The flurry, the evening crush.....this thread is a great example of who can post when. I also suspect it's question related and who else is posting. Which leads into my Friday question. What percentage of your actions are based upon others? Are you comfortable with that percentage or do you feel that you respond too much to others? If so, what will you do to change it?

I am HUGELY empathetic, to the point that it gets me into situations that I really should not be in. I guess my percent would be high. I don't want to change the empathy factor, but I do put pretty much everyone else's needs before my own and some days I fall into bed exhausted. It's just who I am, I don't want to be anyone else so I will just keep on going the way that I am.

Act without expectation....be yourself in all things. It is something I sometimes forget. But when I remember? All is right in the world.

I'm comfortable with the balance. I'd through a random guess that about 20% of my responses to threads are driven by who posted. My general life balance is about the same - about 20% goes to responding to others.

It depends, I can be a social butterfly or quiet as a mouse. But I try and include everyone in the conversations/derailments fun.

I always enjoy trying to draw people into a conversation, though it can be a challenge sometimes.

I haven't sat down and figured the math on this one C dog. I suppose I'd get a hard on if I did. Oh Trekka!

Looks around - kinda quiet here.
Can't have that-- trots off to search for something.

Way to many of my actions are based on the actions of others and I guess that answers question 2.

Saturday morning quick hitter: When things go your way are you more pleased that it in fact went your way or more relieved that it didn't go the other way?

That's really situational. If there's some negative or harm the other way, I usually feel relief. Otherwise, well. I'm competitive. I do like to get my way.

I agree with that. It totally depends on the situation. Shamefully, I'll admit it's also about someone else not getting their way.

 

[SMNaughtywife]

Majority of the time, I'm pleased the winds were in my favor. The few times something has come up, in theory thinking I'm all gung-ho on the idea, but when it comes down to it, I'm not. A few insecurities and doubts creep (no, flood in) and wreak havoc like a mo-fo.
I'm a fan of familiar. I can handle 'new' paired with familiar and love it. I crave new, but find it goes way better if I have control over how it's all played out. Those instances, thank goodness it didn't go the other way. Yup.

Making yourself known or being noticed. We all want to be noticed but sometimes sitting back and waiting doesn't get you what you want. How do you decide how aggressive you're going to be? Does your personality dictate or does the objective?

I go back and see the posting history, I look for similar things in the way that I post. Humor plays a big part, that way I know they can/might be able to handle my dry sense of humor and my sarcastic mouth. So I'm going with my personality dictates but then, I'm allowed to change my mind as I see fit.

I'm usually more aggressive in private ...

Don't we all have the same objective?

To get vergina and/or wang?

I like this question! It made me think. I tend to sit back and wait. If for some reason there is someone I think I will really make connection with I will send a pm first but that is a rare thing for me. I think it is probably because I am a tad old fashioned in my thinking, the man should ask the lady to dance, yadda, yadda, yadda, and yes, I do know it is 2016. I am just far more comfortable with the traditional.

 

[beachbaby179]

I'm extremely shy by nature and tend to lean on humor in uncomfortable situations. Unfortunately that means that anyone I may be noticing is automatically putting me in the friend zone first. Once you're there, it's difficult to escape.

So I have a lot of friends. But I don't mind. I'm just getting out of a 30 year trap. Looking to have fun at this stage of my life. I have some catching up to do.

 

[SMNaughtywife]

I feel sometimes that even though it appears that someone may be wanting to be noticed, that isn't always the case. We all have our flirty and fun moments, where our spirits are high and one just lets themselves be. I guess if this isn't their typical style, it could be mistaken as wanting to be seen or begging for attention.
My personality dictates my board wanderings and replies, most times I'm fairly quiet and soft spoken. And here and there, when my mood vivacious, I might have a little zap, zing, and zip in my step.
