> I'm feeling frustrated by this thread, I guess because we seem to have thoughtful, articulate shadow babblers who are lurking instead of posting. How do we change that?I can't talk on behalf of anyone else, only on my own experiences. And I've been very hesitant to bring this up at all.
But I believe that posters in distress generate a lot of replies. Don't get me wrong, I don't just mean if they're s, but rather if the tone of the post is great angst or upset. People jump in trying to help make things better.
Whereas if someone is upset about something but posts with a calmer tone, then they generally get fewer replies.
Or in my case, very few replies. That's why I've tried to stop posting. Because I feel very hurt when I get few replies. I know part of that goes back to being ignored by my mum, but even knowing that hasn't made it any easier for me. The lack of response usually causes a lot more distress for me than the original issue I posted about.
That's why this poster lurks instead of posts.
