Ever feel unwanted here on YT??

So,while newbies are often welcomed with open arms, it does take awhile until people get to know them. MG, I've been posting here since 2005, and have not been shy, but I still feel that there are many here that I don't know all that well. It takes time. That doesnt mean you have to prove yourself, just give it time until people get to know you.

And believe me, even now, if I am thinking of purchasing something from someone, or deciding where I fall on an issue that a member has posted, I will go back and read thru past posts. Often, knowing a little more about a person helps to create the context within which I understand what they are saying.

You know what, THANK YOU for that I completly understand now, that makes so much sense that you explained it that way.


THANK YOU very much for helping me understand, I'm the type of person that tries to save the world and wants everyone to be happy in it , but now that I stop and think about how you explained it I see EXACTLY what you are saying.

I agree so much w/Amber. I'm sewing and occasionally sell on YT, but if it came down to being a member here, or strictly promoting my items, I would always be a MEMBER. I've made some great friends, learned a lot, and love the sense of community that is here.

I've actually almost stopped selling my items here and when my business launches, have made the decision to NOT become a featured seller or really advertise my products on this site. I've seen hurt feelings, felt hurt feelings on my end, and seen a lot of underhanded things transpire when you get into the whole selling business.

I value my friends here first and won't want anything to compromise that. There are plenty of other places to advertise my items, but there are not plenty of other places to find FRIENDS and information like this one .

I feel really sad when I see people only on here to sell and advertise and not experience the site and community because they're missing out on a lot.

I guess I'm in the dark, because I haven't seen any of it. What IS going on? And who is picking on Kathryn? I still haven't figured it out. I guess I've got my head in the clouds or something, LOL.

Maybe someone will pm me and tell me what underhanded things are transpiring, please.

YEAH still waiting on my refund on that one, but hey I guess I handed her $

I think to me, it was more of just a general feeling when I started selling, I don't think to me at least it's been anyone in particular. I don't know who is picking on Kathryn, but I feel really bad it's happening..
