I'm sad

[almamee]

It feels nobody really talks to me here and I'm just 13. Whenever I post a reply nobody posts one after mine I just very I don't want to not be a member of Pet Talk because I love the conversations but I'm not in any of them. Well please someone knows how I feel.

I'm sorry you feel left out. I try my best not to let anyone feel ignored, but I'm very busy these days and haven't had much time to post on PT as much as I usually do. Its the end of the school year for many, so a lot of us are busy with finals, etc. I remember feeling ignored when I was new here too. Stick around, and keep posting. Once people get to know you, I'm sure things will change. Please don't feel that way. I'm sure no one here wants to ignore you, or anyone else.

Don't feel sad, sweetie! The best thing to do is keep posting, and reply to loads of other threads - you will soon feel right at home!

Also sometimes some areas of the board get quiet for a couple of days - hardly any new threads are started, so once people have replied to the existing threads, nothing happens!! Also due to different time zones it sometimes takes a while for people to see yout thread any reply. I am in the Middle East, so sometimes when I post it is the middle of the night in some parts of the uSA!!!

I have children your age, and it would make me very sad if they were feeling left out. But AGE is not the important thing here - we are all here because we love animals. Some of my best friends on this site are young enough to be my kids, and we have great fun PMíng each other.

Just keep chatting away, and you can always PM me if you like!

Yes, Alma...I agree with the others. Just keep posting. Soon you will find that others will start posting and talking to you. sometimes it just takes a bit of time. I know I am one who doesn't always post as much as I should. I get busy and don't always have time. I do always try to stop in and see what is going on here at Pet Talk. I'm also trying to be better about posting to other peoples threads. Please don't feel ignored it will all happen in time. Just hang in there!

Hi almamee and welcome to Pet Talk! I'm sorry you have been feeling left out . I'm sure it wasn't at all intentional, there are a lot of very kind and caring people here! I think the advice others have given is good.

You see, I think a lot of people have a tendency to talk more to people they have come to know and not say as much when they don't know someone as well. I have caught myself doing that and I try not to because it makes the newer person feel left out and alone! I think the best way to get over that is to post lots and lots and after awhile people start feeling like they know you and they start replying more!

I know it took awhile when I was newer before I started getting more response to my posts. You might notice that the people who have the most posts under their name tend to get the most responses too. Just keep posting!

Just keep posting!

Alma, you need to visit all the different sections and start responding to other people's posts, too. You'll have friends here in no time.

Hello. I feel the same way sometimes whenever I post a thread it gets pushed to the bottom with only like 2 replies or when I reply to a thread no one post after me. I am the thread killer (Muawh Muawh Muawh) Anyway, just keep posting, ALOT...it gets better. Any thread you open rember, I need to post. Even if it's just you saying Aww to cute pictures. People LOVE it when you compliment there animals, it's a quick and easy way to make friends. Also, join in on the game threads, most people in those threads are friends so try to get friends with them (see I have all these weird ways no one knew I had) Just keep posting and repling and I promise (or your money back) that you WILL have TONS of freinds here soon!

Post post post!!! Pictures are always a hit oh and yes, ooo's and ahhh's and other pets are always appreciated!! Not hard to do with all the cute ones we have here!!!

[slleipnir]

Don't feel sad. I'm probably the most ignored person on PT lol. Just keep posting, people aren't ignoring you. They read but maybe just don't have the time to reply

[almamee]
