Yes! Thanks to all the regular IIN members making me laugh, and to the really weird freaks for making me feel more normal:P
Well I didn't know how preoccupied people were with farting, poop and sexual thoughts about relatives (precisely in that order) before I came here so thanks for that I guess.
No. Not at all.
Oh wait...
I DID come across the girl of my dreams on this site.
So there's that.
& since meeting her I've quit smoking, gotten a big payrise at work, bought a house & started planning my future (with her in it) - all at least partly due to her & therefore this site.
I guess that counts ;)
No one in particular really. I wasn't willing to listen to the good advice when I really should have. It was people in real life who snapped me into the reality and severity of my situation and I really don't think online advice could ever replace that, although I don't think I'd be as stubborn if I needed a sincere outsiders perspective again. This is because actions speak louder than words and just the act of observing a good situation vs. a bad situation had a pivotal affect on my course of action, along with the juxtaposition of being treated well vs. being treated poorly as I am rather than as I present myself on the interweb.
This place, in general though, has lead me to become more open and understanding and has saved me from certain kinds of loneliness at times. In a way it kept me grounded, reminding me of who I am when I needed it. It's also a good source of self-reflection and I kind of think of it as my diary.
This community as a whole has interesting dynamics. You see squabbles, meaningless chatter and sometimes really heartfelt advice.
Sometime about a year ago, I submitted a story asking about how appropriate it was for me to feel upset over a specific situation. I'm too prideful to ask the question to friends, but the answers I received from the community on that submission is something I'll remember for as long as I can. The users who commented were kind and insightful. The well-known trolls also stayed away from it.
One user helped me massively who unfortunatly isn't on iin amymore she, was the first person to talk to me on the site, I didn't like to interact with other users back then despite wanting to be able to but she dropped me a pm, over a while we talked about just stuff but also occasionally what was bothering me, she was really helpful, and patient haha, speaking to her provided me with laughs as well as genuinely helping me and my outlook in my then current situation
There's also a lot of current users I'd like to thank but I'm not big on name dropping, I would say that they know who they are but only a few do, I think there are many users on iin who don't know how much I like and appreciate their contributions to the site
I am thankful for peoples brutal honesty and disregard to human feelings. Really helps put things into perspective! And to those compassionate others that don't want to hurt your feelings, or feel bad. It takes all kinds of people to make the world turn and sometimes all you need is hug rather then a slap. :) Though a slap can be fun too.
I learned that i am more awesome than I ever imagined. And there's way too many sexual preference labels that confuse me.
I thank the ppl that have left comments here. Y'all actually helped me realize all the things this site and its users have gifted me.
thanks for the entertainmentn support to the good ole peoples
and a special dry raw sandpapery fuck you to the haters
I won't list names since naming users might run the risk of getting your post deleted. There are quite a few users I want to thank. Some are still here and some seem to have disappeared. I'm grateful for the helpful advice I've received, the things they've done that have made me laugh, and the ones that have brought up topics that have actually made me use my brain and think.
