Does anyone else
 

ever feel awkward on new sites? Like you can't just go into a thread because everyone knows everyone and you'll look weird?

We are a very friendly site we love to talk with new people. So your always welcome to join any of the threads I talk in.

I know when I first started here I was always afraid to come, say... "barging in" on a conversation. I eventually realized that I'd never get Aurum if I never talked though, so I just, well, started talking. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...but hey feel free to visit any of my threads :3 Well, maybe not Seven Deadly Sins anymore. :p

Thank you (: I was trying to find one to talk in and everyone was already in conversation. So I was like, oh, this is awkward. xD

Step 1. Pick an interesting clubhouse.

Step 2. Comment on the current conversation.

That's what I did, I think it worked pretty well. I was incredibly nervous about it at first, but there's so many lovely people here.

It's always good to find a nice site with a good community. These days they're kind of hard to find, I think.

I love it here, I really do. ♥

I normally feel that way as well. What I do though, is ask permission to post there and so far I've been told it's okay and have joined many conversations...

I just have to not be asocial and talk to people..

I feel that way on certain sites but seriously, we don't bite here.

......Okay, maybe I do. But that's just me, and I'm overprotective as shit.

I know how you feel. It's why you never see me post anywhere.

I was because I'm shy as well as its one if my first avatar sites I've been on (my first was Gaia which I have no interests in.) and when I was fresh meat it was a year and some months ago so the scale was very small and minimal.

I talk more on Gaia when I do talk. I understand their internet culture...also...if one person is mad at you, there's about 5 billion more to talk to so it doesn't matter. You will both eventually forget each other.

It is getting to be similar here. If someone gets mad at you, either jump threads and forget, or just find a new topic.

Yes, but that's not so easy to do if the person who offended you is a super-poster and posts just about everywhere.

Exactly. This site, no offense, is a lot smaller than Gaia. You can't just go off somewhere and never see or talk to them again.

Small can also be good-statistically smaller=smaller amount of douchebags.

ESPY CAN BE PROTECTIVE OVER ME! <3

Feel free to post in the shadows whenever you'd like. <3
We need to bring that thread back to life.

Trisphee is the only place I never really felt awkward.
I did at first, but, then I kind of just... forced myself into the hearts and pants of all the Trisphites here :3

Yes. I always feel awkward on new sites... or any site in general.
Gaia is a bit easier on me, but that's because I've been there for a few years now, and have friends there.

But sites like these, where the communities are rather smallish and tight-knit? I'm scared senseless. |D
If I do manage to work up some balls to post (like now), I post in threads where I can relate to the topic... then run away.
Hahaha~

Gaia scares me >>

eynra scares the hell out of me and i am nervous about posting there but other than that no XD i like talking, if you'd like i can formally invite you to the corral; http://www.trisphee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5267 i encourage you come play with me and won't ever kick you out unless you feed the goat<3

>> seriously though, don't feed the goat

Aw I just wanna hug all you shy ppl <3

I used to be that way but now idc I'll just barrel my happy behind into any thread and be like HAI GUIS WHAT'S UP
everybody loves when I do that!! 8D Just ask anyone

I feel like that basically all the time in Gaia. :| That's why I never post there. I'm trying not to be such a wenie lurker here, but my inner lurker doesn't want me to. :< It's also a bit strange seeing my name as the last post in a bunch of threads.

@Electric; Haha, Gaia IS kinda scary. xD Especially if you go into the GD, CB, or Towns. /shudder
I'm just as much of a lurker there as I am here.
But it's easier to post there than here; mainly because there's so many users there and your chances of getting your post seen (unless you're a reg) are slim to none. Which is why I post and run--I like the feeling of accomplishment after posting your opinion/idea. Buuut hate it when I get noticed, because then I get nervous when having to reply back. Hahahaaa... >>;

@Whisper; Lol, it's strange for me too. I feel nervous when I see my name as the last post. I feel like I may get in trouble for posting all over the bloody place. > n>;;

I just feel like I'm the only one online and posting. :<
The GD is mess. It's gotten to the point that every forum named General Discussion gets me nervous because I think it'll be just like Gaia's. The only time I would even go into Towns is to pick up the flowers/trash/bugs way out in the middle of nowhere so I don't have to deal with the people.

The people in the towns were frightening.

They are. But, they're also easy to troll. |D
The simplest thing like throwing a snowball/squirting them with a water gun pisses them off. It's hilarious! xD

Angry people frighten too much for me to do something like that. > w>; It's more fun to hide and listen in on the conversations.

I'm with you on that. I'd rather hide and listen to conversations most of the time lol. While I don't, in this community, talk all over the place and a whole lot. When I do talk I guess my posts tend to be kinda long-ish. I like to think I'm pretty sane. So with all the crazies about me it's tough being so serious all the time xD;

I hated Gaia forums because WHEN I do speak I expect an answer. After a conversation has been going for a few posts though I don't get upset if the other person disappears or is done talking. But my first post is a biggie. No response in a thread after my third post might elicit unkind words from me...no I'm not violent. Really. ^-^;

Topic Question: Yes absolutely! Usually though this is not of my own shyness but sensory and data overload lol I'm definitely one who likes information and looking for them (unless I get bored). So typically I'm so overwhelmed my first day I only post an introduction thread and talk there until I get my grips on site navigation, items, and rules. Trying to post when completely naked gets me very embarrassed >///<

I'll have to be the "Anyone else".
That's what forum games were created for, though, ha.

It's kind of Ironic. I join these things and they're mostly forum-based.

I know that feeling. I still get it alot, but I find it easier to post here on Trisphee than anywhere else. >u< *huggles site*

I join these kinds of places to find rps which always end up failing horribly (usually with me being the last poster and they never replying D: )

Yep, happens to me all the time, but most of the time I get ignored until I get a better avatar so it's all good

-doesn't see what chatting and convos have to do with avi's-

Maybe they feel like the avis not wearing the free stuff get more attention? :/
I just don't like seeing all these pretty avis and then see mine rocking the free stuff. > w>; It sticks out too much. XD
