social isolation

[daft ada]

Thank you for being so open and sharing Bob...

Hi mate, dunno what came over me :-) touched a nerve I think.

The beauty of a forum like tot is you get to like people as a result of their comments and interaction with others as opposed to physical appearance.
Would we all feel the same about each other if we all met face to face I wonder?
I think after the initial surprise of physical appearance, we would all get on just fine!
Hugs Bob!

Well you can see my ugly mush on my profile page. Thanks for the hug mate.

Interesting comments. I used to be pretty much a social butterfly - parties, entertaining, people always popping in. And I used to love it. But now? The older I get, I love being on my own. I am alone but not lonely at all. I crave my 'aloneness' when too many people want my personal time. I think I have a balance. That's the great thing about getting older, you tend not to give a stuff about what anyone else thinks. And I also think being 'selfish' with common sense, is a good thing. It's learning when it's a good thing to say 'yes or no' and feel no guilt and no need to apologise.

The good thing about this forum, is you get to meet like-minded people and if you don't feel in the mood to interact, you just don't. And no-one minds!

Edit: Friend request sent to you daft ada...

Thanks Suzi. I can stand in a room with 500 people and feel alone.

That is so very true Russ, we are all guilty of it, we look at someone and think ewe, don't like him or her, without even trying to speak to them and getting to know them, having said that though I have sometimes read peoples threads and posts on forums without commenting and felt I didn't like them, but then I just keep away from them and leave them be. Some people take a dislike to you and then have to hound you and cause you pain, I have left several forums because of that, but I will never get into a slanging match on a forum.

Thanks for the reminder Russ.I recently told my children the meaning of "Namaste", i think it is such a beautiful word/thought-

Namaste, i believe means "i acknowledge the God in you" said as a greeting
