>>1163723>27.If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for them to know.starting off strong!
i have a weird mental barrier that makes me keep people at a distance. i know how to be sociable and affable to anyone, but once we try to know eachother, i tend to be a bit more guarded. i don't want to be that way, but i have an aversion to being "stuck" or "committed" to people due to some awful relationships i had up until i was an adult.
so my one note of importance is please be patient with me. i'm not trying to keep you away, but it's my default setting and i don't want you to think you are the problem. it's my own mind that is doing this

>>1163738in the wildest form, i'd wake up and the president would have a car accident in front of my home. I run out and pull him from the wreckage, and he survives with only minor scrapes. He is grateful and I become the guy who saved the president.
I'd then be flown out to LA to interview with people about my heroic efforts, and i would downplay it cause i am extremely humble, and would fight anyone about my sheer humility, and i would maybe slip that i have always wanted to make it to la to become a writer.
then a major studio calls me and offers to pick up my spec script because "a movie written by a national hero" would be a great way to sell a film.
and thus i begin my career as a big shot hollywood screenwriter and part time hero
that would be a perfect day!
in a normal scenario tho, I'd go to denver and hang around downtown a bit, then i'd go to see a concert and have a blast until 2am ^_^
>>1163739>>1163741that makes sense! if you knew you only had so much time, then it really puts into perspective the fragility of life and the short amount of time we got to do those things

>>1163722>11.Take four minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible.Ummm okay. Was born the youngest of four boys. My earliest memories are of being too uncoordinated to ride a bike or catch a ball. Was an okay student, not that smart but not totally dumb. I didn't make it into the gifted program by merit, but my parents requested i was put into advance placement anyway. I did okay, I did enough to pass. Went to college, got a degree that was basically useless graduating during the great recession. Ended up being unemployed 3 years doing nothing with my life. At the same time, suddenly got a partner and my first real job. Did that for 7 years until the job became super abusive so I rage quit. Ended up getting my current job and an ADHD diagnosis. Been doing that for 4 years now. Also I have a bunny now.

>>1163745that's kinda tricky, because my relationship to love has been kinda warped and unhealthy for a while, so in a way i'm still trying to find that out myself
i would say that love to me is a giving thing, which has its inherit value because of the connection in brings and fosters. and taht also gives people the chance to give that same love and care to you to
i think so much of what i grew up was so transaction based. if i loved enough, i would get what i want. if i showed people i care, i wouldn't suffer. which is very unhealthy
i want to love because i want to love, not because i need it to feel safe or avoid pain.

I'm a harder worker, but I am also to stubborn about my principles and clash with my leadership and managers when I don't get my way. Didn't work great at my old job but Meta sees i produce value if they leave me to my devices so it ends up working well for me

>24.How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?
Ah. Haha, these are deep questions, aren't they?
Well, it's much better now than it used to be for most of my life. She passed away when I was four, and because my family never talked about her much, I was left to come to a lot of conclusions on my own and it warped my view of her for a very long time.
For context, it was a drug overdose that she passed from and for years, literally more than twenty five years, I thought that she just didn't care enough about me and my sister to have not been careful enough and stick around. For a very long time I was neutral, but also a bit bitter. I felt as if, aure, we probably wouldn't have had a great relationship, but at least there would have been one.
There would have been a chance yo talk with her, understand her, hopefully forgive her and repair old wounds. But I never got that chance and it felt very much like she just didn't love us enough to care to give us that chance.
And then about three years ago I learned from another family member what really happened, and the circumatances surrounding why exactly she overdosed. I'll save the details, but long story short, it truly was an accident and she was not trying to kill herself. She thought she was taking a dose that her body could handle, not realizing that her tolerance to it had fizzled out, and it was too much all at once. So it truly was just an accident and she wasn't abandoning us.
Needless to say, that healed a lot of old wounds for me, some I didn't even know I had quite honestly. So I was finally able to forgive her. I love her now, understanding her better, and look forward to the day I can see her again.

I am the closest with my sister, and she had to do a lot of the parental work with me growing up, so she had the roll of older sister and mother. And we have a very good relationship in general.
It would definitely rock my boat, and I can only pray she's going to be in my life until we're both old ladies.

>>1163797i feel like the magic is still there for me in a "oh that's clever, and that's really freaking cool" way. plus i strangely find myself more lenient towards movies and shows, cause i know how insanely hard they are to make, i can't help but feel that each one that makes it to my screen is a small miracle
that being said, i am in "work mode", cause i am counting off the beats, noticing the small details that turn into big pivotal moments, and can read the ending to something from a mile away. i often only get it wrong if the film is so good that it subverted my expectations, or so bad that they missed their own set up somehow, and i get a kick out of it
but it can be a bit exhausting sometimes
i should start a review channel, but not one that makes a score, but rather highlights things that i see in shows and movies that tickle my brain wrinkles

On the one hand I desperately desire to be young enough to be able to, uh ...
have babies, but at the same time I've always been kinda deathly afraid of suffering from dementia, which killed my grandmother in such a way that was hugely traumatic for a lot of us in the family when it started all the way till it ended. Plus, the thing about myself I always valued most was my mind.... So I can't really answer this question.

so many others I know and have known. But that's hard to think of as an accomplishment since it feels more like a lucky gamble rather than an accomplishment.

>>1163805>30.When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?I cried yesterday morning when having an appointment with my therapist. I was talking about how much I miss my family back in Texas and how part of me wishes to go back there since no one I know here in California has ever shared any bit of the first 30 years of my life with me and I have no other family here ... but I am in no position to move back there anytime soon given my medical needs and my current lack of good employer health insurance ... and also the fact that the political landscape there has been totally fucked by fearmongering over the existence of people like myself that I would essentially have to live like a refugee in my own home state. Like, I know we're not supposed to talk about politics here but when the attorney general of your own homestate is on a quest to subpoena medical providers all over the country for records of any current or former resident of Texas who has received gender affirming care from out of state all while making it clear they want to make it a crime, it feels like you've lost everyone you've loved. Plus it makes you feel like everything you ever hated about your home, the people who explicitly make it clear you're not welcome despite it being
your own fucking home have finally won.
The last time I cried by myself was writing the paragraph above this sentence

>5.When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?I sing to myself daily, singing is like one of my favorite things in life. Last night I was listening to Simon & Garfunkel's final album, Bridge Over Troubled Water and singing along with the title track (
https://youtu.be/4G-YQA_bsOU?si=65zRqySJkqyLUq27 ). All while thinkibg about my mother since this month will be the fourth birthday since she passed away and I was thinking about her favorite music that I grew up with and how it had been nearly two decades since I last listened to Bridge. I remembered every word of the song despite having not heard it in nearly 20 years. It was cathartic to sing along and reminisce on what role my mother and her love for this kind of music played in leading me to discovering my own passion for music, as well as thinking about my mother's love for folk, folk-rock and singer-songwriters had a huge influence on my love for the same.
Last time I sang "for" anyone was when I went to a karaoke bar with a friend a couple of months ago and decided to sing in front of everyone, to further desensitize myself to stage fright. And I chose to sing Don't Look Back in Anger to demonstrate that I am actually really good at singing that song in particular. (

Then you get that story where a guy bought his homebound grandmother a GameCube and gave her Animal Crossing and it like, visibly improved her mental health just to have that bit of simulated social life and something to interact with and keep her occupied.
So who knows. Maybe things will get better for a lot of us when we get to that age than they were before given we are much more used to keeping ourselves engaged. That is, if we don't just overstimulate ourselves instead.

>>1163846content warning: heavy and depressing stuff
probably the 2 months leading up to the day my mom died
i found her on the floor, unable to get up one day. i helped her onto the bed, and got her some food and water. she was drunk again, and her body wasted away so much she had trouble walking
i got so upset, i made an ultimatum with her, that she needs to go see the doctor, and I would not speak with her until she did.
she yelled, she screamed, she tried to break my TV, but couldn't really move it to do so. She threatened to kick me out of the house, but i wasn't budging on my position.
after 5 weeks of me refusing to talk to her, and her just breaking down. she finally acquiesced and went to see a doctor about her health.
i did it, i made her go to the doctor. and i hoped that this was the beginning of her getting her health back to at least a tolerable level, so i didn't have to find her unable to move on the floor ever again.
a couple weeks later, on October 23rd, 2013. I woke up to see flashing red and blue lights on my ceiling
i got up, and wandered into the kitchen, where i saw paramedics and police officers moving through the house. my dad was sitting and crying at the table with a emergency grief counselor.
I asked them what was going on, and my dad, through tears, said that my mom was gone.
i looked up into the hallway that lead to their bedroom, and i saw her body on the floor. only for a second, but that second has been seared into my mind since that day.
the one thing i wanted more than anything was to see her get better. the one thing i kept silent for for many weeks to force her to see a doctor, and it wasn't enough...
i had a couple voice mail messages on my phone... i deleted them, cause i knew that if i held onto them, i'd probably would obsess over them and not move on.
i'd argue that parts of me still havent moved on from that moment No.1163848

I've always heard people talk about how rural areas are more close knit communities, but I had the opposite experience. I didn't exactly live in a huge city in Cali but it was a decent sized one, and it seemed like everyone on the street knew and talked to almost everyone else. In the place that we moved to, that wasn't the case, and it felt isolating, even for a lifelong introvert like me. There was only two other people my age on the street, and one of them was kind of an asshole. The rest of the people on the street were all seniors who never seemed to leave their houses and whose kids and grandkids moved away a while ago.

>>1163851Well I guess it might be a slight exaggeration to say middle of nowhere since its kinda sorta near a decent sized city (about 45 minutes to an hour drive) but it's closer to North Idaho, which sorta makes it middle of nowhere by default. And yeah, I'm not a conservative Christian either and while I was a boy scout (achieved the rank of Eagle too) and have gone camping plenty of times and usually enjoyed it, my peers at the time acted like I was some kind of freak because I had never gone hunting and wasn't all that interested in doing so. I guess it's probably a good thing I didn't come out of the closet until shortly before moving away. That would have been hell in middle school.
>and thanks... it's been 11 years, so i'm feeling better, but i still have moments ://Same here. I just try to remember the good things about my dad and look past his flaws.

>>1163852
it's a brutally shitty feeling when you feel like you are the only one trying to save somebody you love, and when it fails, and all that effort goes up in smoke... i wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone ever... i'm so sorry you had to experience that with your father.
my mom was never in a hospital bed with a plug to pull. but when you say that your action to pull the plug felt like murder, i can't help but think of all the times i wished my mom had died leading up to that point, "if she was gone, then i wouldn't have to suffer her emotional abuse, her drunk tyrades, none of it anymore"
and then i would be so horrified that i wished death on my own mother. i don't think most people truly understand what it's like to want a loved one gone, but i don't wish that on anyone. and then when it did happen, i felt such immense guilt... i got what i wanted in the end...
i don't know what kind of relationship your father had with others, but you wanted him to get better and to pull around. he left the world with that, and i think you are a beautiful person for doing that much for him, even if it feels like it blew up in your face.
you aren't alone in that pain. mine maybe a different flavor, but i see a lot of the same pain and baggage, and i see you with it, just like i see me. you are not alone...>>1163854you got farther than me in boy scouts. i lasted a month, and after i had a panic attack during a winter cabin retreat, i dropped out of it immediately :P
and coming out in middle school seems like a death sentence, so i don't blame you at all for staying in the closet about that! i didn't come out until highschool, and even then it was a ballsy ass move
and i try to understand my mom, she was in pain, and self medicated, and had her own traumatic backstory, but i also honor the part of me that hates her for what she did to me. it's complicated and messy, and i just to have to accept that is how it has to be...
sorry about your dad though, it's always rough losing somebody, regardless of the pain they put you through.

>>1163855>you got farther than me in boy scouts. i lasted a month, and after i had a panic attack during a winter cabin retreat, i dropped out of it immediately :PThat's somewhat understandable, going on a winter campout as your first experience would be rough. That said, if you ever get the chance, I definitely recommend trying out igloo/snow mound camping sometime. It's a lot warmer and comfier than you'd think
>and coming out in middle school seems like a death sentence, so i don't blame you at all for staying in the closet about that! i didn't come out until highschool, and even then it was a ballsy ass moveTo be honest, I was also deeply in denial. When I came out to my mom, I got the impression that she figured out that I was bisexual before I did.
>and i try to understand my mom, she was in pain, and self medicated, and had her own traumatic backstory, but i also honor the part of me that hates her for what she did to me. it's complicated and messy, and i just to have to accept that is how it has to be...Exactly. Celebrating their good traits and fond memories of them doesn't necessarily mean denying that their flaws existed.
>sounds like an awesome plan! you gonna vlog it?I've thought about what I'll do to chronicle it, assuming I'll do so at all. I've never been much of a diary writer but that's probably mainly because I've never felt like there was much to write about that would be meaningful to me or to others later on. But maybe with this, while I probably wouldn't do a vlog (I've always been camera shy), maybe if I find a story that others might find meaning in, I'll try my hand at gonzo journalism, Hunter S Thompson style (but probably not loaded up on psychedelics)
>heh, i've only flown over it once to go to North Carolina, but i've driven through it dozens of times. and I-70 through Kansas is the most mind numbingly boring thing you'll ever experienceYeah, it sounds like it. I'll have to find something there to look forward to

Sometimes I wanted to save everyone else in my family from my dad ... and wished he was dead. He traumatized all of us with his violence, especially when he was drunk. He traumatized all of us, and set me and my brother against each other cause I wasn't getting it as bad as him, and looking back on it, I wouldn't have had nearly as distant a relationship as I have with my brother, and deep down somewhere I still feel bitter at my dad in all the ways he fucked us both up to the point we're both barely functional.
It wasn't until I learned more about my dad's past that I saw myself becoming like him and I changed significantly while fixing my relationship with him (after both my aiblings moved out). He was full of regret cause he knew it was his own fault my siblings hated him.
To this day I still have dreams where I'm having a screaming match with him and imaging all the ways traumatic events could have gone differently, with me enacting violence against him ... and sometimes screaming at him about how I'm glad he's dead, which always ruins my day when I wake up No.1163862

I mean... love plays an integral role in my life. It is, as the great rapper Jake Paul once said, every day, bro.
Affection... depends on if it's physical or not. Physical? Not a very big role. And that's good for me, I don't like being physical. Emotional or Mental affection, like words and stuff? Definitely a much bigger role. I am very vocally (or textually I suppose) affectionate with people, and I like for people to be the same way with me.
But basically, to close this out: A life without love is not a life worth living.

No.1163883
>32.What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And I mean that sincerely.
However, there is a time and a place for certain things, and there is such a thing as knowing your audience.
There's a VERY big difference between being in the privacy of your own home on your couch with a few friends that know when you are kidding and what yours and their own limits are, and sitting outside in front of a café loudly yelling things that any random passerby will hear.
I am by no means fussy with the jokes I make online, but I can assure you that me and a friend of mine on my couch watching a dumb movie will probably say things I would NEVER say in a YouTube video, especially since my YouTube videos aren't skits where I have a very clear-cut character to perform through.
None of that means I or my friends endorse the dark subject matter we joke about - the funny parts are the absurdity of the things, not the things themselves.
I believe humor is essential to survival. The world is too big, dark and complicated for us to handle it without allowing ourselves to laugh every now and then, even at the darker things that happen.
For example, Denmark has comedy events that are specifically designed for parents with terminally ill children - where joking about the situation is actively encouraged, because while the situation is obviously horrible, lighting the pressure a little goes a long way in making it bearable. And you better believe that for any dark joke being told, these comedians take doing this EXTREMELY seriously. It is not a job anyone takes lightly.
On the flipside, while you as a person are entitled to your own standards and your own ideas of what is and isn't acceptable, you are not necessarily owed everyone else catering to them. If a TV show or a stand-up comedian makes a joke you don't like (and here we are assuming said joke isn't made with the deliberate intention to cause actual harm) you can absolutely both dislike it and voice that - but you have no right to tell them they can't make that stuff to begin with. It may well be their way of dealing with things that just happen to be different from yours.
When you watch a show, or go to a performance or whatever, that's THEIR craft, and your ticket is not a proof of ownership, it's an entrance slip. You're paying for the privilige to hear what they have to say - you aren't hiring them to say whatever you just decided you want to hear but also never actually told anyone and just expect them to know instinctively.
The world is huge and complex. And so is every single of the billions of people on it. We're never gonna please absolutely everybody, and nobody is ever going to be able to please us 100% of the time. You're going to have to find your own way to deal with these things, and accept that other people have theirs.
And if we could all manage to do that, while respectfully just removing ourselves from the things that upset us without feeling the need to force it to become a gigantic culture war based entirely on our own sensibilities, we'd all be better off.

>>1163939ah finally! i have a very clear answer for this one!
I would choose Body, and here's why
mind and body are not 2 different things, they are one in the same, and an effect on one effects the other. if one exersises and stretches and meditates, their mind benefits. if they eat garbage and lay around, then the mind suffers.
if the body stays young and healthy for the remainder of ones life? that is HUGE because of not only that health part of being able to regularly exersise and gain maximum benefit from good diet and practice, but also the social aspects as well
cause as one ages, the less they can do physically. they can't play rough, they can't party as much, they lose stamina in social settings a lot faster. and this is a trend that only worsens as one gets older, until they can barely leave home anymore if at all.
now this is somewhat mitigated by senior homes, providing a community for the elders that allows them to maintain social connections and exersise and diet for a while. but eventually that deteriorates into assisted living, then to intensive care, and then hospice. and that's assuming some other thing like heart attacks or a stroke or something doesn't take you out first.
we accept aging and death because it's natural and everyone will go through it, but if you look at it objectively, it's a terrible thing for anyone to go through under other circumstances. and having clarity through that may make it more tolerable, but it's gonna catch up to you
now if you have a healthy body, i would argue the mind will stay on par with your body. it will be worked out, it will be able to keep up momentum, and it will have a lot of the same upkeep that it has now or when you were younger
i am not a brain specialist, so i don't know if the brain itself will do things that is seperate of the body, and i can see somebody still get dimensia and alzheimers. but i think that would drastically reduce simply because your mind will be much more active for much longer for much more sustained moments at a time! plus your quality of life will just be better way over all, especially with the ability to just be social all you want, and to be just as rough and tumble in 50 years as you are now!
so i would choose body. i would want my health and to feel good in my body well into my twilight years, to not fear falling, heart attack, or strokes or other degenerative things to the body. and i'd trust that would help my brain stay in tip top shape as well!
and if it doesn't, then i would be the easiest to manage dimensia patient int he memory care, and if i fall, nobody will worry that i broke a hip, or a shoulder, and that would be great for all of us!

>>1163941Honestly I don't even know how good a dementia patient with a fit body would be. Like you said, sure you wouldn't be worried about broken bones from short falls, but on the other in that state you could become violent. The only solace I had when my mother started hitting the doctors and nurses was that she was too weak to really hurt them.
Not to mention the loss of your identity. Peeled away like an onion until you yourself have nothing left but a loose impression of what you once were. Nowhere is home. No one is family.
The pain it inflicts on those around you. Until that pain becomes numbness. I guess it is different for everyone in that regard, how fast it's processed. Some people can't really do it at all.
If it were me, I think I'd rather live like Stephen Hawking than how my mom did.

>>1163933Also just, yanno, entertaining your friends and letting them entertain you with their company without assuming the worst of any statement they make in jest.
Yeah, they are. Too bad I poison them with my presence.

>>1163951>How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people's?Yikes, I wish I could say we have any significant similarities or cultural tastes. My childhood was filled with lots of pain that hasn't healed yet. Leaving my family to forge my own path certainly does make me a bit happier, I'll say that. You know what, I am glad I'm an adult, lad. Hell yeah! Screw the past.

>>1163969Trick question to get me to reveal my valuables, is it? Well, I'd either go with "what's monetarily most valuable" since that's sort of a big deal after you've lost most everything in a fire, or my NAS. By itself it's not that expensive but there's a lot of hard to replace stuff on that. Photos, documents, home videos... all good to go in just one grab.

>26.Complete this sentence: "I wish I had someone with whom I could share..."Hmmm. Actually not sure. I guess someone I could share more of my creative endeavors with. The only real IRL creative partner I have is the guy I do a podcast with, and as much as I enjoy that, I wish I had someone that "got" and collaborated on otehr things I wanna do with videos, games, etc.

>>1163982>If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?That's a poorly-worded question. It's too open. One quality or ability could be 'I want to be a bit kinder' or 'I want to be princess regnant of the entire world'. Though maybe that's the idea, that I'm supposed to respond to it with how I initially interpret the query and people can infer stuff about me from that.
Anyway me bitching about the question being too open isn't actually answering the question. My first reaction was 'I want to wake up as a cisgirl, as in a girl who isn't a transgirl' so that's what I'm going with.
>Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most disturbing? Why?My mother. Haha joke about me posting Rydia goes here.
Basically she's the person I've most consistently been able to rely on for support throughout my life. And that means a lot considering I've done a lot of stuff I still beat myself up over like 15 years later or something.
Also I live with her and I don't know how the fuck to Exist in a house by myself they didn't teach me that shit at school.

>>1163999>I wish I had someone with whom I could share...I dunno. I feel like the main thing I'm missing from my circle is someone to dress up and go out to music and dance events. I do have friends for certain gigs.
Other thing is finding clubs that actually play good music. Like seriously. Music is fucking trash.

>>1163888>33.If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet?That's kind of a difficult question. I try to tell people that I care about them, and the people I feel like I didn't convey that to, or didn't convey it enough I no longer have the opportunity to.
