Like @SW-User I rarely take the first step and send a message to someone I don't already know. Once in a while I will respond to a post privately because I have something to say that might not be suitable for the rest of the participants in the conversation but mostly I send messages in response to messages received.
Very often what comes to mind when I send a message is something like this:[i]why on earth did x send me a message that just said hi[/i]?
Several otherwise pleasant people here seem unable to get to grips with the idea that this is a very asynchronous communications medium, if we are to get very much said we must speak at the same time not wait for a reply that might arrive within seconds or take a week.
So if you do for whatever strange reason decide to send me a message, please say what is on your mind in addition to hi.
I have a push-me pull-you social pattern. And Covid-19 has interfered with my normal practices.
FB has become increasingly more bizarre and I think Zuckerman is losing his mind (and advertisers), and that he is restricting that program to the point it is becoming abusive to its' users.
I need to be in contact with other people but I often need to be alone as people are difficult for me, at best. I am dealing with a progressively more difficult life.
SW, like EP before it, gives me enough control to be satisfying.
I don’t message, but I reply to the messages of people I know. I like posting and helping in any way I can when someone asks for it. I like interacting with a few people I know over the posts. There are a lot of great individuals here.
@summersong yes true mostly every girl do the same. Well I dont mind to message for me important is to respect others. So I don't hesitate to initiate sometimes.
