im a proffessional lurker and 9/10 times i just find it hard to join in on a convo based on what topics are being discussed and what vibes they give if that makes sense

im not a shy person BUT i am a nervous one and just want to fit in, so instead of putting myself in a awkward situation i’ll just not write anything and only lurk because the ”fear” of no one responding to what im writing

when it comes to buying and selling threads im not nervous at all cause there’s barely a convo going
this is my stance as well. i have severe social anxiety, adhd, and quite possibly autistic so i worry my comments won't come across the right way and i feel as though i intrude in conversations. the other thing is i am located in a time zone when the majority of the userbase here is asleep, so i kinda miss out on a lot of the convos that happen here anyway.

and tbh i also kinda just like reading the conversations ppl have, it's like reading the morning newspaper lol. 
ITS LIKE READING THE NEWSPAPER

That is such a hot take. That's really funny XD

I used to lurk a lot, but I've been trying to be more social nowadays. I think the best way that I've done this is through creating random chat threads, which mostly failed at first, I'll be honest. But the more that i've replied to other random chats, and followed through, the more i've felt more social. So kept making random threads to talk in. Not every thread is going to get super popular and energetic, but some you can have a few little convos in, which is fun!

i like to read convos but i usually don't respond bc i feel like people stop talking when i do (oof). i do like collecting a lot but it is pretty hard to earn credits to buy the nicer items...i love dressing up my avatar mostly so that's why i keep playing lol.

Valid! What do you feel like would have fit best for you then?
I spend most of my time on VP with team related stuff, playing around with codes for frontpage articles and stuff
Ya know i almost included team related work as an answer for what you mostly do,,,
Yeah
Though honestly I'd love for socializing to be the thing I did most. It used to be but, that's gotta be a handful of years ago

Tbh I think for me it has a lot to do with my personality? I'm not a very social person irl like, I barely communicate with anyone outside my family and even then it's only when necessary (I hate texting with a passion) so it's not a thing of intimidation, though I can understand why people might find it hard to fit in. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it has nothing to do with the people, I just have a shitty personality and am only here for dressing up (and I usually slay if I do say so myself lol)

idk if i am a lurker? i dont lurk in threads without responding to them, i kinda just log in, play some games, check if there is anything new on the front forum page like events etc that call to me, but then leave again.

i was a bit more active when i joined, but life happened and i just ended up having less time. my activity and participation then was also not the greatest, so i never found any 'closure' with any other players or groups that would motivate me to continue being active. really nice people on here tho!! the ones i've had the chance to talk to have all been very sweet

ig for me, i would need to put in more effort in being more active. the forum games are amazing, always love those, am sad that i have missed the last few ones 

but yea i agree on points mentioned in this forum, personally i find it difficult to join in on ongoing conversations as it feels like i am forcing myself in lmao, more niche/specific forums tend to be easier :)
