I've never met anyone from BWW. I do have real-life friends.

As do I, I would think my life rather sad if I didn't. And I rarely talk about it around my friends, unless I'm interested in a certain topic that's been posted on the off-topic boards that I want to discuss with my real friends...

No. It's just you.

I didn't realize you had any friends at all on BWW.

I'm one of CS's BWW friends. And CS, I'm a little worried about you.

I'd say I'd consider around 4 or 5 people on BWW friends, and I used to talk a lot to two other BWWers who are no longer around. Yet, I've never met them, so really I would have to have friends outside.

I'm sure there are some. Probably not the kind of people you'd want to associate with, but there you are.

Cruel, does it trouble you to not have friends outside BWW? If so, what are you actively doing to rectify the situation?

Well, there's a few people I quite fancy here and get along with, but I do have friends outside of BWW. The only time I bring up BWW [in my 'real life'] is when I read an interesting article and want to share it with my mom or one of my theatre friends.

someone likes attention, huh?

Little Fish, it seems to me that all CS *has* is this board.

I think anyone who considers a message board a main source of their *friends* is pretty sad. But then again, if they're not able to sustain friendships outside of a message board, then maybe it's better than no friends at all.

Yes, I do, but they are not nearly as entertaining as you people. And don't share as much of my interests.

[LittleFish8386]

Posted: 5/7/07 at 9:53am

If that were true, it would be sad. However, I feel that CS just does these things for the "shock" and "aww" factor. If I am mistaken, then my sincerest apologies.

Well, if he's in the same in real life in which he asks a question or brings up a topic and then just expects everyone to hash it out in front of him without him making any additional contribution, I can understand why people might not be so keen to keep him in their circle.

why do I feel like a broken record. Cruel, get off your ass, go out and meet people, instead of rotting away here.
You are in a wonderful city with wonderful people. If you need to even post something like this it shows us that you really, REALLY need to get out into the human world for awhile.

You post these (sometimes) ridiculous posts, and really you need to start living life. Suggestion, cut that hair first.

Kringas, that's exactly what I was thinking. And I completely agree with Elphaba. CS, I know that self-pity is a wondrous thing and it's so easy to get wrapped up in it completely. (Trust me, I KNOW.) But eventually you have to either say, "Stop! Enough. I'm sick of pandering to myself," or you have to off yourself. I'd prefer that you do the former because I think you're a sad person, but not a terrible person and I think you could make friends if you put a little effort into it. (Believe me, I know that it's hard.)

Honestly, PM me if I can be of help. All you have to do is reach out. I promise I will be there, but you have to find "physical" friends because this board, however much fun it is, is not really real.

For what it's worth, I don't think you should have to cut your hair to make friends.

[Elphaba]

Posted: 5/7/07 at 10:23am

nor do I Kringas, I just think he'd look a lot better with shorter hair, or at least some sort of style.

Again Kringas you put words in my mouth, as I never said "cut your hair and you'll make friends."

*edit*

I think things like bww can be a good place to meet people who share your interests, esp if you do meet them in real life.

all of my friends are outside of bww

Posted: 5/7/07 at 10:28am

very well said, Sorry!

and I totally agree with you, he's definately not a bad person, odd maybe, but that's one of the things I've always liked about him. But the self-pity party has got to stop.
I've been there, and it does nothing but alienate people.

To paraphrase Mame Dennis "Life is a banquet, go out and EAT.

There are LIVE people on campus who can help. There are people here that will listen. Help is available.

I have never been sad about putting someone on "ignore" here, but I am getting awfully close, and truly I would miss some of your posts.

um chung, what post are you reading, as the title of the post infers he has no friends outside of BWW
