😯 Oh…pelicans? You lucky girl!
I envy you! Glad you were able to take pictures. 😀eaglefeather831 wrote:I feel like my opinions and feelings do not matter to anyone.
Me on the other hand, if I need someone, they are never there.Oh I know those feelings all to well, living it every day as I’m sure you are too.
I hope you can find a friend that has the same interest as you since that is probable the problem in this case.
I have a friend that no matter what animal pictures I show her she is always happy to see them, where as the rest of them will barely look and that makes you almost feel like an idiot for being so excited about showing them. 🙁I love pictures, any as a matter of fact so please share them 😀 And your opinion does matter.
Hugs!
I don’t make friends that easily myself, because I’m picky. There are so many people out there who are so self-centered, it’s not funny. I had – and still have sometimes 16 years later – the same problem as you with my in-laws. I’m just so different from them, they don’t know what to do with me.
So hang in there! You will find someone with the same interests as you. Heck, you found a whole bunch of friends online!
I’m thinking that the “attractive” aura people may be in the same boat as we are; they just deal with it totally differently.
And seeing any type of animal for the first time is always a gift. If they don’t find it interesting, they’re truly losing one of the treasures of nature.

I know exactly how you feel. I’m lucky that I did have friends that understood me. Some people, I love their personality but, I hate how they dominate the conversation all the time.I am quiet but, I’ve been known to talk ears off before. If you let me, that is.
Pelicans are so neat. I saw my first one when I was 10… it was a brown one. No picture, but, neat. Same with Flamingos. If I didn’t “tour” most of the US I would have never seen some of those birds and mammals.
But, there are many times I feel like I just don’t fit in. Same with here, as well as other places on the internet where you actually communicate with other people.
I know how you feel! I spent my entire highschool where no one cared what I thought, or how I felt, unless I could help them with a math problem. Then it was only because the other guy (who got lower grades in math then me, he only got valedictorian because he got waaaaaay better in social studies) was busy. And when I did help, they never thanked me. So I started telling them no.
That and I just spent an entire weekend being glared at and being told to shut up by Colin’s mum. And I was only putting in short, one sentence at most comments. That woman frustrates me sometimes, I felt like I didn’t matter at all. Like I was being ignored. And I’m in for one more day of that. Bleh.
Sorry added my own little rant to this didn’t I? And I talk alot on here but I actually say very little in person, just ask Snap! 😆
I wish I could have seen pelicans! You’re very lucky!!!!!!!!!!

You can tell me whatever you want to share! 😀
I just realized how much I have in common with everyone! And Dragonmistress, I’m a sucker for snuggles! hehe
So is it rare to see pelicans? I didn’t even know that there are brown ones too. I am really glad you are all enjoying these pictures! 😀
We need to all visit eachother in person…it would be nice! 😀

I would have been like… “Hmm, makes you wonder what they could use those big throats for eh?”
Gobble, gobble…wait, that’s a turkey! 😆

Those are lovely pictures. How fortunate you are to have seen them.
Beautiful photos! I get so excited whenever I see pelicans in the Midwest, it always seems such a treat. They’re such wonderfully unique birds. 😀
I remember the first time I saw pelicans (the brown ones in florida). It was right after I saw the first Jurassic Park movie. I was like “OMG look a teridactly!” I’ve never seen white ones before.
I get ignored a lot by my “friends” too. I think it happens to everyone at one time or another.
Those pelicans are awesome!
Those are great pics, eaglefeather! 😀
I’ve seen pelicans from a great distant before in FL and in Savannah, GA. I actually got to see a bunch of brown ones real up close several months ago, when I visited the St. Pete Pier in Tampa, FL. There was a bunch of brown ones, and a few white ones like the ones in your pic. I was very excited, and just spent a ton of time watching them. They are very impressive looking creatures to me. And I love to watch them hover and dive bomb the water after fish!Oh, btw… I know exactly what you’re talking about, when people don’t want to listen to you. One girl I used to work with would just nod and go “uh huh, uh huh”. She was hurrying me to finish, just so she could start talking about something else or top what I had to say. 🙄 She was not really listening to me, and couldn’t wait for her turn to start.

Well, they are rare in the middle of Alberta… not really enough water for them to hang around!
One of my best friends is a people gatherer. People just tend to flock to him, he has that kind of personality, he can talk to anyone too. It was kind of cool because all his friends were my friends. But he’s moved away so I haven’t seen him in ages.
I’m just like you though. I’m a social phobic so I usually just sit and listen. Luckily my bf is a bit shy too so we do well together. We’ll just hide in the corner and talk to each other.
Honestly, you bunch are as close to me as anyone gets. 😆 And how scary is that?? 😉

Well said; that’s how I feel about it. I actually enjoy being a quiet observer. You learn lots of stuff that way.
If you want to find out who your true friends are, ask them to help you move. 🙄
The pictures of the pelicans are wonderful! I always get excited seeing them when we visit southern beaches:) Apparently they are trying to make a comeback in NJ, but I haven’t seen any yet:-/
