:shocked: :tongue:

you're such a loser :lovedup:

I think people who genuinely seek approval on forums are people who can't find it elsewhere, be it in school, work w/e, if they don't fit in or get on well with those around them in r/l, they come to a forum where there are lots of close knits groups of friends nand they immediately want to be accepted and taken in because its something their real life lacks. I would say a high amount of TiBB's regulars, particularly young members have or are being bullied which is why the seek so much solace in TiBB.

in my opinion anyway, I'm no psychologist.

I have often thought that. And wondered if it's a place for misfits as such. But you get regular people on here too. Most people don't give alot away so it's hard to tell. But yeah, some do stand out and seem to long to be accepted in some form or other.

I would agree with this, but its not the case all the time :thumbs:

ME, accept me bitches cuz I know where you live :devil:

thats so me..:sad:

I also think TiBB in particular draws them in due to Big Brother having quite a large female and gay following, there are a lot of young guys on here who are clearly going through some phase of realising their sexuality and of course we all know, that gays aren't exactly accepted in young teens which would result in them being bullied.

as opposed to say, a music forum, where the subject is so vague that there's a huge mix of members, young and old, straight and gay, male and female, ect.

Dont worry 30stone, ill be your buddie and we can be misfits together! :dance:

i didn't want to make it a direct thing, you know. :bawling:

hahahahhahaha shut up you whiney attention seeker
you know i'd have you any day of the week

(except tuesdays, that's when i have shaun...)

Haha Im 15, and not gay, I just like big brother and I came across this forum and just posted now and then, then I realised you can talk about other TV crap and music andjust normal stuff and make buds so I stayed.

I knew nothing about forums :joker:

Is this a gay & girl forum then? :shocked:

Its terrible i had no friends of school.
People at work bully me.

Thanks sia i would like to think you were seirous...

Yeah there seems a few confused teens here. It's good to get a mix really, works well sometimes, but I have noticed there are alot of clashes and sometimes on going hatered. Some people get pretty passionate on here!!!

that was clearly not my point. I mentioned that BB had a large female gay and female following, so naturally a BB related forum is going to have a large female and gay percentage. That's not to imply that it only attracts girls and gays.

But you're hot!
:o

Haha alright, my mum & dad watch it so I sort of had to watch it and now im a fan, same with eastenders pmsl.

Aww Thanks :blush:

lmfao :joker:

You should get an Oscar or something for that. Hit the nail on the head there!

I think people seek approval on forums because they aren't satisfied with the approval they get in their every day lives. That's not necessarily the same thing as getting no approval; some people will never get enough :tongue: but yeah, Gary's right IMO.

Argee with this. I had no friends in real life when I joined. Thankfully I do now,I just like this place :P Being a 'different' teenager sucksssssssss.

ill be your friend :hugesmile:

yes well, you know, I do try.

THICKK SKINNEDD!! haha... :D "sorry, just thinking about john and edward!"
i dont really care what people think of me on tibb! lol :)
i like some members a LOTTT more than others lol!
but,, i dont botherr about the ones that dont like me... because i know theres a lot! lol :D

Definitely something in that, and I think a lot of people spam the forum and are actively rude when not necessary (e.g. trolls signing up to slag people off) because they can't do it in real life.
