Question

April 25, 2011 - 2:21am — Alphafrost

Okay, just a smal question;

Why are some people on the fringe? I mean, I have been here a year and no one has truly said hello, ohhey, ect. to me when I appear, even though I am trying to be active in the community again. No one notices. Are my efforts in vain? Does no one like me? What? What makes you drawn to silence when you see my posts?

Now, another question. Who are the fringy people who do a lot of hard work and never get noticed? Why?

Summarizing;

Why aren't people acknowledging the people who try to not be fringy? And why? What appeals to you about another person?

This isn't meant to be rude/harsh, I am simply curious. If there are any rude words, this can/will be deleted.

I tend to let people come to

I tend to let people come to me, I have a habit of inadvertently making people dislike me due to my blunt way of speaking on the comm site, so instead of approaching someone and finding out that they hate me, as has happened before, I cut myself off and let others choose if I'm worth their time or not.
I'm on the fringe for everyone else's benefit, not my own.

I'm on the fringe everywhere-

I'm on the fringe everywhere- I want a change, but there is none coming my way. I struggle everywhere - Being antisocial to the point of crying if a stranger comes up to me and says hello. Yeah. Trying my best on the Com site isn't doing me any good these days. But I'll keep trying.

To objectively answer your

To objectively answer your question (or one of them, at least), in a community as big as this one and with so many new members and content every day it is hard to keep up with everybody, especially if you don't speak to them in a regular manner. You could ask the same question as "why does not everybody in this town notice I just returned from vacations"

I apologize then. If it's any

I apologize then. If it's any justification, english isn't my native language and I don't understand the phrase "on the fringe", google didn't help much so I just reverted to "I have been here a year and no one has truly said hello, ohhey, ect. to me when I appear".

Now that you've made yourself

Now that you've made yourself known like this I will keep my eye out for your posts.
I think we get familiar with some people and don't always have time to get to know everyone, so when checking the site we go for the people we know first and only look at other blogs if we have the time.

Some things that seem to draw attention (you may already do these things, I just thought I'd list all I could think of):
-posting on other people's blogs
-making a variety of posts (not just only images or poetry or funny blogs)
-posting things that encourage or require community participation
-asking questions
-making gifts
-posting about friends or acquaintances (screenshots or some other acknowledgement)
-sharing resources for community use or interesting things that seem associated with TEF

Generally I find the more that you give to others, the more people will notice and be happy to see you. It also gives you the chance to give to those on the fringe. And then the fringe starts to disappear.

I don't have much advice for you, but I've always appreciated your comments on my posts.
