When did you feel sad at SW , emotionally?

I really like SW in general. When did it bring you up? It has many times for me. With care and positive, interesting views and tips. 🌺

But tonight, I feel down. I post a more serious topic and get barely any replies. Thats when i feel sad here most. When a topic thats not about sex or funny or a shit post, gets barely any feedback. 😔

@Coralmist It was eye opening. Even bad experiences are good in a way.

i was really sad here 3 years ago to the day tomorrow, when my dad died. i logged out after messaging a friend, came back three days later and posted a song that reminded me of my dad and a general question about crying. the song got little attention, but people talking about how they feel after having a good cry got a fair amount of comments. i didn't talk about my dad or the fact that i was profoundly sad at the time. still, it helped me feel better to know how other people deal with feeling down and crying it out.

It is frustrating when you put your heart and soul into a post and nobody replies to it. Tbh it is soul destroying and it happens to me regularly.

I find not getting any messages from anyone upsetting too. I seem to contact people but rarely does anyone contact me. It's like I'm invisible or not interesting enough to have anyone care.

At that point I don't just feel sad but very lonely too. I don't have real world friends because I'm too introverted. So here is all I've got and it's awful when you realise there's not really anybody here either.

@Coralmist you're welcome and anytime.

@VirginMatchmaker Truth and it's worse when people say suck it up don't be so sensitive.
VirginMatchmaker · 46-50, M
@kodiac absolutely. Yeah we do all cry too much in today's world. But there's sometimes when it's appropriate and people just need some support.
When a friend passed away and when friends leave both the ones who disappear forever and the ones who still are in touch outside SW. This place sucks without them it becomes sucky worlds. That's mainly it.
Whenever I've felt heavy emotions, I rarely ever share them on here. Except in some occasions and there's several reasons for that.
1) a lot of men take advantage of vulnerability (or at least try to) and I find it more annoying than helpful

2) I don't always need judgment from people I don't even know but can appreciate insight when I do decide to share something.

3) I mostly use SW for shits and gigs which can be just as helpful as reflecting on your thoughts

I know the feeling.

I also observe this: I will post something on here, and get no replies. So in my next post, I will joke about getting no replies to my prior post. The second post gets replies! And sometimes even the first one, too.

I do not recall if I replied to your prior post. I usually look at everything in my feed.

Sometimes I am too tired or not in the mood for serious things. I just want to be light and silly. So I do not always respond to such posts when I see them.

Sorry you feel down. 🤗

@JoyfulSilence i've noticed that happening to several people too, i am starting to think the algorithm in place here at SW may need some tuning.
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
@SW-User In my case, I usually just set my feed to people I follow, in chronological order, more or less.

In a lot of cases, people still view the post. And sometimes there is not enough text to force people to click on it to see it all. So they can read the text in the thread without clicking and registering a view.

One trick to force a view is to add an image or put some of the post in quotes (people must open the post to see inside the quote box).

Some people have no scruples, and just add a nudity tag even when there is none, LOL!

I rarely feel sad because of this place. It's always my offline life that causes me to feel so, at times. SW is such a good distraction actually.

I felt very down when I learned that some SW friends had passed away.
SW-User
it's not a surprise to me when i dont get much feedback ..
i just take it as people are busy and/or just have too much on their minds to want to deal with anything serious ...

I understand how it can effect some people though. Just saying it doesnt phase me one bit ..

I would say you have to realize - not all people are looking at the feed at all times here at SW. Many are immersed in their own posts - or even private chats - to notice every post in the feed. Don’t let it get you down 😘
Yeah I have been feeling down for a couple of weeks actually. If anything SW helps a little. But there are so few people here that it isnt really helping that much.

A few years ago. I honestly didn’t realize how shitty people could actually be but it also taught me to be detached which was good.
I’m no longer at that point where I log onto SW and other people’s happiness remind me of my own lack of it

When anyone on my friends list dies or goes away and then I hear they’ve died.

Probably in my last post which I had to partially ignore the comments of because most people are ignorant and actually proud of it and I really can't stand that dumbass shit 🙄
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Redstar Wow, Im sorry Red, what was the posts topic?

@Coralmist The truckers fighting for freedom.
I think I did a good job of replying to most things but sometimes I just have to stop or hold back for my own good. Even though I guess that kinda goes against the entire point of the post in the first place but if people wont listen, then there's no point and they are as free to express their opinions as I am.
The other day when certain members were denying that what Will Smith did was assault.

It brought up all kinds of trauma for me.

When I'm saddest, my friends rise up and support me in DM and send me stickers and stuff.

I never post when I feel really down.
Angry sure . But down no.

I am sorry that happens. I think people come here to participate in light topics so they scroll by the serious ones.
