If someone dared you to stay off lush for a month, could/would you do it?

6 Sep 2013

Could I? I think I could.

Would I? Why should I, dares are dumb (unless of course they involve sex, LOL)

But it is nice to stay away for a few days every now and then.

I could absolutely stay off of Lush for a month. It's a social internet site. Come on, if you can't unplug and connect with the people around you in real time are you really alive?
On the other hand, you have to question the reason for the dare in the first place. Why limit your interaction? Is it a problem? Does it show a weakness?
But, in the interest of science. I'll log off for a month and then report back on the results.

Did I miss anything? That was the most terrifying thirty seconds of my life.
Please promise never, ever, let me do that again.

I COULD stay off Lush for a month, but you wouldn't like Me when I came back!

15 Sep 2013

I have gone three months off of Lush. So, I could do it for a month, but I would be MISSED greatly by my sweet and dear friends of mine.

15 Sep 2013

Yeah, Im thinking about leaving for good, some awful pple here who live for drama and upsetting pple who r just here to blow off steam and have a laugh. Escape from the reality that is real life cause clearly they don't have one. Who the fuck needs that shit?? Lush is meant to be fun.

Why would you let those people control you like that. Actually, it's our reactions to things that set the tone and how we feel. Let it go man, there's lots of jealously here and that's okay.

Different personalities and beliefs. I sometimes want to comment soooo hard, and I don't. Other times, I'm like ... Fuck it. Most of the time, I'm making light of things. There's those who don't get it, or have the kind of personality that can't or wont blow it off. Some can't or wont laugh it off. Better yet, just leave the thread.

Anyway, yes ... I could leave for a month. Right now, people are wishing I would, lol.

Speak for yourself, would hate to see you go! I think I made 2 months than was back

15 Sep 2013

Well i've been here for less than a month so yeah I could definitely stay away for a month.

15 Sep 2013

I could but I'd miss and be missed. It's the only reason I didn't leave, because I don't want to say goodbye to my friends.

15 Sep 2013

Could not, would not want to be gone a month.

16 Sep 2013

Yes I have done it. I missed it but I had other things to think about before I returned.

16 Sep 2013

a dare is a dare, like it or hate it, its to be taken!

For all of the drama that some of the people drag up on here, there are more good people, IMHO.

As a Mod, I get to see ALL kinds of sides of people here on Lush, and believe you-me, it's not all great.

But, for the most part, I couldn't leave. Not only because of my duties here, but because I have several friends here that I genuinely like, and that I'm pretty sure like me.

plus, we fitted her with a chip and i have her gps location. if she tries to leave, i can track her down and bring her back - once a mod, always a mod. bunny

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I doubt it. Love the site, my friends here and my role also. It would probably be easier to give up steak and chips lol.

See! It would be terrible to have to draw the Sprite from her tower to forge the Midwestern plains ... So I stays!

Spanks? *looks over at Sprite hopefully* It's been forever since spanks!

HELL NO! I'm hella too busy stirring up the forums, friending people, being deleted, re-friending people I've deleted, re-friending people who have deleted me, it's like an alternate universe here. My friends list is like Grand Central Station sometimes!

Seriously, I have made a few really good friends here. I try to surround myself with happy people who laugh a lot in every aspect of my life and I've found a few treasures on Lush.

Maybe you should check in each day and tell us how it's going! Lol

16 Sep 2013

16 Sep 2013

I would like to think I could but I enjoy reading the stories and the people and there's no where quite like it and so would miss it and the people.

I don't see logging off Lush for a time as a "dare" in the usual sense of the word.

There have been times when I just needed to be away from here for various reasons. At first, it was very difficult, as I came to rely on the small social interactions, and just contact with a world outside of my current way of life.

However, I am wiser to certain things (and people) now, so I am no longer reliant on the habit as I once was. I no longer have reason to check messages every few minutes or hours as before, knowing that those who do take time to interact with (or suffer) me are patient and kind, and few.

Time away from Lush is very easy once you find what works for you. And it means that when you come back to it, it is fresher, less emotional (if it was overly so before), and of more benefit in whatever ways you choose to use it. So I don't see it as a dare, so much as a challenge to force you to evaluate its impact on you. A dare, to me, is something cheeky, shocking and probably funny (at least for the darer).
