Can I just say how absolutely amazing this Overgrow thing is!

Dude we can have different opinions here and still talk to eachother.

That forum cracked the 2024 code xD

yeah, groupthink. it’s weird. amazing how so many otherwise intelligent folks can make such stupid and bad decisions. like reddit. if i ever find myself in agreement with the crowd i do a double and triple take to make sure i’m not being an idiot. doesn’t always work but at least i try. it’s like they say, watching a train wreck.

Once Zappa came to my high school. His opening remark was “fuck you very much”.

Welcome to OG @Strikingviking

I like it here too. I realised Overgrow was back up at a time when I was at an all time life low, having been wronged by someone I had held in high regard. Overgrow has helped me to regain my faith in humanity, with complete strangers reaching out to offer help, advice and even seeds with nothing expected in return. I’ve returned to my favourite growing hobby and I love it. I know I’m not a bad person and Overgrow feels like a place where we seek like minded people out.

You pretty much just explained my exact experience. One word of advice, never go into business with anyone you like, especially if you want to keep them in your life. This site has really helped me recover and return to enjoying the hobby with a passion I had lost because of someone else’s poor decisions. I tend to be overly generous and people will take advantage. Fuck em but very glad to have found this place.

That’s good advice man, I think that’s what’s kept me in staff jobs. I’ve had a few business ideas over the years but the only people I trust are good friends and I wouldn’t want to risk that friendship by going into business with them, and I wouldn’t trust a stranger enough. They also say you should never sell a car to a friend, I think the reasons are along the same lines.

My “wronged” experience was a relationship. She led me to believe we were true soul mates but then pulled the rug out from under me after 5 years. 5 years is a lot of time to lose when you’re in your 50s, much less time left to try to regroup and start again. With hindsight there were some red flags. Crazy how we stop being who we were, even though that person was who they fell for. People demand all our time them complain we’re not who we used to be.

I’m sorry that people abuse your generosity. Hopefully that happens less here at Overgrow as I think the place is a good egg magnet.

Been there done that man, mine was 11 years, still just have no desire to do it again but I feel your pain. Its just hard to trust after someone hurts you like that. Cold hearted seems to be the new norm. But hey, at least there’s really good weed to smoke. It helps for sure.

8 for me…love leaves a person ‘defenseless’…I think what hurts the most is I still care for someone that discarded me. Such is life.

Its nice to know ones not alone. I find solace in just being able to get it out to people who understand. Overgrow is alot more than just a weed forum. Haven’t found comfort or generosity like this anywhere else, not even in my circle of friends, all 3 of em. You guys are awesome and I’m happy to have met everyone I’ve met so far.

I share my house with 2 dogs too. Everyone should learn love from dogs. Definitely unconditional and my ptsd has gotten much less severe with them. I lost a dog last year to lymphoma and it still kills me to have seen him go through that and ultimately lose the fight but I’ll never forget him and he’s always with me. My first tattoo will be his paw print, just haven’t gotten it yet.

Our fluffy friends only are with us a while but leave a lifetime of love and memories. I think that is an amazing idea.

I agree with this so much… I have to say here at OG it feels more like family than some of my very best friends do… it truly is more like family, and the love the support we show each other here is and I’m thinking always will be unrivaled. OG has truly made me have a different outlook on people in general… I got so used to everyone being an asshole I assumed most just were assholes anymore… sad state of affairs that is to live… so I agree… thank you everyone here at OG for not being arrogant condescending humans like the rest of the world seems to be falling to… a shining glimmering star in the midst of a dark world… thank you ALWAYS! 1 LOVE :heart: :green_heart:
