In your mirror.
Good evening.

We post here on the SKMB and it's all good. We post and share. Here.

But, we also PM, give each other our e-mail address and our cell phone numbers. :rolleyes: (Reaching out and giving my cell phone number...that was a BIG one for me.)

We talk here but from our postings...we find a friend. We reach out to each other. We make friendships that allow us to connect on a deeper level. For years! (You have to admit...THAT'S pretty cool. :blues:)

Any way, just wanted to let y'all know... reach out. You don't know where you will find your BFF!

Peace.

Old Joke:
What do you get when you cross the phone company with a man's large privates?
Answer:
A giant d**k that just wants to reach out and touch someone! ;-D
(some of you will remember the old Ma Bell Telephone ads?)

Siggy- I have made numerous friends here on the SKMB, ones that I have shared personal stories with and some even have my address. There are many folken here that I count as friends and hope to continue that relationship for a long, long time.

I don't reach out much virtually.

I have about 650 Facebook friends, and I don't know if that's good or bad. I don't know about 640 of them (exaggeration, but not much). When someone in my profession sends a request, I accept it. Same with LinkedIn. It means little. I recently went to a professional gathering, and several people said, "We're Facebook friends," and it met with the same expression from me as if they'd said, "We knew each other in a former life."

Maybe it's on only child syndrome. It really doesn't occur to me to message people here on SKMB, unless it's to clarify something I said online so they don't get offended by my (in)action, and that doesn't happen often, and likewise I get messaged very few times, which is fine. Humans are what they are, and they socialize as they will, and I have talked to one (1) person personally from the forum, and that's been quite nice, but it didn't make me think that I should talk to others. It just doesn't occur to me.

I've been led to believe that there might be a gathering of SKMB folks in my state in the not-too-distant future. I'm not sure what to think about that, other than I should go (assuming I haven't been kicked off) - but I just don't think I'll live up to expectations. So there's a weird mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

Yes, there is an underboard. :) One that gives support and comfort in trying times. I would not be exaggerating if I said life saving love and advice in my case.

y'all know who you are, and I can't thank you for your compassion and determination enough. (I made it through!)

you guys have some weird azz accents :tounge:

I understand what you are saying; I'm an only child too. We are so used to be alone and dealing with things alone it is hard for us to reach out. Just doesn't occur to us. When it is spelled out to me, I think oh, that would be nice. But never would have considered it otherwise (thanks Sigmund). Just wouldn't have thought of it I guess.

Never heard of anyone else I know referring to the only child syndrome. It was nice to finally hear someone else say it.
