The minute you show interest, the mind games begin. I don't need head games.

@RogueLodyte been there multiple times before know exactly what you mean.

Casheyane · 31-35, F
You know, I kinda relate. Sometimes I feel some people are decent and it might be worth it to see where it goes. I mean, I give it a go. But sometimes, sometimes, I just miss the old friends I had who already knows me.

But as far as this site is concerned, you can bet there still are some decent folks.

I hope you find them, or they find you. :)

@Casheyane I'm trying, but I'm really beginning to wonder why.
Casheyane · 31-35, F
@Carebear412 Hope does that. It tells you try one more time even when you're hurting and about ready to give up.

I refrain from forming new relationships these days. It's simply much too difficult and painful to be blindsided anymore. The things I once yearned for and held dear, mean very little to me now.
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@LadyBronte unfortunately I understand how you feel all too well. Sorry you do I mean I wish the world were easier to get to know each other, but people are just hateful or cruel often enough that you just don't see a point anymore.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Carebear412 Exactly.
Maybe not here. Irl definitely. Time and distance makes it quite difficult to make that genuine connection online, unfortunately.
There are exceptions though.
So I’ve heard.
@Carebear412 If it works for you then embrace it. I just find people online tend to be more fair weather, short term, move on to the next shiny thing.
But as I said before, there are exceptions
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@Ghostinthemachine I mean yes, people online do tend to take it less seriously, but over the years I have met people that have been friends, s.o. and it's possible when both people give it a chance.
@Carebear412 Just like irl, both people have to want the same thing
I think if you look at the popular things on sw - the stuff that gets lots of replies, interaction, et al, I think you'd find a tendency for it tend towards light, shallow, bordering on meaningless things. putting lots of effort into here with the awful feed settings, the general malaise of the user population, and the 'reward' system that's developed to encourage light, shallow, meaningless interactions and I think you can't help but be disappointed with results.

@dirge I'm not only referring to here, but I get it.
LavidaRaq · F
It’s worth it. You never know when you’ll actually have that connection. It’s rare but so wonderful when you find it. Hugs
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@LavidaRaq I just wish connecting with people wasn't more difficult than surgery I mean surgery happens probably every day yet connections true connections are so rare.
LavidaRaq · F
@Carebear412 yes, so rare. But when you actually make one so worth the wait.

Most of my friends are prayer partners, but all people are worth it to me.
NickyLee · 41-45
If I knew id be able to get on here to talk more regularly, Id certainly talk with you. I just never know when i can make it on here
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@NickyLee well thank you and best of luck 👍
With age, I don't even feel like getting to know a new person. It's so much work
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@Reflection2 i understand this so well unfortunately. It takes so much energy to put effort into knowing someone and letting them know you and then you have to do it again when that friend decides you don't fulfill their needs anymore.
Dadbod52 · 56-60, M
so worth it
Dadbod52 · 56-60, M
@Carebear412 ya lots of weirdos out there.
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@Dadbod52 weird isn't the problem it's the hateful and hurtful ones that are. The ones that want to take everyone down with them instead of being miserable on their own like most miserable people do.
Dadbod52 · 56-60, M
@Carebear412 oh yes avoid if all possible
Do you mean online?
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@SomeMichGuy online , in person whatever.
Lilnonames · F
Big hugs🤗
Carebear412 · 41-45, F
@Lilnonames thank you
pdockal · 56-60, M
