ok guess im invisible on here like in life

I posted and noone answered. but answered all the other newbies. guess i am invisible on this site as I am to everyone in my daily life. sorry to waste everyones time

No one is invisible. I just want you to know that you will never be alone posting on this site. It's a great support system here.

Relax, not every topic post gets responses.

Your not invisible. I have posted forums before and had ZERO responses too.

It happens! Don't feel bad... .the forums are flooded with new threads so sometimes a thread or two will get pushed back .. I've had threads go unanswered before as well..

Exactly. Just be proactive. Go through the forums and see what there is to offer. Find people like you and friend them, look up recipes, join fitness groups on here....it's all up to you.

Sometimes it's just a matter of timing, and a thread can get pushed down and lost quickly by other new threads.
If you're looking for new friends, one strategy might simply be to read the other new introductions and send them friend requests. Another good way, which is new to MFP, would be to go to the "Groups" tab (above) and do a search in the groups section for your location or interests. You can find people with similar interests, goals, etc. that might be even better suited as a support system for you there.

Horton heard you, Hoo!

^^^ agreed.

I think I only had two responses to my first post. You just need to reach out to people and give them a chance to reach back.

Also please remember that the main reason we are all here is for one goal, to become fit & healthy. Don't get discouraged just because of a unanswered single post. This happens not only to newbies out here but even for us who are here for quite sometime now.

Did somebody say something?

Hanukkah Harry FTW!!!

From being on other message boards I know that the introduce yourself threads don't get much response. What does is being supportive and replying to others. Get to know people by reaching out to them via their threads and they will remember you and respond to yours in the future.

Don't feel bad. And don't listen to the haters. If ya'll don't like "victim talk" then just don't post a response, if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all. Encouragement is all we need and she may have insecurities and issues (we all do at various points) but bashing them for those insecurities really isn't our place.

An MFPer with one of the most incredible transformations, in my opinion, posted a topic today that died within 4 responses. Don't take it personally, it just happens.
