'I was just going to dig into my chocolate cake, and instead I got dildos.|||People who expect you to carry their baggage are inherently toxic. Sometimes people with mental illness do this. You can offer support but the level of expectation in some people is not practical or...|||Strangely, no. People notice, but no one comments on it. The closest thing was a former boss saying I'm one of the quiet ones, but we need all kinds or something like that.|||Spotted: One shy, artistic nerd who still makes me feel protected and can be my partner in everything from fitness to gaming. :blushed:  His family is even like mine. Both our dads love old school...|||The reason I don't like your advice is because you've never bothered to learn about the situation you're advising me on. Your advice is not only useless as it doesn't apply and can't be acted on, but...|||The main compliment I get is on my voice. Maybe someday I'll be good at something other than omelettes.|||I like time to cool off when I'm mad. I get the same reactions.... people say I'm giving them the silent treatment. I'm not. I'm just composing myself so I don't say things I'll regret, or am...|||I think people eventually get to a hump where they can start evaluating their skill levels. A 5-year-old has no idea if their painting is good, really. A 25-year-old can see the flaws.  I stopped...|||I just like the taste of these particular Capri Sun pouches. Although I don't do well with intensity so I can't keep things dialed up to 100 all the time.  People do grow apart, sadly. If values,...|||I'm single. I put that in quotations, because I'm not in a relationship but I'm enjoying exploring my options for a little while. My sex drive is quite high these days, and I was very shy when I...|||If x, then y is not an unhealthy ultimatum. It's me telling you that if you proceed along a certain path of action that makes me uncomfortable and a little grossed out, then I won't be comfortable...|||All good deeds have some degree of selfishness as they're about one's own desires for the world and the people in it. That doesn't make them the same thing as, say, a favor done in order to...|||I'm amazed that your level of communication is so poor that we wound up watching different episodes of the same show this weekend, simply because you couldn't tell me if a name was in the title or...|||I did retail and entry-level IT. Both were godawful. Now I cook and volunteer at city gardens wanting to get into horticulture - I like being around people and having a positive relationship with...|||You can say I'm beautiful, you love me, etc, when we're together but your actions paint a very different picture.  It's 9 PM and I've had no idea where you are all evening - you don't even respond...|||I'm not weirded out by hot dogs at all. I think it's weirder that people are weirded our by them if it's safe and presentable meat.   Like oh here, go kill another 2-3 animals and use their top...|||Fuck you.  Know why we're not spending time together tonight?  Because you're like a feral cat. I never know where you are, when you'll be home, when you have plans, nothing. Tonight I made plans...|||Not a fan of gore, but I love the horror genre. It's not about the killing or the blood, it's about the mystery and suspense of the unknown - like more intense campfire stories. Deep ones are fun,...|||I think this sums up my thoughts. Everyone falls down in life and then your thoughts aren't always pleasant and self-affirming.  But, I've been through a long life and so have many in my family....|||Not today, but yesterday - store employee ran after me when I left my ramen at the checkout.|||Even playing games with you is starting to suck. I was so excited to get back into Terraria with everyone, but after multiple binge nights you still don't want a break.  Is this what a relationship...|||I care about you but you talk so much. I can tell you I'm working on something and two minutes later you're trying to get me to look at random memes and rattling off what someone is saying to you.  ...|||I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in this relationship. I'm not asking for miracles. I'm not asking for great feats, expensive purchases, or constant reassurance.  What am I supposed to feel...|||I spent most of my time reading, everything from classics on my mom's shelf, to encyclopedias (I liked looking at plants, animals, history), to children's fiction. Not really shy, just not that...|||Depends on the specifics, really. Most people don't understand what's outside of their own realm of thinking, they just accept it.  My father (programmer) brings up the possibility of me working in...|||Finally.  Got.  My fucking.  Seedlings.   First store fully out of stock. Second store had trouble ringing them up. And now I can grow tons of little cuties.|||Does your campus have a cafe? Mine had a nice little coffee shop I could always retreat to for a pick-me-up and a bit of reading. I had some great conversations there, as well.   Otherwise, start...|||Listen to me without judgment.  Make time for me if our schedules are tight.  Keep your word if you give it.  Stand with me when things are hard, don't back down or run.  Just let me cry...|||Protein! :kitteh:|||I'm lonely in this relationship.|||Your intentions aren't worth a fart if your actions don't change with them. If you break your word to me often enough, I'm just going to lose faith in you entirely.|||I trust my gut, but I also know that there are certain people (*cough*INTJs*cough) who, even if we have that connection, tend to be on their way out in short order.|||I have a couple: The cashier up front who checked out me and my two items, talking to an old friend again after a pretty bad misunderstanding, and the availability of seed starter kits so I can start...|||I enjoy idle small talk with people I already know to pass the time together. If I'm just getting to know someone, I want to be able to gauge their opinions more and find more to potentially connect...|||Mystery Science Theater 3000, original or remake. Both are quite good.|||Sometimes, but it's hard to say quite what it is. I know who I'm drawn to, but I can never tell what our relationship will be when we first meet. Which ones are going to change my life on a deep,...|||Because I can't bitch about this to anyone I know any more than I already have:  A friend of mine in an MMO met with another woman who shares her mental illness in our guild. This woman is a drama...|||Sometimes, but this is an upbringing thing for me. My mother loves chocolate when she's stressed (like I do), and I grew up with high school friends who liked to dote on me with cookies, tea, etc. ...|||I guess I don't know why I'd care about the sexual fantasies of strangers on the Internet, or why they'd care about mine. I don't tend to seek it out or offer it.  Multiple people online who hear a...|||INFP. Chess was one of my favorite games growing up. My father, uncle, and brother all played, as did many of my teachers. I don't find it interesting enough anymore to invest in or have anyone to...|||Cheers. I got a ukulele a couple months ago, just a small one priced at around 30 bucks to have something to tinker with musically again. I've been absent-mindedly working on my chords, but I wanted...|||At my core, yes. I'm not comfortable turning a blind eye to things that seem morally wrong or unfair, even if it's coming from my family, my friends, my social group. Whether this is being a good...|||Interests do change over time, which is fine. What was valuable or relevant once won't always be valuable or relevant. Don't waste time on things that don't matter.  It's also fine to search for a...|||What's wrong with someone who has miserable romantic relationships, but happy FwB relationships with good communication, personal development, and fun?|||Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, with my dad and brother. I'm pleasantly surprised that at least this recent piece of the Potter universe is actually very fun.  My dad didn't like Newt...|||If you're self-absorbed it doesn't mean you're a bad person. It just means you need to focus on trying to get out of your own head more than others. Focus on finding what works with people and...|||Getting ready to stream Life is Strange for a friend. My payment for getting to watch Firewatch.|||Giant fuckin' Chipotle burrito. Chorizo chicken is a thing here now.|||I think it's more about whether or not people are intruding on my personal space. I don't think anything of tolerating a different religion, mental health issues, dietary choices, etc. People who are...|||Firewatch made me angry yesterday and I demanded that my friend replay it to get the correct ending.  The ending is always the same, honey.  NO.'
