FabSwingers.com forum: I’m curious

Is this situation changing the way you post on here??

Now, yesterday I grimaced, rolled my eyes, tutted and made the air the blue whilst reading some posts. This is absolutely normal for me - however, I did get furious with my neighbour as I was sure he was using my bin last night.

Normally that wouldn’t bother me, fill my black bin if yours is full - but last night I was readying myself for a full on stand off !!

There’s a lot of peacocking - but is this purely because we need the attention and we vie for it in any way we can?

I have found myself opening threads and just can't be arsed replying, not even with a sarky comment.

I think the general mood here is weird and since I'm home alone 24/7 I'm spending too much time here and just frustrating myself. General apathy has set in.

I do think we all need to close a thread before a sarcastic comment comes out. Easier said than done as I’ve had my rant this morning

We get a lot of communication feedback fro seeing people’s faces, with lockdown there’s not so much going on.

The next time you call someone, make it a video call. It really helps to get the feel of another person and slows down the stir crazy feeling which builds up until it blows over something trivial

It’s an odd time and people are probably more apprehensive about others in general... but to be fair I’m still marmite but maybe my hater list has got slightly bigger

People are nervous, and clearly less patient ... my view is that FAB should be the release for tension not the place to spread it ...

I'm the real world, I actually think I'm losing my temper less with my kids. I think it's because I'm not out at work all day so I'm feeling less pressure to get everything done in the few short hours I have after work.

I'm posting less and not so interested in many threads, I think I'm a bit fabtigued to be fair. There is a lot more passive aggressive sniping, a lot more attention seeking and undercurrents of nasty... but on the other hand I've also seen some real support and loveliness over the past few weeks. I think that it's a difficult time for a lot of people so I try and remember that when reading the fora - people handle situations differently and their comments have no real impact on me. And focusing on the genuine niceness is lovely.

Its just stress, I really feel for those types who get stressed by dissary and lack of control, they are struggling the most right now, I see it on calls most days , people despairing, but for others in ECar sane position they are energised and even thrive on it. Everyone is different when it comes to stress triggers/reactions

Serious post. I don’t do these often so I’m a bit out of practice.

It’s a stressful time for everyone, even if your reactions to things are dead calm, other people may not be and then you have to deal with it.

Be aware of this and don’t worry, it’s not personal against you.

It’s a good time to concentrate on the essential things like regular and enough sleep, eating properly and getting some daylight and fresh air.

Try and spot the triggers for stress and cut them out for a while. It could be people or a situation or even a topic. Don’t worry about interacting with that stuff, your well-being is more important than arguing with idiots.

Talk to friends who make you smile and even better, friends that make you laugh.

Do things that you enjoy and at the pace you want it. Reading a book is good because it’s at your pace, forums and Facebook are often bad because it can feel like stuff is running away with itself. That lack of control can be stressful.

I don’t know you, I’ll never meet you and after reading your profile I’m sure I’ll never be on your friends list, but I still hope you’re ok.

According to the urban dictionary; I’m even more confused, this is what they say

Peacocking is meant to make opening a girl easier, but if you're not congruent with your look (like, if you look like you're gay and you try to hit on a girl), wires are gonna get crossed somewhere and you're gonna blow yourself out.

What the heck?

Although, the first part did say dressing for attention.

...I’m sure everyone posts to get some sort of a reaction or a response.

I wouldn’t say the way I post or have used fab throughout the years have changed because of the current situation. I think how much I actually use fab differs.

Haven’t really got much time on my hands to browse fab, follow threads and interact with may at the moment. But, that’s due to the nature of my job and it’s always a nice ‘break’ to move away from reality and dip my toes in to ‘fab world’ and see what everybody is up to.

I do have to admit, some subjects are a bit

and they certainly do have me thinking ‘why would you even ask that?’ There’s some topics I’ve never seen on here before but for some reason, the whacky and weird threads seem to be the norm.

So, in that sense, things have changed a little on here but I don’t know if that’s because of the situation or because of people’s whacky personalities.

Not judging, but things have certainly changed - or maybe I’m just growing old in my years. I do like a mature conversation or mature topics; tongue in cheek is fine but some are a bit

"I'm posting less often recently. I think it's been a weird kind of atmosphere in the forums lately, and I've been rolling my eyes a lot. When I do that, I know I need a break from it. "

Yup

Yeah I’m a grump so I’ve tried to stay away. I don’t want to spread my grumpiness. It’s not like me. I’m usually positive but I admit I’m struggling with all this.

It’s definitely tricky, but it’s helping me knowing it’s not just me. Although when I’m in a blah - I find that hard

I'm struggling with anxiety at the moment and my OCD is kicking off (though I'm starting to improve again with that thankfully).

Upshot of both is that I have a lot less patience than normal (and I'm never over-burdened with patience) and my emotions are running close to the surface.

In terms of the knock-ons on this site it hasn't changed how I post but it's certainly impacted post frequency. The childish lamppost pissing and attention seeking posts and general low-level irritations have turned into a much more annoying experience for me so I'm here less often.

Not the forum's fault, things I'd have just ignored a month ago are grating on me like nails on a blackboard.

It'll pass, no doubt.

It’s weird. It’s not the isolation. I’m quite liking being at home with the family to be honest. I can still work so it’s not that either. It’s the fear of the unknown for me (like everyone I’m sure!). I’m just very realistic/pragmatic. I’m always organised, if there’s a problem I sort it. I’m the one who’s there for everyone else usually. I was ok until a couple of days ago then all of a sudden I think it just hit me. I can’t explain it really. I can’t tell my kids everything’s definitely gonna be ok, I can’t hug my mum, I can’t see C. I dunno, Maybe I’m just feeling sorry for myself. There’s people a lot worse off than me. I’ve also lost two people to the virus this week. My uncle and a friends husband. Maybe that’s why x

Peacocking made me laugh hard

I'm good and posting as in old times. Making up for lost time after I was bullied 'out' based on some jealous and idiotic hearsay. Stronger and happier myself.

Hope bin situation resolves.. can be annoyance. Especially with everyone stuck in the house these days

End of the day, we’re all in this together.

We’re all friends I’d like to think on here, albeit through the forums, socials and meets. Yes, many may not get along but I guess to get through all this - we support each other. Be it through our threads, messages and pictures.

Whatever mood anybody is in, I’m sure there’s someone there who’ll help change it for the better.

Now, chin up people. It’s fridayyyyyy!!!

You’re not allowed to say that. Once you say every day is the same. It takes the fun and excitement out of it all.

I mean, you can always delete Sunday out of the calendar, I don’t mind. I don’t even know why we have Sunday’s really.

I am very sorry to read the last bit of this. So very hard for you when it becomes more real.

And yes it is the unknown when we are used to being in control x

Aww Popeye you softie

No being supportive of each other is lovely especially at times like these. Sure, we've all been a twat at times but I think even more so now it's important to try and be kind. Everyone has enough going on. And yeah, things irritate me a bit more than before but then I remember all the things I have to be thankful for - a loving partner and brilliant family and some of the best of friends I could ever hope for.

We’ve been told to self isolate but what we’ve noticed has happened is the majority of people aren’t just keeping a safe distance away from each other but they’ve stopped all form of common courtesy as well. Just because you’re in a queue keeping a safe distance from the person in front or behind it doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to them. You can still talk to people when passing them in the street just to say morning but it seems that there is an underlying fear that is stopping most people. Social distancing doesn’t have to equate to being unsociable. As for the forums, a lot of the threads now become argumentative very quickly . People have become very protective, judgmental, selfish, self righteous and very opinionated. These forums were and still can be a great place to converse with each other in these strange times, an escape from feeling trapped in self isolation but like all form of social media needs to be used in moderation. Keep safe, keep washing your hands and fab the cyberman pic.

"Is this situation changing the way you post on here??

Normally that wouldn’t bother me, fill my black bin if yours is full - but last night I was readying myself for a full on stand off !!

There’s a lot of peacocking - but is this purely because we need the attention and we vie for it in any way we can?

I’m a twat and I shall remain a twat all my posts are lighthearted and will never be anything different if anybody wants to take offence then so be it people need to realise one very important thing freedom of speech is a precious commodity which is slowly being eradicated by people who think they have a right to take offence over anything

At this moment in time we are living in a police state albeit temporarily but that’s the way it is.... our freedom has been taken away not nice but necessary the only freedom we have is the freedom to stll communicate with each other

Do not let the few take that away from us
