Reasons that you left Lit

[evesdream]

SO, you created an other you, with a name in lower case or all caps, full of suggestion or full of numbers. Is this place a habit, a video game, a spectacle or just a thing you do?

Are you here to see the alternatives? To watch a good fight? To get off? To laugh? (Are you not entertained!?!) Maybe it's just to check in on friends and to sometimes get your belly rubbed. Or to find that story with the guy who ran a Real Doll brothel and there was a werewolf and five lesbians.

I miss reading kbate, Sonny Limatina, medjay, MechaBlade, Phelia, s'lara, Olivianna, Quint, plus a bunch o' other people who stop in, but never stay for long.

Actually the point of the thread is to post this -- lord it made me laugh today

If People Left Parties Like They Leave Facebook


P.S. The poll is addressed to anyone who's left Lit forever!, since most of you are still reading and running vanity searches on New Year's Eve and on your birthday. ;-)

A pill of reality. Left Lit twice, the first time I made a thread about it.

If I don't balance things in my life, my perspective shrinks to the size of a pinhole. With my eye pressed against the barrier, flush against it, all I can hear or feel on my side is myself while watching other members in a hyper dramatic reality on the other side, through this tiny hole. And that's all that exists as I strain for connection and interaction through it.

Any time I leave, I do it to open the view and let my body experience something real. Being here, it's a lazy kind of socialization and effortless to get sucked into treating the site like a physical location that exists somewhere.

I've left several times for months and up to 2 years. The reasons why were usually similar..***** happens. Lit is just a place I come to when I don't have the physical or mental energy to do something more demanding. These days it's usually on break at work, or when my client is asleep and I'm only on for respite.

It once had more meaning to me, but a few heartaches, some lost friends and a lot of changes in life have given a different perspective.

Because this place causes nothing but shattered dreams and heartache?

Really?

I'm sad for you.

Really?

I'm sad for you.

Of course it is. That's why I'm here everyday.

Just another bend in the river of broken dreams?

I don't call it leaving, I call it taking a sabbatical.

I have done it off and on over the years.

And man, have I been here for a lot of years.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I've decided I'm going to take a one year Lit sabbatical once I hit 50,000 posts.

I left because bumping into the good memories was painful at the time. I didn't stay away long. I considered leaving for good once when the other half of those good memories stuck what I can only assume was an inquisitive head in one day. I felt, at the time, intruded upon and wanted to grieve alone and I did not want to have to self censor.

I realized that I had no desire to say anything that would require censoring, and this was always my place Allahdammit, so I toughed it out and it was fine. Nothing came of it. I did have a relatively neutral word with her sister because I hadn't the balls for a direct conversation and that may have impacted it.

These days, I would wave hello, bask in the reflected glory of having once been, and go on about my business.

Go on a journey, do some cooking, build a shelf and come back to tell us what you've learned?

 

[pink]

Sometimes I just get bored with Lit. Sometimes, I have little to say. It's nothing against Lit, it's just me.

 

[PublicAffection]

I left because I had a baby and as sexy as it is reading about people nibbling on nipples, it's a little more than uncomfortable to read erotica with an infant feeding off of you.

... now why wasn't THAT on the poll?

Because a good 50% of the folks here aren't having sex, let alone makin' babies!

It just dawned on me that I have been here for 14 years and have not hit 50,000 posts yet.

Don't you dare.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

And AJ can be on here for three months under a new nick and breeze through that without even blinking.

Get to steppin'.

 

[Queersetti]

I didn't leave on purpose. I just didn't post one day. Then another. A week went by, then five years.

So? Me either.

Maybe it's got something to do with our keychains weighing us down.

 

[anchoredinocean]

I take long breaks when the only "fun" to be had is trolling some of the annoying political posters because really, it's not much fun.

Well hello there, you big ole stud!

 

[Dave_Loves_Puss]

I just don't fit in here that well. Not a superperv, or bicurious or any of that. I just like reading about sex. I don't sext or chat either. Just an occasional post and PM. So I do not consider this a very fulfilling place for what I want I guess, probably my own fault for not posting every 30 seconds like some do and getting to know the folks here.

Been here over 12yrs and under 23000. Maybe we just choose our words more carefully

I left once because I was pissed off about issues on story side, but came back after a month. I never closed my account or came back as an alt, just showed back up and endured some "Oh, we thought you quit." remarks.

Since then I've done a few two/three week "lit offs" but either because I have a lot of stress in life and in a mood where everything here ticked me off, or if I was working on a project with a deadline I had to get rid of the distraction

But I always keep the name. I have an alt for the role playing threads, but that's it.
