Foam-Dome Because you make it abundantly clear that you don't want us to help. If we try to be honest, you tell us that you don't want to hear it. If we try to offer advice, you give a reason why you can't follow it. Therefore, we conclude that you don't want our input.
Hey, don't shut her out like that. She's asking for support =/

@ Kestin: I know that I, personally, usually only respond to secrets if I can somehow connect to them, using my prior experiences to give people advice. And that really doesn't happen all that often for me. Most of the time I don't know how to respond to someone and I assume they don't want to hear "I'm sorry, it will get better, etc..." over and over, because personally I would want people to give me advice on how to handle things. Sometimes when people don't respond it's not because they don't love you, its because they don't know what to say. But being silently there for someone is a lot easier in real life than over the internet. :/
Anywhoo.. on to my own secret/rant/pityfest/Ireallyjustwanttotrantrightnow
Do I tell her every time I think about them together I get angry?
And then depressed...
and then angry again...
And its a cycle of emotions running through my head and its so distracting I can't even concentrate on homework..
You want to know how I feel, but do you really just want me to tell you that I'm fine and everything is all right?
I'm not fine.
I've lost my best friend. And I'm going to lose you.
You say that I'll always come first in your mind but I know that will change. You two will have a special connection that I won't share. We can't all just be best friends anymore. I refuse to be an awkward third wheel fighting for attention.
My step-family says that you weren't being a good friend to me by dating him. I tried to defend you but a small part of me thinks they're right.
I don't care if he misses me. Its his own fault.
Is it yours too?

Well, she was really upset and wasn't sure how to respond to you XPMaybe I should've clarified, then. Those were just the experiences I had seen and witnessed. I wasn't trying to shut her out or anything - I was just stating my observation.

I just found out that another person from my county has joined an extremest Islamic group dedicated to doing harm to the U.S. and it's people.
Honestly, I can't even articulate how this really makes me feel.
The thought that somebody that grew up in similar conditions to me and is capable of doing something like this truly shakes me to the core.
Not just one, but at least three people have gone and done this, and have done things so bad that the news networks report it. If three people go and do this, then statistically speaking shouldn't there be many others who have just done this in silence, without being detected and are out there right now helping to try and attack me, my family, and all of our friends?
One of the people mentioned in the news, went to my school.
That means they lived within walking distance of my house.
I honestly just cannot fathom this.
I ave long been proud of my area.
We have the best schools in the entire country. The workforce is the most educated in the country. We live right next to D.C., we are exposed to all sorts of cultures from all around the world.
Then I hear that my area spits out comparatively high rates of people who wish to do harm to the very thing my family has spent literally generations serving and protecting, I just feel displaced, angry, confused, and depressed.

Kestin Sha Jikoniau As for the point about being liked vs. loved, I think a lot of the people in this guild probably like you. I at least find you to be a likable person. And I think loved is a really strong word, wether people love you or not can depend on what you define as love. Though I can understand wondering about it, I often wonder if anyone actually likes me or if I'm just annoying. (That applies both here and IRL)
Maybe the problem is that most people online care more about their offline relationships and don't consider online friends important or close enough to love. It would be understandable, in a world where most people have parents who want them, and are capable of maintaining offline friendships that don't flicker out or fall apart. In a world where online friends are just imaginary internet people...words in a big glowing box.
I think you might have misunderstood what I said, if I'd realized how strongly you thought about this I wouldn't have even attempted to answer with my half thought out beliefs.
Anyways, I'd say that with the many different forms of love that there are that there are people in this guild that love you I can't say who since I don't know. But one thing is that it takes being likable before you can be loved, you are likable. I don't often use the word love to describe how I feel about friends, I usually use like. So when I say I find you likable I don't just mean ""Kestin's fun to hang out with..." I do care about you, just like I care about all my online friends. I care what happens to anyone that I consider a friend, and even if I don't say something about it doesn't mean I don't worry or wonder. For example: I read most every post in this thread but I only ever reply to a post if I feel I have something to say, something to contribute. Apparently I'm not very good at expressing myself though... I hope you understand what I'm trying to say *hugs*

One of the few friends I'd kept since moving back home has committed suicide. I honestly thought he was getting better. I was doing the best I could to talk to him, to help him, and just be there for him. Then I don't hear from him for a week. This happens.
wtf man. gonk emo

I have spent the evening reading MLIN, stalking the AURA (that's the Aberdeen University Roleplaying Association) forums, and trying to get WoW to download so I can use the trial version. MLIN
