Do you get lost on multiple conversations?

Just something that I'm noticing after returning after 3 years...

I'm kind of like... panicking on my return like "Now what do I say to everyone... do I just ask them 5 different questions in five different topics?" I would most likely lose track...

(Was there a way to see where I've been posting? :mcheh: )

Well, you could subscribe to those threads in which you post?

I don't know, I stick to only a few threads at a time.
That's a few hangouts which I check regulary and two chats threads, plus the books sections.
The forum is slow enough to keep track just checking them all once a day.

And, yeah, sometimes it's strange being in several conversations with the same person. For me that person is Hotarla. But because in each of those threads there are other people posting, it kinda makes sense?

Ohhh yeah the subscriptions might work!

And yes totally brings anxiety of forgetting you posted somewhere and then just completely forgetting and looking rude? :mcblush:

And yes Luna exactly that, just got to slowly build up the contacts again :mclaugh:

Well, that's the upside of having an slow forum - most conversations are rather slow. I mean, everything other than the hangouts and two of the chat threads.
You can take a few days to reply and probably the conversation has not changed yet, so it's not late to reply at all and there is no reason to feel anxious about it.

I bookmark threads instead of subscribing to them, that way I don't get an email every time someone replies to a thread I posted in, but I can still check whether there are new replies in the threads I've posted in by going to the bookmarks tab.

Yeah, that's right, bookmarking instead of subscribing.
That's why I do too, but for some reason I use both words as if they were interchangeable :mcheh:

I've been engaging a load because I don't know what I want to talk about but I know I want to talk about EVERYTHING because I have untreated ADHD. Wee!

Prolly cuz on some sites they mean the same thing. Here is one of the few that isn't the case

I have held multiple different conversations with the same people on different threads in the past. As long as there isn't one that's got a half dozen others talking so the subject changes every five posts, it's pretty easy for me to keep up
I've also done same people, same thread, different conversations. That's challenging ahaha :mcheh:

I am a little overwhelmed with how many conversations I'm having again. I thought it kind of plateaued but I think I'm wrong lol.
