Like your typing to your computer. You don't know who you're really talking to. For me, it's easy to feel like you've lost the connection you've had with people on PB. Perhaps it's because this is a website, perhaps because I'm not good at making friends or being social. The only real relationship I have right now is with my boyfriend and one girl I've known since high school. We (me and the girl) don't talk very often though and sometimes my boyf. is busy. I guess I am just craving attention or intimacy or a good conversation. I don't know if that's normal. There are a few productive things I could be doing right now. But I choose PB. I'm sorry if I'm some kind of freak harrassing babblers in this thread. I don't mean to be. Am I a freak? I don't go out to meet people yet I'm finding myself here all the time. OK I think I'm done now. Maybe I'll write more later. Bye.

no way are you a freak. And no way are you harrassing anyone. You're just like the rest of us here and even tho you may not feel like it yet, you come across like you ARE just another Babbler. Because we don't have any preconceptions about one another via physicalities everyone is pretty much equal in Babbleland.
I'm glad you're here.

For me Babble is like talking to myself (or typing to myself), only there are people reading who say, "me, too" or "oh, no", or "call the doctor NOW". I don't post expecting replies, though I hope for them. Sometimes I just type and it helps to get the words out of my head and on to the screen. You see that a lot. Someone will post about what a horrible time they are having, and by the end of the post, they say they are already feeling better.
There are those who can keep threads going for days. There are threads that inspire enormous responses (not always favourable ones). And there are threads that sound like one hand clapping... I've had those, too.
Angel Girl - I think you are doing fine here. I read and appreciate your posts.

Angela, you seem to be doing ok to me. I have yet to find anything offensive or weird or harrassing in your posts.
You're ok, as far as I'm concerned. Not a freak by any means.
Hugs

I guess it’s just the way that I feel sometimes.And no way are you harrassing anyone. You're just like the rest of us here and even tho you may not feel like it yet, you come across like you ARE just another Babbler. Because we don't have any preconceptions about one another via physicalities everyone is pretty much equal in Babbleland.

LOL. Too funny PC. (Although I know you're serious and I'm not mocking you out).

Thank you for sharing how you experience PB with me.

I like you too Fallen! I don't think I could leave PB for good. Atleast not right now. It's a somewhat large piece of my life.

Sorry for being so obtuse - my cognitive skills have not yet returned to their nest in my head. I was "thinking* Angela2 and my fingers typed AG.
Glad you got the message, tho.
