Look on, ye mortals, and despair - it's another TET.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

N'yaaaaw. The feeling is mutual.

You indulge my silly side, but don't pry too much. This is good. It's an easy, comfortable friendship.

And on my end, I work hard to match your superior wit and good humor. It can be tough at times, but it is quite rewarding when successful. A very pleasant friendship, indeed.

I've learned that on NS, you can't make many friends. It's not a good idea. I've reduced my circle because of that.

Why do you say that?

Because it has been my experience. Because I've seen horrid sides of people I used to like here and I've decided they're not friendship material. And because I have an aversion towards people that has increased exponentially.

Interesting. *nods*

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Pretty much. People like Gidge, who has stayed in my house, for example, or Jim and Roan. Other than them, nope.

Des, Esty and Thernsey would be my closest. Trans the longest. Mostly from getting to knowing them outside of NS, though.

Oh, definitely. You gravitate towards certain people. If you get to know them well, of course you'll enjoy your friendship.

[Luziyca]

Hahaha. Friends.

Sob sob sob sob.

Hi DI.

[Stern des Meeres]

Y'know, now that I think about it, my two closest friends here aren't here anymore. That leaves me with 3 at most? And a few acquaintances.

Do you have contact with them out of NS?

[Luziyca]

Don't worry, I got your back.
Because I'm a back-catcher.

Ah, yes, I definitely understand that. And that aversion is a problem even here on the internet? Damn, that's rough.

I did at one point in time. But I'm horrible at keeping in touch, so that didn't last long.

Yup. You represent yourself with ideas more than actions or looks.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I've lost contact with a few friends through the years that way. It's sad but it happens.

Iirc, you have some social anxiety, right?

[Victoriala]

I was looking at /b/ for a while and it was boring enough. It's now just about politics and drugs and you Laugh You Lose threads.

Ugh. I was hoping something giving me hope it shall live again.

[Bralia]

Ah, yes, I definitely understand that. And that aversion is a problem even here on the internet? Damn, that's rough.

Yup. You represent yourself with ideas more than actions or looks.

Huh. Never thought about it that way. Is that just as hard as actions and looks?

Iirc, you have some social anxiety, right?

I do. I think that's part of my problem. I'm afraid of contacting people first, so if they don't reach out to me I just don't talk to them.

Silly bear, /b/ isn't for hope.

As do I... I may be a little more willing to do so, but not by much. I pretty much have it due to my stuttering issues. It doesn't stop me from singing or speaking as long as I've written it down at some point or have a script.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Yup. You represent yourself with ideas more than actions or looks.

Huh. Never thought about it that way. Is that just as hard as actions and looks?

To me, yes. And if your ideas are deplorable, I dislike you. Also, experience has taught me that some people do not show their true colors. When they do, which has happened to me, I end up disappointed.

If it wasn't for the "You Laugh You Lose" threads, I'd presume it was /pol/!

It is. And I understand where you're coming from.

Mhm, it's too easy to hide behind a persona online.

I find that the hardest part for me making connections here is the lack on normal social cues. There's no real obligation to be civil as long as you stay under the flaming or trolling threshold. I don't really react well to conflict (the major reason I rarely explore the majority of General), so I tend to just back away from anybody too acerbic.

Thank you. That's really good to hear. It's easy to forget I'm not the only one who worries about things like this.

I really need to go to sleep now, so good night to you and the rest!

Definitely understand that, too.

And when I did, it became a bit disturbing. However, I always can change my ways as long as I'm alive. I've warmed up to some of the premises of feminism for example. Still don't like those coffee cups of some of them drinking male tears though.

That too is why I mainly post in TET. Although I do venture into certain topics. People here can be antagonistic for the sake of antagonizing. If you don't react well to conflict, NSG can be stressing.
