I try hard to help when i have time, but its like people see me as a stranger. They just passivly read it. I guess i put too much. I thought i put too little. I dont get much responses to my posts.
Well, i should go switch personalites, tony... Wait i shouldnt of said that, i may. I came back to one with my therpist, because I felt humuliation in school. But thats childhood past, not important now.
Well I am going to still post to help even if its not considered, i want to give advice and help.

Actually I think you get good responses to your post. I have read many, I haven't responded because I didn't feel as if I could add to the already close comraudery you seem to have with so many here. I have no clue if I spelled that right or not.

You know rjlockhart98, I have always felt the same way. I mean, I really understand completely. I've felt just like you.
But then people were actually asking about me when I took a few days break from here. I think its some sort of phenomenon that happens in chatrooms. I think the deal is, tons of people read what you say, and may even feel strongly about it, but they don't necessarily post. I know I've done that. There are a million reasons. Maybe the person has never posted before and is scared, or the person doesn't feel they are knowledgeable enough to respond, or they're just scared of rejection.
So don't feel you're responses are irrelevant. Just keep posting and know, there's no way of knowing who has read and been helped by your responses.

THanks,
In the past i have really came up with some manic posts. Now i am slowed down. I have more stuff going on, collage, work, relationships.
What you said is true, true, true. Some posts like "my visit to a mental ward" got TONS of responses, its attracting. "Nicotine for depression" attracts people to becuase its more widely curious to people. But something out of the blue dont get anything.
Well i gotta run really quick.
Thanks
Matt

I like seeing your posts, too! Sometimes I don't respond to posts because I'm not sure what to say. But I'm glad you're posting again and doing OK so far! I also like that you post your pictures, which I've looked at. You seem to have a nice group of friends and family and I think it's so cool that you share those pics iwth us here.
take care!

Hi RJ,
I am sorry you are feeling slightly left out. I am sure it was totally unintentional for anyone here.
One small suggestion that I have - change your handle.
It is extremely hard to correlate rjlockhart98 to an actual person. Like real world, people have a tendency to associate a picture with a name. It is very hard to associate a picture with your name. That could possibly be the reason why you are not receiving as much of a response as you desire. Change it to something simpler, and something that probably associates with you in some way. That will really help the posters form a mental association with you.
Plus, frequent contribution is also a better idea if you want to be remembered and posted back to. Usually people tend to form a circle of friends, and it is just a natural aspect.. So, even if you don't have anything to say, just hang out here, and post every other day a line or two, and try to form kind of friendship with few people. That might also help.
Other than that, I have liked your posts in the past. I would definitely look particularly for your posts in the future and will reply.

Well, thanks for that advice.
Rjlockhart i made up as my identity here becuase i changed my old screen name from "mmcconathy" which is my first inital, then last name. I though Rj would be more apealing to others. Be known as "rj".
Yes i have posted before, there are groups, diversites on psychobabble that tend to chat with each other. Intrests, personalities, past events, so forth. But yea.
I think i relevent topic to talk about is important. But some people just blow it off. Sometimes small talk is BIG.
Thanks for all your advice everyone
Matt

Hey mate!
I like your posts and I know MANY other people do too. Personally I often stuggle to find anything relevant or interesting to add to any post, let alone yours. And I expect many other people are the same. So its not that people aren't interested, they just have nothing to add.
I myself dont get many replies but I shall continue to post what and when I like, and as long as it doesn't offend then its ok. Getting a reply is a bonus.
You have a unique outlook on life - we all do, and your posts are as relevant as anyone elses. So please keep posting so we can all continue to enjoy reading your thoughts and comments.
Kind regards,
Kev.

Matt, I love reading your posts. You have become quite educated in a variety of meds. And when you post your side effects for others it helps. It really does. And sometimes on the other boards you can be very witty and make me laugh. Fondly, Phillipa
