message 1701: by Debra (new)

Debra | 3 comments Hi from a very new member, so apologies if this is the wrong group for the question. I love what I have seen of this group, but wonder if anyone could steer me towards a group dedicated to authors like Jodi Picoult or Diane Chamberlain and the like - I suppose to define it, 21st/20th century authors of books dealing with problems - often, but not always, women's, in the contemporary world, perhaps with some element of mystery and backstory, and with romance, but not as the sole focus. Thanks for any help and again, sorry if I shouldn't have posted it here.

Hello Debra! :) Have you tried searching using the tags? I do want to help you find one, but my internet is being a pain. If you could give me a few days time, I'll snoop around and let you know if I find one that you might like.

I can't check it. It's taking forever to load, but the last time I saw it, one of my friends was a moderator there.

So Rumell, your group is set to "Adults Only", and I'm not sure why that is; I can't view it unless I join. Also, I can't understand why you would do that when it's less likely for you to have any adult content in the group and you yourself are not 18.

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I must have pressed that by accident when I was sorting out the settings. When I went back I could not find the option.

That explains (or does it?) What did you tell Raven?

I reminded the mistakes she had made. I kept telling her that 'the welcome' page is only for introducing people, yet she still carries on. I said things really nicely. Then she started to threaten me by leaving. Apparently I hurt her feelings. I only reminded her not to post anything other than an introduction. And I told her numerous times to use the Social Chat Room page if she wanted to chat. I blocked her from the group so she emailed me saying stuff like.
'Can you unblock me from that group. I only wanted to leave temporarily to calm down after you yelled at me(Which hurt my feelings) and now just deleting me without any explanation as to why(Yes I know I threatened to leave that group but I was ticked off that time and I needed a break from the stress that Im dealing with)'
I replied saying if she promises being friendly.
Then she replied back saying '........What did I do that wasn't friendly? Why telling you Im leaving because I got yelled at which hurts me. Im very sensitive which can cause me to be overdramatic.' and she also texted saying 'I was being positive, I hurt a lot easier, I'm fragile, Im under stress from school. Most high schoolers I know are a lot meaner then you think I am, and that is the truth. Im sick of people taking my feelings for granted. You yelled at me for accidentally posting in the thread and I mean accidentally. Im very friendly when Im in a good mood or when I feel like my feelings didn't get hurt' and also said to me 'Okay I wanna know, why do you think Im unfriendly. Of course I overreact a lot but its my sensitive nature. I felt like you where yelling at me when I posted in the wrong spot which hurt my feelings. Im just under a lot of stress from school and Ive been hating my life all the times. I feel like I unintentionally hurt people or I get hurt, either way Im starting to not trust people as much anymore. I just wanted to let you know at least.'

When I put the group 18+ by accident. She sent me text saying 'You know what Rumell, f*ck you, Im not interested in your stupid group, you don't know anything about me so do not say things like "promise to be friendly" f*cking h*ll I am friendly, Im the friendliest f*cking person that you'll ever meet(No offense to any other people) I AM SO F*CKING SICK AND TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE THIS. If you think Im not friendly wait till you're on my bad mood then you'll see how unfriendly I can be so don't ever p*ss me off. Oh and I bet I know why you turned your group mature 18+. So I wouldn't f*cking find it even if I make a new f*cking account. Im so f*cking tired of finding people I f*cking think I can trust yet ending out hurt, my heart is fragile, you just don't know me that well.

I wanna be understood, I don't wanna keep suffering anymore, oh and go ahead and block me Rumell, I don't care if you choose to block me after this. Im done being treated like sh*t.

NOWHERE IN OUR F*CKING CONVERSATION DID I HAVE ANY F*CKING ATTITUDE, NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

Everyone treats me like this now. Like they can use me and then throw me away like trash. Im not garbage I am a human being, I have feelings and currently I'm p*ssed, p*ssed at how Im treated, p*ssed how I have been treated growing up, p*ssed that people friend me only to break my trust or make it seem like its all my fault

and it is, I let you guys get to close to me so yeah, its my f*cking fault, everything is always my fault. Isn't it? Its my fault I let people bully me and its my fault I'm treated like this.


And if you think Im unfriendly then explain why I willingly used over $100 last year on my birthday for my family. Ive tried playing nice, I tried being nice, I tried positivity but now its no more Ms. Nice Girl. Im tired of being nice to those who don't deserve it, to those who's hurt me. Im just sick and tired of it. Ive been having moments I cried myself to sleep, Ive been stressed and you acting like Im not being friendly isn't nice. So this'll be the last time I talk to you before I block you.


Have a greeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaat year and goodbye'

I gave up talking to her because what she has been saying to me. I had to delete some of the text she sent through my discussions.

Shall we take this to PM?

But one thing I'd like to inform you: She really is under stress. She always gets involved inadvertently in some drama, and she does not need this as well.


message 1717: by Mystic Orange (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I only said what I had to say. Or else other people will end up doing the same thing.

Look, Raven is one of the sweetest friends I've ever had, and I don't like it when she gets upset over and over again. I'm the one you should be apologizing to.


message 1723: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
I can relate with her. There are chances she could be an introvert or just not in the mood to talk, and a stranger complimenting her out of the blue could have been unexpected.

I'm not sure if I agree that it's a talent, but it is something special.


message 1728: by Tal (new)

Tal Heyman | 44 comments Hi, I wanted to also add that I can write in three different languages as well (English, Spanish, and Hebrew).
I agree with Hallie. I'm an introvert and sometimes I like to be by myself. I hate it especially when I'm reading a book and I just get into it and someone starts a conversation with me.

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I am also an introvert. I would hate even try to talk to someone. If someone talks to me I just roll my eyes.

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments Do you think 'Read, Revise, Play, Chat and Write.' is a good name for a group or would you think of a better one?


message 1732: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Well, personally, I think a different name would be nice.


message 1733: by Mystic Orange (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments Do you have any suggestions?


message 1734: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Well, that's really up to you because it's your group, and I'm still unsure what you really do there.


message 1735: by Mystic Orange (last edited Dec 12, 2017 08:28AM) (new)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments It is all about books, educational games, chatting to members and discussing books. We also provide learning resources for those who want to revise. We create characters and descriptive writing. We also take scientific debates and news however it has barely been touched. This is a link: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
I don't think the name is very catchy.


message 1736: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Does anyone even use the revise part? Why don't you take a survey to see what everyone is interested in? I think you've got a lot of different areas you're trying to cover, hence making it a little disorganized, and also harder to think of a suitable name. Would something like 'Friendly Cove' be okay? (I know that's lame, but I'll think of something else along those lines)

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I done a quiz and revealed that I am 100% Science/Maths nerd, 82% Social/History/Religion/Geography nerd, 81% Language/Literature nerd, 42% Music Nerd, 13% Games/Computer nerd, 3% Art nerd, 1% Anime/Graphic nerd and 0% Drama nerd.

Which quiz is that?


message 1740: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Apparently, I am 32% Science/Maths nerd, 14% Social nerd, 81% Language/Literature nerd, 77% Music Nerd, 54% Games/Computer nerd, 14% Art nerd, 33% Anime/Graphic nerd and 46% Drama nerd.

Not very accurate for me except the top two.

Why do you always post such random and unrelated posts out of the blue?


message 1746: by Hallie, I'm all about the books (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 5470 comments Mod
Yes, you do. And it is random. It has no connection to what you were talking about earlier.

That was random! While this is a chat room where you can share anything, you just switched topics without a warning. If you think you're not random, well, no.
