AIBU?

to feel confused by the level of affection one feels for nicknames on a screen?

I'm a bit late to the party, having only just discovered MN (never been on other "chat" type sites either). It really feels like people care about each other here, and (like countless others, it seems) I continually find myself "checking" on people on certain threads, and thinking about some posters' welfare very regularly.

I can't formulate my question exactly, but isn't it a bit weird that none of us really knows each other? Or do we? What does it all mean?! People who have been on MN a long time: do you feel that you have real "friendships" here?

HoneyDragon · 07/08/2013 13:27

seritonin you are only about 15 minutes from me, I reckon

ZingWidge · 07/08/2013 10:44

anyway, there's no way it was me you didn't like. I only joined last November.
I was just being silly.

ZingWidge · 07/08/2013 10:41

I guessed!

TheRealFellatio · 07/08/2013 09:35

Do you know what I look like? (apart from beautiful, obviously)

ZingWidge · 07/08/2013 09:33

thereal it would take a hell of a lot more to make me not like you!

stop frowning, it's going to ruin your beautiful face!

BIWI did you just lay a tiny egg?

TheRealFellatio · 07/08/2013 07:54

I'm looking sternly at everybody now.

ZingWidge · 06/08/2013 22:26

thereal but you didn't say it wasn't me, did you?

so it must be me

ZingWidge · 06/08/2013 22:24

?????????????????

ZingWidge · 06/08/2013 22:24

?????????????????

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 06/08/2013 22:03

Awwwww Fru! I wish there were little heart emoticons

You're lovely too.

FruOla · 06/08/2013 17:04

Don't be daft, Hearts, how on earth could anyone dislike someone as lovely as you are?

= you are a fab lady!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 06/08/2013 13:34

Nope. It's me, isn't it?

BIWI · 06/08/2013 12:09

[kisses]

TheRealFellatio · 06/08/2013 10:54

Oh stop it.

BIWI · 06/08/2013 08:59

Shows what little self-esteem/how much paranoia we all have, doesn't it?!

ZingWidge · 06/08/2013 08:07

it is, isn't it?

ZingWidge · 06/08/2013 08:06

therealfellatio

is it me you don't like?

TheRealFellatio · 06/08/2013 08:04

Oh don't you start! As if I'd say that out loud on the forum knowing damned well that the person in question might see it - especially when I have them on fb! What DO you all take me for?

I haven't seen or heard of that particular person in many months, possibly even years. They may still be here under a NC - I have no idea. Blimey I will now have every MNer at that meet up queueing up to go 'Is it me? It is, isn't it?'

Go on Fell, confess.... is it me you don't like.... I won't be upset if you say yes lies

madmomma · 05/08/2013 12:36

I really really love MN and it has got me through some tough evenings. I feel huge affection for lots of familiar names even though they probably wouldn't recognise mine. It is quite strange and maybe a bit stalkerish I love how you get a real sense of people's personalities on here.
