@SophSmiles I agree they can have vastly different experience but given a big enough sample size you find things are not as different as things may seem.

@Silentpleasure I’m not sure why you feel the need to argue or disagree. You asked a question for people’s opinions and I have given me mine.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@SophSmiles Its just a conversation. I didn't think we were arguing. You are entitled to your opinion but that doesn't mean I can't question it either. I have no ill will or negative feelings toward you and find your position on the topic rather interesting.

@Baaaaaaaa But what if it is reality?

In any public place, one is surrounded by people... but they are alone right? because each with come with their company and stick to themselves only. The same goes for any family or social gathering. Why do you think games and contests are held in social gathering? Just to make people participate rather than feeling alone sitting in a corner.

@in10RjFox So just human nature?

@Silentpleasure I would say its got to do with upbringing. Naturally we are extroverts and curious. Early schooling is I feel what makes more of us Introverts and Shy, as we are made timid by disciplining. Being reprimanded as a child is not a joke and has a lot of psychological impact. During childhood we observe a lot and obey which changes our natural behaviour. So the fear of failing and criticism is what I think makes us refrain from being participative and keep to ourselves.
What probably came as a saving grace is the internet, with which we chat now. Even this interaction won't be there.

@JRVanguard Very true

Many reasons. But I guess it's about a person giving attention to someone, and the other person being willing to receive. And if that attention comes with a heart that seeks to hear and give to help and make the other person feel valued, then it has the hope of connection. But if one of those two people or both are focused on receiving to add value to themselves only and not adding value to the other...then you would be able to tell. An ugly form of sincerity.

@Justafantasy Easy target with no one to back them up

@Silentpleasure when you live your life just letting the blame be water off a duck's back it's all fine, until it's not.
But yeah, I'm an adult now. If you don't want to be part of my life, you don't have my back and you aren't respectful of me I really don't need you in my life.
Makes a small social circle much smaller.

@Justafantasy No need to impress anyone or fight to be around those who couldn't care less if you are around. Hard lesson to learn but a very valuable one.

@Bexsy So its not just me......😓

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@lovingdead How do you practice that?
lovingdead · 31-35, M
@Silentpleasure repetition, isolating myself, overthinking, it's not always practice I wanted or chose...
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@lovingdead Good point

Need for different energy, minds, meaningful stimulation, kind of relationship, attention.
I often feel lonelier around people than when I'm alone.

Have you seen what most people are like? I don't want to be around those.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@NerdyPotato So introvert?
NerdyPotato · M
@Silentpleasure yes, and being empathic, having moral standards, etc.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@NerdyPotato Very true. Sad what the world has become

It happens to me more often than I would like to admit. It happens because you feel that people aren't connecting with you or your level.
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
You can feel as if you are different from everyone.

lovingdead · 31-35, M
@Silentpleasure that's absurd, I'd simply say put butter on it beforehand....two birds one stone....lifehack
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@lovingdead My god you are right.....WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?!?!?!
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
Because not all company is good company.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Moneyonmymind Very true.....better to not complicate the battle field!
Moneyonmymind · 31-35, M
@Silentpleasure life lately sure feels like a battlefield.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Moneyonmymind Have to agree 100% with you on that!
