Pointless but curious Accidental Conversation Killer! - Page 3

I noticed the same with me, and I also notice that person x can make a thread and it's all "yea congrats, thats great hun xxxx" yet if I make a thread I hardly get any replies or I seem to get more frosty ones. I sometimes get paranoid that people don't like me etc, but oh well. Im not very confident anyway, so i'll blame myself for this one.

Don't worry im sure it's not you!

Don't worry I feel like that a lot to.

It's just the way it goes.

I think because I can be a bit of a loony tune at times people don't know how to take me so I'm always a bit paranoid about what everyone thinks of me, but I realize now I should just relax and be me and it's helped having so much reassurance! This forum is fab and I doubt I'd have managed through 1st tri without it! Thanks ladies x

Awww!

to the original poster & also to Tilly (& anyone else feeling like this)

its hard to keep up with a forum as busy as BnB but I don't think anyone would intentionally ignore anyone
(unless they seemed argumentative & I don't think thats the case with either of you)

People invariably do make friends with people in similar situations to themselves & maybe they tend to speak mainly to each other - but not in a 'cliquey' sorta way
(well I don't think so anyway) so I'd say just keep posting regularly & im sure loads of people will welcome you into their 'groups' of regular people to chat to once you become a familiar face

Honestly, there are LOADS of really lovely people on here, some of whom might've been members for a long time? but just remember, we all felt a little shy & insecure to begin with

... but now we are part of the scenery at BnB

& I bet before you know it you'll be just as addicted as we are!
