Sometimes I genuinely make mistakes for e.g in advice I give or the way I word it, sometimes I genuinely need attention and do have on here for it at times as I think there are people on here going through similar things to me and will understand, sometimes I genuinely think wtf at what I have posted or sometimes others postings.
In some ways its easier to let things out on here and other forums etc but then (unless you go on and edit it) its there for many to read and interpret as they see it!
There's nowt as queer as folk as they say and all sorts of people show their personalities or ones they are possibly pretending is theirs on here as in real life!
I worked with a lady once who told us all her son was in a coma and then he died and we were all very sympathetic and gave cards etc etc and then when she told us it had been a mistake and he was alive alarm bells started ringing and there had been so much she had told us that wasn't true and her son hadn't even been ill! I hope she got the help she needed because obviously she was not well!
I think we have to try and be ourselves, use our instincts on others and again like in life some of us will get on and agree or agree to disagree or not. I love this forum and it has been a huge help to me and I hope it will continue to be

wow Id never thought that. I guess im just too trusting that ppl are who they say they are. Its bit me on the ass before though and probably will again. But im not suspicious generally.

Back to basics!
Its a shame a small few people spoil it for others, I have read some posts that are asking for advise and then are quite rude when they get a answer they didn't want!! One was the fish pedecure post and the poster was quite rude to someone giving there opinion!! NO NEED!! But i do like to think i am as genuine as they come!! I were my heart on my sleeve maybe too much!!:479:

Got it in one Minxie (as always)
I must admit to frequenting lots of different forums relating to differet hobbies. This one is a very "positive" one. Sometimes it can be a bit "too nicey, nicey".
However, I try to bite my tongue, because even though sometimes things need to be said, it is awful if your post actually upsets someone.
As a bloke, I think I'm fairly upbeat, easy-going etc. but I genuinely am a people person, and I love to encourage others on here.
But every now and again.....
Lets put it this way. There should be an amnesty day, where you can post what you want without incrimination lol.
Besides, most of the fake people are from the northeast of England that's how you tell and can never trust them!

agreed...you can't help but read this post and hope that you've done nothing to offend anyone.
my weight is my weight. i'm bigger than some, less than others. but we're all unhappy with the weight that we are at the moment, and there will always be people that look at others and think "what are you moaning for...I'd love to be your size."
the point is, a lot of people come here because they are unhappy with the weight they are and want to do something about it. they may not be able to make group, they might not want to go, they might be scared to go to group or they might not be able to afford it.
someone mentioned we're all attentions seekers. that's absolutely right!!!! we're here because we need attention, support, help. From people that understand.
I feel really cheeky when I post asking about a syn value - there are people out there paying and I'm not (although I used to and I used to help with syn values for people). I still feel awful though, but that's just how this forum works.
However we use it, it should be a safe, virtual, environment where we can let off steam, ask for help and feel a little less alone.

bye bye baby tummy
Well all I can think is... why would anyone wanna pretend to be fat lol...
I might just pretend to be skinny for a while... might work till i have to put my fat clothes on lol
and im also now sooooooooooooo soo sooo curious as to what the posts are thats triggered this
I actually didn't think oh is this about me? which is quite strange i help run a different type of forum and i think if this had of come up on there i might of been paranoid but I dont think ive posted anything stupid lol and I know that i dont come across odd (I hope lol)

I would just like to defend myself here! I was the 'rude' person on the fish pedicure post-and I'm as genuine as they come! If this person took the time to read the rest of my replies tho that thread they would see I actually apologised for any offence taken-as it wasn't meant-I also explained that the problem with internet forums is that the communication is text based so there is no way to judge emotion etc-which is something that alot of people should bear in mind a little more often! Also to add I even PMd the person who took the hump to apologise directly! But hey ho-you can't seem to do right for doing wrong sometimes!!!

Rant begin!
If people respond to my posts with hopeless info I just ignore them.
For example someone was requesting how to get a product and I advised them, their excuse however was too far to walk or I need 2 buses.....well change your lifestyle.
There are also too many people on here who just "don't get it" ie asking how many takeaways they can have or how much cake they can have. Why bother posting with that attitude.
Rant over!
