In the time I have been here I have learned an awful lot from others, I think the biggest thing I have learned is a great appreciation for others from other places other than my own backyard.

Aww Don't get me started......

This is the second site I ever joined, the last one everyone was fighting and just seemed to be getting a kick out of belittling people. So I come upon this place called ForumGarden... and I think well I don't think I will bother (eventhough I like the idea of a place where everyone can be together and share their ups and downs) - but they don't exist so I ain't bothering ... so I hang around watching. Well I am so glad I did because I see people sharing their most wonderful moments and then moments which will bring the hardest of us too tears. And think this has to genuine cos it seems so passionate....so I join and I am never leaving!!! :-4 :-4

yes, that was my thought exactly.

I've learned that cliques can exisit, even in cyberspace!!

Not that anyone has acted like that to me, everyone here is super nice, but I see drama on here from time to time...

And I've learned that I type as fast as I think, which leads to many typos.

see post above.

Apart from these two things, nothing that I didn't know from observing society generally.

1 - People who you previously thought to be a bit 'basic' are actually quite insightful.

2 - People can tell an awful lot of lies online, if they think no one knows them.

So - I guess I've learned to be less judgemental, and more careful of trusting people.
