Ignored

[DumbledoresGirl]

I am feeling ignored.

If this continues, I feel like flouncing.

Trouble is, if I do, who will notice let alone care?

i will notice and i will care. please don;t flounce... sometimes you have to shout REALLY LOUD on here !

Jeez, I feel like I have shouted until I am hoarse. What more does it take?

But thanks Lulumama - you are always very sweet to me and it is noticed.

s'alright!!! is there anything in particular you ar e struggling with...is the diabetes issue getting sorted.....?

sometimes active convos move so quick you need to bump every 10 minutes....i don;t honestly think that out of sight means out of mind...just people get busy and distracted......

i am spectaculary good at making a fuss so i would do that a lot if i needed help..remember i started a sympathy thread when i cut my thumb on a tin ! LOLLOLOLOLO

sorry, didn't mean to ignore you

Oh the diabetes thing seems to have disappeared thanks. I am keeping an eye on dd but I think it was a one-off.

It isn't anything in particular. I just feel I will never make it into anyone's circle here on MN and when you know that I MN because I never make it into any circle at all in RL, well, you might understand why I feel so fed up with it all. I MN nearly every day and I try my absolute hardest not to be offensive and some people seem to respect me, but I never get anywhere IYSWIM?

its hard isn't it. i suppose people just get carried away with chit chat. sorry sweets hug and a cup of tea for you x

Guess I just don't have what it takes. How great does that make me feel?

Thanks for tea - delicious.

I love you DG!

ok...why do you need to be in a circle.? by circle do you mean a group where you look outr for each other and MSN each other .....

you should come to the bar of an evening!!! it tends to be ever so friendly, just chit chat and silliness rather than big issues and that is how i seem to have made some MSN buddies ..

also, i post a lot on the pregnancy & birth threads,so i seem to be 'known' , but that is because of a particular interest..

do you have a topic you love that you can really go to town on?

another harry potter thread....? are you fab at cooking? baking? DIY?!?

what do you like / where do you live (approx) / what are your interests and how old are your kids?

I'm definitely not in an mn or rl circle either

whenever i haven't posted for a while absolutely no one has noticed

I think mn is quite unpredicatable and fast moving, it's very easy to miss people

i dont know if youre referring to anything in particular...

i feel like that fairly often too... need to get some perspective tho. how much does each and every mn member mean to you? do you listen out for everyone elses every word?

i notice you a lot. youve never offended me. i dont remember anything youve said, but i dont rmemeber anything anyone says much. i hardly even remember what ive said

and as for ignoring - i dunno. i think people ofteen read without posting, i know i do. i often click on a thread, chuckle my way through the whole thing, go to post...and then realise i have noting really to add. so i dont. or on serious threads, replace 'chuckle' with 'read with concern'...

are you due on?

dont flouce silly, what would you do with your time then?

hi DDG, i've seen you about and love your MN name but (hang head in shame) never said hello!

sorry!

i've only been here a couple of months and am still establishing myself.

actually i've been really blinkered and only posted on West London Meet Up threads until recently.

have just started asking for advice on other things tho and have been a leeetle bit disappointed not to have got as much response as i'd hoped.

difficult not to sit at home in front of the 'puter thinking you're being ignored in favour of much more interesting or sparkly convos!

d'you have any MN meets in your area? this area is prolific and i'm grateful for that!

chocolate and wine coming your way.
x

Thanks Rhubarb. You did lift my spirits when you said you wanted me to come to the meet up. but you would have hated me, I know.

PMSL lulumama Do you not know these things about me? I feel as though I have told my knicker size 20 times a day here! I post all over - well mainly chat and anywhere where I can impart my experience of child related issues. I don't get to the bar much because I tend to MN in the dy when I am lonely rather than in the evening when dh is here.

I have 4 children and live near Bristol. I am an old fashioned sort. Very shy, but very outspoken (hence why Rhubarb wouldn't have liked me) when face to face with people.

How about you?

Thanks to all who have responded. I guess the point of flouncing would be to concentrate my efforts on meeting real people who can offer me real friendship.

I know what it was like to be new and ignored Paddlechick666. If you want to get past that, you have to post for a good 2 hours a day and never let your threads drop off active convos until you have your answer/debate/etc.

But I am past that stage now. I know people know me. But I see other people joining and getting accepted and I wonder why I never get to that next stage. Oh and btw, no I am not due on! Just a miserable old cow who will be embarrassed by this thread by tomorrow and wish it could be deleted (but by then it will have dropped off active convos and no-one will remember it).

I've seen you on here loads DG and always thought you were part of the 'old girls network' .I am just a bumbling newbie who is continually tlaked over, esp when the 'old guard' arrive!

lol DDG!

you really are on a downer on yourself today!

what's your definition of "the next stage"?

i used to live Bristol/Bath in my younger (read party) days, it's a great area.

i think you sound very interesting, shy but outspoken! maybe you should try being more of yourself on MN rather than trying not to offend or upset anyone!

;-)

ps: apologies if i've upset or offended anyone

im always under impression that your very popular on here!i havent got used to pace on mn yet,still new!cant keep up!
dont be embarresed!

DDG! I always get the impression you are well-liked and respected on here (and FWIW) I always enjoy your posts.
And, there are times when I feel 'ignored' on here too, and sometimes beat myself up and think ''FFS, I can't even relate to people in cyberspace, what chance do I have in RL?''
Then I feel down becuse many of the people on here I feel I have 'clicked' with live so far away and I'll never be able to take it past MN disucssionboards
But I know with me, these thoughts are definitely hormonal...

Keep your chin up, keep posting and keep on being Dumbledore's Girl

i also thought you were part of the old girls network !! so maybe you are ! and just don't know it!

FWIW ..when i was really depressed, if i called someone or texted or emailed and they didn;t reply. i ;d take it soooo personally!! and now i see, people are busy, esp with kids and you can;t always be top of the list!

see , i know who you are ,but don;t know much about you!! don;t really know if anyone knows much about me, or just knows of me

so did I lol..in fact vcorrection you are

sorry...am SAHM , but hoping to start my doula - ing very soon...live in merseyside, DS is 7, DD is 15 months...and that is it....! nothing special !!

dont be daft DG, you are well liked on here. Dont take it to heart, have a search of my recent posts - i get approx 3 maybe 4 replies, so i do know how you feel - I started a post yesterday about being made redundant, one person replied. It did piss me off a bit because other posters would get 100's of replies and lots of (((((hugs))))))), but hey- life goes on!!! -its not worth flouncing about because occasionaly- I do get more than 10 replies!!

Dont be so down about it, I can tell that you are a well liked poster

Some posts get a small respose if people cannot relate to them, not because of the poster. But you are right when some people post they get a huge response..
