Oie, I guess it's obvious that this thread is dead and hardly noticeable, nonetheless, I don't intend to stop.
As everyone can tell, we have a very generous gaian in the guild. Quite the fans have rallied for next week's giveaway.
But why? Why is he so generous? Why is Gaiaonline or any forums much better than our real life?
The answer is simple and the reason why people come here and are so open and so free with their personality is evident:
The consequences are minimal. Negatively I speak of. If you ruin yourself with shame and deception, it's much either to restart another life. Almost no consquences and the question of reputation are almost of no use in here.
That's what life needs, a restart button (or create a new person). But like Gaia, the reset button would be abused and over-used for every simple and pathetic problem people don't want to confront.
So whatever grand action anyone does (Donating 1 million gold) is almost of no consequence to his personal life. To his real life, everything on here is imaginary.
That's why so many gaians say: "Calm down, it's just pixel." They are true, but the level of seriousness here are different depending on how much the person is dependant on the site. A refuge from their problems in real life? Very possible.
What really annoys me is people who complain about their tidious problems and act all "depressed". I may sound contredictive here but that really annoys me. Because it's obvious that complaining and being depressed on this site will only pick the curiousity of others. And that will only drag on pity and sympathy. And I hate it when people create a pity-party and disturb my enjoyement on this site. It's really pathetic and needy of a person in my books.
End Transmission...

This has been getting kind of wierd. sweatdrop My dad always told me that one day I'd be popular with girls, but I never really believed him. sweatdrop Over the last few weeks, girls have been flirting with me, asking me if I think their friends are pretty, getting close to me, etc. It's not that I don't enjoy all the attention, it's that it just feels wierd because I've always been an anti-social nerd in my school. gonk Today, my neighbor had friends over and they saw me walk home from the bus stop and they were saying, "Oh my god, who is that handsome teenager?"
Just to let everyone know, I didn't hear them say that. My neighbor told my mom about it. sweatdrop So there is a slight possibility that they didn't say that. sweatdrop

End Transmission... I agree entirely. People escape their life and enter this pixelated society, remaining behind a computer screen in a primarily safe zone with with unconsequential oppertunities to succeed. Personally, I notice that when I am happier and on better terms with friends or family, I'm on gaia less - because I don't need it.

I applaude the creator of this thread on
finally giving me a thread where I can just
pour my intellectual soul out and finally get
some feedback besides, 'LoL. or I know!'
The thing thats been on my mind for a while
[I shouldnt say on my mind as much as it is,
welding itself painfully into my mind and those
deep parts of my soul that I prefer to pretend
dont exsist] is love or should I say the absence
of it. I have never been in love before and as
much as I fantasize about having that one person
that I would be willing to give my mind, body and
soul to I find nothing but terror in the actual idea
of being nothing but a product of this persons
affections. When they are paying attention to me I
am happy - but when they are not I am to sink into
a pool of my own sorrows, able to tell no one of
my depressions for fear that they may hear of my
weakness and find me repulsive. That whole idea makes
me feel sick. And yet on the opposite side, the idea that
this fear is keeping me from opening up my heart and
finding true happiness terrifies me just as much. There
are many occasions when I am alone that I will think 'Whats
wrong with me? Why havent I been in love?' and the
more I think on it the more desperate I become and in my
desperation the more I allow the fear to penetrate me.
But Im only 16 years old, its fine that I havent known love
yet, right? Because, in my youth, how would I even be
able to identify the mature emotion for what it is? Yet this
idea, comforts me little when I see people my age locked
in year-long relationships where marriage has been disscussed. Marriage? I dont even want to think about that. I guess, this
little rant has been nothing but a half-hearted attempt to take
this burden off my back. Even though Ive managed to do
nothing but make it heavier...

So that's why a lot of relationships don't work out because it's just explorirng and getting a feel around and knowing how to adpat and alter your life for another clash of another's lifestyle. By the way, I'm glad you like my thread n_n; I know a few do :3 <3 I can understand your insecurity (Or even relate to it). Though, I think you are too much indulge in self-doubt when the attention of another isn't focused or zoomed on you. In other words, you need to find something to distract yourself for long periods of time so you don't keep degrading yourself. sweatdrop That's the only solution I could improvise on short notice and I don't think it'll work rolleyes I'm glad you can pinpoint your fears so accurately, it helps a lot because the solution cannot be far behind 3nodding

So wow. I took a month long hiatus for various reasons, but I'm back now. After checking up on my threads, I immediately thought that I should pop back in here. I looked through the guild just for this thread.
Sometimes things in life just kind of catch up to you. All your problems and so on. You might not notice it, but then you realize you're close to rock bottom. It's kind of irritating, and makes me wish I looked into the future more.
But at the same time, I tend to over analyze everything. Then, I get super paranoid about stupid things, and worry over idiotic matters. It stops me from living the moment to the fullest, but I can't seem to fix my problem even though I want to.
"Do I make you happy?"
I ask people that all the time. They just kind of look at me like I'm a complete idiot, and don't answer. Few people give me an answer, and still, I'm not satisfied with what I hear. Maybe I'm just picky over things like that, who knows.
Why do I ask such a question? Since sometimes I think I'm just here to make people miserable, and at the end of the day, I make no one happy at all. And that thought always makes me sad. Why continue the day if I can't even affect a single person?
My best friend told me that I make her happy all the time with what I do, and my boyfriend told me to shut up since I was being retarded and he was just happy talking to me over something like AIM. It made me laugh, but at the same time it's like "Well, of course I try to make you guys happy. You guys are people I care about. I'd shoot myself if I made you guys miserable."
At the same time, I can't help but hurt some people who are close to me. From probably my first rant about my friend Victoria, I've made her cry so many times it's insane, and I can't forget that.
"One cold prickly takes two warm fuzzies."
I love that quote so much, because it's true. Well, in my mind, one cold prickly could take a million warm fuzzies, but either way the concept is correct. Everytime I make someone sad or mad either on accident, I just can't make up for it easily. They might have forgiven me, but I can never forgive myself.
Where have all our morals gone? So many rumors go around, so many hurtful things are being spread on purpose. I look at it, and laugh it off. People can say whatever they want about me, but when things start to get targetted at my friends, I get upset.
I've slapped people before in school for being mean towards my friends. I don't hit people for their comments towards me, but people just got to learn to stop bothering my friends. Why do people even do things like that? Just to tease? Just to poke fun at? It's so mean.
My friend Brian was tormenting my friend Keefer one day. She's a vegetarian, and he was chewing turkey in her ear and waving meat in front of her face. She absolutely hates the smell of it and anything else to do with meat, so she flipped out.
They're friends and all, and I'm friends with both of them, but he would not stop even when I told him to, even when I told him how inappropriate it was. So I hit him. Probably a bad thing to do. Bad choice on my part. I just can't help it. Keefer was about to cry, and he wouldn't back off.
Am I a bad person for doing what I do? Then there were my other friends who were there, watching this all take place. They just took out their iPod and slipped it into their ear, blocking out our arguing. They're always the one who tell me standing up for people is great, and how they wouldn't let their friends get pushed around.
Where did their morals go? Gone, and replaced with technology. I've been reading Fahrenheit 451 for English class, so maybe that's why I'm noticing small stupid things like that.
I don't even know where I'm going with this. What's my rant even about this time? I have no idea. I'm ending my rant now, seeing how it's completely pointless.
I did miss this thread a lot though.

<3 Leiko.
Crap, I have this mentally handicapped kid folowing me. He's even reading what I'm writing gonk What a burden, I should've never defended him sweatdrop
Of course, I don't mean what I wrote.
Leiko: Charlie Brown once said: "We're here on Earth to make others happy." Lucy replied with a contrediction: "Someone's not doing their job."
You can't make people happy. A motivator once said: "If you want to change people, you have to change yourself" And that's true. That's why when you ask true friends, most of them will answer "I'm happy if you are happy" Because no one likes or is happy around someone who is constantly bringing them down.
<3 Charlie Brown :3 God, he's so smart.
On another note, Mentally retarded people can sometimes be geniuses. The parts of the mind that keep them from being capable of speech and relative actions is simply premature and not inexistant (Double negative, syntaxical error). Keep that in mind n_n;.

Actually I lost a friend defending a mentally challenged kid. He was following us around in the mall taking pictures of us and one of my friends began laughing at him and doing hand gestures at him.
My mom was a teacher of the mentally challenged so I stand up for them. I find it so mean when people make fun of them. I absolutely loathe those people.
I told my friend to stop but she refused. She continued and he began crying so I simply told her I didn't want to be seen with such a hertless person so I left.

Charlie Brown is indeed very smart. Much love to him.
And it's sad how people make fun of others who are mentally challenged. It makes me sad. I always defend people, and if my friends have an issue with that, I would leave them too. *Huggles Paper* ;3
I dunno, people just make stupid comments like "Oh my god did you see that person's shoes? They're hideous!" and stuff, which always irks me. It's like "Just shut the hell up before I slap you, since that's not very nice or polite..."
Last year I was in the lunch line, and I was listening to these girls in front of me talking about how they hated their friend's outfit. One of them said something like "What she was wearing was so ugly. I mean, I just had to save her from the embarrassment and drag her away to tell her to get out of those clothing. I can't be seen with someone wearing that!" and all her friends agreed.
I hate materialistic and shallow people like that. All about their clothing, cars, housing, electronic devices, and brand name items. Bleck. I hate listening to comments like those, but I know it's not my place to completely step in on a conversation like that.
There's this girl in my school who's father died in the war. The school announced it and wanted a moment of silence. I was at my locker and stopped what I was doing to wish her family well, and these two people in my grade were across the hall talking and laughing.
They listened to the announcement, and said word for word "Oh, I thought someone in our school had died. I guess not, so it's not that important."
I think I gave them the dirtiest look ever, since that comment was so incredibly stupid. I mean, take some time to be nice. Everyone thinks "This stuff will happen to someone else, like the person next to me. But never me." and then once it does, it's like "Whoa, what?"
*Sigh* Yeah, that's my rant for the day.
<3 Xero. Missed this thread like whoa ;D
