How are you? Good? Bad? Happy? Sad? Why? Let's vent!
Up and down. All around. I have some things to be excited about. I have some things going on that make me anxious and scared. I'm also using all this to work on myself.
How are you?
If I were doing any better I would have to be twins.
Another amazing thought provoking post to elevate the community.
I’m going well today. To me it’s amazing how many times westsidemarc will comment on and bring attention to threads he dislikes.
Kind of reminds me of the Howard Stern movie ending. I never really listen to Howard Stern. In Chicago we had Steve Dahl. A different taste you can say. But I saw the movie private parts, which I found entertaining. The thing he said at the end was very amusing. It mentioned the amount of fans that listen to the show in the main reason to see what’s next.if I remember correctly, the amount of people who dislike him was even bigger and they wanted to see what comes next.
@Bear I thought that was a really good movie. But no, I am absolutely not a hater (not that you are necessarily calling me one). I do not participate in these boards out of a space of negativity. I think these boards are GREAT in theory and most of the time in practice as well. And If you observe any of my other comments, you’ll see that I comment on all types of things, the good the bad and the ugly, and many times will chime in with something contributory and positive and constructive to the conversation. And when I do post an OP I always think twice and sometimes three times because I want to practice what I preach. So I will self reflect hey is this an interesting topic for the cuddle community here?
One of the quick examples was, I made a post called why the tongue? Because I noticed that there were a very big percentage of women that were always sticking out their tongue in the profile pics and I wanted to know what the backstory of that was. Now that topic may not be of interest to anyone, but it is legitimate one that’s germane to this platform.
But the thing that bugs me the most here is when people post IMO empty vapid topics like what is your favorite color? Dogs or cats? Paper or plastic bags at the market? How are you? etc.
As a sidenote, I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I have received PMs from other members telling me privately like hey man, I’m really glad you said that on that post good on you. We are not allowed to share posts from others so I follow the rules and don’t. But they often say they were afraid to make a comment publicly but they were glad I did. Opinions vary, they always have and they always will. It just frustrates me when the boards are just filled with empty topics like that. I will also say that there’s a good amount of the time that if I don’t necessarily have anything great to say and will just sort of bypass it as I should. Life’s too short.
I just enjoy seeing the message board populated with at least 1/2way decent level topics (even though I realized that that is very subjective) but when I see topics like how are you, that’s why I smart Alec it here once in a while.
Hope that addresses it friend..
@WestsideMarc You have blunted my desire to post my next great thread topic:
What is your favorite surgical procedure to date and why?
@TheFunCartel post it. I will talk about a positive experience.
@WestsideMarc I always try to look at the positive side of things. I think I’d much rather read about or contribute to a favorite color some of the same negativity from newer people who don’t look back or such. I’ve gotten really tired of the how can this website be improved remarks. or scamming sometimes.
I understand You’re annoyance. It may not be mine, but I understand you having it at something. It’s just the attention it might bring to the thing you like the lease that sometimes I found amusing. Which could bring more of that. I guess that’s why it also reminded me about the end of the movie. People tune in to see what attention is coming next.
Some people are gonna love those post and some people are gonna have the obvious Camaraderie with you about not liking it. For me it’s like watching TV or listening to the radio. I’ll bypass it to see what comes next.
@TheFunCartel I know, but i’m not sure if you’re allowed to say the word Colonoscopy on the platform.
You actually got a real lol from me. Touché.
Speaking of great topic starters where is @dennis22554
I'm sad, but not depressed.. just low
@Lilyk11111 sorry for hijacking your post a bit. To answer your question I’m doing OK today because I’ve slept most of the day. Yesterday I visited with friends and I also saw the 20 anniversary showing of Shaun of the dead for the first time at a theater. I absolutely love seeing it. I think it was a great movie.
Looking forward to going to see alien Romulus tonight. It’s been a very relaxing three day weekend.
Ok
I've been pretty depressed of late. Just stuff in life has been draining, and not worked out. Trying to embrace this start of a new month, and pivot to things that hopefully can bring me joy. While also just being kind to myself as I go through this process.
I'm just squeaking by on paying my rent hoping my job interview landed me the job, and trying to journal at the recommendation of my therapist alongside somatic scretching therapy. and not bottle all the stress up and be a good example for my son #momburnout
Doing well ty, how about you? ... watching a movie! Wish it was with cuddles though! Lol
Honestly, thanks for asking. I’m usually the one asking this of people I’m close to, it’s nice for someone to give me a chance to say I feel great - happier than ever. Hope you all are also, and to those of you above who are struggling, I understand that, it’s all I’ve had the last few months. I only hope the best for you - just keep trying.
I think any who posts a positive post should be encouraged...... even if it seems. of topic. There is already too much negativity in the world..... besides.. unless you walked in the same shoes...who is anyone to judge asimple act of kindness..
I'm what is known as 'meh'. Thinking about a lot of things, like where to go in my career, singleness, etc. But I'm off work until the 12th so I have plenty of time to sort something out ^_^
