I wanted to know if there was levels of people, diffrent kinds of social levels, some people who just talk about eating cereal, and other who talk about NBC news and economics. I have noticed this.
Sometimes i think there are people that just stick them selves where there status is on psychobabble, and im talk about the whole site, social, books,
I belive its what there intrest is, but sometimes is there a discrimiating on social status? this is a website, but i do notice social status. As in life, it is applied to the website. I dont really see any discrimination, but i do see seperation.
That is my put, i usally dont post here, but im curious because all the controversial talk is. Well so is on the other boards but i just picked this one.
What is your opinion? [open ended question]

reality is what we make it..
we can make choices to see..or turn away..
we do not always have that power..times of depression ..i see only black.. or distort to black....
a woman moved away from me after i stood next to her waiting to pick up my child..today my social status increased..i am above her ignorance.
tomorrow i will cry behind my dollar store sun glasses because i smiled at another and she looked away..

hiya.
i don't think there is a social status thing... i think people tend to gravitate to issues they like to talk about.
but i always like it when other people jump on in to the discussion as well :-)

I'm a bit odd myself, and people don't exactly gravitate to me, but they not usu. overtly cruel or anything.
I don't need them anyways.

I've been through a similar experience myself, only with men.
And one thing I noticed was how strong people's "six sense" really is. Even if, with all of our hearts, we want to reach out and be loved and accepted by the opposite sex, if there is anger, hurt or sadness getting in the way people sense it and shy away.
We, without knowing it, can project a strong signal of "stay away".
I hope you are in therapy and are spending time on your own heart and healing it. As your heart grows and opens up to love, people will feel a lot more comfortable "smiling back".
I don't know your story, but my guess is, there is a very sad person there. But I know there is someone there that deserves to be loved. Take care of yourself.

I just love it when you pop in for a while. I wish you would stay around more than you do.

> > tomorrow i will cry behind my dollar store sun glasses because i smiled at another and she looked away..I smile at folks a lot. Sometimes even say hello. When they don't respond, I assume I forgot to turn off my cloaking device. sigh
But I hate when that happens. I'm sorry it happened to you. I'm sure you gave a genuine and beautiful smile. That's a gift, and the person didn't realize it.

I smile at people too. When I was younger, I used to give some strangers a big huge bright sparking smile and say "hi!" as I was walking by. Sometimes they'd respond with a smile; sometimes nothing; sometimes they'd give me a look that seemed full of skepticism and distrust.
Lately I don't do the big smile (lately meaning the past 10 years!!) -- I think because the people who gave the negative response got bigger.
It sucks when people don't smile back. Do they think I'm a)deranged b)going to attack them c)going to try to get something from them? Or are they so stressed from work and life and their own cares that a smile just can't get to their face in time?
Hmmmm.
