Well I guess we sit here forever narrating the different aspects of people behavior and stuff like that but I do think , if you aren't on a fully intellectual level here, people checking this convo out ( not every single one ofc but in general ) seek out to actually find someone around here. Or else this whole discussion would just be a giant brag about this shit which would make me sad cuz that would mean I totally misunderstood the intentions here.

@Annabel Lee I like that you point out "postive energy" since this is something rarely happening around here. But that's not due to the people but due to the fact that expressing negative energy through TEXTING is way easier than expressing positive engery. I just recently had that exact matter with a past friend/part lover of me. We ended up at a point where texting only made stuff worse because we couldnt express exactly what we discussed about and in the end we actually ended up fighting multiple times just because of the lack of actual expressions. So giving a good vibe is important yeah but I am afraid you cant maintain that forever through texting only.

By the way I do "answer" to both texts to Glass and yours just to point that out since I will go back and forth between then probably. Its just the way I handle stuff. Its a bad habit of jumping thoughts and it annoys people so I hope with explaining I make you feel a lil easier about it.

My point is, I do indeed believe that to a certain point alot of interaction is locked behind a wall if we take on texting only. Which is probably why I always tend to ask about someones actual stuff like discord or whatever. Not necessarily to get something specific out of it but I do think that it creates progress in a conversation.

Where as most people would just text with someone until the first and second conversation died out and then just remove them as Glass said.

And I do agree with Glass that this daily chat, even tho I actually would be someone who would like it alot, is just delusional. And actually not really necessary anyways. If you have interest in another person and a likewise mind at least you will always be able to find a topic for a longer conversation even if you didnt speak with them for like 2 months or whatever.

On the passionate part of Glass I wanna say 2 things.
1. This is getting way harder through the stuff we pointed out already where as people are so caught up in their own delusional picture that they cant really be passionate about someone else.
2. Not for everyone again of course but I do think I am right to say that most part of all of us, got more boring. Not bored but actually boring. You would wonder how many people end up in a monotone behavior either in work, private life or whatever so in the end you actually would end up in a loop conversation again because people just dont do anything special anymore.

The COMMON person around here I would say is a little depressive, stuck in a cycle, goes to school, work or whatever, comes home and uses the time to game and get off their mind and then seeking out attention or actual social interaction via the internet. With all the mobile apps and stuff this is really just common behavior nowadays.

I always tried to live out of this cycle and stop myself from becoming a brain dead person who does exactly what I just said above but in the end, even tho I managed to escape this, at least for me, that doesnt make me any more interesting in comparison to others I think lol.

I do have fun having a somewhat not only entertaining but actually insightful conversation here but in the end I would still like to meet a decent human being around here. Even tho I am fully aware that the circumstances are absolutely garbage. Its like this endless mountain path you are stuck on. Even if it makes no sense anymore since you are exhausted you do wanna reach the top.

Now that you mention it you are right. The goal to combine gaming with social aspects would be pretty awesome if it wouldn't be that hard online. I would make an example here but Glass Flamingo already pointed it out perfectly. But since we are all here still discussing I would be interested in to what exactly makes you add a person around here?

Because funny enough even if you think you kike a person or we could fit together we'll character wise I'm still always hesitant to make the first move.

Yeah.

I can 100% agree and relate to that.

Sadly besides a small hand full of cool people I still would like to meet intelligent and mature individuals who can sustain conversations.

Guess one can't have everything.

You have a point here I never thought about copy pasta long texts. I mean when I wrote a text like that back then I did copy pasta it ONCE in different groups but not multiple times in the same one no matter how much times has passed. But I guess you are still totally right with that argument on that.

Thanks for that metaphor it really helped puzzling this picture together and yeah I am glad I could see a different perspective on that matter not just my own.

And yeah I totally forgot these overly hyped happy persons who hug and kiss you after the first 2 minutes of saying hey lol
But tbh its the same sh't for me and almost as annoying as the other stuff.

I couldnt agree more to your last words tho. Maybe thats why I had the feeling and want to go out of my way and actually participate and post in a discussion lol.
It feels like a little save haven of some sorts.

The most interesting stuff I found in these groups is that usually the short bound "add me" comments get the most adds while when you actually try and write a semi long post about what you are searching, maybe imply how you are a little and stuff that either gets ignored totally or at best it actually gets deleted. Like seriously I had so much groups in steam back in the day when I used to post this stuff myself. I always tried to stray from this non personal little messages and tried to give the strangers at least a little metaphoric picture of me so they know if they really wanna add or not but usually my post just got deleted with no reasoning whatsoever.

It literally is like either you dont care and post shit or you care and get deleted.

Whats really funny tho out of my own personal expirience is that for whatever reason through the... dunno like 4 or 5 years I am on steam now something drastically changed. Back then I didnt care who added me as long as we maintained conversations, had stuff in common etc.

But nowadays I actually have my own kind of judgement when someone adds me. I do look for their profile, for their steam level, for some comments yadda yadda. Like I am looking for some kind of reputation. Or stuff like "oi I myself spent shit tons in steam I wanna have someone who does this shit too? "

I mean dont get me wrong I do know how damn stupid that is, but I cant turn it off.

I myself am a person who would like to finde close friends even tho I know the reality of what steam really is. Maybe its some thing that people just like to cling onto in order to avoid the truth that 95% of the people here do. not. fucking. care.

And like the creator of this discussion mentioned already, it's always the same people who repeat themselves in a cycle of not even full 5 hours in these comments. And the thing with them is exactly these people are the ones who 99% not even accept the people who add them and if they accept, they wait for them to engage a conversation otherwise they just delete them again. And if a conversation occurs its just as you guys stated they are so blinded by their own standards and expectations that you don't stand a chance of actually being interesting to them anyways.

But how are you supposed to? Because usually you gotta fight yourself through the sh't ton of the peoples problems and self pity and get your arguments, or actual help or interest blocked out just to MAYBE in the end when the person is done with their self pity waves, have a chance to actually get a normal topic going.

God sorry for that giant post. I think I am a little butthurt here. xD
