What does it take to get "admired" on Pet Talk?

I always see those threads where people talk about who they really care for, who they admire, who they like, etc, etc.......
talk about feeling left out!
I guess maybe I don't talk as much as others or maybe I would have some friends on here too. (Maybe I'm trying TOO HARD)
I've tried to write posts to get people to talk to me & write to others as much as I can!
I feel that I've been here long enough to know if I would find friends on here or not & so far I don't feel successful at it.
I rarely get pm'd, only if necessary.
I feel that a lot of my words go unnoticed & it hurts.
I think maybe I will need to find a different outlet.
Thank you to those who have helped me through hard times......Jazzcat, Slick, Carole, & others.
I just feel sad tonight, too much to deal with.
I was surprised to see myself even mentioned once! But, really, though, you can't allow things like this on a chat room to affect you. It's not worth it. I care about what people think about me to an extent in real life. I don't care two cents what people think about me in a chat room. But, yeah, someone's feelings are always hurt with threads like these. I don't understand why, but, it always happens. But, I know if you don't post a lot or do a lot of rescue or foster or post a lot of pictures, you tend to get overlooked. but, it's ok! Don't let it bother you. I know for me, I swear if I post on a thread, it's like an instant death stamp on that thread. Ha ha, it's like pulling teeth to get anyone to reply to me, but, it's like water off a duck's back. It means absolutely nothing if someone doesn't respond or have anything to say, it's not a reflection on the poster in any way, don't forget that! Anyway, I hope you don't really let this bother you for too long. Smiles are too few and far between these days! There's one for you!

and, check this out...you've only posted just over 450 times (not that's a small number, but, you're still pretty new!). i've posted over 2000 times and never get picked! You just gotta try not to let irrelavant, unimportant things like that get to you....I can't claim to know you or say that I consider you a friend. But, I will say that I'm a good listener, if you just wanna vent via pm or whatever. And, I don't like to think of anyone being sad, so, again...SMILE!
