To SWEEPS who like to remain quiet

Who don't post often or at all ... perhaps some feel shy or vulnerable to post . I have felt too vulnerable sometimes to post certain stories or fears. And sometimes I feel like a small member here. I don't have some great relationship or love to post about, I don't have kids to post about or pets, or a job even.

I feel my life is so small in general, regardless of even how small at SW too. But anyone out there who might feel on the sidelines in life, and/or here at this online community, I feel you. We really are all much more similar than ever different. I hope we can all feel one day the quote that author Byron Katie said .
"When I look in the mirror , I see you". 🫂🌷💛

I do not have any of those things either.
If I am honest, I post a wide range of topics mainly to allow other members to relate their own experiences re my posts.
Being a social network site, I like to bring members together. Once I post, I do not have a lot of interaction with those who like or respond to my posts. Though I do always acknowledge their response with a like or other.
I will only write a response if I have something else to contribute to the responder.
I do take a modicum of satisfaction when members interact will each other because they were brought together via my original post.

I used to post more serious topics but that left me open to people that may take a comment or response out of context then feel a need to bring that into things totally unrelated.

@kodiac Just block the few people who won't take no for an answer. I've been posting here since 2019 and so far my block list has only 66 people on it. I could probably unblock most of them as i expect they have forgotten I exist.

I’ve had posts that I thought would do much better. It is disappointing. I wonder if there’s times that are better than others, where the posts are seen by more people. In any case, I’m okay if my posts bomb! I do appreciate any feedback I get but sometimes I don’t understand the feedback. I’m afraid to like those in case the person is being mean.

@4thdimensiondream I do believe some times are better. It's Def disappointing when no one replies. I often get no replies on singing posts, and it makes you think. You're not good. But I have to remember a lot of people are on here just looking for nudes or sex chat, or, might be on for only a few minutes at work etc.

Sometimes it feels pointless posting as I don’t always get reactions or comments.If I do get reactions they aren’t always helpful or nice
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@Some1somewhere I have had posts get zero comments as well. A few times I deleted it after that. But other times I said, I'm still leaving it up. And a couple times it got comments only the next day.

@Baybreeze I sometimes get comments on posts that are from months, occasionally years ago.
Strongtea · 22-25, M
This is such a beautiful post. I was so scared to write anything on here when I first joined (I left a few times as it was so nervewracking.)
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@Strongtea Thank you Strong. I'm glad you did post and stay after all !🌟

Everyone spending time here probably feels they haven't much worthwhile to say. However, I've found posting about a variety of things brings more satisfaction than sticking to one thing. Your list is much the same as mine, but sometimes the 'everyday' or a nostalgic memory sparks something in others (they do in me 🙂) and that's great fun. Don't feel inadequate, because you aren't. 😊

@FreddieUK Ty so much 🌺

This is a nice post. I don't post most of the things I type out because after writing it I always feel like, "who cares?" or "this is kinda embarrassing" & that's all just vulnerability or just feeling like our own thoughts or problems are insignificant.
I appreciate you
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@ChiefJustWalks I've also deleted posts wondering, is anyone going to like or care about this? Like, I'll think" others wouldn't post something as dumb as this." It really is our minds magnifying others views. 😕 Thank you Chief, I appreciate you as well 🌻

@ChiefJustWalks @Baybreeze One doesn't have to post in order to get reactions or comment. I use SW as a diary. The occasional reaction or comment gives me an incentive to keep writing the diary but they are not necessary for every post. I've tried many times over the decades to keep a diary but never succeeded until I started posting on SW.

Edit: forgot to say, your life isn't any smaller than anyone else's. Just because it isn't as full of incident as some ideal doesn't mean it isn't every bit as worthy and interesting.
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@ninalanyon I appreciate that 🪻

Sometimes my anxiety takes over so I'll just scroll but won't comment.
Positivity…I like it 🙂

Some people are watchers.
Some are doers.
You have all kinds of personalities on this site.
Narcissists, sociopaths, empaths, IEDs, npcs, etc. Being productive and proactive is important for me personally. So I'm a participant.
This a social online network. Being silent is not an option for me. Enjoy. ☺

I rather chat privately due to idiots who make rude comments
I just don't want to deal with the noise

Kids? Pets? Job? Nope.
