It’s so quiet

[Nymph]

I miss so many people. :(

Me too buddy:(

How many users have we lost in the past two or three months? Whether they passed on, were banned, or self-banned? It's the nature of the beast, but I guess it's been hitting hard these past few weeks...

I think people are a bit skittish from all the outside attention like others have mentioned as well as members leaving for various reasons. But definitely a bit more slow lately.

 

[Nymph]

Yeah it's the combination of all those things:( gotta have some time to grieve and sort all the things in our minds

So ironic how so many can be so alone together. This modern world is so bizarre.

That's literally 2020s motto. Alone Together. And supposedly that sounds happy.

I'm the only one viewing this thread *sigh* now even the thread about how quiet it is, is too quiet.

I think its probably because its Christmas and its so difficult and depressing for a lot of SS users .
It can make us go quiet ,even on here.
I know I'm struggling.

Yet most of the people who had a social life before this will go right back to doing their thing and not giving a shit about those who have no one. Only when it effects them I guess

You joined on my birthday, Kuri. Joke aside, I've lost my marks here.
Regular members aren't so regular anymore, I don't receive PMs anymore, and I don't feel that I'm useful to anyone on this forum.

Then focus on being useful to yourself. Don't forget your own recovery when you help other people.

This, just for the start of the song. Anyone who starts a song like this gets my vote...

I feel like that sometimes. Like I'm actually doing more damage than good. I have times when no one contacts me and no one I talk to is on. It passes. I hope it passes for you too.

I've always loved that song! And Wendy James.

I've spent the past few minutes thinking about her. She cudda come round my gaf and screamed at me any day.

I certainly second that! Just one question: what the hell is a "gaf"?

Sorry, I think I missed an f. Gaff. Pad, crib, joint, house etc. Irish slang, also used in England and Scotland. LOL I think you'll like that, it's a commonly used term.

Edit: it's sooooo quiet now (bar the background drama) I'm just going to spend my time with Wendy I think.

Never heard "gaff" used like that. I'll remember that one. Thanks!

Just contemplating the silence, but I'm still here.

 

[KuriGohan&Kamehameha]

The silence is kinda eerie sometimes. Whenever people left the subreddit it got all quiet too. Anyone remember GONENEWYEARSEVE2018? I always saw their posts on the original reddit then suddenly they were gone.

Indeed. Silence is when we are left alone with our mind, on the edge of the abyss.

I've noticed many quality posts from you.

In a format like this, one never knows exactly to whom they are providing usefulness. Some are too shy to directly acknowledge usefulness, and many are non member lurkers, who will never have the opportunity to acknowledge usefulness.

'Landslide of love' and 'The only one' were also good songs by 'Transvision Vamp' .Those songs are also worth watching/listening to on You Tube.
She was great and they were a good band.
Give those other songs a try too.

The key word in your response is "most". There are plenty of huge givers on this forum, and if you look hard enough you will find them IRL, as well.
