For some reason, listening to Russian music when I have to read/write/concentrate on something really helps me focus. I have no idea why. I'm not even part Russian.
For some reason I've felt extremely nostalgic today for the way this community used to be few to handful of years ago. Well I don't know if this place has changed. I think that it has more to do with my own mental deterioration than any change of dynamic in this community. I guess that I have simply just become too cynical, jaded and even borderline passive-nihilistic about discussing about anything even though there have been numerous quality topics with potential in recent memory here.

Oh no, I often feel like this about the community sometimes too. I don't know what you miss in particular, but I know I miss the general threads where we'd share funny Spyro spoofs and cool YouTube AMVs to the song "Every Time We Touch" and "Hot and Cold". Also all the threads where we'd come up with a new element for Spyro to wield, or a new enemy for him to fight ... or even making up stories for a new game. I feel like we were much more involved with the fandom aspect of the site, but now no one seems to care about fan creations here anymore. What happened to all the fan fiction and fan art? I think getting involved with the fandom aspect of the site was a way of bringing the community together and creating closer bonds with one another. Now we all just ****post in the S&N board and complain about each other.

Well I’ve never been that much into fan fiction side of this community but in overall sense your post wanted to tell to me and to the world of dS I agree.
I think that I miss that community feel of this place. It felt like users had collective idea about what kind of person certain users were. But nowadays luckily it seems that there are users who are, most fortunately, connecting with each other around here, but there seems to be a culture of disposable topics, posts and posters which means that even certain levels of brilliance and interest are getting lost into the sea of data to make a new room for never-ending trends and “meme” topics. It seems to me that there is lots of activity but not common interest in creating content.
Now I have to say to the end of this post that this is only a representation of my own cynicism-ridden world. So anything I’ve stated cannot be interpreted as an objective and interesting facts to create one’s own judgements. But it is an subjective take on things that can be used as a point for discussion.
Or maybe I'm just getting old, grumpy and not made for this world.

I lost a friend of mine because of what they said to me while they were drinking. What was said hurt because a drunk can say words they wouldn't dare say when they were sober. It's sad in a way cause my friend was someone I trusted and someone that I truly liked talking to.
My confession is: I honestly don't care if people drink beer or alcohol, sometimes a person drinking too much should maybe go to bed and not say something they'll regret the next morning.

Well that is the price one has to pay if one cannot handle their drink the way it has originally intended to be handled, and therefore starts to run their respective mouths in a way that is not beneficial to anybody. And of course it is most unfortunate to you that you've lost friends because of that.
I almost had a falling out with my best friend because of poor handling of one's own liquor last year. Both parties said and opened up things that were not even there in real world. But luckily we were able to talk things through and remain as close as we have always been. And in this case I was the one who wasn't the annoying drunk (I know that is hard to believe).
But now I have been put into a position to make a PSA. Alright, people, here it goes. Do not develop taste for being drunk. Especially if you have responsabilities to other people who are dependent on your financial and intellectual support.

I never quite understood Lindsey, honestly. Not saying that I dislike her or anything, maybe it's because I've been very inactive, but her positive attitude always felt a little weird to me, as in, it didn't felt genuine. I'm just being a dick, but I do hope she comes back, I want to better understand her and see what made so much people like her.

You've probably never had a private conversation with her. There's definitely more to her than meets the eye (and the forum).
That being said, I really don't like the way you phrased that last part. She's a human being, not some kind of trend or puzzle for you to "understand."

..... I think I'm romantically attracted to women older than me.
But I don't even know if it's a "romantic attraction". I know is definitely something different than just wanting to be friends and that I don't feel this way towards normal people ... but it's also not a conventional romantic feeling. Like, I don't want to date them or kiss them or whatever. I still get butterflies whenever I see her, and I get tongue tied whenever I speak to her.
Maybe I'm just looking for another mother figure in my life, someone to depend on and to offer me emotional support and a sense of stability? WHO KNOWS.
...
What the hell is wrong with my emotions. (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)

Jesus dude, I think you're being slightly overprotective of Lindsey in her absence. You know just as well as I that she would never take offense from something like that.

Yeah, that's what I said. What I meant is that I wanna know her better, to see how she behaves on a more private conversation. Didn't meant to offend her or anything. If everyone likes her, I wanna know what does, it's kinda of a wish to get to know the person, you know?
But that's a general thing I feel with people who look too happy and enthusiastic, it doesn't settle right with me for some weird reason, and it's not the other person's fault. It's not even just her, I can think of a lot of real life or internet people who I feel the same way.
Again, don't want to offend her, those are just thoughts from my mind. I wouldn't even post it if I knew you would be so defensive. I actually wanna tell her those things so I could get in better terms with those concerns. Just have to wait I guess.

It's easy for me to talk to someone over text but I love voice chatting with people way more. The problem is my brain turns off as soon as the call begins and I either talk too much, not enough, or I start saying really stupid stuff that usually doesn't have anything to do with the topic ._.
I never know if I’m being intrusive in wanting to talk often. I feel bad when I message someone if I’ve talk to them often. I probably shouldn’t worry, but I’ve gone overboard before and I always fear going overboard again

What's worse: regretting that you reached out, or regretting that you didn't?
Obviously there are exceptions, but this is what I ask myself when I'm hesitant to talk to someone.

I’m much too fixated on the past. Like, events from almost 3 (or more) years ago still bother me. It’s hard to enjoy the good things in my life too, because I think too much about what I’ve screwed up or what I wish I could fix despite knowing those things are impossible to repair.
I’m just sick of loss, of change, of the same cycle things always go through.
And when I act like all’s good and I’m just joking around with people everywhere else it feels so ingenuine.
And I feel immature and petty just admitting that.
Even if it isn’t out of the ordinary to miss your ex or your old friends or loved ones who’ve passed.
Idk why I feel so much shame in experiencing these emotions.

But every story I have told is part of me.”
I confess, I feel like I should or want to leave sometime soon.
I haven't been around as much and for some reason my presence feels shallow whenever I am around. Like I shouldn't be around because there isn't much meaning to it. I hardly talk to anyone here and mostly am around to see how the reignited trilogy does.
I don't know why I'm confessing this though, because whenever I do leave, I leave without announcing it because I don't want the attention, and it's easier to fade into the crowd when not making a sound... But I'm wondering this time, if instead of it being temporary hiatus that it should be a permanent leave.
--- Like fallen snow, I lay on the ground and wait for my turn to fade away, no matter how unique I seem. It's my gift to you... A true sacrifice...

I don't know if this even belongs in here ... but I really want to let this person know about my feelings (which aren't even inherently romantic), but I feel like I'm going to be incredibly disappointed by her reaction. She's probably completely straight, but I'm awful at picking up social queues and body language so I'll never be able to tell. And she's a fair amount older than me too, which probably doesn't help in the slightest. If I say something I fear that I'll completely ruin the relationship we have between us ... but if I don't say anything I'll probably forever regret it because I never confessed.
There's only two weeks of this class left, unless she decides to come in on the non-teaching weeks, but we only do one day a week of this subject ... so at worst I'll only be seeing her another two more times, and that's it. Next term our subjects and classes will completely change, so I might never get the chance to see her again.
And it's not that I want a romantic relationship ... it's really just that I would like to see her outside of the school setting and spend more time with her ... but at the same time still be more than friends? I don't know if that even makes sense ...
I don't know what to do. And I think this may be a big reason as to why I've been losing a lot of sleep lately. I just ... I can't get this off my mind.
I don't know if anyone can offer any advice, which is completely okay. I don't think I even expect anyone to be able to help. It might just be good to have this off my chest now, but I still have no idea what to do about this.
Hey, Bolt, I’m not the master of friendship and social cues by any means, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with asking to keep in touch, at the very least! That sounds like a difficult situation, but I do completely understand wanting to be in a place between friendship and relationship.

Ah, thank you so much ... I think that's what I'll try and do, just ask to keep in touch for the moment. It's still going to be very nerve racking to ask! But again, thank you, I really appreciate it!
And I'm glad that I think you can understand where I'm coming from as well ... cx
