Is this place enjoyable in the long run?

I haven't been on here for very long, I think approaching maybe a month or so. I find that I like reading through posts, but I can't really think of much to add or post myself that hasn't already been said.

And when it comes to messaging on here its really hit or miss, with emphasis on the miss. Every time I have a decent conversation going it usually just stops and never continues as if they forgot about me or they were just done with me.

So I'm sitting here, without having done anything on this site for probably over a week. And I'm thinking, how do people come on here regularly, year after year?

I guess the best thing you can do to make it enjoyable for you, is to post about you, your thoughts, your feelings, and naturally people who can relate will gravitate towards your posts.

As for messaging, in my experience it’s extremely rare that I find someone I can talk to for an extended period of time, conversations online have to be give and take, and most people really don’t give a lot back. So I only ever message people if I’ve seen a lot of their posts and read their profile and think it could be mutually beneficial.

For the reasons you’ve said I’ve been here on and off for who knows how many years, but I have found one or two people that I talk to regularly, even daily if I can find the time.
