Do you feel that other people on the forum don't like you?

[file cabinet]

I've had two people say that they feel like other people on the forum don't like them... do you feel that way?

[Arcael]

I think its just a feeling we get when someone disagrees with us.

I like pretty much everyone in this forum, but ive only been here for a day or so.

[Spartan26]

I've had two people say that they feel like other people on the forum don't like them... do you feel that way?

I don't know, who were the two people and I'll let you know what I think. Just kidding. People send me personal messages saying, "Die Spartan Die!" Should I be concerned with that?

Sadly but honestly, I feel like I could be the third. :( {Maybe it's becuase of an over use of the emoticons?}


I think its just a feeling we get when someone disagrees with us. Sometimes it's tougher not getting any response than a negative or dissenting response.

I sometimes feel like this place is like a job or school. Everyone pretty much is nice or polite to me but no one's inviting me to happy hour or to ditch social studies to smoke a j or hang out at the mall.

[HairlessBluetick]

interesting.. I felt alienated at first.. but then I added like 30 ppl to my IM list and now that list is down to 6.
If you are interested in IM'ing someone view this list..
http://www.intpcentral.com/index.php?mode=im
If you do IM someone, the first thing you say is "I am from the INTP board, my username is %" and then if the person is receptive you IM the person again another day... that is one way to connect with the community.. or go on IRC and hopefully not everyone will be idling ...

also.. maybe we need other personalities on the board? as it feels like a lot of things rehashed frequently..

[Hypnos]

May I suggest a party forum? People in different locales can put out calls to get together ...

[Ckyzxr]

Well...it's really hard to impress you guys with depth of thought or vision because you all have it too.

There's not a lot of validation going on here but we as a group are not normally validators, we are observers and thinkers.

I picture INTP-Con as a group of people getting together to watch each other thinking.

Oh and BTW, there is not one person here (except Universal) that I wouldn't want to hang out with and get to know better. :)

[Division56]

Oh and BTW, there is not one person here (except Universal) that I wouldn't want to hang out with and get to know better.

I did hang out with Universal, did get to know him better. He was an asshole. Although he did come on to me. :nerd:


There is a short list (maybe 4 people) that I actively dislike. They probably don't even know I have a problem with them.

I have another short list of about the same length that contains people I actively like and hang out with in IMs and such.

[PsiKik]

This forum has been unusual compared to some of the others I've participated in.
There seems to be very little or no trolling or flaming. Is this just my impression?

[Birdsnest]

Yes, I can tell some aren't too partial because certain people don't post when I post, and then if I dissappear for a day they come back, so I guess its my natural APD repellant working to keep people away.

[PsiKik]

I picture INTP-Con as a group of people getting together to watch each other thinking.


I would be very interrested to goto an INTP con. Saw something about one on meetup.com. From the pictures they seemed to be having a good time.
I think a meetup like this would not be a 'normal' social interraction of the sort that INTP's are supposedly so bad at because we would know that we all had that particular problem.

[Arioch]

I sometimes feel like this place is like a job or school. Everyone pretty much is nice or polite to me but no one's inviting me to happy hour or to ditch social studies to smoke a j or hang out at the mall.

That kind of sums it up.

You know it's a pity that you guys don't have your MSN or YIM listen or I'd IM you and see if it's possible to do the rumba in cyberspace.

Alas alas, it is not and that is the truth of it. And there's also the fact that I don't actually know how to rumba.

So, put that magnificent brain of yours to work. How to we make this place more of a happy hour?

I wonder what such a meeting would be like. It realy depends on if the INTP's link with eachother or not. Some just don't know or want to socialize (even with other NT's) and some will party like it's 11110011111

I wouldn't mind hosting a party like that. Except my house doesn't have enough technological stuff to keep the stereotypical INTP happy. Plenty of art though.

[Avengardh]

I agree with whoever said that this is just a forum...I like some people, they majorly know it and most of them aren't actively posting anymore.

Other than that...if someone doesn't like me in this forum I can't do much about it, can't change people's opinions if they are set on it and there is so much you can learn about a person online :/

[lauriep]

I feel a little alienated but that is probably just because I'm new. I don't normally do any type of chat rooms or when I do I’m used to my posts being ignored so it has been refreshing to see so many people that think the same way I do. Also I don't think that I've really met other INTP's before so it’s perhaps a little overwhelming. Sometimes I get so used to fitting in (at work, at school, etc.) so that people will just go away and leave me alone that I’m not exactly sure how to deal with people that I actually want to know me as I really am. Does that make sense or just sound like random mind babbling?

[cloakable]

Yeah, sometimes I get that feeling, but mostly it's cause when I say something in RL, people take notice of it, cause it's usually more concise/profound than anything people around me are saying. Then people come out with some sort of praise for my intelligence. Funny, but you only notice that sort of thing once it fails to happen, and it does help.

But here, there are a load of people with comparable/superior minds (excluding Universal), and this level of mental profiency is taken for granted.

[Johnny]

Every time I come to the INTP forum, I receive unlimited love and affection. It continues to radiate both boundlessness and beauty. Anyone who sees otherwise has likely forgotten their eyelids were closed while pondering something.

I make that mistake often... LOL

:sombrero:

[purple13]

I don't feel I've posted enough for people to get to know me enough to dislike me. I lurk more than I post, and feel a bit out of place being in the minority of people age 40 and over, plus the INxP (confusion) factor. I don't feel very smart sometimes. Maybe I'll post an astrology topic for discussion. I can see the flames from here. :o

[CosmicDust]

I'm not active enough in this particular forum to pick up like/dislike vibes or to consciously give them out.

[KentOhio]

If someone did dislike me, I probably wouldn't be able to tell, unless they told me so explicitly.

[MacGuffin]

If someone did dislike me, I probably wouldn't be able to tell, unless they told me so explicitly.

Yes I have no idea. If you don't like me - say it! I will cruch you remotely using the Force! :ph34r:






Or at least think bad thoughts about you....

[Almaviva]

I wonder if the "problem" isn't that, as a personality type, INTP's are just very poor at making other people feel welcome and appreciated. I know I've been called cold and judgemental in every relationship I've been in. (Hey, it doesn't feel that way to *me*:) )

[SensEye]

I think Almaviva has put his finger on it. We are just not a warm and fuzzy bunch.

I don't really know anybody well enough to form much of an opinion on. Although some posters I find more interesting than others and some people I just don't get.

I don't get the sense that anybody dislikes me so far, but I'm bound to annoy some people eventually. :D

And what's all this about Universal? Are you guys just kidding or did I miss some offensive outburst somewhere?


Yes, I can tell some aren't too partial because certain people don't post when I post, and then if I dissappear for a day they come back, so I guess its my natural APD repellant working to keep people away.

I doubt this is the case. From my perspective, some of your posts seem to come right out of left field (like your over the top romantic suggestions on the dating threads). I don't really know what to make of them so I don't reply. Others may react the same way, but I 'm sure no one avoids you or a thread if you post on it.

I think I can tell by how people say things if they don't like me. If they swear, or go a little out of their way to disagree with something I did/said-implying it affected them more than what it was worth, or if in the process of going out of their way to disagree with me, irrelevant, emotionally-tinged things are stated. Another give-away is a facade of belligerent apathy, which is often betrayed by how much they were talking about it in the first place.

I'm pretty sure there are people on here that dislike me, but I can't think of anyone I dislike. I may disagree with people but that has nothing to do with my perception of them as a person-which I understand as incomplete, since I've only seen them in this one-dimensional context.

[Partisan]

When the forum was still at forumer.intp, and there were only about 60 people, I left because I knew most of the people on there didn't like me. I came back recently though, I'm e-lonely and this anonymity I get from so many members helps quite a bit.

[ohnoaninfp]

I dont like you KentOhio!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding. Love ya man! I don't think I dislike anyone on the forum. Everyone, except Universal, seems to be cool. As far as people disliking me, I don't know. No one has said or done anything to make me think that I am not welcomed. It is cool to talk to people who have different views. Even though we might disagree on somethings, I don't have any dislike for any one on the forum.

[crule81]

I haven't posted on anything else than a college hockey forum before so my experiences with these kinds of things are somewhat limited. But one thing I've noticed is that e-mail, IM, and forums are not always the best way to convey feelings or develop any kind of real relationship. While there are the Emoticons (which I don't like to use), they don't make up for the subtle visual and aural cues one gets from face to face interaction. I have a tendency to drift away from friends if I can't see them on a regular basis. Likewise, I've never made a real friend before I've met them face to face.

I basically write for a living. But even I notice that my writing style is somewhat formal and could be described as cold and overly analytical. Similarly, when I read, I tend to look notice the facts and ideas stated rather than any emotion that is trying to be conveyed. This problem is probably compounded by the fact that I am a solid T.

So I guess my point is that the lack of key aspects of personal interaction that are the result of writing as the soles means of communication makes it difficult to make real friends. But it can make enemies more easily because it is much easier to be rude to somebody at arms length. Or, one might take something that isn't meant to be mean as mean because the writing cannot express the actual meaning through tone of voice or facial expression.

I joined this forum because the posters are intelligent and interesting. I haven't been disappointed so far. I think people are generally very civil polite. Check out any college sports forums if you're interested in people ripping each other's level of intelligence based on the school they root for or attended. But I think my overall point is that one can only expect a certain level of closeness from the internet.

Then again, maybe it's just me and I haven't been here very long or posted very much here or anywhere else. Maybe people have had different experiences in other forums.

I'm in a dejected mood today because of work and I don't think I have explained myself very well here. I might completely change my view tomorrow. I don't know.

Well, yes, I actively expect it: if they didn't, I wouldn't be doing my job properly.

Actually, I imagine so, sometimes I log on expecting random or directed abuse, but the members generally seem agreeable and able to take friendly wrangling and criticism. If I express the average world view on American military prowess from WWI to Private 'I'm an American Soldier, too' Jessica or criticise support for the aparthied state of Israel, I know that it won't turn out that I'm a
So far I'm a College-educated German Liberal French Nazi Pacifist Communist Muslim Little Boy Who's a Retired History Teacher. as I listed in one thread on another Forum. And if someone feels that the British are greedy hypocritical bastards, I'm not going to flame them. Besides you don't become a legitimist royalist despising all forms of democracy in order to become popular.

Obviously, because I, like others, have a presently high post-count ( although my rate is slow but steady, and others', faster, will soon surpass ) that may irritate people. My computer isn't strong enough for instant messaging just now, so I can't join in, or annoy, on those vibrant discussions, so I may be slightly excluded. Not that I type fast enough for those things.

Whilst I have a preference for certain posters, and examine their posts rather more carefully, can't say I dislike anyone here. Not even the feminists/libertarians or the maligned Universal: they're all children of the world. However, as to a lack of replies, the fact is that the number of threads and posts is rising exponentally: none of us, except FC, can read every one, let alone add more posts to each.

I don't expect that everyone will love me or that everyone will hate me. We are all different kinds of people, even if we share the same personality type for the most part, so like in every society, some people will like you and others won't. I don't have any personal problems with anyone though. Usually I don't hate people, on boards or in real life; I am withdrawn though, that is who I am and I will not change that. If people think that I am 'cold' because of that, well, that's not my problem - it is just a hasty conclusion.

Hopeless romantic that I am, I kinda enjoyed that ideal night of passion post. You're not getting that every night, but I enjoyed it. I think you have to be really subdued about expressing affection or your interest or desires for another. Otherwise you end up with a restraining order.

I guess we are admitting to our hypersensitivity. I think it is important that we feel liked and accepted, at least by those we feel are much more similar to ourselves, beyond social superficiality.

Has anyone conducted a poll to determine how many are truly INTP, now that the group has grown?

[Misty_Kye]

I haven’t gotten the impression that anyone dislikes me, but then I’ve never been very good at reading people face to face, much less e-mail wise : :ph34r:

Of course I’m not comfortable enough with the forum or my ability to effectively communicate off the wall ideas to start writing about the more controversial thoughts I have.

I think that in time some folks will like me, some will dislike me and some will be a bit ambivalent.

[shaytana]

I think I am one of the people that division hates. You hate me dont you div? I dont hate you, I <3 you.

[booyalab]

I beg to differ. Although a lot of us admitted to thinking people didnt like us, that doesn't mean we let it affect us significantly. It would bother me if everyone flat out hated me, but I don't need everyone to like me...in fact I think it's nice that most people don't seem to have any opinion about me, because there's a better chance that my ideas will be judged fairly. I'd feel just as irritated if someone praised something I wrote simply because they liked me as I would if someone criticized what I said because they hate me.

[Laeskis]

I don't know if anyone likes me or not.
But if someone doesn't like me, I'd understand completely...even empathize. I get on my own nerves sometimes.

I think sometimes people do not understand my humour and innuendos, but if someone does hate me I honestly don't fucking mind. And if I am aware of it, I may even feed off of it.

I don't hate anyone one here, but I do prefer some for their exceptional wit and humour.

Laeskis, you were actually one of the first people on this forum who entertained me.

I think so many of you are especially fun and you probably have an idea of who you are...

I am pretty new to the forum too.

One thing that I have noticed (besides that I am longwinded) is that I am also ultra sensative. Maybe we need some INFxs to join us to smooth that out. Just kidding.

But really, the forum is super fun because unlike the other forum I was on everyone here seems to be really smart. I like that. I am not sure that I am, but you are and that's nice.

Also, I admit my favorite person so far has been booyalab, she is so much fun to argue with. I hope you keep it up. And so it doesn't seem like I favor you, I hate what you say :P

Maybe we need to have some sort of meeting time online or something so everyone can chat more because I would feel really weird PMing someone or just IMing them. I know the IRC thing exists but meeting times would still be nice.

I think this forum is the best I've ever been to (and I have been to quite a few). Normally I'm more of a lurker than poster on forums, because I feel that my views don't really interest anyone. But here, people reply, and not only that, they have intelligent responses too!
Also, I think I trust this crowd more. You all seem to be able to discuss sensitive topics without going off the walls with emotional outbursts.

So, in short, I like you all! :hug:

I always feel that everyone hates me. I get over it and just act oblivious to it, but it's always there nagging at me, and it always overwhelms me in the end.

Your signature just made me laugh, Dengarm. Then I read it again, to make sure I had it right, and it made me laugh again. I certainly don't hate you yet. Never say never, though :)

I'm fairly indifferent towards many people. I go through stages of wanting to get to know everybody, and stages of wanting to not get to know anybody at all - except the ones i already know and like.

I think it's a monkeysphere thing. People who just join are new, and want to get to know many other people, but people who have been here a while already know enough people to hang them over just fine.

["InsertNameHere"]

Nice thread revival, Ape. I've never considered what people thought about me on here but I guess it's because I'm not on INTPcentral consistently. So, I figured people didn't know me enough to have an opinion about me . . . then again I'm quite oblivious to people’s feelings or maybe it's because I don't really give a damn. I haven't figured out which one it is yet.

[Snowflake]

I don't know anyone here. The people who I do know, I know from the IRC channels on ECNet.

I don't know if anyone dislikes me. I do know there are people who do like me, for whatever reason(s). I don't dislike anyone at the moment, but I have disliked people in the past.

[Helios]

More than once here I have felt like I gotten overly comfortable, or overly familair here and "wore out my welcome". Or earned a bit of scorn from the masses. Regardless its led to me seeking to lay-low for a while. So maybe I'll go to N-central then. Once I got pissed with both, in a very narrow time frame, felt some bad karma from all sides. I said "FUCK IT" and left (for China to be exact). Clearly, I got over it. In fact most of the offending personages have long ago gone away (boo hoo, fuck 'em!)


I just started goofing arounf N-cen again in the last few weeks, it is fun. I can be silly and (more) retarded threre. All those bleeding heart F-types don't even flinch!

I'll be nice, and try not to annoy anyone, but given how much I detest myself it would only be reasonable that many here would find me distasteful as well! So if you hate me, please speak up, but be rational and analytical about it, 'cause it will hurt more then, and I'll be alive, and feel vindictive too!

[Clara]

Dislike, hm. Another concept that applies differently, depending on where ( or do I mean how... or both -- I expect that it might be, for me anyway, one of those things that I'm not going to understand anytime soon... and it's not on my figurative, full-at-the-moment list ) it's applied.

I take for granted that I'll have little, or nothing, in common with some people. And, that some people with whom I have things in common won't share some ineffable ( heh, another way of saying, I-don't-know-what ;) ) ... nope, I have no clue what I'm trying to qualify here. Whatever that set of possible variables might be, is beside the point I'm trying to make. Some people just won't like me. Whatever their reasons. And they might be "justifiable" reasons -- it could be that what I'm doing, the choices I'm making in my life, don't go well with theirs. ( Btw, this doesn't imply that either of us is "wrong". Oh, one or both of us may well be... anywhere on several sliding scales of wrongitude. I hope not, but I'm wrong often enough to be droning on, to make sure to include all this in the point I'm making. Again, I may be wrong. )

Getting along with people, in the contexts we share, is more to the point, for me. For example, after "following around" -- by reading posts and linked websites -- some of the people here who I thought might have things to say that'd shed some insight on some of the things I think about, I stopped to ask myself, "Might it be bugging them, that I'm doing this ?" Argh. Wrongitude in action, I didn't ask directly. Nope, I just stopped. And wondered some more, now and then.

One of the difficult aspects, for me, around the theme of liking/ not liking... *holding firmly on the "pause" function, for tangents* I have spoken up, more than a few times, in defense of someone else's right to dislike me ( the concept being someone else saying "That's wrong ( unjustifiable, or "not nice" )" ). It's one of my principles, I've discovered.

In practical terms, I hope that if I'm stepping on someone's toes -- like, in my example, above, asking-without-asking for someone to share some of their thoughts ( or understanding, or something ), and this is bothering them... I hope they'd say so. It's complicated, and it isn't really something I understand very well. Especially since... I assume the inevitability of a wide range ( I've run out of both words and time here ) of disliking. *I really don't think it's something we'd want to try to eradicate... and isn't the fact of INTPishness a kind of reminder about doubt ?* See, I really don't know.

[jimore]

I don't know whether anyone actively dislikes me. To my knowledge I haven't offended anyone sufficiently to support dislike. But do I sometimes feel my posts are unwelcome and out of place? Sure. On several occasions I have posted to a very active thread and it immediately dries up. Most often, my posts are simply ignored.

I think unquestionably my age is a factor in the forum's response to me, and me to it. Much of the angst and evolving sense of self I see here are things I went through many years ago. (And by the way, my experiences then were quite similar to those related here). One of the benefits of this forum that I didn't have then is any feedback from those with similar character traits. I didn't have a peer group, it was just me not really understanding why I was so different. And in terms of reality check I know there is no way in hell I can comment on some issues without holding a sign over my head that reads "Back when I was your age I had to walk fourteen miles to school in my bare feet, you got it easy." While I don't actually feel that way, I think the perception is inevitable.

So there is a large area of experiences I can't share because I been there, done that until I used up all the possible arguments. (For example issues like prejudice, gpd. evolution. There is simply no ground I haven't covered over and over.) But at the same time I hang around because I enjoy seeing others approach concepts the same way I do. So all in all I feel quite at home sitting quietly here in the old folks corner. And I am much more likely to find someone here who thinks about things I am interested in with what I call conceptual maturity (as apposed to cut and paste term tossing) than I would be hanging out in a local coffee house.

Uh oh, Jimore is here, we can't post in this thread anymore guys. ;P

I have had those thoughts before, too. I came to the conclusion that it just means everybody agrees with everything I say, and thinks posting to say "I agree, EnglshIvy, you're brilliant and gorgeous!" is inefficient. You INTPs and your efficiency thing gets very inefficient sometimes. :)

(By the way, that was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I do think that when you're generally affable and don't say much that people disagree with, you make fewer waves on the forum.)

Sarcasm is but one of many services I offer. I also offer facetiousness, copious use of mildly funny puns, and good-natured self-effacement which can be cashed in for your own self-esteem.

[Lee]

I don't want anybody to dislike me, but then I don't think I give anybody a good reason to dislike me. So if there are people who dislike me, then it is their problem, and not a reflection of me.

But then I must admit, there are a few people who irritate me, but I would not bother disliking them, it would take too much effort. Usually such instances of irritation are caused by one outburst, by a person who is otherwise quite alright.

oh......there are PLENTY OF GOOD REASONS :mad: :rant: :whyi:

[kuranes]

I think that the more outspoken anyone is, the more chance that person has that people will dislike them. It would be great ( or WOULD it? ) if everybody liked ( LOVED! ) me, but that's not going to happen. I've noticed some people who seem to gravitate towards flaming ( however subtle or blatant ) and where they've given me a few "trial warmings" they receive it back in kind. Not that every disagreement is a flame. Far from it. I can usually tell pretty quick though, if it is. Depending on how much time I have to put towards it, or whether the person is even worth responding to, I may fire something back. Some people even seem to define themselves by being obnoxious, and I sure don't tiptoe around those posters. However there are some SUBJECTS that are so complex ( and they have their special advocates ) that I may purposely not engage in a debate on them. Not enough time to do it justice. There are a very few posters, who, in the past, I would have hesitated to get into an argument with, but who seem to have mellowed out like fine wines since. Not that they wouldn't still give you one hell of a debate if you actively engaged them, but they don't seem to have the "chip on a shoulder" thing going on that I thought I noticed before. There are some people whose personalities seem basically pretty easygoing who will surprise me with their views on humanity. Instead of the warm person that I was picking up on vibewise, they sound cold as they describe some of their views. But perhaps this is a defense mechanism for them - since none of us can afford to be Mother Theresa/Mr. Theresa. As you speak to someone about matches, you never know whether they might have been burned in the past.

As far as hooking up socially, I'm all for it. I liked Hypnos' idea of parties. Too bad that there aren't more of you near Chicago. I've been able to get some one to one rapport going with a few of my favorites. I'm never sure how people are going to react to that, as some people seem to want to keep that kind of thing at arm's length or non-existent. Others will begin warmly and suddenly ( almost mid-sentence ) become much more remote, making me wonder what it was I said, or if it even had anything to do with me. And others who I seem to stay on an even keel with.

I can relate to Jimore's comments on age differences being a consideration.

[sasapurdue]

Sometimes I feel like people here don't like me or think I am stupid. But then I remember that I am paranoid by nature and it's probably not that people don't like me. Or maybe it is.
Sometimes I feel like I am not part of the "group" -- like everyone on here knows each other better than I do and I am sort of an outsider. But then once again, I remember my INTP paranoia about these sorts of things.
Usually if I feel like people don't like me I get defensive and disappear for a while.
On the other side of things, I honestly do enjoy discussing issues on here. If you stand back and think about it we talk about an extremely broad spectrum of topics and everyone is very curious and open to new ideas! People here are so interesting. It's very cool, considering there are people in this world who talk about nothing more than how work is going, what the weather is like, and what color they are painting their bathroom -- seriously I know some.
So, here's some validation for you all -- you are a very interesting group of people. yes that means you.

p.s. if people did want to get together and hang out I would definitely be interested. I like to party, and I could definitely use some N friends in real life.

[cjs55]

I like everyone, so therefore everyone likes me?

(stop laughing).

But seriously, the longer I stay on this board the more I like everyone. Even the people I didn't like so much at first.

Quite.

[Nighthawk]

I don't feel like anybody here hates me ... but then, I don't lose much sleep over it either. I'm a pretty laid back person and I do not get a rise out of seeking conflict. I do enjoy a good debate, but try to keep things civil. I try very hard to see other peoples' points of views and accept them ... even if I do not agree with them. Through my experience, that has made me somewhat of an oddball NT ... as I've found many of my NT friends are usually not as accepting. Of course, most of them are a lot younger than me, so that might have something to do with it. I was far less accepting in younger years as well. Not a criticism, just an observation. I'm a big fan of seeking common ground ... or at least common acceptance. I've converted more than one enemy into a friend.

Like jimore and kuranes, the age factor is also ever-present with me. I try to be careful, because the last thing I want to come across as is some preachy old bastard who had it ten times harder than the kids nowadays. That's not what I'm about. I've yet to find a person from whom I cannot learn something ... even a toddler. However, my age is part of who I am ... and I frame a lot of things in light of past experiences ... simply because I have had those experiences. Not because I know the "right" way to do things ... but because I have a couple of other options open to me from the past. Also, there are certain topics that have burned out for me, because I have explored them as far as I care to. Foremost among these are politics, religion, and racial issues. I do not contribute a lot there because I have mulled these over a lot in the past and have come to conclusions ... or opinions ... with which I am comfortable. That doesn't mean I don't like hearing new views about them on occasion ... but many views that I hear, I've already examined in some way.
At any rate, I enjoy being here ... even if I don't have the debate energy of a lot of you younger guys and girls.

[TPol]

If people dislike me, I haven't a clue unless they are outright about it...and if I was told, it would probably just make me shrug and go on with life. No way anyone can please everybody, I figure. So, live life as yourself and expect there will be some who dislike you for some reason...or for no identifiable reason they or you can figure out. The human psyche can be strange.

P.S. mgbradsh, your n00b comments were cute.

Nice ego defense there.

I've gotten sniped at a bit but not flamed, so I think I'm doing okay.

[Madrigal]

I sometimes sense when people don't like me. That's okay. Not everyone can or should like us.

Reasons why some people may not like me may range from my Fe outbursts, my "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude (I can't help it sometimes!), and my coming off as an attention ##### to some men that feel threatened by some of the views I express in threads about sex or relationships. I guess some things just don't sound good coming from a woman. You know who you are. ("Oh, but that's okay! I would do you too!" - Expected that, didn't you?) Also, some people take my joking too seriously.

I like a lot of people on this forum. Some of them don't like me. It's okay.

I like Ape's integrity and straighforwardness. It's reassuring to know someone will tell you that you are being an idiot if that's what they perceive. I hate hypocrisy.
I like Attila's innocence, which she carefully conceals behind her playfulness.
I like Booyalab's charisma!
I like Christi's warmth, there is just nothing stopping it!
I find C.J Wolf amusing, though I have only recently started figuring him out.
I like how Claverhouse will never say he was wrong, ha!
I like the way CorporateWhore can be on a totally different wavelength without even straying from the topic.
I like the way English Ivy makes so much sense. Actually, sometimes I don't like it! Hehe.
I think Enigmacrypt is hilarious. He is also very honest though he probably doesn't realize how transparent he is!
I like Eyebyte's sense of humour and am intrigued by the his modesty. I know you're hiding many things, Eyebyte.
I like the way Helios combines hedonism with sensitivity. His posts are endearing.
I am inspired by Hexchild's idealism. You may not see it that way, Hexchild, but I do.
I like Hustler because he doesn't fool me at all! And I might one day tell everyone about the turtles, Hustler, just to prove my point.
I like how Imperator's cynicism somehow leads him to humanistic conclusions. I don't know how he does it.
I think Ka.avik is mysterious and he doesn't know I'm figuring him out.
I like Kendoiwan's friendliness and wonder where he has been lately.
I like the way Kuranes attempts to actually have a dialogue with people and not just state his own view unilaterally.
I like how Lee seems to be hundreds of years old and is actually just 19.
EDIT: Damn you MacGuffin! I left you out by mistake because of that horrible new avatar, no doubt!
I like meshou's wit and the way she defends individuality. Her concept of it is different from mine.
I like mgbradsh's combination of chaotic goodness and lack of diplomacy.
I wonder about Nighthawk's calm melancholy. So many untold stories.
I like s0523's purity. I don't know why, but I sense it.
I am often astounded by the way Waxwing can be so cerebral and so human at the same time.


That was in alphabetical order. If I left anyone out, it might mean that you mean so much to me that I subconsciously skipped you! Or maybe I haven't gotten to know you enough.

[Hustler]

It's more of an attack, you know. I'm well-aware I'm not liked by many people here. Some have even ignored me!

MehaVinaya (8:21:48 PM): I have a question.
MehaVinaya (8:21:58 PM): Would you say that I'm innocent?
CylonGodxx (8:22:16 PM): lol - as far as physical sex goes - yes
CylonGodxx (8:22:22 PM): metally - your a slut

I remain inconspicuous as ever most of the time and so don't see any reason for anyone directing h8 towards myself. Do I feel part of the group? Sure. But from a safe distance.

I do correspond with many people outside the forums, but these relationships have primarily developed over at Nc.

[Wiki]

This is the first forum I've ever devoted any time to. I dislike web chat, but enjoy the PM's I receive along with the interaction of the threads. Most everyone who has PM'd me have really been cool and have said nice things.

I am low maintanence and expect the same, but my door is always open.

I dont dislike anyone. If you dislike me, you probably misunderstood me or one of my rants.

Im really too passive to butt heads with anyone for any length of time.

If I've been insensitive or ignorant to anyone please accept my apology. I believe that real men can and do apologize.

I've deleted most of my posts which I believe may have fallen into the category of insensitive.

I dont like to make enemies in life, just allies. I think my sense of humor which is based on being appropriately inappropriate, is easily misunderstood, but I cant be overly conscious about it.

What can I say, those who know me love me, and those are the only people I really need.

If I’ve even helped one person here one time before I die, It will all be worthwhile.

For those of you that could really use a hug right about now…..

*Gives forum a big hug*

I see myself making many friends in real life from here, in time. It is already happening.

[philonightmare]

Surely, like all gatherings, there will be people that rub you the wrong way, remind you of someone you know irl that you want to clobber upside the head, etc, but this medium is also frought with misunderstandings. You only get a chance to judge what the person says, which can be highly selective. Sometimes completely implicit and lacking in details. It's just up to the observer, whether they wish to judge hastily, or remain open to discovering more about that person.

I know I have come across some of the most fascinating people in my life, from here and Ncen, much as MM has said.

If there was ever a time I have considered disliking a person, it has probably been because of their closemindedness and/or apathy for wanting to learn more about any subject, or the person they have issues with. I don't dislike anyone here though, that would require a lot of effort on the other person's part. Besides, I have been fairly quiet here for many months now.

[PiccoloNamek]

I think most people here don't care about me either way. Which is fine by me. I like everyone here fairly well, even though you all seem to be very different than what I imagined my fellow INTPs to be like. :)

Referring to the thread title:

No I don't feel like people dislike me, nor do I dislike any other particular user. This is actually a shame, because it means I haven't been putting much energy into the site.

[Geek Engineer]

Well I hope not everyone dislikes me, but I guess I couldn't do much about it if they did. I realize I haven't spent a lot of time here lately, but I try to catch up with a few things that interests me. Of course some people may be totally sick of my "as Geek turns" blog. Also there are so many of you guys that just seem to go crazy with this forum, I just don't know were you find the energy. No disrespect indented, but it just seems like you guys need a life or something.. Ha Ha :)

Of course I need a life too so I guess we are all in the same boat. I wish I had more time to burn just chatting with everyone, but it just seems like I like to think and reflect a lot about what I say so it takes me a long time just to make one post, so I don't get much said that way. Oh well... I sometimes think it is because I am paranoid about saying something stupid or incorrect so I tend to be very self critical of what I say to be honest.

Well, yes, I actively expect it: if they didn't, I wouldn't be doing my job properly.

Actually, I imagine so, sometimes I log on expecting random or directed abuse, but the members generally seem agreeable and able to take friendly wrangling and criticism. If I express the average world view on American military prowess from WWI to Private 'I'm an American Soldier, too' Jessica or criticise support for the aparthied state of Israel, I know that it won't turn out that I'm a as I listed in one thread on another Forum. And if someone feels that the British are greedy hypocritical bastards, I'm not going to flame them. Besides you don't become a legitimist royalist despising all forms of democracy in order to become popular.

Obviously, because I, like others, have a presently high post-count ( although my rate is slow but steady, and others', faster, will soon surpass ) that may irritate people. My computer isn't strong enough for instant messaging just now, so I can't join in, or annoy, on those vibrant discussions, so I may be slightly excluded. Not that I type fast enough for those things.

Whilst I have a preference for certain posters, and examine their posts rather more carefully, can't say I dislike anyone here. Not even the feminists/libertarians or the maligned Universal: they're all children of the world. However, as to a lack of replies, the fact is that the number of threads and posts is rising exponentally: none of us, except FC, can read every one, let alone add more posts to each.

I would suspect that most people are indifferent towards me.Clearly this isn't the case, and has already been contradicted even as I typed this jumble of whateveritisiwasdoing out... This thread is clearly becoming a goshithinkyouareswellathon. Its very nature is threatening to destroy the forum as we know it. The sound of teeth gnashing is quickly becoming deafening... And if there's one thing that makes me squirm and unable to think clearly, it is teeth gnashing. Also: crunching of crunchy foods.


I'd like to take more time to read the threads and respond,But clearly you are much much too important, right?


but I'm much much much more important then everyone else here...so I just don't have the time.I'm sorry. I'm right on this... You are only worth as much as a double much. Rampant egotism veiling an intented modesty in turn veiling nougat, peanuts, and milk chocolate is a delicious recipe for disaster.


I'm sort of intimidated by a lot of people here as well.And from mistruths to out-and-out lies! The fact that forum posters have 'disappeared' over the months hasn't gone unnoticed. We know what is in the meatloaf--the only reason we take what is dished out is because we know that next week, the meatloaf could be us. There will be no opportunity to sleep on it, since we don't like our teddies and don't want to be treated like really no good kids.


If I was on another forum I could just post and not face any sort of huge challenge...A clear reverse psychological statement of your overconfidence, eh? If I wasn't sitting down, I'd state that I'm not going to stand for this!

So I'm going to stand up, state that I'm not going to stand for this, and go for a jog.


but you all are just entirely too sharp and would rip my thoughts and opinions to shreads.Sorry, jogging--can't say too much here. Consider your thoughts and opinions ripped apart, anyway.

[nottaprettygal]

Clearly this isn't the case, and has already been contradicted even as I typed this jumble of whateveritisiwasdoing out... This thread is clearly becoming a goshithinkyouareswellathon .


I honestly didn't post originally as a means of gaining support or attention. I was just trying to say that I think that if you don't post a lot you sort of get lost in the shuffle.

Wow...there are so many food analogies in your response that I can barely digest (har har) them all. But thanks for ripping a seemingly innocuous post to shreads. :::runs away crying:::

-the only reason we take what is dished out is because we know that next week, the meatloaf could be us.

This is why the "Swap Meat" forum was created, guys. Trust the Admins. Admins good. Mods good. . . . . .

And you are quite welcome for the rippings. I aspire to evil, though I'm not sure whether or not I can pull it off all the time. I'm glad in this case that I made me into a modern success story!


This is why the "Swap Meat" forum was created, guys. Trust the Admins. Admins good. Mods good. . . . . .Good to eat? *sniffs kuranes* I'm not sure what you have been marinating in...

[kuranes]

I marinate in marinara, being a true INTPC font of circular definitions. Occasionally I offer a tempting hint of . . at the very least . . . true recursiveness. And I keep a small amount of sour "tang" in the mix, so that my basic sweet nature will not overwhelm any ladybugs and suchlike who should decide to reconnoiter here.

Too bad there aren't auctions allowed on the Swap Meat.

$5 opening bid for a dinner with kuranes, at $.50 increments... You could make...

[kuranes]

*in hopeful Austin Powers voice*

"Yes? . . . . . . "

[Rhu]

$4.75

:p

[kuranes]

$4.75

:p

This sort of behavior, sir, is why you indeed deserve to be marinating in . . . . . . . . . . . . say, www.portalofevil.com! !

I just think that no one takes the time to understand a real person,
they just read the posts and take it the way they want and not the way a person means it to be.

So judge mental of some people.

Oh - hmm... then fuck you.


I think I am starting to generate some animosity towards myself - but I am not sure I dislike it - I was once told "You not only know the Character of a man by the quality of his friends - but also by the quality of his enemies."
