Lets just say... intentionally killing civilians did happen...
Didn't you know before? There were videos released at the time of it happening.

@BHK

Not just a vent, but it's a good way to start. If they're going to work therapy magic on you, they've gotta have a baseline. I can't tell you what'll work for you, of course, everyone's different (!) but that's what worked for me and it sounds like you're in a similar spot to me.

And if you don't like the idea of a safe space, then they're like B12 except with a face and years of practice helping with issues. It's fundamentally the same, but better. Also if you need to you can shout at them, cry at them, whatever. It's actually quite relaxing, for me.

But like I said, everyone's different. If what I'm saying doesn't seem at all helpful, disregard it. No point in trying to solve problems in a way that doesn't make sense. Can't thin oil paints with water, and such.

How do you sum up a likely unlikely scenario in with one word?
'Plausible', if leaning more towards the likely, 'implausible' if towards the unlikely.

Plausibility is the chance that listeners won't immediately call you a liar if you tell them about some event.

Did I make you mad or something? Sorry about that.
Alright, thank you for the advice, then. I'll try.

do you ever have the chance to talk to people? talk to them as though they were boys, whose interests you do not know

girls are not particularly special
Basically this. They're still humans after all, they just have like 4 or 5ish different parts.
Yes, but I get basically no chances to talk to them
Make some.
Yeah, I know, but I'm trying to be helpful. :/
Also, you don't really need to talk to them, I mean, man, there are tons of other people around, I guess.

Nah, just trying to make it clear that this is all coming from my experience, which is different to yours (because I'm not you). It's good to try things, though, so keep on!

O no, no, no. It's even worse than that. No lawyer will be getting paid one single cent of that $8.5 Billion. That is money that state is giving up from the federal government, because it hates gays/doesn't want Supreme Court ruled marraige equality..... Same principle with laws about seat belts, 55 mph speed limits, and 21 year old drinking ages; states don't HAVE to have those laws, but the feds will cut off funding if they don't....

Now, this has the added wrinkle of not being one of those laws that can be opted out of if the state doesn't want the fed's money. That means this guy is peeing away $8.5 Billion for nothing, because it's doomed from the start. Your tax dollars at waste....

i just ment girls in general i guess. and i don't really know how to make good chances >.>

talking to people i dont really know in a group of people they know is really hard and disappointing most of the time

Well, it's not like you will fall into friendship/love after first talk, shit like that happens very rarely and is usually very stupid in longer run. Also try to bring something into the group, because, well, they kind of have to accept you in and the group rarely does that on it's own because, well, they're in group and they're comfortable with it, they don't need you so it's up to you to get in and possibly make them need you. Or something. Dunno.

Been given sleeping pills, apparently doctor thinks I've been dreaming too much so not getting the deep sleep, which has been hurting my general mental health. Sleeping on the pills feels weird. Everything is more..subdued. Memories of dreams are fuzzy flashes of images and sounds instead of vivid movie reels. Maybe I'm just too used to having bad dreams :S

I've never really noticed it, but I do see lots of people leaving off punctuation, especially in shorter posts. Maybe it's supposed to make it seem more conversational, but it kinda bothers me to see it. Not really enough to complain unprompted, but while we're talking about it...
