Threads like this are fine since they've been done before. It's the Ask Me Questions where it's dedicated to one member that it's meant for the Member Encyclopedia.
I never said it wasn't allowed, although, I suppose it was seemingly insinuated. Sorry for the confusion.
1. I have really awful, awful depression. I've been managing it for about 10-11 years now, but I've been failing quite a bit as of recently due to absolutely no support from either from family or anyone else. Granted, I don't tell anyone about this because no one would really believe me, anyway. My mother is the type of person that believes every illness can go away like magic and there's no such thing as a mental illness.
I thought you were an adult. Can't you like, get help from a doctor without the support of your parents or friends?
2. I've been made fun of a lot during the course of my life. I've had friends backstab me, I've had friends leave me, the whole nine yards. At the end of the day, while I'm still saddened by their actions, I've made new friends that have stayed by my side and I know I can count on them when I'm at my worst.
Well, good for you. I know this fellow who was discouraged about making new friends after his old ones forsook him. It must be a good feeling to know that you can accept replacements.
3. I really, really love the cold, despite living in Florida. And, despite living in Florida, I really dislike the heat. It is uncomfortable and humidity is an absolute *****. At least in the cold, you can make yourself a good glass of hot chocolate or something and wrap yourself up in a blanket and it feels
awesome. Can't say the same for the warmer times of the year. >.>;;
I'm fine with any weather, as long as the thermostat works.
4. I'm actually very introverted and most of the time I feel like I have to force myself to be an extrovert. If you asked any one of my co-workers currently, they would say that I'm pretty much as sunny as can possibly be; but it's exhausting to constantly put on that facade. Truth be told, I feel like I'd be one of those people in 10 years that would just be satisfied programming for a living and living alone in a big house in a quiet neighborhood or something. I can live with that, really.
I'm pretty introverted myself, and that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. Most of the people I know just aren't worth being around, regardless of my mood.
5. Physical contact scares me. In particular, I'm not a huge fan of hugging people for some reason, but if people come up to me wanting a hug, then I won't reject them (cause I'm not a *****). However, it's just a thing that I feel really off hugging people for some reason. Really, physical contact in general is something I need to come to terms with because it's such a shame that I rarely get to hug people nowadays.
It's not a big deal to reject a hug if you ask me. We've all got our preferences, and I respect that.
I realize how often we seem to differ in views. How coincidental... (actually, I'm like this with almost everyone I know tbh. It can feel odd at times, but I'm just being true to myself for what it's worth.)
