Because that might be the best example I can think of for someone who would never do it intentionally
He actually seems like the least intimidating person! I think he is very kind and supportive
Clearly he’s never verbally abused you based on your hygiene
Hrmph
Did you have a bit of melted ice cream on your chin when you posted a selfie?
It all stems from a video I posted long ago.. I may have admitted I wasn’t wearing deodorant. And that I hadn’t showered. And next thing you know, I’m a ‘person with bad hygiene’ :grumble:0 -

Soooo.....is a person that hasn't showered and has not put on deodorant an example of, good hygiene?

Literally explained my life story because she thought I was a drama freak. Lol! Good times. Now we are like this close, like two peas in a pod. We even met in person and it was amazingly fun!
Lol I love you too pieces girl!!!1 -

This is a great trait of yours. I'm actually extremely shy in person.... at first. But it's all over once i warm up.... but that's only in social situations. Everytime I change offices I come in like I've been there for years2 -

I agree with this. It is mostly my issue.
I’m intimidated too by the hyper sensitivity shown by some. Inside I just roll my eyes... outside I try to get along.
Wow, i cant believe you just said that.

@leut_underpants intimidated me with his harsh and direct sense of humor.
Same with 2 more but I can't remember their usernames to tag them. Cee? Danny something?
Basically really funny, witty, direct and sometimes harsh people.
I've always had an appreciation and fear of people like that. It's healthy, I checked.
@cee134 and @denny_mac
One time I laughed so hard at Cee that I injured myself in a lawn chair. He gave me the giggles like no one else. Except @MeeseeksAndDestroy

I think this thread just proved the original question of the thread and a previous poster's comment about things devolving into inside jokes and flirting, which by nature is not inclusive.
It is what it is...no matter where you go in life there is always a "cool kids" table and it only has so many chairs. And I say that with no anger or judgment. Most of us grew up like that...unless one is part of the "everyone gets a trophy" philosophy of child raising.
What I find though is that we all find our own levels and the people that we associate with share some commonality...forcing oneself into a group which is well established is perhaps not the right goal anyway. Nothing is "wrong" with being in a clique, or being OGs or regulars...they have created where they spend time and contribute to the culture of the group. It's natural to look for something comfortable in a group of strangers and when you're in, you're in. The rest of us (said generically) will ultimately find where we are comfortable, or create it.5 -

Not sure I can since I am deeply offended that you were deeply offended. Not sure we can ever recover from that...

On the other hand, there really isn't a way to help people break through the barrier. They gotta just crash headlong in if they want to join in. The only way for people to know you are here is to just start posting.2 -

I agree with this.
When I first came here I was no stranger to forums in general, so I just elbowed my way in. I kinda cringe at how obnoxious I must’ve seemed
But had I just lurked for a while I think I would’ve felt like an outsider and bailed.
The first few people I befriended were fairly new too. And the longer I stayed, the more the OGs realized I was a permanent fixture. They became more familiar with my posting style and I theirs. Some inside jokes were explained along the way. New inside jokes were created right before my eyes, only now I understood that it was purely by virtue of being around on the boards when things happened that a person becomes privy to inside jokes. It’s not some exclusive thing.
I’ve also noticed that there are times I can make references to something that seemed like a big deal to me but other people don’t know what I’m talking about at all. I’m glad they tell me that they have no idea what I’m talking about. It makes me feel free to do the same when I’m confused.
Ultimately though, a person has to decide to try to stick around and make the forums work for them. There’s a warming up period. That’s unavoidable. Blaming it on people being close before you came along is just projecting. I do hope everyone feels welcome enough to stay and play. I know there will always be some who feel turned off by it though.
Side note: the vague threads are their own animal. People are purposely vague there. I’m guessing those are intimidating as hell to a new person. Hell, I’ve been here a year and they give me the crawlies.4 -
