Who do you consider unaproachable on line?

[venray]

Is this gonna be your next show??? LOL

LOL no .... one was enough but the topic is still interesting and we could do a segment or 2 on upcoming shows...

 

[Illtcklu]

Well then let me just say to anyone who might consider me unapproachable ( not that i really think anyone does, am I doing something right or wrong) feel free to PM me!

 

[Mz Chaos]

Well... I don't want to hijack your thread of who is "unapproachable" and start posting about the type of person I "wouldn't want to approach,"
so... I suppose I'll wait for that thread.

Either that or just say...

I wouldn't approach any one in here that, through their posts, I feel I have nothing in common with or whom I would feel uncomfortable talking to.

 

[kered]

I have no qualms about approaching anyone here that has similar interests I have. Or even if they don't. You never know unless you talk to them.

 

[Perduabo]

I'd like to get to know just about anyone here who would be interested in striking up a friendship with me.

Problem is, I'm rather dull and uninteresting, and I tend to have a dislike for fundamentalist christians. This tends to make the people flee 😛

 

[Sanhael]

Fundamentalists of any stripe are scary people. There's having a strong belief, and then there's not being able to recognize that other people have differing, equally strong beliefs.

That is true, but my past experiences with these people have shaped my current wariness of them. I hardly see any other religion aside from fundamentalist Islam with as much hatred as fundie Christians. But I don't want to turn this into a thread hijacking...

Kris123. Never put the two of us in the same room, and quite honestly, in the same thread either.

Individually, everybody here seems approachable enough, I guess. For me, and we all know, its been more approaching groups of friends, as apposed to individuals themselves.

Seeing the vast friendships that have formed on here is somewhat intimidating, especially when you live on the otherside of the world where opportunities like 'gatherings' are rare (our Melbourne gathering rocked though, Huskys! 2 people, woooo!).

There are people here I don't particularly like, honestly. And I'm sure the feeling's mutual. That doesn't mean to say that I think they're unapproachable, however.

For example, Jo and I don't really click at all. But I see how she's a great friend towards those she cares about, because I see how grateful her friends are to have her. And to me, that makes her one of the most approachable TMFers here.

I have a very on and off relationship with the TMF. I'm a tickle freak, and always will be, but my motivation for involvement on these forums is very much reliant on whether or not I feel like my input will be acknowledged on any level by anyone. And hey, more often than not, it's not, and that's cool, but it stops me from wanting to involve myself further.

So, I guess, after saying that, there'll be days where I'll view the whole TMF as unapproachable, rather than anybody in particular. And that is of fault of my own, and my deep seeded need to feel like I belong. Meh.

Why does this NOT surprise me???

Awww so cute...the kris joke; how original! NOT!!

Don't worry, KIS123 feels the EXACT same way about you!

Now onto addressing the OP:

I don't find most people unapproachable although I find a few that just aren't worth the effort in attempting to get to know. There have been some who I initially didn't get along with and have mended some fences and built a few bridges (no need to mention names, they know who they are). There are those who I vehemiently disagree with on a regular basis, but respect them for standing on their opinions and defending their positions. I don't have to necessarily like someone to find respect for them or something to admire.

Then I have a short list of those I'd just as soon eat glass and throw myself over a bridge than to be bothered with (hence the lovely quote above). Oil and water; just nothing in common and really could care less one way or the other. People can say and think what they want about me; I'm going to keep it real right, wrong, or indifferent! I don't back down to anyone; in that respect yes, I can be very unapproachable and literally immovable. I've learned a lot being a member of this forum but right is right and wrong is wrong. If I'm the only person out of the 80,000+ members of this forum with an opinion, I will defend it to the death regardless of whatever the masses think. That's the way I am and have absolutely no reason to change it. Those who don't like that about me (and I know there are quite of few) are personally invited by me to use the ignore function because their opinion of me isn't going to stop me from posting.

And it seems to stand that I'm very approachable; everyone on my friends list approached and invited me. I have some good people on here who feel like I'm worth having around.

Lol, now that you're done blowing wind out your ass...

In another mood eh?

Okay......whatever!

You gave your opinion and I simply couldn't agree with you more. I give my opinion and what do you do? What you always do--act like a child! It's a real shame that you have to reduce yourself to such but you simply can't help yourself can you?

Since I simply refuse to give you what you want (and that is a fight), I'll go back to lurking and you go back to doing whatever little boys do. Up to this point, this has been a very civil and mature thread. Maybe you shouldn't have posted in it.

And my ass is just fine; thanks for your concern! You'll never win with me; you need to leave me alone and go your way and I'll go mine like REAL ADULTS do. I know it's hard, but if you start today, you just might get over it in awhile.......

That's quite a gust coming out of there, kis123.

Ok, you're benched, stay out of this thread.

 

[TMF Jeff]

I don't know how this thread got closed. The log says it was me, but if I did it, it was completely accidental, sorry for the interruption. I must have accidentally done it somehow. I wonder if I've ever done that before, shit...

You are losing your mind, sir.

 

[BlackestLily]

I suppose perhaps that no one here seems particularly like they would tear my face off if I said hi, but that I would probably have to have something very compelling or interesting to say if I was going to approach a stranger under the purpose of friendship. I much prefer people to approach me, and I couldn't say quite why that is. Shyness, laziness...I don't know.

So in that, people seem more intimidating because of the fault of myself, not anyone else.

Have you eaten brownies lately? Is time moving really slow? 😛

If pot is going to start making me screw up the forum, we're all in a lot of trouble...

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Nah! Don't worry Jeff! It's just tickling withdrawal. You'll be fine once you get your mitts on some willing victims at NEST! 😉

Oh, and lest I be totally OT here... I find everyone more approachable when I've had a few tokes.

 

[Saeria]

I tend to find pretty much everyone unapproachable until i've met them or they've introduced themselves to me. meh, what can i say, i'm a social 'tard. I tend to find men much more approachable than women, however.

for me i think i am just misunderstood
yes in the beginning i screwed up so i am misunderstood.
I hope i can fix that!!!

I have, does that count? Guess not. Well fuck you all!

That probably goes for everyone though, at least it does for me. That's how sexual assault stories sometimes start too...

 

[Mephistopheles]

A very sad truth. I made that mistake a long time ago during the Golden Ages of my life because I didn't think I was good enough for her. Particularly sad since looking back I can see that I most likely had a VERY good shot with her. Growing old sucks more for things like that than anything else (well that and the old part <_<)

It once took a bet (1 case of beer if I managed to have sex with this stunning blonde) for me to realise that. Beer tasted great and I was just 19 or so at that time, so my golden ages hadn't really begun yet.

Well, this stuff is much more likely to fuck about with your perception of time than marihuana, and it's found in over the counter cough pills. Normal people take about 30 of those, but those with lacking a certain enzyme responsible for metabolizing this chemical can be completely drugged for 3 - 5 days after just 2 pills.
