Could I have some feedback?

 

 

I know I don’t share the same sense of humour.

I realise I’m probably too wordy and serious.

 

But do I really put everyone off so much that no one here wishes to share a conversation with me?

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

I’m feeling a bit down.

Am chooffing off now, because everything here seems so slow and sparse,

to do the equivalent of eating worms for a few hours.

    I don't have a problem.  I don't know what you're talking about. Now, since I was straight with you, let's exchange houses.

    Dear I don't know that you are doing anything wrong - please don't be so hard on yourself.  There are not a lot of people on this site - as you observe slow and sparse - and perhaps they have their own axes to grind. I would be happy to have a private conversation with you if you don't mind talking to someone of middle age.  Like you I tend to be serious or lets say earnest! And I tend not to have the kind of sense of humor that often seems to pass for amusing on here.  Please don't feel down.

  • I certainly don't mind. I'm middle-aged too - 61.

    You are not doing anything wrong. The site is slow sometimes especially for more serious topics...unless you go to politics.

  • meh..  I wouldn't pay much mind to what people on a website think of you. I've never seen one of your posts before this ..  but I talk to anyone posts on my questions. I'm pretty sure most people here think I'm Nutz..... it doesn't really matter:) I'm sure you'll find your way here,  if choose to stay.

  • I tried to find your posts to offer responses, but your profile says it's private.
    That must be a new function since last year.
    I've been away from aM for a while. Quite few things seem different since I got back.

    I'm never sure what Nutz means - probably something different for everyone - maybe all of us are Nutz in different ways.
    Maybe it's just plain human to be a bit nutty.
    But then, nuts can be quite delicious.

  • Thanks.
    I'm still hopeful the mood won't set in like climate change.
    I will be patient.

    Not sure what you mean. You're a lovely conversationalist. Could just be the timing.
    *hugs*

  • Thank you, JA, very much. :)
    Maybe it is the timing - the roughly ten-hour time gap.
    I'm not sure if this down thing is just a transient mood or the start of a depression.
    I'm trying to fight off the negative thoughts and be patient - to wait and see if it passes.
    Thanks for the *hugs*.
    Amazing how one can actually feel it all the way on the other side of the world just from a thought.
    If we lived nearby, I'd hug you back and invite you to a well-brewed coffee.

    I don't generally talk to you because you get into discussions about America and I don't talk to foreigners about American politics.  I've said that on here a few times.  If the discussion is about movies or books or how to grow tomatoes, you might hear from me.  


    Good bye.

  • OK
    Thank you for your honest feedback.

    In Australia, at least 5% of every news broadcast reports the biggest news in the USA.
    Many of the public discussions and debates with professors of politics from around the world discuss their views on the latest of American events, debates, legislation and most powerful people.
    This is because we are close allies via the ANZUS treaty, via our satellites and observatories, and through trade and cultural exchange.
    What happens in America has powerful repercussions for all of us, even though we are powerless to have any effect on what affects us.

    I do grow vegies, and an orchard, and spend a lot of time on property maintenance.
    I read a lot, mostly Pulitzer, Nobel, Booker novels, or poetry.
    I enjoy slightly off-beat films; directors like Ingmar Bergman, actors like Gérard Depardieu, themes about human nature and its quirks.

    The glimpses of you that I see in the Q&A I like and respect.
