I never saw myself as a thread maker but A while ago I was very active in thread making within this forums. Now days I tend to do more posting than thread making,
The reason for my wanting to write threads was to see if I had an ability to be understood in the written form, to air my views and to see what the responses would be. This gave me the indication to know if people understood me within the written form as I had never communicated in that form before.
I spoke in the chat rooms but that was so very different from this forums, here you could ask more questions not always related to sex, but could ask those too, like the one that I asked about how to squirt and people here explained in such a way that they helped me get past the point where I was getting stuck.
I went through a hard time last year when my mum was diagnosed very suddenly with cancer, I raised difficult questions of which I am grateful for people that responded to help me understand the way I was feeling was normal. Other made me laugh when I felt like crying, they kept me thinking positive thoughts.
I like to raise the odd topic sometimes political debate as you get a feel of people and they can make you sway your way of thinking. I like to think, I like to question, I learn, listen and question more to people that disagree with my own opinions and that’s when we learn more,
Just lately I have become more of a poster, I am now just wandering about having fun but pop up from time to time with the odd thread.
I had to overcome my own insecurities to write a thread, my first I was so scared wondering what type of response I would get, how I would be perceived by others, would I be hounding out for saying the wrong thing it can make you become paranoid at times but I soon overcome this weird feeling it produced in me.
It was scary being new here and standing there taking things people were saying to me in the beginning, as some are very cutting with their remarks, some just try and rile things up, some you have disagreements with. But I am glad I stuck it out though thick and thin as sometimes I wanted to walk away and cancel my account, as sometimes it is hard to put your head above the parapet to be shot down, as some like to do. But generally you will find they do little in thread making but more in just posting.
I would like to see more people post threads, I am sure more would like to, so take the plunge stick with you convictions but don’t get personal with your responses and you will see like me you will survive here, without knowing or meeting anyone here I am still here writing, It doesn’t bother me if people don’t like what I have to say, I still have a right to say it as you do too.
Are you still flirting in here?

I was talking to my friend whos children have autism about autism we think some people get mixed up with ADD or ADHD and think they are all the same thing.
We were saying we believe a lot of people have autistic traits, but just do not realise they have, so put them down as their own querky ways.
The Austisic spetrum is vast and I think most of us could appear there somewhere.
Hi Katie,
I would like to say I think this thread is a very good topic and well written to try and explain what is a very complicated subject due the different elements as you put and so many variations.
I am not ignorant in the matter of knowing some of the information you have written but having no personal experience of any of the above, does leave a lot open for personal interpretation.
How you have explained things and peoples comments after has been more of an insight for me, and I would like to say thanks for writing such a great topic for others like me that have no experience in this subject.
Well done :thumbup:

I wonder sometimes when people say they are open minded, as to me in every walk of life every place I go I see people are very judgemental of something.
The reason I said this too just look at the way people would look and stare at someone with a disability as an example.
Years ago I was told I was going to lose my baby at 36 weeks of pregnancy at that point she was still alive and the hospital worked hard to find ways of saving her sadly to no avail.
I was told if she was saved she would have been disabled and possibly have downs syndrome, I was happy to face whatever was wrong with her as she would have had love and caring but what I was most fearful of was the way she would be accepted into society. How others would pity her and mock her as she wouldn’t have been so called normal, but however still a human being. This showed me that I still felt I lived in a judgemental society, no matter how accepting people think they are there is still that element strongly among us.
95% of people I have found have a good side to them even though on first impression it isn’t always evident it is there if you take time to look, what I feel is people would always see the maybe not so good side of people’s character and then they will forever judge them.
We can assign those points to any form of judgement in many forms. Until we question ourselves on how we form our own opinions of others and on what basis those opinions are formed, and stop our own expectations on others being just that our own expectations and realise we are all different and start accepting that. I sadly feel this society will always be narrow minded and closed.
Things I feel are changing as we are becoming more educated and have the ability to question not just others but ourselves too. Because until we question ourselves we will never see how our own mind works. People say they want change the way forward I believe is look within ourselves, but be careful you might not like what you see. But bare in mind the mind can always been changed as you have control of that but not control of others to live up to your expectation.
