Why do you choose to post?

Peer pressure to start posting? Never heard of that. Does that happen?

Well... It's not DIRECTLY considered peer pressure, but I know some who kinda feel that way.

I know for a fact it's a great way to meet more people. In fact a really good friend of mine gave me the advice to "get out there" more and post, meet new people..., and I couldn't be more thankful to him for giving me that little push! .. That's more what I meant by "peer pressure". Sorry if that was confusing..

Why do I post? Well here is a straight answer. I lurked here a very long time. I looked beyond the facination for tickling and realized there were some seriously wonderful people here. So, part of the reason was to make some new friends, which I have. It was also an escape from my everyday life to laugh and joke and to talk tickling as well. I have never been popular in my life. Even as an actor, after the plat was done I was not even noticed outside my theater family. Those who get to know me will like me but I do not feel the need for any popularity. I act like an attention ***** around here with some of my posts but I really am just joking around. I simply love all I have met here. I am so glad I delurked.

Well, I don't think for me it was peer pressure from others. Just more of me putting pressure on myself to reach out there and make friends. I'd see people chatting with each other, making friends and I'd think, "Gee, I want that." So after reading the numerous posts of how different the forum is whenever you become an active member, I took the plunge. So glad I did. Meeting wonderful people (such as yourself) along the way!

For me, this ^

When I joined the forum, I wasn't really sure why I did nor did I know what was going to happen. For years I lurked the forum without a word. I read threads and soaked up info and slowly started to post more. Still being relatively unknown to most and I got a bunch of pms that only kept me that way. The fact that I found this place was a little bit like waking up inside a dream. After all here I was in this place with a bunch of other people who had the same feelings I did. A well kept secret I had hid for most of my life. Something I couldn't tell anyone.

Something that I knew I loved but at the same time had all these conflicting feelings about. For one, I was still trying to figure out my own feelings in regards to having an interest in tickling, and how that could possibly co-exist with my faith.

A friend of mine encouraged me to start posting more. I really don't see it as peer pressure. Someone reached out to me, we developed a very amazing connection practically instantaneously and from there it just flew outward. My friend's encouragement gave me the strength I needed to push past the bad pms that every girl has gotten here at some time in their stay and because of him I was able to really take part in what I know to be a pretty awesome community.

Ever since I truly de-lurked I have done things and gone places that never in my life would I ever of thought I would do or see. So to answer your question, I post because I want to connect. I could give a rat's ass how high my post count is, though I am more than glad to congratulate people when they do reach new levels. I post to interact, to let myself be seen. To contribute and create meaningful connections with those I have come to love and be friends with and to hopefully make more.

^you're amazing, Chey! We're very happy you de-lurked... in fact, I think I will go ask you another silly question now 😛 😀

 

[McNoodle]

I posted previously because I didn't know how to fit in so it was a shy attempt to make contacts. Now that I have a few friends at least I post to my true nature which is to be a buffoon. Only peer pressure I have ever felt is to go the chatroom 😀

Wow, Who would do a mean thing like that?

You're a great buffoon to post with 😀 And I know this peer pressure you speak of 😀

I don't know what you're both talking about

😀 Its all good Rawr! 😉

Fixed, read my post again 😛

 

[Angel77]

Oh yeah! One more thing. I get to meet fellow insomniacs as well. Unless they're just really, really early birds.

 

[tequila!]

purely for distraction. so when people are reading my page-long diatribes, i can steal their lawn furniture

 

[ViperGTS]

I post because this is my family.

It sounds sappy, but let's face it - one must go where they feel accepted. I still go out and am social amongst vanillas, but this is where "everyone knows your name" so to speak, and where people already understand my kinks and darker side. I don't need to explain myself to these people because there's a universal understanding already.

 

[Carsomyr]

You've been drinking again, haven't you?! 😱

Oh, and I post exactly for reasons such as this one. To make sure my twinny stays out of trouble! 😀

I'm out of trouble? You're out of trouble! YOU'RE out of trouble! The whole TRIAL is out of trouble!

LOL Amanda, Sounds like he needs it 😛 ... We you cars, we really do 😛

Don't encourage her! 😱

Anyways, glad it's impossible to interpret my original post, because I actually remember what it was supposed to say... <_<


YEAH anyways, on to a more serious reply:

The reason I post is quite simply because I enjoy it, but the question would then rather be WHY do I enjoy it? Mostly It's because it is a great way to socialize and make new friends - some of the most epical people I know are all TMF'ers, so... yeah, it's not just about making NEW friends, it's about coming back to the ones I already have. 🙂

The silly stuff forum is also a great place to go if you want to just kill time, but I've kinda stopped posting there just to advance my feather level. Can't be bothered anymore. XD

 

[Wildtime]

I tried talking about tickling with other strangers, but they just looked at me weird. It made for a long bus ride home.

 

[-Hari-]

I post to share my opinions and see how other opinions differ from my own.

Also because I want other people in the community to know what im about, so if the chance comes up where I could meet some of them, they may actually actively want to.

Silence never got anyones attention.

Hello my dear. You mentioned all the bad PM's. I am truly sorry you went through that. You seem so sweet from what I have seen. I chat with a gal I met here from Austin. She posted here a couple of times and then stopped for that very reason. She is a nice gal too and to be scared away from a great place like this is very sad indeed. I sure hope to get to know you better as I have so many people here.

Cheers
Tom
