Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Yes, I am anchored to that word being positive now, because of the comedy behind it. And the camaraderie.
Have u ever tried to do that with other things to help yourself bounce from any negative times into positive times. Our mind is a very powerful thing. It can either cause great distress or bring alot of joy. Using different triggers from words or images for different people
Surely. True 😊
Started in 2004 a Forum of 'Good😊soul+mind+body'.
Unfortunately, it became over-run with > racists & hating christian advisors & other sinners < that too exist on this platform, even in c/POSITIVE of all places. evidence = https://communities.win/c/Positive/p/16c1uiAt2k/parents-of-2-inspired-at-church-/c .
Wondering... where else to Create a 2nd.😊 Safe heaven like mine was in 2004 thru 2010. --- Do you know, Ryan?
Unfortunately anytime u make something open invite it will eventually draw in that stuff. So u either have to do invite only or be willing to block all that stuff when it comes in
Well, this Invite only as you know 😊 is kind of what SR created For >>my own communities<< here. More foundationally, since age 24 I wanted to own & Build an IRL-community of such, how would you Encourage... such only Positively-contributing Individuals..., Ryan?
Do you know what I mean?
Too, why with repeated reports, are c/POSITIVE Rules not enforced, & comments not deleted?
Yes, I have. But this in particular was a group effort. So now the word disappointment really is not disappointing at all. And it was because a group of people came together and made it that way.
There are different keywords or colors or smells or things in life that can change somebody’s mood. I was just reading a story about how petting an animal, a dog or a cat… For five minutes can change a persons mood in a positive manner.
For me, it’s as simple as breakfast. Every day I eat the same thing. Berries, I have to have my berries. I find them comforting, and a constant in my life. It’s very helpful for me when I am staying at other peoples houses, watching the animals, because every day starts the same. It’s something I can count on.
There are many other examples, but that’s just two.
U can achieve the exact same thing with or without a group being involved.
We each are unique, so some might get uplifted by petting an animal some might not depending on how there mind perceives different things. There is a lot to it
Getting sleepy but will talk more with u about this in future. Have a good night sis. Love you.. God bless
I disagree with you regarding the great disappointment.
This was completely a group effort! And it doesn’t matter to me if you agree with me or not. It’s my own perception.
I’m so grateful to this group of people, because yes, this whole situation with being disappointed, and then, not being disappointed, with being disappointed, has been anything but disappointing.
Yes, it has everything to do with the group regarding this one specific topic, the great disappointment. It wouldn’t have happened without everybody else.
But I do agree with you that yes, things like this can happen without groups. Sure can. But this in particular event, will never be diminished. Not in my eyes. I am grateful to everyone here who participated, and still do on a daily basis.
