Can I be honest here?
 

First off I would like to thank everybody for all the help that was offered to me when I needed it. I dunno what I would have done the past year without YT here to help me with my first yorkie...Zoe.

I have been really reluctant to write this post in fear that people would take it the wrong way but here goes...

I feel really left out. I try really hard to get to know people here but I feel that there already is a click here and members that are not part of that click somehow are left out. I have been on this forum for almost a year and noone knows who I am or what ZOe looks like which is fine because I don't think I am able to remember everyone's yorkies but I try.

I just feel left out thats all...

Oh, I have met one friend here...Jen Carlson and because of her I am forever grateful!

I feel the same sometimes, I don't feel I'm part of any clique, but I also don't feel like I'm being deliberately left out. Maybe you and I could form our own Clique. "The Outsiders"

I always have been a bit of a loner. In fact I surprised myself by being so active in thei forum. I've jouined forums before and lost interest after a couple of weeks.

ARE U NUTS !!! You're a great member girl !!! There really is no click - just some of us with bigger mouths than others ....(not me of course) :D lol - but SOME....it really isn't clickish here at all - just people who post more than others.

I talk to EVERYONE and I swear some days if it weren't for making the avatars I'd miss so many new people - I know thats cheating but it really does help me get to know people really well.....-

What I suggest is take the time to pm people or start converstations about things that you're interested in - you never know how many of us have things in common......PLEASE DON't FEEL left out !!

This site is HUGE and it's impossible to answer or see all posts ...I try really hard - (see post count):p but I know I miss alot....I try to always post to pictures...that's my thing & if I can I'll post to them ALL ....but it just moves way too fast for anyone to be able to do that now.

HUGS TO YOU !!! Sorry you're feeling like that but glad you spoke up too about it. I think lots of people probably feel like you do and hopefully everyone will realize that lots of people READ the site - but not everyone always posts or takes the time to get to know people ...with a site this big it does take time....but You ARE noticed - and Zoey is a little doll - time for a new avatar though don't you think ??

Don't feel bad I've been here a month and almost always feel lost. The advise is great when requested but other then that.... I plan on contributing, and also become apart of the next gift exchange. Have you done that? Anyway I'd love to join the outsiders:p clique

me too!!!!
 

dont feel left out theres always someone to talk to here !

hey you live in queens we should have the babies play ! :D

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
how come you said what I wanted to say in ONE sentence and I spent 10 minutes typing ??

I need to shut up more :D

AWW! I'm sorry you guys feel left out. :( I'm glad you spoke up about it. I'm sure no one is trying to make anyone feel left out on purpose. I feel bad about it now, lol.

I was really shy when I first came here. and I felt kinda left out. But seriously, just start random conversations with people!

*hugs*

hahaha..awww..you guys!!

YEs, the ousiders we ARE!! I would love to join the gift exchange...did it start yet?

Thanks!! V...you are always sweet as usual but how can you understand? you are the most popular one;) JK...about the understanding but you are the most popular!

CLiques are bad- I prefer being one big happy family! :p

sorry you feel that way i just started here today and have already got in trouble over a word lol i'm a people person if you wanna be friends.

no I have turbo typing fingers - big difference lol .....and I meant what I said - you ARE noticed .....I post on a Diet site sometimes and know just what you mean about not quite fitting in - but I never took it personal because it's just natural to feel like that.....

Kristi is right - there is always someone here to talk to ...and talking via pm's is a really good way to get to know people even better -

hahahaha I saw your thread - and you didn't get in trouble...I think it was more to help you in your search - People mean well I promise !!!:) :) and good for you sticking around.

Me too

I'll talk to anybody, I'm very opinionated but I try to be respectful and I try to word things so not to offend. I have noticed that some monikers or postees come in and defend each other in topics I've read. That may be because they are personal friends or have formed what you may think is cliqkish. I will hop in anyones post, reply and {{{{{{{{scramble}}}}}}} out of there whether they want my opinion or not. LOL! I get a lot of info on here so just call me the post buster. I'm busting in posts if I can catch them all and if they are of interests. Someone just typed, you can't catch them all, & hell I reply in old posts that come back on top. :D I'm new on here but I like it and can "click" with anyone.

oh and cchu - to share with you - I remember when you joined ...wanna know why ?? :p

Your user name 'Cchu' always reminded me of a sneeze and my girls LOVE it when I sneeze - when I first saw it I wanted to say Gazuntheit ! (don't know how to spell that but you know what the word) ....but my point was - you did get noticed lol !!! :D :D :D :D :D

OH OH didn't see your post but I'm betting you used the "T" word. LOL I'll go check it out.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but sorry you feel that way! :love-hug3

hahahaha...thanks guys!!!

I will def be more OPEN!! Thank you for all the support!!! I am glad I posted this thread because alot of friendships are blooming!! I feel it!!

V- YES!! I thought my last name - CHU would be the death of me!!! Everyone called me "ahhh chuuu" or "Choo CHoo train" growing up!!

I'm glad your girls like it when you say my name!!

Ha I guessed it. I'm not sure why so many get so horrified over that word. They know that newbies don't understand why it's bad.

yep lol
 

it was the t word

LOL...me sneezing or even saying a word like your name ensures a zillion kisses from my girls...they lose their little minds when I sneeze ...it's like a game to them and so yes - you are noticed girl hehe -

and you're right - you did good posting this & you'll see new friends ..... you just opened a door for others ...so good for you - :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Hugs

more pictures of Zoe would be nice too :D :D :D :D

DONT' FEEL THAT WAY!! You're not an outsider! It's just that some people post more than others and it's human nature to be drawn to those people who's names you see all the time.

But to be honest you're going to find cliques here and anywhere you go.

I'm glad you posted and I would love to get to know you better! And I know I'm not alone!

Hey I'm from NY too! Well now I'm in "the country", NJ! LOL!!

You naughty girl!!! LOL :D

Another Jersey Girl! Woohoo :p

:lol tears Wow, you had a lot of nerve coming on here and using the "t" word! :lol tears You are a WHOLE lot braver than I am......

I see YT as a HUGE extended family.

Is that what they are calling jersey these days?? The Country!! that is toooooo funny!! I guess it is kind of like the country! Well then, when will you be visiting the BIG CITY? I live in Queens so it takes a commute to the city life for me as well...let's say I'm in Suburbia?

Thanks again for all the posts, PM's and support!! I love YT!!

Oh cool!! I think we're outnumbered by the Texans though!;)

Well I was kind of in the "country" before moving to Jersey. I lived in the forgotten borough of Staten Island!!!! Queens is almost the city to me!:D

I worked in Manhattan though and what a commute. Ya know we don't have subways on SI!!!! LOL!!

HAY !!!! No Joisey cliques and no texas cliques :eek: KIDDING !!! ...this could turn into a big get-together for you all in that part of the country -

and see CHRISTINE .....We like you ...WE REALLY REALLY like you lol -
(quote from Sally Fields in some movie) :D and Carloyn - texas outnumbers everything when it comes to size - I want OUT so bad...I'd move back east in a heartbeat if my family wasn't here.
