stuff sometimes. World, a simulated similar one or not....it revolves not around me. Seeing that . Had to speak it hear to realize that. 🤷‍♀️
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@Punxi I totally get that. I can be really sensitive at times but I have been trying to teach myself not to let negative online interactions affect me so much because it’s not doing me any good.

If they heart my post and show support that’s great too. You just don’t know what people are dealing with so they may not have more to give.
SW-User
It's not a support site, it's a fun site.. Every now and then people are supportive


Most just hug or heart posts as they don't know what to say... They feel awkward
Punxi · 26-30, F
@SW-User In no way meant disrespect to you, Arena. Your constant nature here is kindness and laughter. This was a billboard it all.
Punxi · 26-30, F
@CestManan No apologies needed lol. You're responsible for my smile many times over. More or less aimed at specific few. Whos time Im not worth. Nothing more.
Fluffybull · F
@SW-User Exactly.
This message was deleted by its author.
@Punxi I totally misconstrued your post. I was explaining how I reach out to anyone needing help. Although it's backfired, that I won't stop because of the success stories. However it's very discouraging to write a long and heartfelt message then have it go ignored. I thought you were speaking from my perspective and deleted as soon as I realized. I didn't realize a friend replied to it and now it makes me look bad. My comment beneath hers was...

@MrsIndyJoei just deleted my comment because I realized she was the recipient of such terrible treatment. I thought she was voicing it differently. Epic fail.😑
Punxi · 26-30, F
@MoonlightLullaby Now I'm confused lol. Im no finger pointer. You cant here regardless. Post was intended for a select audience whom have read it Im certain. Closure. Spoken as I am fair. Yourself as well as [@MrsIndyJoei] remain in my heart. 🙂
