Unhappy :/ Left out?? - June 18th 2011, 04:36 PM

It's weird.. like im in a really good mood because i haven't "Self harmed" because i drew the butterfly and they worked last night.. But like on here , even though everyone is really helpful and kind, i cant help but still feel lonely, like on the chat every talk's to each other and knows each other and they don't really talk to me


It serves a lot of functions in my life. I use it as a way to punish myself, I use it as a way to medicate myself, I use it for the tension release when things get too strong or too built up. –ditto

Faking a smile like always

Regulars in chat know each other and are comfortable with talking to each other. You are relatively new to TeenHelp, aren't you? You need to give it a little more time. Feel free to jump into the conversation, bring up a new topic, and basically let your presence be known. If you don't talk, not many people will try and get you to talk! Get more acquainted with the community before you let yourself feel so down.

I agree, you have to talk more! It's not because we don't like quiet people, it's just because a lot of the time when someone is quiet they just aren't paying attention or aren't at the computer. We were all in the same position at one time, don't forget that.


"'Colie, you should never be surprised when people treat you with respect. You should expect it.'
I shook my head. 'You don't know--' I began. But, as usual, she didn't let me finish.
'Yes,' she said simply, 'I do know. I've watched you, Colie. You walk around like a dog waiting to be kicked. And when someone does, you pout and cry like you didn't deserve it.'
'No one deserves to be kicked,' I said.
'I disagree,' she said flatly. 'You do if you don't think you're worth any better...'"

I know what you mean, it can seem cliquey but most people are friendly and want to meet and talk to new people. Just join in conversations or start talking to people.

I ADORE talking to new people. To feel more included, but jump in the conversation. There are times when I still feel a bit left out, so then I but into the conversation, and it usually works great! <3

I love meeting new people online, especially in the chat here on Teen Help! It's tough to do it, but you need to take initiative and begin talking. People will most likely talk with you. If you don't get any replies, don't take it to offense. A lot of time, people are on a different screen/tab and have forgotten about chat. I'd love to see you back in the chat room sometimes soon!

I agree completely with the others.... a lot of people dont realise when everyone isnt talking so you have to put the effort in yourself. It's not that anyone wants to purposely exclude you at all

I find chat scary, but I've found the best thing to do is just throw yourself in there. Once you've started talking it gets easier and it's a lot of fun.

I completely understand how you feel. It can be difficult to join in the chat sometimes. I agree with everyone else who said you just have to put yourself out there. You'll meet a lot of great people here

You can try to join in on a conversation that's already happening or ask a question about something you enjoy. In general, I feel like people enjoy when others talk to them and ask about themselves, so try to find some common interests. Once you do, I'm sure you'll be chatting away in no time.

If I ever see you in there I'll definitely say hey!

Re: :/ Left out?? - July 4th 2011, 10:48 AM

I'll just add that new people take some getting to know. When I was new, nobody remembered me from chats and threads, nol one knew my real name and I didn't post a lot so wasn't well known.

But now I just get stuck in and it's made me all of a lot of friends, people recognse me and i've even earnt a nickname!

So it might take time for people to realise "Hey, it's Samantha!"
but you'll get there xx

Its never easy being the new person, especially in a big place like this!
The chatroom can be quite daunting but you've just got to let yourself go, and join in! Dont be afraid to speak up cos we're all friendly, no-one bites
