I'm not sure I really fit in with all of you tbh 😔

I just feel like an outsider trying to fit in somewhere I really don't.

I was on EP from 2012 till the end. Then SW from day 1 til September 2017. I came back 3 months ago & idk.. I kinda feel like I shouldn't have.

A lot of you have built bonds here & even though I remember the majority of you, nobody remembers me & I missed so much of SW's existence in general that I just feel like the 'new kid at school'.

Some of you talk to me & I appreciate that but some of you blatantly ignore me & only talk to the people you know... Which is funny to me because I know you all too. Just none of you know me anymore 😕

Just wanna say thanks to everybody.
Every time I write a post, I don't expect much but a lot of you always react, interact, & I'm always surprised by how many people actually talk to me on my posts.

None of you here have directly made me feel out of place. Its mostly a personal feeling.. like noticing that a lot of you have been friends with each other for years while I missed out on most of that. So I'm sometimes the stranger in interactions.
It's nothing that truly bothers me, this is kinda just me speaking on those observations. So thanks again 🙏

Well screw anyone who ignores you and give yourself time to connect with more people.
MellyMel22 · F
@ChiefJustWalks There def are lots of weirdos here 🤣 Were all a bit weird though, everywhere you go 😆
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@ChiefJustWalks I usually do have walls up with new people but that’s usually because they are odd or not easy to understand or get to know. But with you I noticed you were open and honest right away. I think alot of people liked you from the start because of that plus you’re not a perv or a weirdo. You’re normal
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Jenny1234 I appreciate that a lot 🥺 I always try to be open because that's what I came here for. I come from a very rough background that a lot of people here might judge me for.. I guess part of the appeal for me here is being able to understand people & be understood.. even with as different as we all are.

@Nanori
So many of the original SW member are now gone or dormant. People come and go and they either leave an impression or they just fade to the background. New bonds are made everyday and there is no right or wrong way to experience SW. You’re a veteran considering your history with EP and I think you’re gonna be just fine blending in and making connections. People here aren’t as cliquey as you might think. So welcome back and enjoy the show🤣

@ChiefJustWalks 172 replies within less than 2 days ..
dude you rockin
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User I was actually surprised how many people came to say something 😮 I feel liked 🖤
@ChiefJustWalks That awkwardness you’re feeling is gonna disappear in no time😉
Also do you notice how many likes and comments you’ve gotten on this post within an hr ? 👀 wth are you talking about ? I literally thought it was like five comments until the scroll was endless and all your post seem to be like that. So stop lol
SW-User
@Stark This, I’m actually envious! 😂😂
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User I never thought about it before 🥺 I feel kinda liked
SW-User
You are liked but you’re doubting it. Dont take it personal. Many people don’t get along with me here and I used to get upset about it but not anymore. Remember we attract our own unique set of friends. @ChiefJustWalks
SW-User
Don’t take people ignoring you so personal, I’m sure people ignore me all the time 😁 I just don’t realize it because idc. Also everyone has had a time when they feel as if they don’t fit in. Mine was when I first got back here, but then I was like so what imma just be me if they like it that’s great and if they don’t who cares? I don’t even know these people irl 😂
But there are some really chill people on here, so just try and focus on the good and talk with them 😌
I always enjoy talking to you btw 😊
Even if I haven’t known you for that long
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User you have a good outlook 😌 that's refreshing. But I think you just got back here recently right? Because I think you came back not too long after I did.

There's definitely chill people here though. You're one of my favorites 😉
SW-User
@ChiefJustWalks Yeah I got back here early April 😁, not sure if you consider that recently or not 🤔

Definitely and right back at ya 😉😁
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User I got back here.. February 19th I believe 🤔 but yeah I consider mine recent so I'd definitely say you're recent too 😅
SW-User
I left and lost many of my old friends so this account doesn’t feel the same. All you can do is try to connect more and find new friends. People don’t stay around forever so we just have to make new connections. From what I see you are popular on here. You have gotten tons of likes on your post so that tells you a lot. Don’t be hard on yourself. You’re not the only one that feels that way about this place.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User very true. Nothing in life is permanent, not even ourselves. I try to live my life with that in mind the best I can.
But what's interesting is the more I think about it 🤔 basically, everything I've been apart of in life, I never felt fully part of. Some part of me has always felt like I don't belong. I guess that applies to so much without us realizing. Maybe that's why a lot of us are here to begin with
SW-User
I swear I feel the same way. I don’t even feel I belong to my own family , ethnicity , country or even religion. It’s sad but I know many people that feel the same way. If someone pays attention to me offline I feel awkward like I don’t even deserve to be recognized. @ChiefJustWalks
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User yeah exactly 🤷 the more I think about it, the more I think most of us in the world probably feel like that but we never admit it because that wouldn't be considered "fitting in". I get the awkward feeling often I've just gotten really good at acting like I don't 😂
I’m sorry you feel that way tbh I felt that way a bit too when I first came back after my long break. I had to make new connections and build new bond with a lot of the community, because so many of them were new or either didn’t remember me. This site is definitely a out of site out of mind kind of thing for most people sadly. And that’s okay, it doesn’t mean you’re not capable of building and making new connections. I’ve enjoyed you on the site so far. I think your input is always open minded and intellectual and not to mention you have a decent sense of humor too. I think you fit in well, but I do think it takes a bit of time for the community to open up simply because of how weird this site can be and a lot of distrust but it’s not impossible. I’ve also noticed there’s just not much activity on here in general. I literally feel like I have to post nonsense constantly to get any kind of interaction at times. Lol.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Stark exactly how I feel 🙏 I actually do have a lot of people so far who I connect with regularly here. But it still feels different having to remake friendships because you remember everyone but they don't remember you. & Thank you I appreciate you on here as well. I can literally give you the same compliment 😂 you seem insightful but still funny.

& Saaame lol sometimes I post literally just to have something to do when I'm bored 😂
SW-User
Dude. My name's Creepzilla. Ain't nobody bonding with that 🤣🤣
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User I actually remember a post you made back in the beginning of SW where you talked about your name & you asked if maybe that's why people were a little stand offish towards you. They see "creep" in the name & automatically assume you might be a perv. The comments were full of people reassuring you what a nice & harmless perv you were 😂
*shrugs* tis the internet. Pretty much all my friends from way back in the day are gone. I still post random crap every now and then because I've got nothing to lose. I've learned not to take this place too seriously.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Nadie we've definitely lost most of the good people I remember from before. Like WTF happened to Flennflys? I just thought about her the other day & she was one of the cool ones back then
@ChiefJustWalks I think I've seen her around still.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Nadie well that would be cool if I spot her again 😌
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
I'm sorry you feel that way. It gets like that sometimes when you leave and come back and only a handful maybe remember you are even around. You're a pretty alright dude, just remember a lot of us feel like misfits but we really do recognize and remember each other a who lot more than we realize.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Starcrossed I remember you too tbh. But I'm sure part of why nobody remembers me is because my name was ChefNumeruno back then. I've only told 2 people what my old name was & one of them is rarely on anymore. The other remembered me but she left already. That was Zen
NotJamieM · 46-50, M
I think you might have left SW at about the same time I got here, so I suspect we missed each other back then But I can say that I've enjoyed those interactions we have had since your return. And in addition to that, there are other posts and comments of your that I've enjoyed reading your thoughts, but just didn't jump in. I totally get how you feel, and I feel the same sometimes. That's mostly why I don't post much on my own these days, but rather respond to otbers'piats that catch my interest somehow.
NotJamieM · 46-50, M
@ChiefJustWalks I think those type of posts are great to read. And a thousand times better than all the arguments about the "usual things", lol. What comes through is how much you appreciate things. I know so many people who have been given so much, and have no appreciation for it.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@NotJamieM I've noticed when people are given so much, they don't appreciate it because they've never had to live without it. I lived my life without most things & I lost everything over & over throughout. At one of my lowest points I was homeless, living in an abandoned building, selling drugs, & that was around the time SW first opened. I was 19. I used to post stories about my life & some people would support me, some people judged me because I fought a lot back then, did drugs, & I wrote about it.

I've just always enjoyed writing & I feel like I have something different to offer here than most other people. I'm a documented gang member where I'm from but I love to learn, write, & teach. I'm not a role model by any means by I have a lot to say
NotJamieM · 46-50, M
@ChiefJustWalks you're a good writer and you have a good, and needed,, message. Keep at it!
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I think many of us, including me, feel the same way. I don’t fit in here really but I’m ok with it. I think that it’s best not to have any expectations here. Just take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the laughs
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Jenny1234 maybe nobody really fits in here & that's why we're all here 🤷
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@ChiefJustWalks I think you’re right!
JerseyGal · 51-55, F
Hi there 👋🏻
I don't believe that I knew/know you or if I did, I don't recall.
I feel the same way now and then. I mean, yes, I've made some amazing connections here, and consider several friends. But, then I'll see many users post and all the back/forth interaction on the posts and feel so out of place. I want to comment too, but some of my comments are ignored, while others will be hearted, hugged and replied to, so then I figure... Why bother!? 🤷‍♀️
Anyways, I'm late in saying welcome to SW, but going to say it anyway. Welcome!
JerseyGal · 51-55, F
@ChiefJustWalks
Back when I was on EP, then for many years here, my name was HeartWings, then I finally changed it.
Same here. Never have really had any problems with anyone here or on EP...it's just me, I guess and the feeling I get.

You're very welcome! 🤗
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@JerseyGal I'm not sure if I remember that name tbh but I like your new name slightly better 😌 but hey you can consider me a friend if you wish 🙏 my arms are always open too 🤗
JerseyGal · 51-55, F
@ChiefJustWalks
Why thank you! I like this one better also. Love the meaning behind willow trees. 😌
I appreciate that, and likewise. You can consider me a friend also if you wish. 🤗
SW-User
That’s why I’m not here so very often, and so I take my drunk cries elsewhere. I try to just get on here to make people laugh and share some insight. You don’t want to get too attached here, you’ll just end up hurting your own feelings
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User I was a Facebook person before I got back here but on fb all I do I share memes. What draws me here is being free to talk about things & giving actual opinions people can relate with. I don't do that anywhere else
Chief, I only talk with (DM) a few persons with any regularity.

But I have interacted with many in postings/replies, incl. you.

I hope I haven't added to your feeling, but please realize that the massive nonsense of screwing with the user feed has made posts & activity which used to be visible...NOT visible. The feed algorithms are an ongoing disaster. You came back during this time. That sucks, because you haven't gotten a fair shake; otherwise, you would--I think--have had a better time here.

I don't feel animosity towards you, and have interacted & joked with you; I hope these were positive.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SomeMichGuy I always see you in my notifications & I appreciate your presence 🙏 just by liking peoples comments all the time I'm sure you offer a lot of support because that's what I feel from you. You're a solid dude though. Thanks

The feed is so damn annoying though 🙄
@ChiefJustWalks Well, I'm glad I have not made your sense of not belonging worse.

I'm here a bit, so don't be a stranger! 😊
Lilymoon · F
People come and go here frequently I find. They talk to you and then move on.
It's the nature of the beast. 😁
I don't know you that well but you seem pretty cool if that means anything. 😊
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Lilymoon Very true 🤙 & I feel the same towards you 😌 you seem great & I'm sure we'll have time to interact more at random
Lilymoon · F
@ChiefJustWalks Defo! 👌
Montanaman · M
Dude, I'm up for a chat anytime, and i like and comment on your posts.
You got a friend 👍☺️🤗😎
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Montanaman I do see you around quite often 🤙 thanks man I appreciate that. & Back at ya
sarabi · F
Not fitting in here is a success bro
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@sarabi yes I can finally say I'm successful 🙌😂
SW-User
you never told me, what were your previous usernames ..

oh btw, i've talked to you plenty on here, but from now on, you're ignored .. coz i can 😌
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User will do 😌 just have the movie ready & my beer open by the time I get finished
SW-User
@ChiefJustWalks would u like a blow with that too? 👽
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User *gasp* 😮 but cocaine is illegal
InHeaven · F
Nah, no bonds. A lot of haters
Nanoose · 61-69, M
Well maybe we would bond better if you knew that I also have a First Nations name. It is Stupid Man That Runs With Scissors In His Hands. Cheers!
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Nanoose what is a First Nations name? But good name nonetheless 😂 I'm certain you set great examples for the youth 🙏
Nanoose · 61-69, M
@ChiefJustWalks A First Nations name is a political correct way of saying a Indian name. I do set a good example for youth because I don't let them see my scissors joke - sometimes when I am partying I will run around with scissors in my hand and say - see mother was wrong its not dangerous to run with scissors. Cheers!
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Nanoose lmao well nice term! It always bugs me when people call natives "indians" because that's not accurate at all.. but I'm part native so that's why I feel that way 😂 but lmao
Foxes · F
I know exactly what you mean, but I personally prefer to be an outsider. Don't give up too soon, you'll connect with people soon enough.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Foxes the few people I do connect with are great people at least 👌 but you're right, being an outside is probably best anyway lol
Foxes · F
@ChiefJustWalks Who wants to be part of the drama anyway? 😆
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Foxes 😂
I've always been the dude who sits & watches the drama like 👀🍿

Even in public I will literally stop what I'm doing, get out of my car if I have to, & just watch 👀 people tell me "stop it you're gonna make it obvious" & I'm just like "well they're being obvious so why would they care if I am too?" 🤣
QueenOfTheNerds · 41-45, F
Stick around a while. It seems to take a while to make those connections with people through posts here.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@QueenOfTheNerds surprisingly there's quite a few people I connect with so that's cool 🙏 i just feel like such a weirdo when I partake in interactions & I notice I'm the only one completely ignored
QueenOfTheNerds · 41-45, F
@ChiefJustWalks It happens. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Some people are better at replying to comments than others. That’s certainly not a reflection on you or your ability to fit in here. I appreciate your presence here. 🤗♥️
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@QueenOfTheNerds I might reply too much 😂 at least on my own posts lol. I try to interact with everybody who has something to say.
But thank you, I've always appreciated you as well 🤗 I'm glad you're still here & still have the same name
Faroutcat · 46-50, M
I only came here because Yahoo!Answers shut down. And I don’t know where else to go. 🤷🏼‍♂️
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Faroutcat damn man.. that's how us former EP users feel here too. I feel ya. How you like it so far?
Faroutcat · 46-50, M
@ChiefJustWalks Kinda the same as you then. I’m not familiar with EP. What is that?
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Faroutcat it's a site that closed years ago. Stood for Experience Project. It was basically just a bunch of people asking questions or telling stories among other things. When it was closing everyone on EP got a PM saying that Similar Worlds would pick up where it left off & that's what it did
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
Nah you're good bud, the feeds have been kinda messed up recently as well so you don't get everyones posts sometimes
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Ryannnnnn yeah the feeds are a pain 😬 I'm surprised my posts are even as active as they usually are 😂
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
I Use to feel that way in the beggiming on Here but not anymore most people on here love me and respect me
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@JohnOinger when I got back here I heard you mentioned so much I was like "woah this guy's popular" then when I ran into you & saw your posts I was like "ohhh shit I remember this guy making these same posts back then too!"
So I remembered you without even knowing 😂
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@JohnOinger you have a cult following here
LemonWorld · F
I have a feeling you're gonna be "popular"
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@LemonWorld what's that? 😂 Is that a thing here now? Lol
LemonWorld · F
@ChiefJustWalks 😅 long story.. Just be nice *pats your head*
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

Your fine we are all a bunch of refugees from EP..

[image/video - please log in to see this content]
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@masterofyou EP feels like soo long ago I almost forget what it's like. But I used to make songs & post them there. I'd even write poems, stories about my life. All the friends I had on there, are gone now. It feels so nostalgic
masterofyou · 70-79, M
@ChiefJustWalks yes it was 6 years now it was great i use to greet people when they joined had a couple of relationships but they went south ...
I still write and sometimes a poem but they don’t read much ...
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@masterofyou unfortunately real writing doesn't get the same attention it used to. & I feel you on the relationship thing 👌 I only had one friendship from here that turned bad. I'm not mad at her & she's still here.. we just don't talk anymore 😶
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
I don’t know you well, but I like seeing your name on here
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@WaryWitchWandering I could say exactly the same to you 😌 also I find your freckles absolutely adorable

Don't leave. 😞
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@DearAmbellina2113 don't worry, that's not a plan at the moment 🤗
Hi

There has been a lot of change in the 5 years since you have been here. People have left, many new people have joined, and many of those have never heard of ep.

That coupled with the way the feed is structured....mine is set up to just my circle and i rarely venture out....makes it really hard to build new connections.

I am sorry I don't remember you, did we interact much ?
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@InOtterWords that was a her? 😮 I wonder why I always pictures it being a guy 😂
@ChiefJustWalks 🤣
She intentionally kept her gender a secret for a long long time
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@InOtterWords I could definitely understand many reasons why lol
I dont think any of us fit in anywhere tbh. I get what youre saying though, it does come across cliquey. But you seem sweet enough to not be a complete dic, so you'll be fine.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@V00doo yeah I was kinda talking to someone about how I've never felt like I belonged in anything I've been part of & suddenly now I'm thinking that's how most of us here probably feel. It wild.
But thank you 🤗

Also like to add that you're one of the ones I remember too
If you were on EP I must’ve known of you, did you have a different username ?
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
Oh but my EP username was ChefJerfey 🤷 don't ask me why.. I was 13 at the time 😂
@ChiefJustWalks I do remember Chefnumeruno. 😊
You belong here, and you do have friends. 🤗
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@bijouxbroussard Yay someone else who remembers me 😌 the only other one who remembered me joked that I upgraded from "Chef" to "Chief" 😂
But thanks 🤗
SW-User
Folk here love vulnerability in others *twisted f’ckers lol ~ this post just fixed the problem for you.

Just be careful of wolves in sheep clothing ⚡️

Justenjoyit · 61-69, M
Just come on here and enjoy yourself, you will eventually find some people you can connect with.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Justenjoyit it's actually been pretty neat so far 🤙 people are great sometimes
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
Here at SW, you can fit in by not fitting in.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@uncalled4 excellent point.. I think that's why we're all here
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@ChiefJustWalks Yes. You need not be a certain kind of person, at least to me.
SW-User
Man, I get what you're saying but you have a place here as much as anyone, and I think we all feel like that here sometimes.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User idk why it's addictive lol. But same 😂 that's how I left before. But it also helped that my house burned down, I lost everything, & I isolated after that. Quit selling drugs & decided to make a life for myself. Made it easy to delete my account.
SW-User
@ChiefJustWalks damn man, your house burned down? Ffs. I see what you mean tho. That would make it easier to walk away ☠️
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User haha two of my houses burned down. The second one was set on fire by someone I took in like a brother. People can be pretty fucked up
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I kind of feel the same way. Like, I'm one of the newest members here, haven't been here about a year, and I definitely feel like the new kid. I'm not sure whether this is paranoia or not, but I feel like some people blame folks like me for a lot of the people who are leaving.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@LordShadowfire damn man, that's a heavy guilt feeling you got there. Its not the new people that make people leave though.. at least not from what I can tell so far. It's mostly the negativity from certain users or even the fact that this place can become too much of a comfort zone to where you neglect your home life. A lot of people leave just to focus on life or to get away from the darkness that hides here.

But I'm sorry you feel that way. From what I can tell, I think you're great 👌 I always see you around here
SW-User
I'm sure I remember you ❤️
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User & I know I remember you 😁
SW-User
@ChiefJustWalks aaawwww 😀

Only advice I can give is " Never turn your back on the Irish "
