I’m not a fan.

That bar with names at the top is giving me anxiety.

I don’t want people to see that I’m here because sometimes I’m logged in but not paying attention.

On the flip side, I can see my invisible friends who are most likely on because of positioning in that list but they aren’t talking to me. Before I wouldn’t know I was being ignored. For someone who struggles with feeling like I’m usually ignored, not good. 😞

It annoys me to no end. What's the use of that VIP invisible to others feature if they're going to show who is online anyway

You'd think there'd be an option to be visible or not in the account settings...

@Thevy29 That’s just it. There sort of already is with the showing of the green light or not. I have mine set to not show, but I’m sure I still appear in that list for some people because I see them in mine.

Don't feel like they need to message you back, because the people that love you the most, love you for who you are and not what you're trying to be. I can tell you struggle a little bit and that's ok. Doesn't matter if you do struggle. But the ones who love you the most will be by your side with you, just keep on moving forward.

@DiliMarky Thank you so much for that.

@Dewkissedrose It's ok, what can I say, I'm wise at this stuff😄

Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F

@DiliMarky So wise for such a young man. :D

I wish there was a way to get rid of it

Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F

@MURD3RM0NK3Y Me too. I come here because it’s mostly a safe space for me, but if it’s going to increase my anxiety and depression I’ll have to leave. 😞

MURD3RM0NK3Y · 26-30, M

@Dewkissedrose I'm sure if enough people complain about it they'll take it down

Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F

@MURD3RM0NK3Y I hope so

Yeah I don't like it either. I don't like my face being up there & I get the feeling it probably always shows me on because SW is forever running in the background on my phone 😂

@Dewkissedrose I don't have an iPhone so I don't know what emoji you just sent 😅

Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F

@ChiefWalksWith40oz oh. Lol. Whoops… peeking through fingers.

For me, it doesn't seem to correlate 100% with the recently active users page. Some people on the bar haven't been online in hours, per the aforementioned page. Even if it was accurate, I'm not losing any sleep over it being there

@Budwick awwww. So peaceful. :)

I find it annoying and just something else to ignore

Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F

@cycleman my mind won’t let me ignore it.

cycleman · 61-69, M

@Dewkissedrose sorry

Mine is only showing there is only one other person in here. And you isn't him.

Dewkissedrose · 46-50, F

@cycleman probably because we haven’t interacted enough. :)

InOtterWords · F

I don't mind it too much.
It is of people i interact with so it is nice seeing who is about.

I think also, my friends understand i don't always want to chat. They give me space and they don't feel offended.

I don't think it particularly adds to my SW experience but it doesn't worsen it
