Do you ever see a thread with an interesting title, and you want to interact with it, but when you click on it, it's just walls of text?

[Un-]

And then you try skim-read it but you don't understand it because there's so much context that you're skipping over, and you say "nevermind" (and just leave a like/bookmark it and gaslight yourself into thinking you'll read it later, but you know you never do)? Is that just me?

 

[Rounded Apathy]

If people don't know how to make paragraphs and use punctuation, I abandon the effort completely and don't feel any love lost. You were the first person to reply to my first (six-thousand word) post @Un-, where you said you don't usually stick it out through such content - I think you must be in the same boat as me. Lengthy posts are one thing, unskilled writing is another!

I really do try read everyone's posts, but goddamm, sometimes they're novels.

But, yeah, I did it because you were new and no one else said anything. I'd rather suck up my laziness if the person in question isn't getting any attention. Everyone needs attention.

Haha, well that is very kind of you, but now I wonder - are you downplaying your true reaction then, or were you just being nice when you said: "PS. I have severe depression that makes it unbearable to do anything, but your writing is so damn good that I genuinely was hooked. Consider writing a book or something."?

Oh, I wasn't lying. Your writing is good. I didn't expect it to be. So I was pleasantly surprised heh.

 

[Message In A Bottle]

Yeah…all the time. I have little to no energy as it is, let alone to have to read that much - erm…no offense to anyone.

If I was better mentally, wiser, and had more to offer when it comes to discussion, I'd probably be typing long essays along with you all.

 

[Tiny Little Tree]

I usually try to read everything I come across. My problem is on the writing side... It's harder than it was before to put my thoughts into the right words sometimes (and it's not for any obvious reason). Sometimes I'll try to write something on and off for hours while I do something else then delete it all and move on.

 

[achromatic]

It happens to me because I have scrambled eggs instead of brain but tbh I have more problem with writing something coherent and even if I do, I'm then scared that it was somehow offensive or not factual. You sounded really sweet @Un- with responding if no one had
I prefer my answers buried under other users

There's nothing really particularly interesting on this site, apart from finding out about suicide methods. I mean life itself could never be interesting in any way. I have no wish or desire to interact, I barely relate to anything on here but yet I often force myself to write things. Writing is pointless and doesn't achieve anything, especially on here.

But yes everything comes across as 'walls of text' to me, I struggle to concentrate and I find everything to be tiring. It's tiring especially when people on here troll and make a joke out of serious threads. A lot of people struggle with concentration when reading, it's a serious issue not a joke. It can mean that people struggle to function and can make life harder for them.

"If you keep building these walls / Brick by brick towers so tall / Soon I won't see you at all..." Walling often obscures something or other rather than elucidating; perhaps a poor foundation or a core bias. It can be a process of beating the reader's opinion into submission through sheer weight of repetitive points or simply scaring them off (with a positive slant to the thesis) ie "this person has really put a lot of thought and energy into this, it must be better reasoned or more legitimate". I'm not saying that it always works, but as a tactic in persuasion it can be effective. In contrast, economy is honest. You agree or you don't. It imparts new knowledge or it doesn't. There's no space in between the words to fall into. These are huge generalisations of course, some knotty topics require essays. But it feels like a lot of the time big posts just have diminishing returns to scale or are outright, albeit unintentionally, dishonest. Anyway I was intending on making this proper wall length like a smartass but can't be arsed really and you get the basic point. Come with the 6000+ thesis rebutting it, that's my kink. Also if these walls could talk, they might have something to say, but talking is about getting ppl to listen too and who has time for that. Go read all my posts as homework.

Hi Maudlin you get it

 

[Dead Ghost]

I go for days, and sometimes for seasons. Sometimes I find it very easy to read and also write my personal stories. But others are impossible, both to read and to write to them.

More than once I have tried to answer in a thread and I have not been able to do it and other times I misinterpret both what is said and the context and my answer does not make any sense or is out of place (and I it makes me angry because I think other people think I've had no interest in reading things properly when I really haven't, then I try to fix it by screwing up links to information right and wrong because I can't find any reasonable way to 'explain to me... I get very nervous).

By the way, it's been two days since I've been surprised because I'm reading a magazine I bought in 2018 and it's holding up well so far.... I shouldn't have waited 4 years to read it but I'm fine now.

//

Jo va a dies, i de vegades per temporades. Algunes vegades em resulta molt fàcil llegir i també escriure les meves històries personals. Però d'altres és impossible, tant llegir-les com escriure-le's.

Mes d'una vegada he intentat respondre en un fil i no he sabut fer-ho i d'altres vegades interpreto malament tant el que es diu com el context i la meva resposta no te pas cap sentit o està fora de lloc (i em fa ràbia perquè penso que els altres es creuen que no he tingut cap interés en llegir-me bé les coses quan realment no és pas així, llavors intento arreglar-ho fotent enllaços d'informació a tort i a dret perquè no trobo cap manera raonable d'explicar-me... em poso molt nerviós).

Per cert, ja fa dos dies que estic sorprés perquè estic llegint una revista que vaig comprar el 2018 i de moment aguanto bé.... no m'hauria d'haver esperat 4 anys en llegir-la però ja m'està bé.

 

[hungry_ghost]

Yeah, and my brain just tunes it out because I don't have the focus or energy to read all of it.

The second largest answer on this thread so you are obviously right, would agree more but it's under 1500 words so I can't

Hi Maudlin you get it

Sure do!
