The 'crippling loneliness' thing isn't that far off. Yes, I'm still a teen, but in all my years of life I've been lonely. I've never had that many friends (I'm lucky to have the small group that I do now, and doubly lucky that they like D&D as much as I do), and I still haven't gained any traction in the friendship department.

My constant battle against my anger and depression also makes me too scared to talk to anyone else, and I can't even begin to fathom my own sexuality for God's sake! And another thing, my school isn't exactly an environment conducive to the quote-and-quote 'weirdo' like me finding someone I could even consider approaching. Most the girls there either hate me with a burning passion or just pretend to not know I exist, and I can tell you for a fact I don't like men. But if I did, half the guys there are just dumb jocks, and that ain't for me.

That's what hobbies are for. Try new things and meet new people. Get out of your comfort zone. I've struggled with social anxiety in the past as well, but who hasn't? Hobbies don't just build confidence, they foster connections that can remain long after middle/high school.

Try sports. Try band, orchestra, or choir. Try clubs and other extracurriculars. Learn a language. That won't help much in relationships, but knowing multiple languages is still cool and practicing the words can give you a healthy distraction in awkward situations.

Build confidence in other ways, then you can progress to more complex interpersonal relationships like romantic ones.

 I'm already doin' half that crap lol. I'm a percussionist in band, I'm a nationally ranked archer, I know a little bit of Choctaw and I'm learnin' more, but NONE of those has helped me build social confidence even a little.

have you tried alcohol? (thisisajokethisisajokethisisajoke)

I dunno, man. Just keep trying new things, creeping out of your comfort zone little by little. You'll find your "people" eventually, and likely sooner rather than later. There are also a lot of good therapists out there who can help you learn coping mechanisms for anxiety. Things will get better, I promise.

 It's alright. I'm so far down the rabbit hole of crippling depression and low self-esteem that I actually don't anyone CAN help me.

But don't you think for a minute that I'll ever NOT do something to help y'all feel better.

 Lol.

And yeah, it's not like I just WON'T try. I'm just... not sure if I ever will be able to.

(This is coming from a person with crippling depression and extremely low self-esteem, so I think you might be able to understand.)

Quick question: does anyone happen to know what happened to SmoothCriminal100? They suddenly stopped posting like... about a month or two ago.

Quote from NoiSilverheart >>

Flashback to when I was like 10 and some Christian girl at like 8 went “how do think the earth was made?” And I casually went “collision of debris and stuff after the Big Bang” and she was angry at that and started saying god made the earth, mind you I am an atheist, always have been, and always will be, and I said “dude chill :|” and she went “DoNt CaLl Me DuDe!” So I Said “dude. I call everyone dude” and then her mom rolled up and apologized to me and I just shrugged it off

 YET ANOTHER REASON WHY WE'RE THE SAME PERSON

I'm also atheist, and I call quite a few people 'dude'.

 I call everyone dude, its gender neutral in my mind but if people ask me not to use it thats okay with me.

When I was little I think i disagreeing with someone about how god made the earth not the big bang.. though it could've been a dream but still. Which is so weird because now I am almost anti christian

Quote from Nothic3SeeHere >>

I agree with Vitus. There are far too many labels out there for everything related to gender and sexuality. We're all just trying to live our lives in a meaningful and fulfilling way, and you don't need labels for either.

 I feel like the problem with the labels are that if no one knows what they mean they're not even gonna help really, your just gonna have to explain them every time, whereas if you say Gay everyone knows what that means.

Sure. Periykeu is a young world, blooming with both hope and strife. Its gods make war upon its surface, and its people stand against monsters, conquerors, blights, and storms. In the early days, the gods attempted to create peoples out of many substances: mist, earth, plants, wood, cloth, and finally their own flesh. This created its current species. But unrest among the gods led to them choosing to manifest on Periykeu to jealously protect their chosen peoples. Finally, the gods began to battle, and killed their overgod. Remnants of his power are everywhere, and by claiming them, one can become a small deity. There are very few powerful or large nations, and the world is wild. It's anyone's game out there.

 Ooh. I would love to play a campaign like that. I don’t feel like typing it all out so it’s the same premise as my new thread. I’m trying to work it out now
