It's not a case of being popular or not being popular. You must remember that most here have problems and do not deliberately ignore others. When they have their good days they are ready and willing to help where they can. When it's bad days they are feeling neglected and alone just as all are from time to time. Although you may not see it as often as you would like there is a cameraderie here that joins us all. Over time friendships will develop. Just give it more time. It is hard for some to open up enough to accept other people into their lives. We have all felt the bitterness of being or feeling alone at one time or another. Like I said, just give it time.

I am sorry, I am new, I read all the posts, and most I don't reply to, I am new to this addiction, and my withdrawals. And really know nothing about it. But I will keep a look out for you questions...

I kind of feel the same way too, but you cant' take it personal. I also haveent' gotten a lot of friends, I guess I'm not in the popular crowd or havent' been here long enough. Most of the help I've received has been great and I've gotten great support, and I will continue to post (when I can give an answer or can lend a supportive hand)

I will say that titles do change how and when people will answer others posts. No one is purposefully trying to avoid you or your questions.

I usually don't respond because i have never taken sub...So i really have no experience with it...SO sorry you feel this way, but i am sure that is why others don't, like godezzofchoas, said i dont' want to give the wrong advice.

hi there!! sorry you don't get many responses, I'm sure its nothing personal :) I probably haven't responded to some of your posts only because I don't know much about sub.
Sounds like your doing great though, and don't be discouraged! Hope your doing well and keep up the good work!! :)

Sometimes things like the time of day/night makes a big difference or even the day of the week. Dont ever not ask for help because there is always someone that will come to help and support you!!

Hey Mimi170:
It happens to me too on the addiction side of the site. I rarely get responses.  I sometimes wonder if it's the way I word things too.  I'm sorry you feel that way!  Sometimes, we all need to feel wanted and liked.  I think sometimes, people here know each other from being here together for so long and unintentionally go to the people they know best instead.  I don't think it's intentional.  I'm sorry you feel that way. I just sent you a private message from your post on the social side.  Hang in there hun!!!
