Safety in numbers is the last resort in my opinion although it seems to be the most popular choice for most people. Just look at it like this…..when things are going great…..popularity is always the greatest attraction…..but when it all goes south…..even the penguins run away…LMAO RATF PML
I don’t know if I agree with you that popularity is always the greatest attraction. Popularity never lasts, not really. Some people get fed up of vying for someones attention and they get jealous and nasty and end up targeting that popular person with nastiness. I tend to appreciate the ‘popular’ people and let them get on with it as I find the quiet people more interesting. I rather enjoy finding a gem in the midst of all the nonsense of the popularity competitions often found in chatrooms.
I look for that one interesting funny character who stands out but is so overlooked by those with the louder voices. I am attracted to intense characters who have a hidden passion but have found myself being distracted by the opposite of what I would naturally be interested in lately. I have focused too much on the ‘misunderstood’ only to discover that they really were not ‘misunderstood’ at all. I suppose I was searching for people who are like me. I got that wrong repeatedly. I am working on not doing that again.
The people who crave validation by being liked are transparent and although are often really nice people what you see on the surface is really all that they are about. I don’t believe you cant really trust a person who wishes to be liked so much because they are too focused on it to be any kind of real friend to you.
A real friend I think is someone who will speak out when someone needs to speak out knowing they will get abuse for it. Doing the right thing in my opinion is more important than whether or not the ‘majority’ likes you. Not being someones friend just because ‘no one else likes them’ is very prominent in chatrooms. Shame really cos often people get judged and overlooked unfairly.
If your penquin runs away, it just was not your kind of penquin
I agree misterq, you are very deep and thoughtful. I think you are often overlooked.
Although we may not be able to predict the future I do believe that when we get to know someone quite well over a long period of time we can often predict their behaviours.
If we can predict peoples behaviour then we can have foresight into how things are going to ‘pan’ out which can in fact change future outcomes for example if we can predict that someone is going enhance or negatively affect our futures that we can take steps to either encourage them to stick around and be in our lives or to eradicate them from our lives.
Some people can bring out the best in you, some people can bring out the worst. Even one single relationship can affect your state of mind and your actions/decisions which can affect your future.
For myself personally I have been coerced into making quite bad decisions in the past by taking the wrong persons advice and it has affected the outcome of my ‘future’.
I think if we can work out who is good and who is bad for us then we can ‘predict’ a better future for ourselves.
Once you can do that, your future is not tainted by people who do not have your best interests OR your future is made all the better for the people that are positive and actually care about your wellbeing. Some people can crap things up for you merely by distracting you with irrelevant rubbish. Some people can make things wonderful by being positive and encouraging.
Life is about learning and making mistakes. It is also about realising that some people will drag you down and ruin what you have for their own selfish reasons.
Every now and then we do meet a truly wonderful genuine person who will stick by us and be there expecting nothing back from us but mutual kindness. We will make them feel better and make them laugh when they are down and they will do the same for us in return.
Once we have found those people, our future can only be so much better than it would have been before.
We may not be able to ‘predict’ our future but we can take steps to give a good outcome a fighting chance.
Great thread thank you, very thought provoking x

I picked a load of onions the other day and when my basket was full i heard my self saying to my self……..well that’s chalot….LOL
You know I had to re-read this like 3 times to get it LOL
That’s a lot – that’ chalot lol
You are very consistent mister q
That’s what I enjoy about you
You seem to be light and sunny
And I think you’re often rather funny
Even when you’re being a ‘git’
And I have to cringe a little bit
Your mind may appear to be like a joke book
But you are always worth a second look
One day two onions, who were best friends, were walking together down the street. They stepped off the curb and a speeding car came around the corner and ran one of them over. The uninjured onion called 911 and helped his injured friend as best he was able. The injured onion was taken to emergency at the hospital and rushed into surgery. After a long and agonizing wait, the doctor finally appeared. He told the uninjured onion, “I have good news, and I have bad news. The good news is that your friend is going to pull through.” “The bad news is that he’s going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life”.

nem is a coward who sells out to the highest bidder
Nem is a disgusting weak person who wont ever admit to what she is and will always fuck her mates over
You’re right about one thing. I’m not your mate.
I stood by you time and time again, defended you, never got involved with the trolling. Listened to you moan how evil Alfie was only to see you chatting to him hours later.
Refused your offers of pics of other chatters, kept your secrets.
I know full well you have my pics, how you got them, and who you’ve given them to. And you have the nerve to bleat on people posting your pics?
I’ve made a lot of mistakes but you excel in driving away every single person you chat to, including me.
Darling – Mizzy never took pics of her hairy vagina with objects wedged inside them or up her backside.
Someone took a pic of her after a booby flash.
you took pics of yourself with insertions
Those pics exist.
You are very charlie big banana cos Alfie and morg are on your side?
LOL
You must feel like a queen right now.
:)
Do you think you could be instrumental in taking mizzy down?
And you will stand there to hordes of applause?
Her ‘failed site’ that is now ranked on alexa and getting more traffic than chatfriends which has been online for longer than jibjabchat lol
And your sour grapes cos I told you I would never make you a mod due to your association with a known convicted paedophile and the fact you sent out pic of your own child on chatfriends and was banned for it. I would never have anyone associated with paedophile moderate for my site. Froggie must have banned and reported you for a reason. And Alfie does like to chat about underage sex, you two are a really good match. Your sexual preferances seem to go well. I just was never manky enough. You needed to find eachother.
Enjoy being mong and Alfies tool and throwing me under the bus.
They will troll me for you x
Til they get bored.
I am brave lol
I speak the truth.
Whatcha whatcha gon do?
See thing is, vanity is really nothing. So people post up disgusting pic of you? everyone thinks you are ugly and disgusting and a pig? But when you have two kids a mother and a beautiful grandchild who love you for who you are you realise that none of that even matters.
Reality is, you are loved. And no ugly pic of you will change that.
