I got enough of this, and I'm starting to lose

I have a confession. It's more of a realization, really. I saw it a while back. And I tried to get ahold of the situation, but I caved in.

I'm addicted to this site. But it's got nothing important for me.
I don't think this is the best place for me to be spending all my free time.

Don't get me wrong. I know a lot of people complain about this place. And despite all the complaints, I think it's still a great place if you've got a reason to be here.
There's a ton of people you can interact with, and hang out, and have fun.
If you're into posting nvdes or s3xual content, then this is a great place to be. There's a lot of freedom to do that on here, which you won't find on most of the other social networks.

The admins are great, I think. As far as I have seen, they've done the best they can to make this place comfortable to be in. A lot of the design elements work great. One minor change I'd recommend is separating the stories from Q&A, both on the home page and profiles. It's a lot easier to navigate.

I've asked all the questions I could. Some have had great responses. Others have had none. I don't mind.
I've shared a few thoughts in blog format. There's a lot more I could share, but I don't think this is the right venue for that.
Seen it all, done it all, yet I still keep logging in and doing absolutely nothing, except scroll on the homepage endlessly, and check out some profiles.

I never intended to talk to people here, through messages.
As I write this, I noticed I got blocked by some woman here. Well, that's funny. She blocked me because she concluded that I was Indian.
Conversation went like this: Read from the bottom going up.

It is, indeed.

Indian men's communication is predictable

I haven't messaged anyone here. Unless they initiated it first.

Her
Only Indian men message continuously lol

rrraksamam · 31-35, M
We haven't talked before.

Her
Ur Indian?
I mean i felt it from ur talks before

Indian men have a certain reputation on the internet. I think everyone knows about it.
I don't even want to get into this right now. So someone blocked me. Big deal. How much has my life changed because of it? Hmmm. 0% change.
This is one of the reasons I haven't initiated anything on this site. I never really came here to look for friends, not really. It seemed like a good place to hang out, without getting close to anyone. And I think that's the best way to handle social media. You don't really want to get close with anyone. It just causes unnecessary drama and problems after a while. This is human nature. They create conflict, then waste time in it.

I got sidetracked for a second.
I think I've got a hankering for knowledge and information at this age. I like to learn new things. I like to apply the knowledge. I'm just interesting in learning in general. This site doesn't provide that, at least for me.
I could spend an entire day here, and at the end of it ask myself, "What have I learned today?"
When the answer is "nothing" then I see it as a waste of time.
I'm losing time here.

I've had a few conversations here, and after a while, we stopped talking. Two strangers chatting online, I mean, how much can you talk before you run out of things to say? Every conversation seems interesting in the beginning, but after a while, you'll have discussed and shared everything there is to know, and then the conversation runs dry.

And you could make some friends here. I think there's some really nice people here, and a couple of interesting ones. If you're into that. Then again you run the risk of becoming friends with people who aren't really who they say/you think they are. Then everyone starts playing a game of hide 'n seek online, stalking people, spreading rumors etc.
I've already seen a couple of threads discussing current/former members who turned out to be liars, unstable, toxic, catfish etc.

SW addiction is like a drug addiction. You know it's not good for you. But once you're hooked, it's hard to come off.

I don't want to delete my account. I think it would be easy to do that. But I think this site is worth checking into once in a while.

The first step to solving a problem like this is admission and acceptance. Then comes the hard part. Getting off the train.
I don't think that'll be too hard now I've outlined the situation. Perhaps a couple of more women messaging me then blocking me randomly should do the job. Be sure to mention how asking for bobs and vegana on social media is not cool.

Well, I have to agree for a big part of what you´ve written in your post.
SW is really not here to learn new things, and when you want to find a serious, good friend it is always a risk because finally nobody know who´s really sitting on the other site of the monitor.

I have the idiosyncrasy to check out people for a loooonngg time before I call someone a friend. I check them out for at least one year; sometimes even longer. Until today this has always worked for me because I always had the "right" friends. This means serious longtime-friends, with contacting each other almost daily.

And because of my current longtime friend it is the only reason why I am coming on SW. Otherwise I would have disappeaered from this site already long time ago. It is not from SW but from this friend where I am learning a lot and who gives me the true feeling that I don´t waste my time. It is even more an enrichment for me than a waste. 💎🙂

I am very sorry that SW doesn´t seem to work for you so like for me. I don´t know you well enough but you don´t seem to belong to the users here which need to be blocked. 😕

I really hope that you will come back here from time to time because you are one of the few users here where I interacted regularly in his posts. 🙂

I'm sorry this was such a long read that I didn't read it all.
I don't know how long you've been here but I can say I've only noticed you recently.
All I can say I've enjoyed talking to you on posts even if it's been minimal.
I hope you're OK.
Hopefully you'll figure out what you plan to do.
But you're always welcome to return.... 😊

I relate on a lot of levels.
Except I stopped looking for a meaning or a point on being here and just accepted that it can be nice just to be here for a while. Even that can be an achievement.
