*much hugpats*
Man, I don't mean any offense, but honestly just coming in and saying "hugs everyone" every now and then is kind of meaningless. It's like contests for little kids where everybody gets a medal just for being there.
I appreciate the effort, but honestly it's hard to tell if you've even read the posts or feel any sympathy for the people you're 'hugging'. Arguably, it implies that you haven't and don't, although I know you well enough to know that you have and do (or at the very least on the latter.)
Sorry if I come across as a little confrontational, by the way; proofreading my post suggests overtones of anger, but I can't think of a better way to get my point across. :v
E: changed phrasing to scale down confrontational tone
Poking across the wording--what Tawa
means is how many times you do such.
The usual idea is 'you don't need to do this everytime you notice someone being down--the instance of knowing that others are there for you is OK enough'; it goes along the idea of one's consecutive reputation or something along that line. Repeating the same thing in monotony, although depending on the context, may come across as meaningless due to how its used the same. You can however word these differently, and with the right timing. (eg You can also use PMs!
)
kind of meaningless
TBF doesn't make meaningful posts, how else do you think he does so many
He does. The posts he makes have meaning within them--however it may not look meaningful to others. It's a thing with communication and how words are parsed with both emotion and analytics.
Sarcasm like this doesn't help, IMO.
You could help TBF out more by teaching him more things to say; friend advice/constructive criticism and stuff.
SalmonGod has a good point however--one can see the effort behind the motive, albeit even if the presentation may seem 'stale' or what have you. It means that TBF does care--much like many of the people here who read the posts silently and feel for the people in their current state. He shows it in his way. You could help him by giving him suggestions.

I don't say much either because it kind of annoy me when people just dismiss my advice. :v
Nobody directly dismissed it.
Please do remember that the absence of acknowledgement does not mean outright dismissal, in this context. People do remember and can recall what and when you have tried.
Don't take it so negatively.
It'll affect ya. How you observe things matters.
@greatorder: I rather feel sad/disappointed rather than anger, actually o_O It's the case of 'this feels normal for me because that's all I've felt'.
Sad: Tired + stressed = me flailing with words and typing. o_o
I now notice I mistype things as other similar sounding things!
But it's that I've a ton of PMs to still address and lacking time to do so :X Hopeful that the senders are ok with waiting a few more days.
