I've gotten a lot of good, different information because other people searched differently than I did. So I got answers much more quickly than spending all that time searching just by myself.
Plus, some people only have dail-up and it takes so long to search stuff, that if somebody with a quicker service can provide information, that's cool. Effective. And if I was on a pay-time terminal, speed means lower cost, and that can matter big time to a student or a low-income person.
Me, I'll go anywhere there might be an answer to my question, pretty much. And I really relate to what some people have to say. It's really interesting.
Although I get what you're saying about some that are just cruising this for the points - yup, I saw where one of them was even bragging about it (seems sort of lame to me) - I don't think there are many of them. I haven't quoted any websites, myself.
I just saw a reply from somebody who had 40 years of clinical experience behind the reply to a question. That's pretty awesome, although I guess we're just taking that on their say-so, too, right? But the writing style and grammar were really good, so that kind of reinforced the expertise.
Anyway, thought you made an interesting point, if a bit harshly.
what's funny is that you've actually posted questions yourself. isn't that just a little hypocritical?
People usually come here and ask for advice anonymously. They are afraid of asking it in person for fear of what others might think. So what better place to ask it then here. Here there are experienced people who sometimes can help that person.
Also not many people come here for the points. They're just an added bonus.
You know, I wonder why this "forum" for lack of a better word is designed like it is. If this is truely a way to help each other out why are their limits and points? I don't get it. It makes this a game and then my fear is that people are coming on here for legitimate answers, which I give every time, and getting b.s. answers instead.
You realize to post your question you lost five points, while I get two for answering it.
:-)
You have issues. Funny you should think to post this question in the mental health section.
Why do you care what others are doing? Why do you care if points are important to others? Why aren't you living your own life and leaving others to live theirs?
Now theres a few questions for yourself to answer.
I don't necessarily go to the internet for answers, only research. And to also read imbeciles ask a question, expecting answers and WAA-WAAing b/c you only have 174 points.
The internet is a great place for answers! Perhaps not this site, but the internet itself is great.
But most people use it because they're afraid to search themselves for an answer. I am guilty of it as well. When I first started to date, I was scared and so I tried to research whatever I could about the subject. I couldn't find much that I agreed with. My boyfriend was encouraged by that. He said "that means we're going to have to figure it out and learn it together". That's smart. I have to learn to be more confident in the steps I take, unresearched. I should be intelligent enough to make sound judgements without others' help.
There are always people who'll see this kinda thing like a game, like something fun (at least in the mental health category) to win points and then there's the people who want to help, who find gratification in helping others, even if it's like this by sharing experiences with complete strangers. A bit like life isn't?
wow people are not stupid they just decide to do it here instead of asking people in person with the fear of rejection or embarrassment besides nobody dont come here for the fun out it its personal experiences or personal advice this is not a game and if this didnt give points im sure people would still answer questions to help others
I answer questions that I think I can help someone with.
Also, when I search for the answers, I have come across some very interesting websites that I never would have thought of looking at. It does turn into a game for me, but not because of the points. Because I am constantly learning new things and I enjoy that.
this forum is a good place to see that some people really do have actual problems and some are better off and some are not - than me.
Also, I am off work due to an ankle injury and it fills up my time.
why are you on here? if you want the points cuz you only have a "lousy 174 points", then get busy and answer someone's questions - if you can help. If you are just going to complain then get something else in your life and stop taking up bandwidth and peoples time when they really want to help others.
good luck
