in Motivation and Support
So I've been on here for like 2 years and I notice that people ignore me. Why? I don't know. If I'm correct They're here to lose weight and better their health, just like I was. So can anybody tell me how looking away or skipping someone in need will have any kind of benefits?

Wait...
Disclaimer: This is a rant.

Now where was I..it doesn't. When I post to a topic where you have to say something about the person above, I am skipped. When I ask a question, I'm ignored. When I did get some friends, they didn't care for what I had to say, which was I'm so happy I have you guys as support. Yeah, some support huh. I disabled friends because I don't need to be reminded that others are more important than me. What, am I too fat to be on this website? Do I not weigh enough? Am I too young? I didn't need the added stress so now I do it without the help of others who remind me that I'm just a stranger. A strange stranger. Oh well. That's the end of my rant.

And people wonder why the world rejects them. They reject others in their own community. Out.

    In honor of iMikky:

    Hey Mikky!

    Chorus:
    Oh Mikky, you're so fine
    You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mikky, hey Mikky
    Oh Mikky, you're so fine
    You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mikky, hey Mikky
    Oh Mikky, you're so fine
    You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Mikky...

    Hey Mikky
    You've been around all night and that's a little long
    You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong
    Why can't we say goodnight? So you can take me home, Mikky

    Cause when you say you will, it always means you won't
    You're givin' me the chills, baby, please baby don't
    Every night you still leave me all alone, Mikky

    Oh Mikky, what a pity, you don't understand
    You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
    Oh Mikky, you're so pretty, can't you understand
    It's guys like you, Mikky
    Ooh what you do Mikky, do Mikky
    Don't break my heart, Mikky

    Hey Mikky
    Now when you take me by the... who's... ever gonna know
    Every time you move I let a little more show
    There's something you can use, so don't say no, Mikky

    So come on and give it to me anyway you can
    Anyway you want to do it, I'll take it like a man
    Oh please baby, please don't leave me in this jam Mikky

    Refrain1:
    Oh Mikky, what a pity, you don't understand
    You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
    Oh Mikky, you're so pretty, can't you understand
    It's guys like you, Mikky
    Ooh what you do Mikky, do Mikky
    Don't break my heart, Mikky

    Actually I know what you mean, whenever I respond to one of those, say something about the person above you threads, I get skipped.
    Someone told me a while ago when you turn 50 you turn beige and get ignored. ( I know you certainly arnt that age) but I feel as if it is true.
    When I ask questions on my timeline, no one answers.
    Shame to be among so many people and feel so lonely.
    I thought it was just me.
    just keep rocking on, you are awesome.

    It happens. If one is older, or not particularly outrageous, or nothing special to look out it just...happens. It's the nature of the beast. Don't over think it. Some of us are wallflowers here. :glasses:

    Why are you in such need of other people to validate you? That's the thing to think about here. Other than that, do this for yourself and *kitten* everyone else.

    Hi mikky. Try spending time in other parts of the site and then comment on statements you like. Eventually you'll figure out people you click with and those added to your friends list are likely to be more supportive/interested in what you have to say.:flowerforyou:

    You're not looking hard enough. If I had a sweater, and people were tiny, both arms would be filled with the amount of fantastic people I have found here.

    Yeah. It's definitely the MFP community, not you.

    You aren't too fat...although judging by the photo you may be too young!

    Never take any thing personally. Some people can be mean.

    If you want more interaction you may want to make your profile public so people don't think you are a troll.

    This. Just like you don't like talking and being ignored, other people don't like interacting with someone for whom it's always about them and what they need. Try responding to some of the hundreds of posts here looking for support and advice, and you'll soon find more friends and people will start to recognize you on the boards.

    Hi sweetheart, I hope things improve for you from now on as there are some lovely people on this forum who I am sure will take you under their wings now that you have voiced your concerns. I think part of the problem is that the posts move so fast and there are so many of them that often people's comments are overlooked. However, I am not surprised at how you are feeling as Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy GOD!!
    Some of the people on this forum are as mean as cat's p@$$. :tongue:
    But hey, there are also a lot of really nice (and funny) people out there.:smile:

    I'm 21. My profile used to be public and I changed it a while ago.

    Yeah. It's definitely the MFP community, not you.

    Or maybe it's getting snarky replies like this (and others in this thread) that turned her off to posting? Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?

    I have also found that not everyone on here is super warm and fuzzy. I agree with the posters who said you have to just find the good ones and ignore people who are rude or ignore you. There's a lot of people on here, you'll find supportive ones that don't ignore you! ...and do post more!
