Am I imagining it or not??

Just a bit or a query thats bothering me slightly.

No doubt all of you will know of a friend or someone who used to Skydive but gave up. Once they gave up did they act totally different towards others about the Skydiving side of things. eg, Making out as if you lead a sad life because you enjoy spending time @ the DZ, enjoy jumping & sharing the fun parts with mates etc?

Did you get the feeling they looked down on you at all??

Depends a bit on why they stopped. One friend got a bit nasty .He had gone to fat and it seemed obvious to me that his commitment to his wife and kids had done it to him. i used to wish he'd just do a jump occassionally but he swore never again. He didn't like seeing a free spirit getting around enjoying himself.

In some places skydivers are considered the lowest of the low in the Air-sports world. This is usually because of bad behaviour from a few temporary visitors.

Some people have very different (read not pleasant ) experiences on DZ's and think if you like it there you must be as bad as what they experienced.

I get the feeling they look down on themselves; so they avoid you.

Just an opinion.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I agree with what use have said like. The person in question now & again pop online & goes onto forums and makes comments which i disagree with saying we have no life and we are sad????/

I disagree

maby they are just projecting a feeling of regret. I imagine that if i quit something that made me feel so good about myself that i would be bitter too.
just my .02

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?
