no one is ever going to see this so I guess I'll just rant at no one. I feel tense, jittery. I want to punch something. I want to scream and yell and throw things. I have no idea where all this emotion is coming from. maybe I'm tired. my hear is racing faster and faster and I can feel the adrenaline burning in my veins. what the fuck is wrong with me? I don't feel okay. I'm scared. fuck!

hello to you both


I believe I have a lust addiction.

I've been spending more and more time lately looking up... not strictly porn... mostly cartoons and comics of sexual fantasies that wouldn't be possible, or at least only possible once. but the point is, I've been spending so much time feeding my lust, I haven't been able to focus on projects I want. I've wasted away a lot of my time, and not only does that make me feel awful already, I feel bad because my wife is frustrated that she's only ever in the mood while I'm at work. maybe I'm just sexually frustrated, but then... well I'm frustrated in general. I'm not sure where I'm going with this. it's 2am

we've tried to, but she's been sick lately, which also hasn't helped. I kinda feel bad too. I have a bit of a lust addiction, and I've been craving sex in general, not necessarily intimacy. though I suppose it's hard to say I don't crave intimacy when we're sort of initimate all the time. We cuddle and snuggle a lot, and she's very huggy and kissy all the time. just no sex lately. Is it wrong to crave specifically sex? not just... well, her?

It's 1:30am

We are doing a sort of roleplay thing together. We're exploring part of a fantasy world I created for a book. effectively fan fiction before the main plot exists. it's a fun way to step into the world and learn about it, and interact with each other as things we couldn't be otherwise.

>>15642  What has she been sick with?
I don't think it's wrong to crave sex.  But the manner in which you satisfy your cravings could be an issue.  The most important thing is that she doesn't feel resentful that you're getting your fix from something/someone else, since that could lead to a negative feedback loop and end in disaster.  If spontaneous sex isn't happening, you might try something like scheduling it (and perhaps scheduling some other activities beforehand to get you both in the mood).
That sounds like a fun activity.

To be honest, I feel frustrated when my libido rises. I know it's natural, but it's not for me. I have decent willpower, but if needed, my ssri's act like good anaphrodisiacs.

I want to drive down to the end of the highway
Where fire burns tires and in the end I’ll have it my way
Because I’m trying to be the best part of me
But the best part of me is not what I can be
when my eyes are in flames and my heart’s leaking water
I hope that these parts of me don’t leave my thoughts because
thoughts can become actions and actions can hurt others.
Is fire who I would want raising my daughter?
My mind hurts my heart and my heart hurts my body
My body’s exploding from the pressure inside of me
And the people I love have shrapnel embedded in places I wish I had known I was headed.
Now the fuse is alight and the bomb’s gonna blow
So the highway’s the place where my heart meets the road.

Redline  Red eyes
Red on the road for the things that won’t let me go
Eyes that can see only things that hurt me
in the past when I lacked the vision to see
through the hurt and the pain to the tears and the rain
that fell on my heart and the hurt that I gained
When I tried to love people more than myself
I was the thing that sent me to hell
My heart I would drown in the sorrows that pounded
through leather and pedals and sirens and sounds of life
Sounds of excitement. Screaming through teeth that ground veins to enlightenment
Lighting that flooded my body with joy as the fire burned tires and man into boy
as the lane marks sped by like the days of my life.
Red was the color that kept me from dying

Is red the only color that I can see?
Is it possible that maybe I can learn to be
a blue fire. Calm and collected.
Can I touch burning hearts without becoming infected
By the poison that drips from the pages of my history
Written in the blood of my tainted victories
consisting of skins of the promises made
But delivering only emotional graves
The asphalt bereavement of lies and deceit
Is a furnace of anger directed at me
Because red is the line where I feel most alive
when my heart and my mind and my body are lying
About why I can’t sleep and why all of my trying
Has given me only more hiding and crying
I throttle the rage so I don’t burn my soul
The red line’s the reason my heart isn’t whole

I honestly don't know. I've been driving aggressively lately. I'm angry a lot. I can't sleep much. I've been running more, punching my heavybag more. And I feel a deep longing for the road.

The wife's been struggling at work. If it's not someone who looks like the kid who molested her in kindergarten, it's a former boss who's a volunteer and doesn't understand the concept of positive reinforcement and avoiding "should"s.
Work is actually fantastic. I love my job, and I've been doing more faceting work, and I'm lined up to start working on it nearly all the time. Haven't been into reading much lately. I'm a little stressed because when we went over our budget, we realized with the job re-shuffle we're now about $200 short of our comfort budget, which means we need to rely on the tight belt one which is... less comfortable, but at least it's liveable.

>>15670
I had some clarity this morning and realized it's a combination of things. On the one hand, everything here is talking about a lot of mistakes and regrets in my past, and how adrenaline used to be the drug I used to escape people, stress, depression, life. I was dead inside, and flying down the highway at 100+mph, dodging cars at 5000+rpm was my emotional high.
All of that's in there, but it's in my past. It's all been reconciled, but it's been stirred up because I'm struggling with a different kind of addiction these days, and the demons that want me to fall back into old habits are trying to rekindle the emotions that led to those habits.

with my wife being stressed, and me being tense, we were wearing ourselves thin just trying to support each other, and I'd been sliding back into my addiction, and it was... well not pretty.

a bit of prayer has us feeling hopeful

No, but I see why you might think that. No, I would say it's the other way around. My tendency to look for a fight probably helped lead me to the military.

And you're half right anyway. I sought adrenaline like a drug in those days, but more because it was the only way I felt alive. Pain is a glorious feeling when it's the only thing you know how to feel, and the high of adrenaline, even moreso. I suppose I developed a sort of comfort relationship with it that lingers to this day, and crops up whenever things get crazy.

Well, you're hardly the only one to do that.

Can't say it's something I share though. The refuge I found was shoving everything down until I didn't feel it anymore. Kind of. I used and still use sadomasochism as a release valve. And for fun, admittedly.

Feeling pensive this morning. A character in the book I'm reading is struggling with the meaning of honor. Is it honorable to remove an incompetent leader by force? Or it is honorable to lead from beneath, inspiring even your superiors to become better than themselves? What do you do when you see know right way forward? Whom, and what, do you choose to become?

I wonder about my own life. Am I meant for more than a simple, earnest living? I was once called a mover and a shaker? I was once filled with a firestorm of passion. I seek peace, but am I meant to be peaceful? Or am I meant to shake the world? Perhaps for now, my world. What must I become, to change what is before me? What would you have of me, God? Who am I meant to be? How may I find and heal the hurting of the world I experience? How may I love them best? How may I embody honor, and wisdom?

I'm scared my friend might be dead. I finally got her to consider therapy last night and we filled out the questionnaire together, and at the end it gave her a 24/7 crisis line. She talked to them for 20 minutes and they suggested rehab and she said she didn't want to do rehab again because it always makes everything worse. That was the last thing she said 24 hours ago. I've been texting her all day and she hasn't responded and I'm really scared

I see.

That she didn't say anything is worrying indeed. I cannot say for certain and I do not know her, but there are other possibilities as well. Not that it helps you, but she could be in a state where she's... close but hasn't gone through with it. She might be looping and unwilling to respond. Depending on how aware she is of certain things, she may not be willing to talk right now because she doesn't want to "threaten" to do so because that's an abuse tactic. In that headspace, often the last thing anyone is willing to do is commit what to them is more harm.

You're going to just have to keep an eye on it and see if she will respond. I... know it feels bad. That's unfortunately all you can do.

I'm stuck in my head today. A whirlwind of thoughts are swirling around. What if I'm a lie? Are the things I want to say just things I hoped would get someone's attention? Did I trick myself into thinking I was something that could relate to the people around me so that they might talk to me? Did I make up this thought hoping it would be a good enough lie? Do I want to be broken so badly? Would that make me feel better? Maybe I just wish I could feel what others feel when they bring me their pain. If I could just tell them they're not alone... Do I just want to not be alone? Do I lie so that I can pretend I'm not alone? Why do I feel alone? Do I not have friends? But is that friendship built on a lie? Is that what I am? A series of lies?
Is the part of me I call separate from myself just the part that I covered with a lie because the world didn't want it? Or am I the one who had to make up another piece of me that looked like someone worth helping? I don't remember most of my past. I have to make it up all the time. And I usually get it wrong. Did I make up the trauma? Did I make up the suicide? Did I make up the dysphoria? Does it even matter anymore. False or not the memories are there. Aren't they?
I don't want to be a lie. I don't want to pretend to need help either. Maybe I'm just tired today. I don't know what's what. My head lies to me too often. I feel like I want a hug. I want to feel like I'm me. I want to be able to believe myself beyond a shadow of a doubt. Maybe I just need some sugar.

This is fucking big.

growing up I used to think my dad hated me because he always looked at me with disdain, and nothing I did ever seemed to be good enough for him. Well, it came up in group therapy, that there are parts of my past I've hidden from myself, that I don't fully remember, and I decided to talk to my dad about it.
I told him everything, about why I'm in therapy, and about what we think might be hidden. And of course that I now know he never hated me, but was just frustrated. He told me about something I never knew about, because I wouldn't have understood it at the time. I wasn't the only one in my family who got treated poorly by other members of our church growing up. It was all of us: me, my brothers, my mother, even my dad. They didn't like us, and I'm not sure why, but we were all mistreated. He was only hard on us because he was afraid of giving the others any reason to have us all removed from the church. This extended to school. I remember being bullied, but I didn't know I was nearly expelled several times. More than once each year. My mother, but my Dad especially, fought to keep me in school, while trying to find ways to teach me to fit in well enough that he wouldn't need to fight so hard with the school.

I thought he hated me, or just had impossible standards. Turns out my dad was my biggest hero all along. And I never knew.

I tell myself I don't need her because saying I want her back only highlights how much she's not coming back. People leave. It's part of life. They just leave you behind like you never mattered and they don't care that your heart is shattered and you get to pick up the pieces on your own, and you keep finding them years later, and it's never enough. And you just have to move on because it's never going to be the way it was, and wishes don't come true. I don't need her. I'm fine. I can move on.

But it's a lie. I'm not fine. I don't know how to move on. I don't want to. I want her back. I want to talk to her again. I want to Walk on the beach again. I want my life to feel more like a collection of leaves than a jagged strip with all the dying parts cut off.

I want to cry. I want to let her go. But in the same breath. I want her back.

Writing this letter to my former friend feels more euphoric than I thought it would have any right to be.


Steve

I think I understand why you and I have been "at odds" for the last eight years. For our entire friendship. I was the one who needed help. I was small, and weak, and insecure. When I went to boot camp, I learned to shed off those qualities. I am not small now. I am not weak now. I am not insecure now.

But I wonder if you might still see me that way. I wonder if you think I'm being fake because I don't need you anymore the way I once did. I wonder if maybe you're struggling to accept that.

I think you have made several attempts to reassert that paradigm over the last few years. Claiming to practice a magic I can't use, criticizing every romantic relationship I enter into, insisting I take your financial advice, beating me over the head with your knowledge of politics, insisting that everyone but you is too sensitive, accusing me of being sensitive and demanding, and now claiming that I am lying to myself about who I am. Do you realize that you've been gaslighting me for over a decade?

You weren't always this way. I remember a day in 7th grade when you came and begged me to sit with you at lunch. You admitted fault, and apologized for the actions that hurt me. I recall in 8th grade, when you gave up your own money to replace a souvenir mug I had bought for myself and then broken. I remember a man of loyalty, who would jump to fight anyone who insulted or mistreated me. I miss that man. I loved him dearly.

And maybe you just miss the boy I was, because protecting him made you feel powerful. Steve, I'm not the scared little boy you once knew. I am a grown man. I am a Marine. I am a husband. I am a skilled tradesman. And I have my own issues to deal with, but I'm dealing with them, and I'd like to ask you to do the same.

This however, is no longer my issue. I have given you every grace now that I can afford. You have hurt me and someone I care about, you have disrespected me and my wife, and you have thrice now refused to make amends. Every attempt to repair our friendship has been met with deflection, insults, and blame. This is not my problem, Steve. This is your problem. You broke our friendship, and it is your responsibility to fix it, or accept that we won't be speaking anymore.

I don't know what you're dealing with, but I hope you'll get help. I love you, I wish you the best, and I hope to hear from the man I knew in Highschool, whenever he returns.

Until then, I love you, and Goodbye.

Excisising someone from your life, especially someone you are accustomed to the presence of is very likely going to cause some distress even if on a rational level you recognize it as a good thing for yourself. It's different from drifting apart because when the drift happens, you have become adjusted to their absence over a period of time.

So while I cannot judge your feelings for you, it could be it's a sense of loss, rather than sadness in particular you are feeling. If you are concerned that you've been getting gaslit, this could be an opportunity to self-inquire on the nuances of what you're feeling right now.

Yeah that makes sense. This guy's been my best friend for the majority of my life. He's basically family. I've been ignoring so much for so many years. But he hurt my wife. I can't ignore that. I never thought he would do this to me.

Yeah I'm just grieving the loss of someone who was a huge contributor to my understanding of social Nuance. I also hate letting go of people in general. I will put up with a lot before I give someone the boot, and even then I'm never happy about it.

She's aware, but it doesn't come up often. We also haven't really shown her the others. Tara can't speak and Rachel gets really bad dysphoria and refuses to use my voice, so either of them fronting when we have to actually interact with other humans in person becomes a big problem. Recently someone recommended I try vocal exercises to give her a voice she's comfortable with but there are other things about our body that make her uncomfortable and while we have prosthetics, it's just so much work each time and I usually have to come back out for lots of reasons especially late evening and at work and we've just never put in the extra effort. Easier to just let her post online when she's feeling it.

Not quite. The most common ones involve me losing my free will. I could've sworn I had normal dreams when I was younger. Like, they're not even nightmares. Just someone else controlling the body. I don't even know what to think about it. The last one was about some master in a mansion and I was their pet. The one before that was some hypnotist training me to dissociate into whatever mindscape I'm suppose to have. Interesting, but not very fun dreams....But I do recall being a cloaker from that Payday 2 game helping Lester from GTA 5 complete a hack into a data center. Now that's a fun dream!

Portfolio income has favorable tax rates at least in the United States compared to earned income. I tell people the safest investment would be a monthly contribution to an index fund that tracks an S&P 500 index. The annualized return is about 10 percent with dividends reinvested according to history. An index fund is diversified, which inherently carries less risk than an individual stock. You don't even need to obtain one share. Fractional shares are a thing. The idea is to let your gains compound in an index fund through the decades without selling a single share. Day traders don't have favorable tax advantages, and I recommend most people to not become a pattern day trader. I day trade because I want to make a large sum within my youth. Other people should just let their money compound through the decades, ideally in a Roth IRA. Becoming a day trader was one of the best decisions I've made, but most people don't make the cut. It can be quite stressful.

I favor friends from higher socioeconomic classes, which means I've developed bonds with the right people. They gave me the proper orientation and assured me a way to move up the ladder, given that I put in the effort and remain consistent. I feel this wouldn't be possible if my host didn't have me. They have different tastes. And I've seen the struggles people go through first-hand to live a good life. My goal is to achieve upper class status. That feels like a good purpose in life, I think.

He's always been there for me even when I feel at my lowest. Known him for a few years and sent him gifts. I implored him to not reciprocate when I send him something nice. His companionship is always a pleasure. Say, he went to the extent of saying that he would give me his kidney.. Quite unexpected, but it feels good to know that he values me so highly. I'm confident our relationship will last a lifetime.
So, I met him in a shady community and we talked about our traumas. What we've been through, who we know, and our hopes and dreams. I've never met someone else so relatable. I insist that I not go too into detail, but it is my pleasure to share what I can.

It's a system of trial and error. I don't expect it to work for everyone.

You could do it sitting down, but I prefer to lay down. I breathe through my nose and out my mouth 10 consecutive times in a slow manner. Focusing very closely with each inhale and exhale. Ideally in a dark room with my eyes closed. I try to clear my mind and become aware of every feeling in the body. Then I proceed to do the complete opposite once I'm well acquainted with every feeling from my body and detach from those sensations and everything starts to feel numb while I'm focusing on my mindscape. I just imagine an island with a beautiful orange sunset as well as hearing the waves clashing. It's a peaceful feeling.

My heart and mind and soul are telling me you built me wrong
Could you please just send me back Lord, and do it right this time.
I don't need to know what's coming, just let my body match my mind.


This is my heart song to you
Let me write what's on my heart Lord
And let me hear what's on yours

Lord you promised me a daughter
With a fire in her eyes
Will I never carry her into this world with my cries?
You promised me a lover who would see into my soul.
She's lying here beside me why do I still not feel whole?

My eyes are full of tears Lord
But the world won't let me cry
Am I the one who's broken
Or are they the ones who lie?


If this is who I'm meant to be then why did all my best friends leave
Why is it You've cursed me with this life

I was made to fill a purpose. Was I given too a life? Lord you've made me a strong husband, when I longed to be a wife.
I am grateful for the beauty that you've shown me in this world. But since you long to hear my heart Lord...

Ten years ago I was employed by Bronycon. I had energy and ambition, I was respected by everyone I knew. I felt as though I held the world in my hand, and I had a cheery optimism that just never quit. People on Bronycon staff said there was no question I was the living embodiment of Pinkie Pie.

I feel as though my energy is gone, I'm afraid of ambition, I'm so fragile I can't even run anymore, and I feel depressed all the time.

How much ten years can change. I want to return to where I was. I am certain I can do it after I learn how. I wonder what lifted me to such heights, what brought me down, and how I can get around the new challenges I face.

Or perhaps that chapter is over and I should write a new one. Can it be happy too? Am I even the same person, with the same desires?

Perhaps my foundation is flawed. Would my optimism return if my finances turned around? I feel no less free than I did then. Has my perspective shifted to something untenable? How can I return to unquenchable optimism and ambition?

But on top of that, especially stop asking other people to pretend you are a victim with you! They probably miss you but nobody is gonna make a thread about you or take some ridiculous stand on your behalf because that's not how normal people work. You are playing games with your friends, isolating yourself to see if they react the way you think they should. Get over your insecurity and just join them again.

Anyway, i know this is some secret club for certain people so I'll be on my way.

I appreciate you apologizing. But anyways, Nonny already sealed his fate. I'm afraid we can't be friends or even proper acquaintances. Hell, I never was his Discord friend nor did I even join a server of his. To be honest, he was suspicious from the start. His unbelievable display when Zeke was still around as developer was plenty of evidence for me about his mentality. Well, if there's any advice that could be given to him, it would be to drink less and cut down the weed. The only drug I take is caffeine, heh. Well, that and just microdosing estrogen. And if it's any consolation, I place greater trust on you compared to Nonny. Nonetheless, I must prioritize this site since I gave my word to Moony.

10 years is an extremely long time. Emotions and physical states can often overlap and it can be a viscious cycle. Back in high school I used to be really into my physics class and I remember that there was a form of kinetic energy required to move a stationary object. A stationary object will move only if the applied force is greater than the friction force between the object and the ground.

Human beings can be sort of like that at times when it comes to motivation, happiness and satisfaction in one's life. I hate to sound like one of those toxic positivity people, but sometimes we need a push to get rolling in the first place; to get out of being stagnant and stationary.

This is the way of the warrior.

This is what an actual psychopath looks like. Not patrick Bateman, but rather someone cold and emotionless with no true sense of empathy for those around them. Someone who tries to manipulate their so called friends.

What do you mean by "They"? You and old Sacchy are literally the same person using two different names. As for being a psychopath, you fit the bill quite well. You pretend to be friendly with people, charming upon initial meeting, and inclusive when necessary; when it suits your needs. But the moment anyone does anything to cross you; even if it's the slightest hint of offense, you will cut them from your life and begin to cut those around you who are associated to the offender. In truth you don't feel a true connection to those around you as deeply as someone who isn't a psychopath would. You show traits of a functional psychopath.

It's actually quite ironic; after I snapped at you, you told me that you were glad I had shown my true colors or whatever, but as time has gone on you've absolutely shown to people that you're a wolf in disguise. You did me a favor in all reality. If I had continued to be your friend, I would have began to care about you and then actually gotten pretty hurt by your own manipulation and detachment.

I'm not entirely fragmented, but yeah, I suppose I had more than one issue in regards to sailboat's site.
One of them being his incompetence in regards to handling his mod team, and of course you... It was an absolute pleasure to leave the site nonetheless to allocate time for more important endeavors. Speaking of which, aren't you banned? Could've sworn I saw a thread about you drinking and claiming to commit an act of self-harm based on this site's mod team being allegedly rude towards your opinions. Sailboat here deserves no reply based on him talking about me eating feces and dying, which is against the rules I'm sure. If he isn't banned already, he ideally should be. All I see here is a goofball and an absolute genius telling me to die.

Me? Is that suppose to hurt me? Interesting how that was never brought up as a personal issue until after you stormed off in a hissy fit, and only after the person you were talking shit about (Sailboat) behind their back decided to say some things as well. No, I don't blame boat at all for telling you to fuck off. You kind of deserve that.
His mod team? You mean myself and the only one other person? It isn't much of a team, so much as it is just two other people volunteering their time to a place they care about. There isn't much to handle really. I offer an extra pair of eyes in case someone posts something illegal, and that's really about it. To be honest nobody really noticed or cared about your disappearance because it wasn't that big of a deal.

>>16192  I just want you to know, that as far as I'm concerned, /cartoon/ started going to shit the moment "all of you" showed up.  Do you want to know the difference between us?  I don't go into places you're sure to visit, and start talking about you "publicly" behind your back, telling everyone what a low life literal whore you are while pretending you aren't going to see it.  And that's why I invited Nonny.  He is, after all, a friend of mine, unlike yourself as you have previously stated.

If you want me banned, here's a tip, just keep sucking Moony's dick.  Eventually you'll become a mod, and you can be the one wielding the ban hammer.  Or better yet, use your nonexistent "cybersecurity" expertise that you won't shut up about to become a "developer", and then become a de facto mod that way.  Don't worry, developers don't actually have to do any developing around here, so the fact that you don't know a goddamn thing won't be a detriment.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you were the person coming by multiple times a day to spam CP, as the spammer clearly has had beef with Nonny specifically.

>>16197  In the interests of maintaining the tiniest modicum of civility, I don't that is a good idea right now.

P.s.  Hey Maxwell, remember that dog of mine that nearly bankrupted me with her vet bills 8 years ago that you so kindly loaned me money to keep alive, and that I paid you back with interest, and that you think means I'm forever indebted to you?  That same dog is once again bankrupting me.  And I'm about to spend the next...  probably 17 hours dealing with her vet bullshit.  But don't worry, I won't be asking you to borrow a dime.  Because I don't want you bringing it up again in fucking 2037.

P.p.s.  Maybe you should take a tiny fraction of your piles of money, and invest in an online course in how to update the home page of ponyville.  It's only been...  4 months!  Wow how time flies.

P.p.p.s.  You and your troglodyte "girlfriend" can both suck my dick.

Conflict is actually quite healthy from time to time. It might not seem like it at the moment, but these are feelings that have probably been within held for a long time from both of their sides. I don't think boat hates you when he says Saccharine is trying to "Suck your dick." I think he is frustrated with the clear shifting in friendships based on positions of power.

Composure and uncalloused and uncaring dismissal of emotion and previous friendships can hurt. It's frustrating when you find out someone never really cared in the first place and was likely never even capable. What ole' Sacchy Wasshy doesn't realize is that relationships in any regard are sacred and should be treated with genuine sincerity.

It'll be okay. Sometimes it's necessary for a deeper understanding within people. And if they never get along again, well at least they know where they stand.

I get it. It's a little sad. "Why can't we just get along?" These are questions that human beings have asked each other since the dawn of man's time.

Emotions are a part of us. The good and the bad. It's healthy to have the ability to be sad. Sometimes it's even a little healthy to wallow in our own misery. The problem comes when we become motionless for far too long, like a wheel at rest. Whether it be through self-harm and self-destructive behaviors, depression, apathy, or some other combination of it all. Sometimes the first step is to look within and ask yourself: "What is it that you want?" What exactly are you feeling? And pick out the most painful details.

Emotional wounds are often like physical ones; the process of healing is often times more painful than the initial wound itself. Sometimes a wound gets infected and festers, and you've got the scrape off the gunk and before you can properly irrigate, disinfect, and clean it all out. Sometimes you have to let the blood flow before the healing can begin.

There will be times where you feel lonely. There are times where you might feel like you're slipping into the black abyss of a vast and freezing ocean, plunging down into the deepest and darkest trenches of her waters. Just try to remember that happiness implies misery; life implies death; and stagnation implies growth. These are fundamental truths; concepts in this thing we call existence.

Here's a tip from a fellow kindred soul who has plenty of experience with pain: you don't have to go through it alone. It's okay to be by yourself and think these things through, but never forget that there are people who surround you in your life that might deeply care enough to help; even if it's something as simple as speaking with you, listening to music, or playing a game with you. It's okay to ask someone for a little push.

We all make mistakes. That is a part of the human experience. I can't offer words to 'fix' anything, because that isn't always how life words, but:

You can't control what others do in response to your own actions. All you can do is control is what you learn and how you're going to possibly fix it, even if fixing it means doing nothing at all. Everything is contexual. It may seem painful now, but there's an old mexican saying I know of: If you love a bird, you release it, and if it loves you back it will return. If it leaves forever, it found its own freedom; and if it returns then you will appriciate it more when it returns.

I don't know the circumstances, perhaps she needs some time to herself as well. She may be confused. Maybe you stepped over the line, or maybe she was a little to sensitive to the reality of whatever life has brought her. A place like this wants to think like is rainbows and sprinkles, but that isn't the reality of life. Life is full of pain; but it full of beauty as well. All you can do is accept the conflict and perhaps appreciate the little things you are granted in this life that are a blessing; be grateful. It will help. Write down everything you hate in life and in contrast everything you appreciate. Even if it is as little as possible like having a place to use the bathroom or clean water.

I know how it can be. I've mess up with a lot of people myself in the past, and honestly if you simply can admit your own mistakes; admit to them, and learn that whatever you did is unacceptable; and then learn from it, you may find yourself closer to happiness.

Just because the relationship ended doesn't mean you can't learn from your mistake. It is an opportunity to be a better person to those you may meet in the future. Sometimes you step in dog shit. All you can do is wash it off and hope for the best or get a new pair of shoes. The greatest apology you can give is to become a better person. Find the balance within your own life.

What I am getting at is that if you truly feel bad about it; apologize, hope for the best; and accept the consequences of your actions with grace, humility, and honor. DON'T use it as an excuse to ruin your life. Nobody will respect that.

You gave me a lecture I didn't want or need, and I tried to politely establish boundaries. Then you said "it doesn't hurt me" as though the conversation was even about you in the first place. I don't know what I did to make you think it was appropriate to attack me like that, and now you're accusing me of biting your hand, when all I did was ignore someone who clearly demonstrated they don't care about me. You obviously care enough to make this whole display, like you think you need to convince my friends I'm an asshole or something.

Now please stop projecting your shitty behavior onto me, and go away, or I can ask the modstaff to do something.

>you acted judgemental.
No, I did not. I was asking you genuine questions because I wanted to know what you were talking about. I was trying to understand you and listen.

I said it didn't hurt me because you were acting like it was supposed to be a stab of some sort. I will not be insulted for my kindness. I've proven before time and time again that they can't actually do anything to me.

yeah, and that's what it felt like you were doing to me. rather than listening to how I was feeling, it felt like you just wanted me to know what *you* thought of everything. which really hurt because it made me feel like you didn't care about me. and then when you said "it doesn't hurt me" it made me feel like you still thought the conversation was about you. That's why I said I don't think you understand. It sounds like you think I just attacked you for some reason, but all I've done is try to communicate. and now you're saying you *are* hurt. what's going on?

I think you do. I think you're someone who wants to connect and be vulnerable with someone, but youve been hurt a lot in the past, possibly even now, and you're so afraid to be hurt again you don't dare let anyone have any kind of edge over you. I think you wanted to connect with me, but when it started to go wrong you chose to denounce me rather than look vulnerable when you thought I could be an enemy.

I'm not your enemy. And I'm sorry we didn't understand each other. I actually thought we could be friends, which is why I asked you to reach out. I'm sorry it didn't work out. I wish you a world of less pain and better friends who can support you the way you need. Better than I could yesterday.

If you ever feel like giving it another shot, I also enjoy talking about the end in a cynical sarcastic view if I'm bored enough.

I hope you die. I hope your family dies first so you can experience anguish. I hope your wife dies in your arm screaming for mercy. I hope the two of you had a child so it can die along with her.

I agree with that. You're a good guy and I don't think it's right to talk shit about your site for things that you couldn't control. I think it's especially messed up to extend their perception of said site and act as though it reflects off of you directly as a person. Especially when the person doing it (Saccharine) likes to turn into a rules-monger when it suits their needs, which I find hypocritical. He tried to accuse me of ban evading and called for my own banning, but I let shit that go. At this point if Saccharine or anyone else wants to be mad at me, then I'm just their problem. I can only apologize so many times for any of my past behaviors and try to be a better person.

Take away what you will from that.

I'd still be cautious if I were you.
I still can't find a good reason as to why boat introduced them to this board. And I certainly don't believe that Nonny could find it of his own accord. Not trying to be rude, it's just my thoughts. Though I'm amazed about the mentioning of dying here in this thread. Jeez, how did it come to all this so easily. Though if you want to know a bit more about me, I have an apology acceptance limit where I stop taking apologies permanently from specific people. I'd say it's trauma related, but it was useful in the past for me. I wonder if that can change.
>>16260
Alright, I'll bite.
Though you're nearly in the same category as your wonderful friend in my eyes. Barely even a year of me knowing him. I just assume deceptive rhetoric on his part by default. Doesn't mean I think he's all that 100 percent. But I have a good idea at this point.
>Here you go again, with the passive aggressive shit talk.
Well sorry for being so provocative. I'd assume you'd just ignore me and let me acknowledge a fine individual. But I guess I get two for the price of one.
>The only reason I brought him up, was because he's the fake developer you aspire to be.
I literally have no idea what that was supposed to accomplish, given that I have absolutely no issue with Max. I'd likely just see them as a role model to a 25 year old like me and side to the hilt with them. Maybe if you become more like Max, you'd make around six figures at Meta. Heh, I'm really trying hard to not be very offensive.. I hope you realize the scope of telling someone to die, which is something I've never told you by the way. Is it because of just leaving a particular site permanently and being passive-aggressive? I suppose we do indeed find out who our real friends are along the way.
>Speaking of gainful employment, shouldn't you be sucking dick for cash behind a casino dumpster or something?  Those dicks aren't going to suck themselves.
I'm not going to deny being a slut and a deranged person, I'll say that.
>>16263
>You think I'm not going to defend myself once I find out?
Talking about people sucking dicks and telling them to die is an interesting way to defend oneself...
I guess that's all I want to say now.
I have nothing to say to your friend as evidenced by his troublemaking here. Can't be worth it, I assume.
Though I'll say this.. I don't wish to have friends that get riled up so easily. This board has been a pleasure for my personal rants. Didn't expect to strike a nerve in you. Also a bit sad to say I can't trust you very much. Feel free to punch me now. My only regret here is wishing I was more circumspect to preserve tainting a heavenly sent individual's thread who easily put up with my rants and more in ways that has exceeded my expectations.

because when I'm pissed off and hurt, and someone's asking me "what's wrong?" there's only so many times I'm willing to say "I can't tell you because reasons" before I finally say "fuck it, see for yourself" and link him here. It's not like I still have any friends here or on this site. If you think I'm just going to forfeit this place to you, to leave it to you as a place where you can shittalk me with impunity, after you stormed off and attempted to turn everyone here against me, you've got another thing coming. I will burn this board to the fucking ground before I let that happen. You think Nonny is bad? You have no idea. Don't fucking try me.

No you don't say anything directly. Because you're a passive aggressive shit.
>Is it because of just leaving a particular site permanently and being passive-aggressive?
I don't give a fuck if you leave or not.  But then you want to continue talking shit about me after leaving, in the place that was my one refuge on this site, and we've got a problem.
>I suppose we do indeed find out who our real friends are along the way.

It's the internet. Misunderstandings and miscommunications happen often. Combine that with the fact that a lot of people have forgotten how to speak with one another and actually attempt to show a bit of empathy for the other person and it leads to falling outs between people that once considered each other friends or friendly. One thing leads to another and the seeds of contempt can be planted; and eventually, they grow into a smoldering and toxic fuming bushel of hatred, fresh with the ripened fruits of hatred.

It's easy to see the bad in people and it's harder to understand the good, especially when those good intentions aren't communicated.

Do you ever sit in recovery from an emotional event or panic attack, and you feel fine but you just don't want to talk to anyone yet, so you just sit quietly and don't tell them you're okay? and you feel a little guilty about it but you're worried you might not actually be okay and you don't want to guess wrong so you just stay silent and pretend to be broken.
