Flaky people

Some of us get cold feet. Others... IDK. They could be flakes, they could change their minds at the last minute or it could be something else. Remember, it's the internet. You gotta expect that regardless of what website you're using.
 
Maybe you're being too much of a pig and only being capable of focusing on sexual interests? Not much conversation potential when that's the approach.
 
I have noticed that sometimes the notifications for messages do not show up.
 
My interactions with people in DMs has been quite sparse but it has usually ended up being rather sexual, and at times admittedly too personal for me to feel all that comfortable, but once I'd shift the subject a bit they'd lose interest.

It's bound to happen, especially on a site like this. Don't take it personally. We're all here for different reasons.
 
Pretty usual, really, especially when the conversation includes any sort of "I'd like to get with your <insert critter here>" hint from either end, particularly if it shows up early in the chat.
 
"Flaky people" if your skin is flaky, most people treat that with Vaseline, don't ya know? :geek:

But I tend to flake a bit myself when I get overwhelmed by everyone wanting to talk with me at once. Or when my mental health is not in the right place. As well as text conversation ending up turning into 3 pages per reply. And Lastly, when I'm super busy and cannot make time for anyone.

I need to really get back with some people I've had conversations with in the past. A reply every once in a while is better than none at all.

Ewww! :sick: Greasy kid-stuff! ?

Ain't you ever heard of Jergens??? Lots better for that flaky dry skin. And I hear some fellas (Not myself, although I've given it a try in the past) seem to like it as an aid to whippin' the ol' weasel.

Bah... We all know the real story, "Percy" - Ever since you got that prefect badge, yer head's swelled about 13 sizes! Yer jus' stuck-up! Next thing we hear, you're gonna be in an office at the Ministry for Magic! :devilish:
 
I have had a lot of people flake on me when trying to get people here to help out. I think some of it is cat fishing, some is cold feet, and some people just want to fantasize and when that fantasy becomes too close to being a reality they flake.
That said, I also flake on people sometimes myself. Mostly because I am always super busy and often simply do not have time to respond and then I forget to respond when I do have time.

Well in truth, I have very dry skin. About the only thing that helps it is 50% Lubriderm / 50% Hydrocortisone. Although I have had a little bit of luck with Vaseline in the past. But my body like to start ignoring it's very application after about a month of usage. I've never used Jergens, I might have to try it.

What? The mod badge? Damn right!!! I am the LAW! Worship me as your GOD! Lol Kidding.

But nah, I'm still the same 'ol Floofy as before. Just with a few extra responsibilities. I'm still green so I've been researching past cases and reports just to see how they were handled to make sure I don't overstep my boundaries, because I'm really not a power hungry person.

I had some friends kick the bucket earlier this year and have been sorta flaky and not in the mood to chat ever since. 2020 has really been a shit year for me.

Awww, c'mon, UR20Z... You know just as well as I do that you're absolutely desperate to let me and these eight or so other random guys I plan to drag along bone the bejeezus outta your mare! :devilish:

(Don't click this)
 
i message everyone back that contacts me, im always down to meet new people and make new friends. A few people have flaked but I've had awesome conversations with the ones that have not. Shit happens though, i don't take it personally when i don't hear back from someone.

This right here. I tend to forget or get cold feet when things start to get weird or I feel that someone is not being honest with me. There are reasons aplenty. No one should take it personally it is the interwebs after all and shit will happen.

Is it just me or does anyone else find people on here really flaky? Like I'll strike up a good convo with someone and then all of a sudden I'm ghosted. I'm starting to take it personally ?? or do other people find this?

It would be better if refreshing, or leaving that msg page and coming back to it wasn't required for msgs to show.
Maybe I'm asking for too much. The site runs great other than that.
 
Honestly most people bore me to tears. The few people who do interest me can easily maintain that interest and don't have to worry. Everyone else though....

 
After many, many back and forth msgs in one conversation, it's not too much to ask for a person to say goodbye or something akin to "Hey, have to run." Don't even try to tell me "Well, that's the internet. That's the way it is." BS!
Don't leave your manners in a box at the door to the internet!

Some of us couldn't maintain a conversation to save our lives. (*guilty*)

Pet peeve of mine, at least let us know you're leaving instead of making someone wait 30 minutes for a message that won't come.

I have my settings so that my green light is never on. That's why I always tell anyone with whom an extended conversation is evident, that I will tell them when I have to leave. People with whom I talk regularly already know this.
 
My experience has not been all that great, because I don't want to be "that guy" who imposes on anyone else.

I grew up as an only child, and because I skipped grades in elementary school, I had no real peer group. As a result, I became pretty much a loner. I'm the kind of guy who can go someplace where there are lots of people, and no one will even notice I was there.

Somewhere along the way, I developed this attitude that if people wanted me to be involved, they would make the effort to include me . I didn't take into account that everyone else is pretty much self-centered, and expects others to do all the work. So I blend into the background, and rarely, if ever, get noticed and almost never get included because of it.

I tend to default to the position that my interests and desire to communicate becomes a burden on people, and that they all don't really want to hear from me. If they did, they'd be the one to get in touch. So I don't initiate conversation or communication very often, because I don't want to impose myself on anyone, which in turn seems to put a stop to any communications. It's a vicious cycle. I've somehow convinced myself that if someone really wanted to talk to me, they would make the effort. So I don't have much contact with people. I feel like they have to be the one to start something, because that's the only way I'll really and truly know they're doing it because they wanted to, and not because I asked. Oh, I suppose I could always think "well, if they didn't want to they'd never respond" but that's not the same thing.

So I don't have much experience with people "flaking" on me, because I rarely get invited to be in on anything. Sad, isn't it?
