Mm I think we all make mistakes at times. But one thing I've learned is= lots of times we like people at face value and get along well with them. (On a casual level)

But if you begin to spend some/lots of 1on1 time with them. You can realize that either A) you don't have much in common or the way they socialize don't interest you much
Or B ) they have some flaws or qualities that you clash with

So sometimes things aren't mishaps. It just isn't meant to be.
Friendships and relationships fail many times because people just aren't compatible
 
Since Sweet asked about friends. I also have a question for anyone

Has there ever been someone at FCN that lots of people seemed to like.
But for some reason you just clashed with this person or really disliked them? Did you understand why? Or question if you were oddly crazy? Lol
Hmmm not that I know about but .... if it was the case I would have do as I always do just move on amd let him/her be. We can be everybodys cup of tea and everybody cant be your cup of tea. Well liked or not.
 
Also for everyone

At FCN are you an observant person when it comes to people? Why or why not.
And is it important in your opinion
I do observ and i see a lot ... however i normaly dont say much about what i see or not.

I believe it is important to keep your eyes open amd know what is going on it helps you in some ways to avoid drama and also from making stupit choices.

But in general i just like to oberved the people of fcn humans is fasinating creatures.
 
1. What brings you back to FCN again and again?

Primarily the friends I've made. I enjoy interacting with those people and enjoy coming online, seeing what they post, being silly with them, and also being flirty and playful as well at times.

Also it's a place where I can be myself without being judged. I'm sure some people here have judged what I like and enjoy, but for the most part I've found this to be an accepting community as long as you are respectful of others.

2. What would you say is the most valued thing you have learn here ?

Just be yourself. I know to a certain extent we are all anonymous here and there are parts of our lives we don't bring here. However, I've found just being who you are goes a long way here. It's best not to pretend to be someone you aren't or act like you enjoy things that you don't.

Another important thing is to be respectful of others. Just like in 'real life' there are going to be people here you don't like. I do my best to either steer clear of those people or keep my interactions to a minimum. If I do interact with them I am respectful unless they have done something to lose the courteous of being respectful. Wow I have no idea if that made sense, but I'm going with it.

3. Did you got to know someone here with whom you have get along well but then damage the friendship by saying the wrong thing and now wish you can change it?

Haven't done this yet. I think I have at times not reached out enough to get to know someone better. At times I'm reserved (shocking I know) and don't take chances. I have it in my mind 'Well if they don't respond it means they can't stand me.' Maybe that is true or not, but I'll never know if I don't take a chance. Trying to get myself to reach out more and tell people how I feel/get to know them better, but it isn't always easy for me.

Exactly this I couldn't articulate it any better than @PoliteandNaughty has

What a lovely answer and well say i can say it better myself thank you for taking the time to answer :)
 
@Oldgymrat would you cook on an evening with the boys and if yes: what would it be?

@Victoriax besides a magazine about pot pourri, what kind of stuff would publish a magazine about of you no financial or creative restrictions?

I have always enjoyed using my skills more for friends and family than for my career. Seeing strangers smile is cool but having your loved ones beaming is so much more satisfying.

The meal depends on the attendees @Slopps . For you id start with a cast iron griddles brie. Crisp the rind let the insides melt. Served with roasted garlic croustades and an apricot caramelized onion compote with just a hint of sage.
Hard brine a porterhouse pork chop in apple cider cinnamon and shallots . Grill them. Served with a beer and cider gravy. Again for you. An augratin 4 cheese potato ... then what else but a cream cheese cake for dessert..... grills on!!!!

There have been a couple of people who sort of rubbed me the wrong way based on my interaction with them in the forums. I think it was due to me reading too much into their responses. After thinking on it more at the time I believe it was just a case of the person having fun/being sarcastic. I don't believe there was any ill intentions on the part of the other person. After all I tend to overanalyze everything and doing that with limited interactions in a forum setting probably wasn't a good idea.
 
Also for everyone

At FCN are you an observant person when it comes to people? Why or why not.

I do my best to be an observant person. I try to pay attention to how people treat others (are they usually friendly and engaging or rude and dismissive), how accepting they are of new people who post, if they tend to cause or start drama, and if they are respectful or not. Obviously one can't read everything someone posts, but you get a fairly good idea how a person conducts theirselves here after a while.

Sometimes my observations about a person are correct, but there are other times when I have totally misjudged a person after interacting with them more.

is it important in your opinion


I do think it is somewhat important that one is observant here. We all (well most of us) are here to have fun, interact, unwind, maybe be flirty and playful, and perhaps even make friends. While doing those things I think a person should be observant just as you would while interacting in a 'real world' environment. However, as I mentioned in my previous post, you can't always get the proper tone from text and can certainly misjudge a person's intention in what they post. That is why you have to be careful in characterizing a person unless they are disrespectful or a drama king/queen. Then all bets are off. : )

1. The games. The interaction. Those beeping and buzzing noises.;)
2. It is okay to say no.
3. Yes. But...I don't wish to change things...all things change in time.

There are some times in the chat room where I just can't get into what people are talking about. I think our ideas about what this shared space is for differ. Perhaps there is age/experience difference that is a bit of a barrier...I'm not sure. However, I don't think it is crazy to dislike people. There are 7.3billion humans on planet earth...you would have to be some kind of ethereal super-being to understand/like/get along with all of them.
