I don't know what it is about me, but I have a hard time making friends. I really have no idea where it goes wrong, since I am outgoing and talkative and open to people. Usually, when I am on one-on-one with a person, the conversation goes more than o.k., and I always hear the same from them: "I gotta tell you, you really are O.K.".
Still, as a group people just don't seem to like me for some reason. I really have no idea why it is happening to me. I know my mother was the same way, and it actually is the reason she got so upset about her life adventually. I never understood her decision, or her stuggle when I was younger. But as the years pass by, and I have to face the same thing over and over again, I start to feel what she must have felt.
I feel like I am not good enough, I feel like people are right to not to be around me, because I already know that my friendship just doesn't worth it. But than being lonely hurts.
 
When I started at soulcast about two years ago, I thought it was a good way to let some steam out. I used to come up here and just write out everything I would have discuss with the friends I lack. Almost like a therapy. I didn't read many blogs, but than, I didn't get into online fights or made any enemies.
The more time I've spent up here, the more interested I became about the people I saw up here. I started wondering why my blogs never got many readers and comments. I looked at other blogs and started to comment them too. I wanted to become a part of this community.
 
But when I did that, the only reaction I got from the members of this community was the one I am way too familiour with.
 
Ignorance.
 
It became just another disapointment just to log in and see that there were still no comments other than a couple of people here and there. I must say, Silverwhisper is THE ONLY ONE who've never failed to comment on my stupid little blogs. Thank you for that my friend.
 
Anyway, I really don't want to get attention by working on your pitty. It is just one of those blogs in which I am writing about how I feel. I seriously do not expect you all to write a nice little line just to make me feel better. These things should not come on order.  And to tell you the truth, I'm not even sure when and if I am going to log in here again.

    Well don't get discouraged I have only two people that read  mine, gingersoul, and Daily.
    I still like to visit here to to read other's blogs.
    Come and join tblog, I think it's easier to make friends there.
    I am sure that people like you, you have to have confidence and you have to first like yourself
  • scipio said on Aug 16, 2008....
    I am here for the same reasons as stated by Ms
    Star39 specially the friends part. I agree, SW is the only one who gives short and crisp replies to every sensible blog.
    But none the less - the atmosphere is friendly and nice.

    i can understand you being dissapointed at times but thats life and you got to stamp your feet so people look to see what it is or who is making that noise.

    To get anything from soulcast you have to expect nothing. There are very few people here, if any, that have an IQ above a garden salad. An especially onerous aspect here is that the early birds think they own the place. They have asserted that they have squatters rights. And they have disdain for all that came after them.

    Write what you want and take no shit. These people will be a big disappointment if you take them seriously.

    Good luck

    Zsu......hey,  you and I have had very nice conversations ...i remember them very well...:-)

    Please, stick around...its just that lately SC is very quiet...even the most prolific bloggers don't get much comments...

    Ms......hey you..how is your flower business going?
    And you can bet i keep reading you...:-)

    Putting down your thoughts, desires, hopes on black and white is an excellent way of touching base with yourself and your dreams.  The occasional venting is also a good release of negative emotions like fustrations and anger.
    Having a reading public (even if anonymous) is an extra spice that makes it even better.... for you do get to meet some interesting people here.....however......
    It's best to come here without any more expectations than venting some inner emotion that you'd have a hard time doing in real life....and maybe having some fun in the process.

    Thank you guys for commenting this one.
    MsStar39 , I know I should be able to like myself, but when poeple reject me over and over again, it is very hard to keep up liking myself. But I know that there are many reasons for me to look forward to see myself in the mirror in the morning.
    scipio, you know, it makes me wonder who Silverwhisper really is - I mean he comments most of the blogs up here, and keeps on writting his own as well. Does he do anything else, but living a full life of SoulCast? Anyway, I really like the guy, and I always know he will for sure leave a comment. We should publicly thank them in a blog or somehting....
    bluegum, really? Did you see how many blogs I wrote, and how many comments did I get? After a while it gets really disapointing, especially when you are trying to make a point.
    GnawingDog, I like your name. I don't know why you shose this one, but to me it sounds cool. Read my "Dogs and bitches" blog, and you'll know why. Thanks for commenting.
    gingersoul, Yes, I remember you. I should have mentioned your name as well as some others, who did write to me a couple of times. I am not being fair. My last birthday was especially nice when you guys made sure to put a smile on my face. I guess I started to miss the attention after a long quiet? I don't know, I just felt that I had to write about sex or tragedy to actually get people's attention in general, when other people can write about anyting, and get a number of comments.  
    RollingC, I remember you too. I think you are right about not being so sensitive about a blog site. But I don't think I can separate internet communities from physical ones. It is the same deal after all - people gather in a group and interact with each other. Some make friends, while the others get rejected or mostly ignored. I am in the mostly ignored kind of group of people, and that hurts in a long run. Tis is not the only online community I am on, and these sites are basically all the same after a while. People chose to be friends with each other, and I am mostly not one of the chosen ones. No matter how hard I try.
    It's a family thing, as I mentioned. My mom used to be the same way and she was very depressed about it. I guess that is the only way I know how. Depression is a major part of my life, just as it was to my mother's too. But I get it, I know what you mean, and I keep on trying day after day. It's just some times my walls break down, and I feel like a  loser. It takes about a day to totally forget about it, and keep on going ;-)
     
    Thanks guys. Really.

    Something to think about for GnawingDog
  • scipio said on Aug 17, 2008....
    I agree ZsuzsiO. Here comes my thanks to Silverwhisper for his comments. I wonder how he finds time to go through all the blogs in details and then reply. Normally it takes me at least two hours to go through all the sensible blogs and that too only the first 5 to 6 pages. I take this opportunity to thank everyone who posts their comments on my two cents worth.
  • RollingC said on Aug 17, 2008....
    I will be your friend ZsuzsiO   :^)      
  • ZsuzsiO said on Aug 17, 2008....
    Thank you RollingC for your friendship, and for the new smily idea too! I like this one way better than the one I knew: :-)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 17, 2008....
    Me too........:^).........howabout that?...cute....
     
    Good Sunday, Zsu  and Rolling.....:-D
  • andora said on Aug 17, 2008....
    dear Z

    I am a pariah here at SC, sometimes I wonder why I not only get silence, but I also get told I am clinically insane as well as many other insults...it hurts my feelings all of the time and I come here to air my very strong opinions. It does very little for my life in the way of creating new friendships because I am arrogant and 'in your face' about issues that move me. I need a place to express these points of view as a way of self discovery...this is one of the few places where people are willing to be honest, including insults and aggressive behavior. Me, I prefer the truth even if it hurts my feelings. So-called 'polite society' believes in lying about our truth or omitting our truth...very limiting...creates a sickness that we can all see and feel.

    For what it is worth, I feel hurt just thinking about SC, but I come back for reasons mentioned above. In my not so humble opinion, it is not a sign of good health to be well adjusted to a sick society. I relate to my depression as a reasonable response to what is happening around me...then I clean house and stay true to my heart. I keep coming back because I am too lazy to find a new blog probably...but I do not like being censored which is what some other blogs do arbitrarily. The depressed part of me understands your depression and I must commend you for your bravery to speak your truth even tho it may hurt. That is worth loving. aloha
  • ZsuzsiO said on Aug 17, 2008....

    Hi andora! I just got up for a quick look, while my A/C is being installed, and people are all around the place, and my peace is being disturbed. It is noisy and I cannot read anything of the deeper level, but I promise I will check out your blogs. I am interested in those things that you feel people cannot tolarate.

    For some reason our depression and disapointment is the very thing that conects us - pretty cool, isn't it? I guess what they say is true: "everything has a positive and a negative side".

    I'm glad my post comforted you, but I'm also glad to see people reacting and interacting :^)  

  • andora said on Aug 17, 2008....
    hi Z glad you're getting air...that'll relieve the dogdays of august blues!

    thanks for the response, it felt very good to hear your wisdom about there being both positive and negative. I have taken it upon myself to be a voice for the negative polarity...it has been unfairly demonized by the positive/positive crowd: you know the people who want you to be positive about overwhelmingly negative situations?

    Your mom sounds like a soul sister, someone I wish I could hug and comfort because I know they were treated unfairly by confusion and ignorance. I would lay odds that she is or was an attractive woman. anyway, it is easy for me to stay present for this conversation aloha
  • ZsuzsiO said on Aug 17, 2008....
    Well than, andora, I must increase your positiveness about representing the negative side (let's call ourselves the the Jedis of the dark side, or is that a huge step into geekness?) by adding that your status is a major base stone of the whole being of those all smily, sugar coated happy people.
    Without you, my friend they would not exist, you are the ying to their yang, you are the realisty that they work so hard on hiding. What would they do if darkness would not exist?
     
    About my mom - I wish I could hug her too. I wish I would have huged her at times she mostly needed, at times it was easier to hate her and turn away from her. Instead I was one of the many, if not all the people who just never had in me to keep on huging her and not trying to change her or give up on her and leave. I'm not sure if she'd act any different if I'd stayed by her. I'm not sure she wouldn't do what she did, leaving us behind. I seriously believe that it was her faith, one she decided to be her faith, and it was in her hands, not in mine. I only fear that the feeling of shame and blame wouldn't be present now, if i could sadly but proudly say that I was there with her and for her till the end. On the other hand, I am not sure if that act would have not been simply self distractieve, and unnececarry. However, I was just a young girl, and didn't know any better. Still, living my own life in her shadow, now I truely understand the need for that hug I didn't give. 
    And yes, I would say she was an attractive woman up untill her last years of self distroyment. But she never really cared about being pretty as much as she wanted to be loved. Just like myself.
     
    Wow, I don't know where it came from, but it feels good to to be able let it out.
    Thanks 
  • MsStar39 said on Aug 17, 2008....
    ZsuzsiO, It is so nice that so many took the time time to respond
    and let you know that you are not alone and that people do care .

    gingersoul, the flower business is slow right now due to the high gas prices,
    hope that things are still going well at your job.
  • andora said on Aug 17, 2008....
    its never too late to hug your mom, wrap your arms around yourself and say hey to the alienated and lost part of her that was dying to be received and understood. Now, she is knocking upon the doors of your consciousness to be received, because death is an illusion and the problems she died over were not resolved...instead, she dumped them into your lap

    love what you said above, it was like a drink of water on a hot day aloha
  • silverwhisper said on Aug 19, 2008....
    zsuzsio, sorry it's taken me so long to get to this blog entry!

    as you can see, it isn't just me reading you--not by a long shot! but in all honesty, lately it's been rough going on SC, it seems: the posts i've been seeing hit the featured page have had what i would consider a piddling number of comments/views under most circumstances. it's weird, and i'll confess that i don't understand it any better than you do.

    but i'm glad to see you again. :>
