Is it just me?

Do you always imagine absolutely thousands of people rushing to read your posts? Whereas, in fact, when you stop to think about it, that is no more likely to happen with your posts than with anyone else's. grin

Have I got a ridiculously over-inflated online ego? Or are we all the same?

Genuinely wondering! grin

I assumed that everyone read everyones' posts if they post on a thread, or even just read a thread.
Doesnt that happen? <naive emotion>

I dont assume that everyone reads all threads <not quite that naive emotion>

Are you seriously saying that you are not all spending all day on here desperately hoping that I will post? grin

loopylou Wed 07-Jan-15 16:07:31

At least it makes sense Grannyknot when you talk to yourself!
Glad am not only one who thinks that they 'kill' threads! Had got to point of thinking I'd be banned if it happened once more.....

Must admit I do like a good debate, but other times can't be arsed. Need to adopt the "river of life" philosophy.

"bob along on the river of life", love it, will have to remember that.

Grannyknot Wed 07-Jan-15 15:25:22

I don't even think about it much. I happily bob along on the river of life, talking to myself a lot of the time anyway!

pompa Wed 07-Jan-15 15:19:52

oops, I'm on the wrong thread, not sure what this one is about, not got time to read it all.

Anne58 Wed 07-Jan-15 15:14:04

I get quite a bit of feedback on some of my threads, which is nice, but I do worry that when I post something "sensible" people are disappointed! blush

I can't spend all my time falling into wheelie bins and having problems with underwear!

glassortwo Wed 07-Jan-15 15:13:34

Did somebody say something? grin

POGS Wed 07-Jan-15 15:13:29

I don't particularly worry about who reads my posts or not.

It's just good to have the chance to air my opinions.

Having said that I guess it is more enjoyable if others respond, even if it's only to argue. smile

Truly thought that was me Stansgran My name has appeared in the last day page as the last poster so many times. I feel in controversial threads I should post and there would be no need to delete it.

Stansgran Wed 07-Jan-15 14:47:40

I know I kill threads. I think there ought to be an award for killing more than three threads. I always read Janeainsworth and Kittylester as they are so sensible and I read Galen on cruises. I try not to read any headed depression because that way madness lies(in my own case). And I have a sort of voyeur habit when it comes to hip and knee threads.

Crafting Wed 07-Jan-15 14:46:43

Sorry, not sure that came out quite as I meant it blush. I meant because your replies are witty.

Glammanan, whitewave, coolgran 65, anya read all yours. A little ear scratch for you too gagagran grin

Crafting Wed 07-Jan-15 14:39:13

I don't normally expect anyone to respond to mine. I think if you are funny, contentious or say outrageous things then perhaps you get more response.

I doubt if anyone ignores your posts jings! Or your's Galen grin

soontobe Wed 07-Jan-15 14:39:11

Absolutely agree Galen, vegasmags, AnyaCoolgran and Gagagran, jingl and whitewave grin!

I absolutely dont agree! I dont seem to be ignored at all.
I seem to come across as controversial.

When really I am very nice smile!

vegasmags. I was starting to notice that you are at the end of some threads. But if you ask me, that is becuase people agree with you, so there is nothing to add.

vegasmags Wed 07-Jan-15 14:33:15

Anya grin

loopylou Wed 07-Jan-15 14:30:55

Oops gammanana, didn't mean to leave you out! Am sure I often write with invisible ink, as someone commented on another thread smile!

loopylou Wed 07-Jan-15 14:29:03

Absolutely agree Galen, vegasmags, AnyaCoolgran and Gagagran, jingl and whitewave grin!

Anya Wed 07-Jan-15 14:25:08

Galen I always read your posts but never heard of vegasmags before. Is she new? If so 'welcome' wink

vegasmags Wed 07-Jan-15 14:19:34

I went through a phase of thinking I must be some kind of thread killer, because it seemed that whenever I posted the thread died a death grin

Galen Wed 07-Jan-15 14:19:03

Quite!
And I bet no ones read this!sad

Anya Wed 07-Jan-15 14:14:34

That's why we need a LIKE button Gaga to make us wag our tails and roll over to have our tummies tickled.

Gagagran Wed 07-Jan-15 14:10:04

I wag my tail if someone responds to my posts - just need my ears scratching and my back patting and I'm anybody's. Figuratively speaking of course ! blush

Anya Wed 07-Jan-15 14:04:50

My posts are generally ignored. I often feel like shouting 'I said that two pages ago' but ..what the heck. I get really excited when someone replies to me grin isn't that sad?

Sometimes feel that I ought to actively disagree or be more contentious just to get noticed once in a while wink

Coolgran65 Wed 07-Jan-15 13:54:01

Same here smile
