[TD1]

Don't you have relatives you could visit?

[mastahcheese]

Objective (and anyone else for that matter), I would love to talk to you through PM or IRC or whatever (so long as I actually have Internet access, which is sporatic at best ._. )

[Worldmaster27]

Well. Looks like it's the alcohol unit in health now.

[MaximumZero]

Today is one of those days where I feel hopelessly incompetent.

[Graknorke]

Don't you have relatives you could visit?

Well yes, but I don't know if it's just me, but while I do like my family, I don't find spending extended amounts of time (>2 hours or so) around them particularly enjoyable, especially if I'm not already in a sociable mood. At least with friends I feel obliged to act more cheery, which in turn leads to actually feeling better.

[TD1]

Oh. Well, with me it's the opposite. I prefer time with my family to my friends, mainly because with friends you feel slightly false.

[scrdest]

You clearly need better friends.

[TD1]

Nope, happy enough with the ones I have atm.

[Orange Wizard]

Well. Looks like it's the alcohol unit in health now.

I went to a Christian highschool, so for me it was less drunk driving and more "We're not saying you shouldn't drink, but if you drink, Satan himself will rise from hell and turn you into an alcoholic! You will never be able to stop! You will drink a billion beers every day and demons will devour you soul! That is why you must never drink!"
I may be exaggerating slightly. Though they also said porn will make you violent and abusive, which makes even less sense.

...

Anyway, I'm going to hop on the bandwagon and say that people are welcome to pester PM me whenever.

[Graknorke]

A lot of the time false is by far preferable to genuine.

[TD1]

If you say so. I have friends at school, the odd trip out, and family at home. I'm very content with my life, except for the odd bit of stress come exam times.

[Tack]

Chin up Truean.

You could always just move far away and ignore your parents until they get old enough to start begging for reconciliation.

Eh, I think different factors influence how people respond to drinking. Some people handle it fine and do a great job of using it moderately and responsibly. Others due either to personality, upbringing, genetics or just circumstance of life may have a harder time doing so.

Regarding the other topic, again eh. I think it's possible that kind of thing could lead to a decreased appreciation for the relationship between partners but I hardly think it would have such extreme effects as that in all but extreme cases.

It's really just life. It's full of all types of people all who respond to things differently and sometimes in hard to predict ways.

On a separate note, I feel incredibly melancholic lately. Everything feels like a chore and I just feel incredibly apathetic and lethargic.

[Graknorke]

I think there's something wrong with today. The amount of general melancholy are way above normal levels.

[Tiruin]

It's that you come online when most people are asleep they say.
People would talk to you and not ignore you when they are online they say.

Why the fuck do I even bother.

* Tiruin waves hands.

Hey, please stop treating us (or those on IRC) like possibly the people who treat you IRL.
We're not them. They aren't us. Pertaining to the attitudes upheld.
Also I'm in the Philippines and nobody is near me at all that I can talk to, unless you count Skyrunner, Reudh and the other Australians.

You could rather stop seeing everyone as hostile and ignoring you.
Unwarranted assumptions are lethal when they're uncontrolled, that way.
If in doubt (ie 'They're ignoring me D:<'), PM them. Ask them. Talk to them.
Don't assume right off the bat that its an intentional reaction being done.
Just keep on talking to people--if you feel ignored, PM the nearest person online who you believe can help talk you out of it; that includes the channel OPs if in IRC. No matter their predisposition towards you, they have a role to fulfill in regards to that point.

Please do not ever lose that inner fire of optimism Turuin. It is a terrible thing to have lost and a terribly difficult thing to locate once it goes missing. I would know. It is a wonderful tool, which tragically is not always the best one applied to the situation.

I believed for a moment that I made some progress locating mine again and was shot down by someone just now. It is disheartening. I will keep on trying though, I suppose.

I've seen worse than most people, during my childhood (through hell and back), so I'm pretty much used to the doubts heaped on me by people who don't know my past//haven't known what I'm built up on.

*hugs to y'all*
