Did you learn to take things less serious here? 👀

Top | New | Old
This is a long amswer, please forgive me.

I went the opposite a bit. I didnt take this serious when I joined, people are brave behind a keyboard. And yeah, Ive been called names here which really doesnt bother me.

However what I did start taking a bit to seriously is when I wanted to correct an opinion on something- sadly politics (rookie mistake) and I found myself overloading the discussion.

Caught myself, and reset. Most of the time I just ignore the conversation all together. So yeah, Im getting back to not caring as much - mercifully.

I do like walking someone through an issue, or new part of their lives they never dared to go before. Especially if I have! I tend to look a bit down the road and that serves me well. I just (once again) have to stop from pushing too much and let them do the work, if any of that makes sense.
@Rilyn OMG yes!!!!!
Or go back in time and peroxide the gene pool. Either way, those are perfect.

@TallMtnMedic I had to fake it in a funeral last. So much nonsense and fake acting. Aka my "familiars" bleh.
@Rilyn Was it family?
You faked at a funeral?
So you're an actress now? Lol

Kind of.
I used to get way more involved here. I guess I thought I was being helpful, listening to peoples woes, befriending them. But.....i took on too much and got taken for a mug by a few, got bullied by a few who felt i was way to serious. I stuck up for others when they were being ridiculed.....only to become the target myself.
I haven't changed the person I am. My pals here will know I'm the same person I always was. Im serious when its appropriate and daft, dotty and a bit bonkers the rest of the time.
But....i don't open up and share thoughts and experiences as much as i did.
This place has changed so much over time, and the reasons i joined EP and came here after are no more.
So, i do use it in a much more light hearted way to how I used to.

I take most things less seriously than most

It's why I'm more of an upbeat type of fella
It's why I look healthy and that I'm in a good place emotionally
Rilyn · 31-35, F
@Ferric67 Yup. If its not doing you any good better to stay away. Unless other factors keep you away of course.
AndysAttic · 56-60, M
No, I am very serious about this site. It is a seat of learning after all.
Rilyn · 31-35, F
@AndysAttic Time for the dungeons and skunks then ....⛓🔱
SaorUladh · 26-30, M
@AndysAttic
Without the serious metaphysical discussion, this place would be nothing.

Rilyn · 31-35, F
@Sutten Good job! 👍
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I learned that the first day.
I took EP too seriously for too long.
Teslin · M
I've been here for fun since day 1.
I try to avoid most of the drama.
Rilyn · 31-35, F
@Teslin best way to go honestly.
Me, I just write and interact very few people.
Magenta · F
@Hinckley I really enjoy your writings.
@Magenta Thank you, I've enjoyed your posts since the EP days.
Magenta · F
@Hinckley And thank you. I did actually write something recently, but it takes so much effort than before, I have to dig deep.
PoeticPlay · 51-55, M
Nope.
I had that part down pat before I even knew that this place existed.

Magenta · F
Yes, some, but I also don't take everything as funny or with no meaning either, it's not my nature to turn everything into vapid entertainment or silly jokes either. 😴
Magenta · F
P.S. Many will say it's all for fun and they take nothing serious, yet look at all the arguing and complaints about others and crying about being blocked or insulted, etc., etc...
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Magenta Breath dear... ☕🌹🍫🍌💖
letshavefun · 51-55, M
Pretty much I do, it's easier not to be serious here most of the time
Rilyn · 31-35, F
@letshavefun My trust levels are non existent alright .....but im still sociable.
letshavefun · 51-55, M
@Rilyn That's understandable if you have been let down by some people, but it's good that you can still be sociable
Rilyn · 31-35, F
@letshavefun Yes of course...and share lame jokes and stuff. But im cautious.
Yes, that happened about a decade ago
being · 36-40, F
@AbsolutelyFabulous I aspire to get there too 💓
What else am I supposed to do
Pretzel · 61-69, M

Rilyn · 31-35, F

ShepherdBard · 31-35, M
I’m always no nonsense here
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@ShepherdBard Not this time. Needed the emphasis for you.
ShepherdBard · 31-35, M
@Degbeme I’m not sure what you are talking about. I have serious inquiries to address if you’ll excuse me.

Degbeme · 70-79, M
@GuiltyBiStander Learn me. Learn me gooder.
Kiesel · 56-60, M
For the most part
"Learn"? No. With the exception of one person, I never took any of this 'Psychologist's Utopia' seriously.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
