My least favorite question to be asked is "are you okay?" I find it hurtful that people assume I'm NOT okay, even if they're right. I prefer "How are you?" Even though either way I won't admit anything's wrong. I don't like admitting I'm not okay.

Maybe I should post this anonymously, but I guess I'll just use my real CB name. Sometimes I feel like people here on the CB are getting tired of me, or maybe just don't have an interest in what I'm saying, and I don't know how to fix it. I want to be better and more exciting, and I want to be cool and popular, but it doesn't seem like I am. Everyone else is just more interesting, and so talented, and funny, and maybe I'm just going to fade to the background. I guess I give good advice and stuff, but when I look up at old CBers who everyone still remembers and is excited to see, I wonder if I'm going to be one of those people. 
But maybe I'm just being silly and needy. I dunno. I guess I'm just sick of feeling like I'm trying to give so much energy to the CB, like maybe now I'm getting tired. 
Anyways, I hope it doesn't seem like I'm looking for attention. You don't have to care about this if you don't want to, but advice would be appreciated. 
Thanks, all.

*gasps* Peri! You are amazing <333

Truely, I know people are going to remember you. You AEs are wonderful, your writing is on-point, and overall, you are just an exciting and kind person.

And if you're getting "tired" like you say, don't be afraid to take a hiatus or something. If you need to talk, feel free to talk to me, though I won't guarantee I'll answer right away, lol :)

Love you platonically <333

Same. I posted about this a few days ago as well. Honestly, I consider you super cool and have always looked up to you. You're super kind and helpful and one of the all-around most nice people I've ever talked to. 

I promise you, Peri, that you'll never fade into the background. I'm really glad you posted this, I'll make sure to personally make sure you don't feel like you're fading into the background. I really mean it, you're such a kind, talented, funny person, and I think that the CB is so lucky to have you! Just remember that no one is picking favorites on the CB, we're all equal and no one has a "favorite CBer". It's like a choosing between pizza and ice cream (IMPOSSIBLE). No one on the CB is thinking about their funniest or most talented CB friend, I promise you, because we don't have one! Everyone's different and unique and best at being themselves. Keep being you, Peri, and don't worry! We all love you!
And if you want someone to talk to, we can always make a thread to talk! I'd be happy to talk to you, if you wanted to, since I'm feeling the same way. If not, that's okay, too. Just remember how much we love you, Peri! And I promise to make sure to include you as much as possible.
Love ya (platonically, ofc)

Thanks, both of you, so much. That really helped. I think I was just feeling sort of down the other day, and you both helped me. Starli, if you are interested in making a thread to talk, that sounds good! Love you both too (yeah, platonically)

aw, Peri, i'm so sorry! i had no idea you felt this way.

what you're worried about, i can tel you that at least I have never felt that way,  I'm newer than a lot of you, but I've always felt that you were one of the "staple CBers" that i'm always excited to see. People like you, Writing, Jaybells, of course many more, are sort of what i think of when i think "CBer." You haven't faded into the backround, in fact your presence is really strong here.  Again, since I'm newer, i've never really met the older, legendary CBers but it feels like you're definitely going to become one. You sort of already feel like one.

Peri, you're honestly one of the coolest, funniest, kindest, most exciting people here.  You don't have to put a lot of energy into the CB if it's just stressing you out.  Just being here is enough.  Believe me, the CB is ten times better with you. 

Of course you're not being needy.  I get it.  If you need anything-- advice, sympathy, whatever, we're always here for you.

Thanks for doing what you do:)

I agree with everything you just said :]

Honestly, I feel the same way sometimes- like everyone on here is tired of my and I'm not really contributing to the CB in any meaningful way. I know it's probably not true, but I can't help it. I want you to know that you really are cool and I always enjoy interacting with you! I know sometimes it's hard to feel positive about things but just know that we all care about you and are here for you <333

No way, Peri. You're awesome, and one of the most kind and thoughtful people I know. I absolutely admire how you always give and lend a hand to others in their more difficult times; it's something to be applauded. But at the same time, it's okay to take some time off for yourself. You don't have to only give, it's important to receive too.

I also understand that feeling, though. I often feel a similar way, but can't bring myself to talk about it. Just remember, we still care about you and what you have to say! You are cool, and come across as really mature, like you've really figured yourself and want to make the world a better place! You are brave, and creative, and anyone who doesn't see that in you needs to reevaluate their standards! 

*spread the good feels*

Oh my gosh, Peri! I didn't know you felt like that!

I think that all your threads are so great, and you're a really positive person! I don't know how you could feel like that on the CB, I always think of you as the sweetest person on Chatterbox. I'm so sorry...I didn't know you were going through this.

I don't think I would ever forget you as long as I'm on the Chatterbox, and you don't have to be popular. Sometimes I feel like I want to be thought of as "popular", but Chatterbox isn't really about that.

Also, (and if you don't want to listen to this advice, because I don't want to force you or anything) you shouldn't be comparing yourself to others, because then you are always striving to be like them, wishing to be like them, and then suddenly it's your only goal on the Chatterbox. To stick out and be popular. But popular isn't really that much. Popular is only one thing, and you know what? You are plenty of other things: You're kind, sweet, and fun on the CB. You're really nice, and I actually admire you quite a lot, because at home, I'm not always sweet, and I'm kind of striving to be kind. It's kind of like the feeling when you want something to be perfect. You just keep nudging the item that isn't QUITE perfect. And then at the end, when you've finally gotten the item "perfect," you're just so worn out from working on one thing. So I guess that's kind of the same with being popular. I'm sorry if this is coming down hard on you, so again, as I said, you don't have to listen to me, because, well, I'm only 10 years old after all, and I don't want to force you to do anything. 

I feel really bad about this, and I really want to help you.

Wowo, thank you all. I will take all your advice to heart. Thanks for helping me out so much, it really, really means a lot.
