Chat, check-in, and hang out

i used to use chat a lot many many years ago and most times there were approx 5 or 6 people chatting so it was a great way to get to know people, share ideas and help each other. Ive not used it for a while because a few times i went on the same group were on and kind of ignored anyone else - when i chatted i always made the effort to chat to different people and make them feel welcome ....not make them feel as though they had interrupted! So im okay chat has gone - what saddens me more is that some of the same behaviours are happening on this post with some posters being ignored and not responded to. Its unlike me to speak out like this and no doubt im gonna offend someone - I genuinely dont intend to - im just keen to ensure all are welcome and acknowledged. Rant over !

If it seems that I have ignored or not responded to anyone here I wholeheartedly apologize.

I was always inclusive and welcoming to people in chat and I do the same in this chat thread, so I don't feel guilty about ignoring anyone because I don't ignore people. At the same time, I don't feel responsible for replying to every single post.

We all get ignored by some people irl. I think it's normal sometimes. When I got ignored by my dad, it simply meant that he did not want to be disturbed. I learned that and accepted it, then went to chat with mom. She was always there for me. And so it goes. I find it hard to follow several conversations at once too, so I might end up ignoring someone here and not mean to. These thoughts are for everyone here. If I seem to be ignoring you, please forgive me. I don't mean to.

About to go to work. Hoping my day will zoom by because I’m tired and I want to sleep.

I'm sitting outside waiting for a ride. Everything is quiet. Just a slight summer breeze...

I've just had a driving lesson - started driving again after 7 years so have a few lessons to get back into the swing of things. The thing is, I feel like one of my parts took over, a part that likes to play, because I'm a nervous driver and I wasn't nervous at all. I just did big round abouts, drove at speed, all sorts that makes me nervous usually. It felt like it wasn't me. It feels like I didn't do what I just did. Very odd!

Good for you! You'll get back into it and it'll become second nature again.

Hi, guys. I could use some company. I am dissociating a bit.

Is there something in particular you want to chat about that will help?
