Supposed Friends
For the past 5 months I've been apart of the cups community, I've been happy with the outstanding support I've received from this platform, however, lately I have encountered multiple problems that seem to arise, seemingly out of nowhere, and it's disheartening and grossly disappointing to say the least. While engaging with listeners, and I've only had experience with a few, I can safely say, none of them have offered anything that one would consider helpful. The ignorance and failing ability to keep a one on one conversation going is, at best, the lack of a good screening process and or the inability to monitor individuals who seek to become listeners. I frequent certain chat rooms that at certain times, have cliques that want no parts of members that don't fit in to their circle, there's no "hi", theres no response to posted comments, and even occaisional rude behavior. I also feel that the one room, which I used to love attending, has fallen prey to this type of reality, and I find that only one or two supposed friends will talk with me, the others whom I have had great conversations with in the past, has seemingly fallen out of favor with my presence. I am now facing a debate with myself to consider whether I should continue using cups, or whether it's time to seek other ventures. I had the belief that I had a lot to offer in terms of helping others, sadly, it's become mundane and lost it's ability to keep my attention.
