Sorry... I cornered the market on that one here. Besides, stupid statements/reactions to things makes everyone else feel superior. So in a way, you would be performing a public service.

There's enough stupidity out there already.

 

On second thought, no, there isn't enough stupidity out there. Humanity still exist, sadly.

Remember, none of us are as stupid as all of us.

The only person who knows who I am is Ashal, maybe the moderators if they can see my e-mail.

This wasn't the 'Lurkers and Nobodies' I was looking for . . . . .

 

Spoiler

 

I myself became 'active' once I needed a question answered and found help was plentiful. Since then I found enough value to become a supporter. This is as close to 'social media' as I'll ever get.

[Papitas]

Well, I sometimes lurk around here but barely interact with people because that's the way I actually am IRL, so it's consistent with me.

 

I sometimes help if I can, but only if I have something to say that no one has already said. That's why I barely help xD

 

And I never care to argue about political things and all the "-ist" stuff people really like to waste their time on nowadays.

Which seems to be everywhere; sometimes even here.

 

I live in a 3rd world shithole country. Everyone tends to be more equal when there are food and water shortages along with high inflation.

[Mez558]

I tried lurking irl once.

Ended up with a restraining order against me...

 

Oh well, you live and learn... Well, you live at least...

[beefers]

I guess that would make me a 'lurker'.  I simply find most topics here aren't that interesting and I don't have anything to add.

You've just got yourself a new brand of microwave food. It really does sound like one.

 

Like ramen?

Never tried the real deal or are we still strictly referring to cup noodles? ?

There! On the edges of heated discussions, arguments, commentaries! Them! They just silently watch and absorb, hardly ever giving any indication they're there. They might add a comment here or there and quickly disappear into the nothingness again. Why don't they participate more? Why do they keep their distance? And more importantly, who are they?

 

Have you ever cornered and gotten to know a lurker? 

 Congratulations: you succesfully summoned a(nother) lurker.?

 

First Post on LL, even on this backup account... since I don't know what ducking email I used to create my first and older one... won’t bother trying to find it. I wasn't doing anything with it anyways (probably) and it was never 'active' in a sense... I'm just sad about the three or four years of lurking on the clock ?  Maybe if I recover it, I'll keep using it to lurk...

 

I feel tempted to write something, probably forgetting it after the deed is done. So, to answer OP — from my POV — I can't talk for others nor do I want to speculate. It won't be as eloquent as it used to be, my English is pretty rusty, and I've forgotten the more elegant words (and kind of lost my will to put that much effort in it). Wall of text incoming, sorry not sorry, I was bored.

 

Anyways:

For me, it is simply the fact that I have a phase, where I do like to interact with people for some time and when its over... well, let's say I keep my distance and will stop interacting after a while, because I'd feel exhausted. I tend to pour too many emotions(?) or effort, if you will — into relationships and get only superficial nonsense in return. It happened way too often, that I'd invest more than I'd get in return. Not happening anymore. I can count my friends on one hand, which is pretty sad, but I manage somehow, disappointment hurts more than that. Well, that turned to shit fast. Besides that, I despise the habit of some random-ass keyboard warriors insulting people or just their piss-poor attitude. Some posts in this forum reek of arrogance and shit-posting that I'd want to avoid this kind individuals at all costs. To say it frankly: I have enough shit on my plate, don't need more from some internet-hobos.

 

Main point: I do not want pornographic content and sexual stuff to be a too big part of my life and thoughts. I'm an author and feel often very disturbed by sexual thoughts if they pop up randomly in my thinking process and probably interrupting the flow — I've to add that I daydream a lot. They (horny thoughts) sometimes influence my creativity to a point, where I really have to look out, to not include (highly) inappropriate parts and bits into an absolutely swf-story in my head. Even more if said story is for a younger audience. That is a giant minefield. If you start thinking about sexual body mutations for a silly browser game, you do not want this stuff leaking into other works. I sometimes hate that the brain works that way "like, it goes: "oh well, since you are working on this plot problem for this light-hearted butterfly-ish story, let me passively solve the other highly porn-related problems with giant leaking tits and how too big balls can get in your way - literally". Best.timing.ever. Thanks for that, brain.

 

I do keep my distance as a defense mechanism for various reasons. And also because I don't have much to contribute to most common topics, I'm more absorbed in my own head and getting my ass to write some cool stuff and probably never publish it. ?

 

Third questions is a tricky one. I hate to talk much about myself on a more personal level. I'm obsessed with creativity and thinking or re-inventing the wheel for …stuff, mostly fantasy. I'm hosting a regular DnD 5e session since four months in my own little silly universe and have the pleasure to torture lead three friends into the unknown of a thicc plot-jungle long-term adventure. Our fourth mongrel jumped off the cool-bois-bandwagon and prefers to get his dick sucked by his gf — in short: he's no time for his bros, what a traitor. Yeah, his character will fucking burn (well his evil clone, I'm not an asshole enough to punish the character for the deeds of his creator)

Anyways, I'm not relaxed enough to share more about myself besides some very basic stuff. I'm from germoney Germany, above 20 but not older than 40; 6'4, or 193 cm for civilized people?. Oh, and I was in school the quiet kid and still am even online, yes, that's boring as hell. I rarely talk IRL, if I'm not sure that I have something worthwhile to contribute, which is usually not the case — at least to the displeasure of most people who know me. Hmm what else? I can listen well, which is supposedly a positive thing at times.

 

And no, I never cornered another lurker... well technically yes, some girl with some serious trust issues. I won some of her trust after seven years, so that's that. Got cornered myself? Never. I keep a lot to myself and I don't want to sound too presumptuous if I say: it's really hard to get to know me. I'm a bit like the mentioned girl in that regard, minus the trust issues. If you stick around and open up and invest actual effort, I'd respond in kind, but that hardly ever happened, except two people I met years ago. Don't know, guess I'm just weird and tired of people at some times. Hmm that doesn't paint me in a good light... won't say more though, don't judge me on this superficial text as it is: superficial, a giant waste of time. Do I make a bow for the audience? Nahw... *walks slowly away*

 

Welp, that's it. A wall of text. Whoever reads all of this: good for you, but better for me, since I successfully wasted your time.

@KoolHndLuke, you asked, I answered and sacrificed the golden chance to post my first post on the 11.11.2022 to match the fist year anniversary of this account (11.11.2021), you'd better be thankful - not that I really cared, I just find it hilarious. ?

Most of them simply either don't have anything valuable to contribute and they now it or don't want to go to the effort only to add almost nothing.

 

And then there are people like me who comment anyway.

[belegost]

I'm here for the mods, not flapping the maw.

[Idyll]

You know, nobody's anybody... Except for Ashal. Most definitely.
