what has the forum here done for you?

i have to say that if it wasn't for talking to all you freaky bastards i woulda lost my mind 2 years ago. i actually have a much easier time opening up to new people now in the "real world" than i used to. i have a greater appreciation of my personal worth and a better understanding of how little i actually understand.

and when i was still in total denial about my little "rage" problem, being able to go back and read through some of the thngs i said (which i couldn't believe i said but couldn't deny having said them) i reallly had to address what a psycho bitch i'd become and get over it.

how 'bout y'all?

 

At first it was just a way to pass time at work. Now it's become something a little bit more than that. I can open up to people here, get a quick laugh when I need it, and I feel I have actual friends here.

 

its a place to pass the time still more than anything..

however ive met some really good people face to face from here, , an one i wish id never met..:$

i guess thats the biggest thing the forums have done for me,, is expanded my circle of friends an family,, the rest is just boredom...

 

When I was pregnant this place was good so I didn't lose my mind and now it is my social escape without leaving my son.

 

I've made friends in real life that will last a lifetime. Developed a romantic relationship with a wonderful girl, unfortunately things didn't work out, but I learned alot through that experience. Have made serveral other 'friends' that I can't wait to meet in person someday.

Its been a very positive experience for the most part

 

yeah. i'm pretty stingy with my affection. i gotta say that once i got over beng a pissy bitch that quite a few people here have worked their way into my heart. just a bit, though. 'cause i'm still a hardass who dislikes drama.

 

Negligible effect to me... of course I'm still pretty much an outsider so not much can be expected.

 

boredom aversion is a good thing, stinkfoot! and hey! i've worked my way around to recognizing your funny avatar!! that's something!

 

Kinda hard to explain what the forums have done for me really. I guess something along the lines of what KC has said already.

Truth is though I consider quite a few people on here to be my friend. I've learned a lot of things from a lot of different people. Not fact wise, but tidbits about life. You guys have shown me more about my behavior than anybody ever really could in "real life".

 

There's an evil monkey in my avitar!

Now that you do mention it- browsing & posting here has saved me from sheer boredom... excellent point!~

 

i think we get a lotta people's baser human emotions and behaviors. anonymity does a lot for getting people to open up. the whole reason catholics started their confessional practices.

 

i want that crazy cow that starts out "mooooooooAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA MOO! MOO!" can you see if you can find that for me?

 

I'll look for it & PM the link to you if I'm successful.

 

It's done nothing but piss me the fuck off and the only reason I stick around is because I like pain.

 

see? now you're included!! AHAHAHAHAH!

 

'kay, so there's one vote for sexual gratification from the forum. glad we can help.

 

I met the most amazing man on here :&

 

teehee. i have a place to brag about mine...

 

you crack me up.

 

I've met quite amazing people on here ( in young hippies fora) and i like how cool funny and open-minded the people are here ...

It's been also an excellent place to drain the majority of my free time
