Talking while you role play

Maybe.
It was just a total throw off that something like that should be what impedes me.
I mean, I was expecting rejection, as a pessimist and all.

If this was some kind of awesome movie, and my arms weren't sticks, and I was in your situation, that would be where punches would be thrown. But I'm not, so...

Seriously, there are kids in sixth grade that go out in my town, and it's not like the inner city or anything. Yeah, it only lasts for two weeks, but it's not like it ends horribly. It just doesn't last.

Though, you're not in sixth grade, so her parents might be thinking "OMG PREGNANCY". Which is silly, because you're probably smarter than that.

You could try warming up to her parents. Though, that could fail.

Excuse me if I ramble, my brain cells start evaporating as it gets later.

Now, if I showed you a picture of some old guy who looks oddly like Colonel Sanders on a minigun, would you cheer up a little?

Honestly, I'd agree with Puppet on this. Be persistent. I'm German, so being stubborn is in my blood. (As well as heavy drinking. Seriously, German and Irish here.) Just let fly. Don't take that lying down.

Woah, it's like I'm stoned or something, I'm rambling so much.

OMG I heard that if you say something bad is going to happen to you out loud
like I'm going to lose fifty dollars or I'm not going to be able to go out with dadadah then it might actually happen!
*got completly off topic*
that's creepy...

neeway
maybe that's your problem
not everything is going to be crash and burn
sometimes bad things happen to good people
but if you always expect them then when something good happens or somethig you werent expecting happens you end up even more hurt
than was necessary

@Waveord

1.) wow, I think all of those circumstances apply to me. (Not awesome movie, arms=sticks, in my situation)
2.) Yeah, I know, that irks me, too.
3.) That is a possibility(The her parents expecting that part, not me actually doing something like that)
4.)*Shrugs*
5.) es fine, same for me
6.) meh? o.0
7.) Mayhaps
8.) Meh.

@Puppet
Well, maybe pessimist was the wrong word entirely. You see, it's more of a self esteem problem, really.
I expect the worst possible outcome because I am too optimistic. I expect the best things andget crushed when it doesn't happen. And so i force myself to be pessimistic so that doesn't happen.

That.

It gets to me when some punk twelve year old starts bragging about how he's had three girlfriends, or something dumb like that. He neglects to mention that each lasted for a week, before they found themselves unable to put up with his terrible personality.

I would've said that to his face, but I'm the only real ally I've got on the bus when that happens.

Panda, that's actually kind of smart to do. If you don't get your hopes out of the dirt, then where can they fall to? I mean' unless someone mistakes them for a football and punts them off of a cliff...

People with higher hopes tend to roll with the punches when their hopes get let down, 'cause they can deal with it. Some people just can't, or they can't at the time.  

[CactiAndCanaries]

I dont see why your self esteem is so low
your a cool person on gaia
and honestly
I know that online there are people who would rather rp with you that me
I dont know about the real world but
you cant be that bad
and like I said things happen
so dont get so sad when they do  

[The Mage of Space]

Puppet, talking through the internet is different than actually talking to someone. It's like having armor. Same situation when I'm on the ice for hockey. My gear is my armor, my courage. They don't know who I am under the helmet, because they can't really see my face. On the internet, you can make another account and leave any embarrassing situations behind you. You can't do that in reality. If you mess up, it'll follow you.

Christ almighty, now I know why uber nerds spend all of their time shut in their rooms playing video games in distant worlds.  

[CactiAndCanaries]

not necessarily
in the real world I am quieter
And more closed off
But that isnt me
its just who I made for people to see
sometimes here you can be you  

[The Mage of Space]

Which brings up the question...

Which you is the real you? The you of the internet, not afraid to voice their opinions and be heard?

Or the you in the real world, never being assertive or taking charge, always hanging back behind a friend?

Thanks for the paradox, Puppet.  

[Durithill the Black Blade]

Or is the real you both?  

[The Mage of Space]

If the news tomorrow is about some kid whose head exploded from thinking too hard, I want you to know...

It would be Durithill's fault.

But that brings up an entirely new point. It could be like being bipolar, only not as bad.  

[CactiAndCanaries]

I am bipolar...
which is why I prefer not to voice my opinions
that only draws attention to you by the people who will watch the most
but here noone ever knows that unless I tell them
on the internet there isnt much that can hold you back
Here I am me
not what I need to be  

[Durithill the Black Blade]

Oh, I do enjoy doing that to people, lol.  

[CactiAndCanaries]

XD nice

*Yawns*
I really should be in bed.
People use the internet for different things.
Whether to avoid being judged or to create a new them.
I personally use the internet for fun and to have people to talk to that can't impact my real life with their knowledge of it.
It also helps to not be talking to someone in person.
There is no 'real you' as you can create any image for yourself.
If you chose to act one way, that is you, no matter the circumstances.
YOu can change you to fit anything you want, and whether you do or not is also a part of you.
