I have read you autism thread, and I have no doubt you are a kind person. Do you know the reasoning of following someone?

 

[mikie1011]

no not really im being honest and i respect that you dont want too be followed on here im still learning this site

 

[mikie1011]

im going enjoy this site and do best on here

 

[macraven]

Following someone is used when you have the same likes and interests as another poster. If you are following a person you will get a notification that they posted in a thread and it makes it easy for you to find it.
So, for instance, I just posted in the eyeliner thread. I'm guessing you don't really have much interest in what eyeliner is best for the Florida heat, so using the logic of why one follows, doesn't really mesh for us.
Now, if you were following one who is a proponent of using waterproof mattress pads and they posted on such a thread, then that follow would make sense.

Mike--the people I know with autism usually appreciate very direct advice--and I can tell that you really ant to get along ell here and to make friends, so I have some suggestions for you based on what I have seen from you so far (which is not everything). This is intended to help you and is not criticism--I know social skills and cues can be very hard for many on the spectrum, and an online community has different 'rules' than in person so it can be even more confusing.

So ta couple of things to think about or try:

1. Either confine your posts to your autism thread--or if you start new threads, limit yourself to no more than two per day. The reason for this is that you cannot really participate in a CONVERSATION in 30 different places at once---and the point of the threads is to interact with one another. When you post 10 or more threads all in one day, it give the impression to most people that you are trying to 'take over' the board or that you just ant to talk TO us and not WITH us.

2, Read other threads here; ones you did not start. Try to pay attention to how others respond and interact on them and then add a response of your own (I have only seen you do this once, on a thread about celebrity deaths--and that as a god post by the way). Again, this helps show that you care about us and about hat e have to say and ant to talk with us rather than just make everything about your interests. Also notice that many posts on many threads to not get quoted or directly replied to or likes--this is normal and does not mean you are being ignored or are not liked.

3. Consider only following someone ho you notice you have a lot in common with and really want to be sure you do not many any of their posts.

If this is directed at me--I think you are already following me. If not, you can do so; it will not bother me--but you may not be interested in the threads I post in.
