Who do you consider unaproachable on line?

[starburstz91]

Xionking, Mammers and Starburst.

I have no qualms approaching them. They just come off as unapproachable to me personally.

Thank you.

it appears i'm fairly unapproachable. i mean, i have a high post count, but people don't know jack about me (except some of the things that happen 'round here that are a touchy subject to me).

let it be known, here and now, that i welcome any honest attempt at friendship. Bug, Goth and Sae are three people who have made any major connection to me in the recent months, and i'm glad to know them.

sure, i'm a sassy, sarcastic sumbitch who don't back down (Kis, baby, know that i loves ya despite our differences in views), but i have my ground that i stand on and defend vigorously.

i have seen many members on this forum grow and change, including myself. i don't approach people on here often due to the fact that there is that barrier; that unknown motive that some people can't read in text. i'm rather thankful for the upcoming video chat, as it's helped me connect better with people like subtle_feather, Artoo, JoManda, and Skippeh.

we all have our common backgrounds, interests, and reasons for being here. take the time to get to know people. you just never know what kind of good things can come of it.

I don't find anyone unapproachable. I may not like the way certain people act around here but as long as no one attacks me personally its just forum chat. Some of you know I have been here for a long time. I guess the one reason I don't really approach anyone is not because I think someone is not approachable but there are very few that actually live close enough to really have a full friendship with on a daily basis outside of phone or email. That can be difficult at times for me so I tend to stay at a distance.

 

[huskys]

I don't really find anyone here unapproachable.
But then again, as a layed back Aussie, I reckon I'd get on with just about anyone.
(As long as they like sport and B B Q's) lol 😉
What I really wish is that I had more time to get to know more of you guys.
Venray, Crystal, Mills, Tamia, Bugman, and many more. You guys are awesome and it IS my goal to get over there and meet you all one day.

 

[adrenalayna]

I haven't found anyone particularly unapproachable, actually people have been pretty damn nice since I joined, which wasn't too long ago,really. I vow to meet you some day.

 

[Canadian_Eh]

I actually had this discussion with an extremely popular member on the forum about this not long ago. The reason I mentioned he was popular on here was because it was the main reason I was hesitant to get to know him. Alot of people on here may seem "unapproachable" but that's really not the case at all! ... When I first started talking to this member, I remember looking at him like I did the popular kinds in highschool.. You know the ones I mean... The people you always wanted to get to know but due to their popularity seemed somehow "unapproachable". My advice is, Just try and reach out anyway.. the least they could do is say they're not interested. Who knows you could make a friend.. I did.

 

[Lord Doctor]

I wouldn't say anyone's unaproachable. I sometimes wonder if replying to certain topics is an invasion of personal space, and I consider myself to be incomprehensible and often difficult to reply to.

My guess is that pretty face has a way of breaking down any perceived barriers rather quickly, and that unwanted attention may be of a bigger concern at times.

 

[natural tickler]

wow, talk about thread revival.....

 

[goddess_nemesis]

Who do you shy away from? Are there those you would like to get to know but dont know where to begin? Do people with high post counts or lots of friends intimidate you? Why?

I thought about posting in this thread before but I forgot and it got buried. So I'll take this opportunity to reply now. 😀

For me it's not that I find anyone here unapproachable. It's me who has difficulty approaching the people I would like to know. I suck at talking to people. You approach me, great, but me approaching you, . I never know what to say. Even if it is a simple hello, any conversation after that goes down the tubes and it feels so damn awkward.

I have been trying in the past few months of trying to approach the people I want to know, but even during those times when I typed the PM, my thoughts consisted of 'don't say anything stupid, you're gonna say something stupid, dammit you said something stupid'.

After I get to know you, it gets easier. Those thoughts are gone, but it's still when I'm trying to get to know someone that those thoughts plague me. It's almost like a fear of 'I'm gonna say or do something so completely stupid that they're not going to want to know me.'

But I'm working on it. I'm trying to. 🙂

but some of the people I wanna get to know better would include: KrazieDog, Baldadonis, CrystalLight, Bugman (although I know him fairly well already), Kered, MasterPaladin, Miss Serendipity, Ikayoo, Starburstz, AngelOfDarkness, Snail Shell (despite being a stoopid Canadian 😛), Slacker, Mammers, Huskys, Milagros, Euphoricy, Tklee88, General Zod, Robace, Adam, Knot, Excess, Mister Scruff, Artoo, Ravenmoon, Mz Chaos, Vlad, TklDuo-Ann and Ticklingnemesis. *sighs* I probably forgot to mention like 20 people, too...

Carsomyr, PM me anytime you want to. I don't bite... hard. 😛 😛 😛

Sorceress! You has revived zombie-thread!

But your're right, despite your blatant display of necromancy. 😉 People here are amazing! I met some of my best friends on this forum, and I have only been actively posting for about 7 months. Who knows how many more awesome people I have yet to meet or get to know better?

lol, nawr, you're hillarious! I would totally get wasted with you! 😀

I have been trying in the past few months of trying to approach the people I want to know, but even during those times when I typed the PM, my thoughts consisted of 'don't say anything stupid, you're gonna say something stupid, dammit you said something stupid'.

At least that would suggest you DO have something to say, regardless of what you previously claimed in your post. I fail miserably at keeping a conversation going, lol. Oh but just so you know, the people who say "stupid" things are the most fun to talk to! 🙂

Carsomyr, PM me anytime you want to. I don't bite... hard. 😛 😛 😛

If we keep the biting to an absolute minimum I might very well take you up on that.

 

[DimpleToes]

There are a few I find unapproachable yet I am not gonna mention names for it will only cause hurt feelings or get me jumped in a negative way. I have noticed over the yrs that the more ppl rise to the top of the food chain they forget who was there for them when they were a nobody and needed to have a freind to talk to about anything or be there to support them. I do wish them well and hope they are happy in all they do. 🙂

 

[Cave In]

There are definatly some people I find unapproachable here, the ones who've been around since way before i even started lurking here way back in the day and then the newer ones who are all very opininated and are heavily involved in the forums.

While I know most them probably are approachable, I've just never been particularly good at approaching people lol

 

[daddy]

I really don't have a problem, but I have had some bad chatroom experiences with a couple people. I tried to approch them and I was a complete gentleman and all I got back was smart ass remarks or cut-downs. So therefore I just ignore these people and move on.

The only other thing that get's in my mind once in a while is my age. I am not that old (46) but feel as thought the majority of the TMF is now a younger bunch so why would they want to talk or converse with me? Some actually make it pretty clear about that!

Overall, I say what I want when I need to and to who I want. It's all good 🙂

peace out,
daddy

Unforgivable of me, I know. I'll try and keep myself in check next time. 😛 I agree whole-heartedly, though. It's only been about a month, crazy to think how many other cool people I'll meet along the way.

 

[Morpheus72]

Nah, no one's unapproachable....

I just assume that everyone posting is 81 years old and balding, sitting in front of the computer they have installed in their sister's basement. That pretty much takes care of any apprehension.

 

[KrazieDog]

Take the plunge and send a pm, you may get nothing, but you may get some friendly banter that eases your apprehension of the person or you might even make a new friend. The potential good that could come from it outweighs the bad in my opinion. If you ever decide to attend a munch or gathering, there's nothing better than getting to meet someone you've been going back and forth with forever. 🙂

Uh.....yeah.....that certainly woud do it for me!

Funny, I don’t remember seeing you at my sister’s house; but I generally don’t come out of the basement when visitors are there anyway.

 

[ShiningIce]

That Shining Ice is a real dick! 😡😡

 

[Dialon]

I generally wont shy away from anyone if they want to meet me or whatever. I however tend to feel kind of like a "lower" person before more "popular" people on here though, but that is high school mentality still sticking to me. The difference is just about everyone on here in nice, whereas high school is mostly full of idiots.
