What is SW to you?

Time waster?
Guilty pleasure?
Safety net?
Sounding board?
Communication medium?
Something else entirely?

Fun, eacape....my personal mental dump space, share some of what ive learned and learn more.
To objectively look at myself and hopefully improve .
Practice being outspoken ....but carefully, instead of unflitered.

Originally it was escape....then anger dumping and raging ....but it was a good place to release.
And although this place can be unhealthy and addictive....its been good to me.

Its helped me calm myself, smooth my jagged edges that life gave me.

But most of all - it gives me perspective.
....and i didn't expect that .

I get to see people. Their weirdness, their brokenss, their arrogance and snobbery, their ignorance and genius....and individuality and duality .
.... and blindspots.

Which is hopefully helping me see mine.
@LadyBronte omigoodness! Thank you for bc 🤗💋

Fishy · 36-40, F
@mindstruggle Hey! How did you get a pic of my room?
mindstruggle · 31-35, F
@Fishy
You're in another room man!
Casheyane · 31-35, F
A place to be real with and without a shield and just be without people's expectations and impressions of you.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Casheyane Agree. And to say things we can't in the real world.
A way to connect with people and keep my brain from growing mold.

Honestly I actually came here for some of the most sincere reasons possible. To reach out to make genuine friendships if possible and maybe even connection.

There are a few decent people here for sure don't get me wrong. But my purpose is changing as time goes by because I'm finding out that most people are here to kill time, f*** around, live out alter egos that they have no intention of ever carrying through with and real life. Add to their collection. Or just be on some other b******* entirely.

So now I just come here to express myself post updates and hang the f******out. If I am lucky enough to meet genuine people who want to connect with me by all means my door is always open. But as far as the people who only hang around cuz they have nothing else to do. Neither do I
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@KingofBones1 I get that.
JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M
Something to do while at a restaurant.

I always eat alone

It is also a platform to share my photos:

@Musicman

So sorry.
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
@JoyfulSilence I went to a little mom and pop pizza place for lunch today. It was actually pretty good. I ordered the meat lover's calzone and ice tea. It was only $12.

All of the above, in short Mindless entertainment.

I’m an extrovert by day and introvert by night. SW gives me a chance to keep my mind stimulated without being “on stage”.

In life you tend to choose the friends and work companions you hang out with. Their breadth might be more narrow. Here, you get a wide range of fun intelligent people that you wouldn’t normally have the opportunity meet. I like that the best. The more perspectives, the more you learn.

I’ve also got a few people that I like as friends. I come on to see what they’ve posted so that I can respond out of respect and/or caring.

There are some really great people here.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Adogslife Nice answer. ☺. Thank you.

Sometimes it's a void that I ramble into but it's also a void that answers back 🤔
very little. if I'm honest about it, I don't know why I bother with it anymore.
I don't 'invest' much here, but I feel like I get pretty much nothing out of it
@NerdyPotato somehow I thought you had many regular contacts on here. perceptions can be so wrong so often.
@stound I have some, but no deep ones. Mostly just banter on public threads.
@NerdyPotato it gets worse before it gets worse.
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
It allows me to post what my thoughts are plus check on posts which I can relate to plus interacting with people who take their time and energy to invest in me.


Thank you.


What about yourself?
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@scorpiolovedeep Habit. Outlet.
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
It’s my coffee shop
My local small, dusty dive bar
My therapist
My journal
Some days my sanity
The home of my tribe
3Dogmatic · 46-50, M
I’d call it a guilty pleasure. Certainly not a time waster due to the fact that time I enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.
Entertainment, and let the chips fall where they may. 🤷
OverTheHill · 56-60, M
A bit of all that. I fond what some people post to be interesting.
A place to inteact with people friendly chat etc.

Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
Yes
No
Definitely not
I'd like to say no ,but I suppose there are times that I would like to hear what I want to hear, usually I like a different point of view.
Sometimes
To give the illusion that I am important (joking)
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
@Justmeraeagain Lol. It can different things at different times.
All of the above 😅
Sapio · 51-55, M
Something to do while I'm on the laptop writing. Perfect way to take a break when the story is at a standstill.

At least a sounding board and a communication medium. It's nice to connect with so many from different places and mindsets
Secretsmile · 51-55, F
I have a few friends here and I have been on and off here for several years and when I am away I miss it.
