For the benefit of those of you that I am friends with,
know that I miss our daily banter and going back and forth. Over the past few months, I have been growing increasingly tired of the great amount of of energy Ive wasted writing people that don't write back. That rudeness is common here, after all, dont we all claim to be such decent and caring people? There is an extreme lack of "humanness" in the way we do this- you know me, I answer everyone that reaches out. No matter how brief that response, I know I do not live in a world that's all about me after all, I came here to be part of a community.
I suppose, some of us here are just not conscience of the fact, that our tendency to just dismiss someone with a click may be the reason we are without our ideal in the first place- some seem to conduct their affairs here as though they are on a shopping expedition! Feeling, I suppose. a bit like an inanimate object- as though my worthiness could be ascertained by seeing a few frozen images and reading a few words of self description. Most people are terrible at defining themselves, as the evidence of any real feeling in most of our profiles.
A few of you know know how that is I'm sure.
I'll be around still, and Most of you that Ive connected with have my contact info. Just need to explain to you that I still want to continue getting to know each of you.

Although I don't know you personally, Donathan, I know EXACTLY what you mean!! I had a bit of a "tired of being disregarded" pause earlier in the summer, because I too came on here to interact and not just to observe a lot of people doing their own thing...
My earlier experience was that a few people were quite demanding in terms of attention and support and were then disinclined to return the courtesy, purely spontaneously. Of course, there is little point in pointing this out to them personally as you suggest, it is just how it is...
I've experienced a different level of contact since by focusing on people who can be arsed to respond... so perseverance can be a good thing, if practised with the right people...
So hear the pipes of St Lep calling... and realise that is a positive vibe!
By the way, glad to meet you... as a fellow interactor lol...

I've always made it a point to respond to anyone who sends me e-mail....and also to comments left on my blogs.
But it also depends on the tone of the e-mail. If it's just sexual then I still respond with "not interested".
I've been told that this is a dating site and most are not interested in just getting acquainted or exchanging mail to develop a friendship. The few guys that do contact me and whom I've answered only send a line or two in response to a letter I send them. I think a conversation involves TWO people. If they haven't much to say then I take it as they're not interested and I respond in kind....just a line or two.
There are a few of us who would like to meet and get to know people through corresponding but I'm finding they are few and far between. Like so many others, I don't spend much time here anymore either....it's kinda like beating a dead horse.
Anyway.....hang in there and good luck!

I agree, there should indeed be more leprichaun's in the world- they posess that magic of loving freely without motive.
CPU dude, we are kindred spirits, and its nice to get in some male bonding
without a woman being the subject.
New Patches I love the way you keep it real!
Just goes to show you our little community is truly a haystack- few needles-
glad to have found three more!

ELIE WIESEL:
For one who is indifferent, life itself is a prison. Any sense of community is external or, even worse, nonexistent. Thus, indifference means solitude. Those who are indifferent do not see others. They feel nothing for others and are unconcerned with what might happen to them. They are surrounded by a great emptiness. Filled by it, in fact. They are devoid of all hope as well as imagination. In other words, devoid of any future.

I answer all emails, unless I deem them to be scammers.

Speaking of keeping it real, this is one of the most honest blogs I have ever read.

Wow! So many wonderful answers! I am so very connected to others- to a degree that one might call co-dependent (that is of course another story).
I am continually reminded that I do NOT live in a vacuum, and how important
every single part is necessary to have the whole in the first place.
If your up for a philosophical fantasy- let's all get ourselves a town!

I hiope I am not one of those people you are talking about. I try to reply to you where I can........but lately we have been pausing..........I cant remember who started it........me or you...... . Sometimes I write a message.........then see another one coming in.......go to read that...........then think I have sent the first one........when I havent. So if I could have done this to you......I apologise.
I am like you..........I always write a few words back........unless I cant think of one thing to say........then I usually write *im speechless*..........
