Please read my blog

[Seana30]

For those of you that have not read my blog..............

Something happened the other day to make me realize that I jumped to conclusions, and should not have said I was leaving the site.

I apoligize (sp) to you all for causing a ruckus the other day. You all are my support system, and I feel that you are my extended family, and as all families do we will fight every once in awhile.

[thelizardqueen]

[Scarlett81]

Glad to read this!

Well of course it's good to have you stay. What always makes me giggle though (and i've been on many forums that cover everything), noone will care in the end if you, myself, or anyone else "leaves". Realize that while we all contribute, and some have contributed tons and have had real impact on other CF's lives, life goes on with or without us still visiting forums. Aside from that, how on earth can what happened make you think you need to leave? I know we are all different, but *****...The world, and the internet is not covered in nerf to make all things pleasant. People will and will not get along, and people will lash out.


Sorry Seana i'm not targeting you per say, i'm just commenting on people who, when some stupidity arises, does the whole "OMG I CAN'T TAKE THIS, I'M LEAVING"...Like anyone will care if anyone leaves past a general cursory level. Trust me, regardless who we are talking about, noone cares.

 

[Seana30]

I have to disagree Sean.

You would be shocked at how many people e-mailed me and said they would miss me and that my opinions mean something to them.

I am not saying that two months down the road people would be saying "GOD I MISS SEANA, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER" but I think you don't realize how much people take your ideas and thoughts into consideration.

It's polite drama oriented discussion. It's similar to when you or someone else gives another pleasantries in public, conversation wise. As in "Have a good day", or "How ya doin?" While you pass by someone. Noone cares if they are having a good day on a personal level (aside from not wanting to see others deal with crap in general due to being another human), it's just something nice to say, given the right situation. If people are seriously that dependent on your opinions, or mine or anyone elses, they have problems they need to work out on their own in my opinion. I have had many people tell me that they valued whatever advice/opinion I gave them on any subject, in real life, and on the internet, and maybe my influence helped them out or maybe it didn't. But I know that me saying something as obvious as "Ya know Dave, you should take more B vitamins if you are always tired", and they do so, and then give me credit for their renewed energy, they were pretty clueless in the first place. Even something obscure, if someone is in their own quandry, they should have already looked for possible solutions on their own, and only asking others for advice on a reenforcing level. Like "Hey guys i'm thinking about doing (fill in the blank), what do you guys think?". That person has pretty much already made their mind up on doing something, and is only looking for a digital version of social reenforcement.


My overall point? Sorry to bust your bubble, but noone cares...If it makes you or others feel better to think otherwise, then knock yourself out, but as a whole, regardless what we are talking about, and as long as humans are the ones being discussed, noone cares...We are simply way too self absorbed, and there's simply way too many of us.

Actually, I have to disagree. There are people on here that I would miss dearly if they were to leave, not just being polite. ANd I like to think there are people who would miss me.

 

[thelizardqueen]

Sean - that may be your opinion, but its not the case for all. I don't think you're bursting Seana's bubble at all, because again she has a difference of opinion then yours. I mean I disagree with you. I value each opinion or advice that Seana has to give, and was actually saddened that she thought one person could dictate whether she would stay or not. I wouls actually be pretty saddened if a lot of people on here left. I've come to connect with people on here - even if it isn't physical and is through the internet.

 

[Faust]

Oh I get your points, i'm just saying that while our presence might have a short term influence on others on here, in the big picture, we won't be missed if we leave the forum or if we die. Of course if any of us flat out die by any means, there will be others saying "Man I so miss (fill in the blank), I liked them so much, I miss them" and all that stuff. I mean, I talked to that Eric Baumgartnen(sp) guy all of maybe twice, he has been dead maybe a month or two, but I obviously think of him from time to time. That time to time, will change to maybe once every few months, and then move onto not remember him at all. It's just how life is. Life continues, till our own life ends, then everyone elses life continues. People on here, are just a digital representation of what they want to say and generally express. My retarded presence might slightly be missed for the first week or two due to me making some people laugh and maybe the oregano oil thing, but trust me, i'm meaningless as a whole, in the grand scheme, just like everyone else.

[Scarlett81]

that was funny Seana-

SD-maybe you should just say-"I don't care". B/c alot of people did care about seana's "leaving" situation, and others that have talked about leaving.
True-people are inheritly selfish beings and most wouldn't have cried every day for months. BUT-people do care.

Maybe u haven't had enough love and hugs in your life?<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

 

[Emily65Roses]

I know, that <u><b>if</b></u> no one else, I'd miss Allie. Course I also talk to her a lot outside of the forum, so I don't know if that counts?

 

[julie]

Seana,

You woudn't be the first to say that, and I guarantee you that you won't be the last-no need to apologize, you were just sharing what was on your mind, no crime there. Sometimes when you feel overwhelmed with this site (and it happens-to nearly everyone) sometimes you just want to leave... but then this is one of the only sites where you can come ask questions/share concerns and people can help. It's a b*Tch sometimes <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I think it's just each person's opinion as to whether or not they'd miss people. I know there are a handful I would REALLY REALLY miss if they left, Seana included. In the same token, there are people I would not at all miss if they left this site, and I wouldn't tell them, "don't leave, you'll be missed" just to be polite. I don't BS like that and I don't know many on this site who would say that... they just wouldn't post anything at all to the person.

I also think it has to do with WHY you are here on this site, what YOU contribute and what you LEARN and GROW with from others, the relationships that you make which blossom outside of this site (even if it's just an occasional "hello" via email or PM) and how much you support someone when they are down and just need someone to say they hear them.

Glad you are sticking around. No dobut it will get tough again sometime in the future, it always does... but now you know how you really feel about leaving <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

 

[Seana30]

Sean,

I NEVER say how ya doing unless I mean it. What has happened in your life that you are so skeptical that people really care???

I know there are MANY people here I would truly miss, and not forget. Example........if Allie never came back on this site I know she is someone that has made an impression on me and I would think of her, Ry, and Ahava quite often.

Another example is Allan. I think of him and his family often.

I don't think we are fighting Amy. I think many are shocked at how Sean feels. I personally would hate to go through life thinking no one cares for me.

TAKE CARE

Seana

 

[teknogeek1300]

Waffles. I love waffles, and cake [/frosting]

If Sean leavs I'll ball my little eyes out. I havn't read all the long and sappy stories/post's, but I can understand why people would be sad if you left. Can't say that about all individuals, but most.

Are we really fighting about whether or not we would miss each other?</end quote></div>


Retardedly (used in place of regrettably), yes we are.


I think my fellow lungers (and non lungers) are missing my overall point. I didn't mean that if someone amongst our group died, that we wouldn't miss them. Sorry to break your bubble, but i'm not heartless. We would miss whoever in that situation. My point is, that those who's idea of contributing consists of "Well good luck", or "I wish you the best", due to the sheer number of those who say such things, when they stop visiting the forum for any reason, won't be missed. Sure someone might say "Hey where is so and so, haven't seen em post in a while", and probably be concerned due to our disease and death, but true meaningful contribution is directly proportionate with how much those around us notice us, and "care".


oh fug it, theres no point. Lets all sit together and care.

I am so glad you stayed! I was bummed out you left when I had just joined--was looking forward to some of your witty barbs! It kinda freaked me out to see how bent out of shape people can get around here. People take things to personally it seems. . . please keep on typeing with your tongue in cheek!
