Favorite musical? 

For one minute and 13 seconds. 

How do you contain your own excitement? 

Hello there, I am interested in making yet another commission from you Could I send you a PM about the details? 

Hey man, are you still commissioning?~

I really don’t know what to feel right now is it loneliness? Perhaps but I’ve been pondering a lot tonight I can’t help it my anxious mind tends to wander... thinking to myself am I too nice I know that I try to please people and looking at my past... it’s something about myself that bothers me at times. Or even wondering if you are good enough for someone. I know we all have something about ourselves that we don’t like and want to improve but I can’t help but feel like I’m repeating the same mistakes over and over again. One may ask why are you so anxious about that? Just go with the flow and be yourself don’t worry! 

But it is always so easy just to say that isn’t it? Fake it till you make it or eventually break... 

I’m not feeling so well very lonely and anxious to tell you the truth 

I feel something similar from time to time. 

Maybe we are too nice to people. Maybe we are too agreeable. Maybe our niceties are a turn off for some. 

Whether we are not good enough for some people, that is our own doubt that can sometimes come about into our minds, whether it be due to depression, objective fallacies we have managed to observe from our behavior or actions or be it due to patterns we see repeating in our lives. But the thing is, it does not do us any good when we start thinking on the terms of whether we are good enough for someone. Those are terms that we do not set for them. Those are terms they themselves set and act upon. We don't decide what others are to think about us but we can certainly influence it. So continue being the best you possibly can be for people, but just be aware enough that you are also thinking and taking care of yourself.

I would not advice "faking it till you make it", because faking ourselves is a sure way to get discovered and cause a rift. Be honest about yourself and to others. Sure, that could be a turnoff as well, but just be sure that you have at least someone you can talk to in the times you are feeling so down, anxious or doubtful of yourself. 

That is my advice at least. 

I'm going to have to say I mostly identify myself with Yukimura Sanada (not the real historical one, but his computer game version from the Samurai Warriors games). His ideals and morals regarding honor and righteousness rung a lot with me. 

Snow is my favorite part of living in Iceland~

@Midnight Solace

My only intention is to hopefully set you in a direction of where you won't be troubled by other peoples opinions. I suggest you try out the Life Advice section, creating your own thread and try to seek advice or any kind of help if you should need it. 

I hope you find your way on this website, I truly hope you do~

I am bowing out, it is 6 AM, I have already broken a promise I made on working on fixing my sleeping schedule.

I did expect some answers to be against what I say. Nopony is perfect. I just didn't expect them to start calling me a waste of time, dumb, and that I "don't understand." And when I try to explain, they say I am making mountains out of molehills.

Discussions can get heated and even combative and strong opinions will fly about. People can behave like besserwissers, but we also have to realize we ourselves can easily become that. Our own stubbornness might make them feel something similar as if their own opinions or concerns are not being taken seriously. 

And I say "at least you made your explanation or at least attempted to explain". Nothing ever goes 100% swell. What your concerns are may not be other peoples concerns. 

That thread is now over and I suggest moving on from it. It won't do us any good to chain ourselves to the past. You can very well engage with these very same people in different topics on far more friendlier terms and possibly get into very interesting discussions. Don't burn yourself out due to one thread that may not have impacted you positively. Keep going.

Tell that to the Kirin lovers. They know nothing about me and yet, judge me.

Again, I think it would do you wonders not to pass too much judgment on the reaction system here on this forums. People have different kinds of views and sometimes we do not get what we want or ask for. It does not mean that our thoughts or wishes are not ever taken into consideration though (I am assuming that most of this stem from the thread you made about kirin reaction in Feedback). 

People will also constantly judge us. We are judgmental creatures. Does not mean that we can't meet people who will get to know us and who can learn not to pass any kind of harsh judgments upon us.

You know what? You guys don't understand me. You don't care about me. I'm just another pony posting my complaints, and what you guys do is just give me the goddamn Kirin reactions. All my life I've been judged, bullied and rejected. What more do you want?

I think you might be passing a rather broad judgment upon the entire forums. I would suggest that you keep on trying engaging on the forums. Sometimes it takes time to click with someone. Participate in status updates, in discussions, in blog posts. And pay no heed at all to the reaction system, at all. It is really the discussion itself you should put value into~

I feel like.... bursting out laughing 

I've met @Fluttershyfan94 in person. A couple of times actually. 

Will be meeting @Kamii in about a month. 

Hey Berry, I was wondering if I could commission you again?

I feel completely renewed

Hello there, I am interested in ordering a commission from here. 
Do you have any more human examples you have drawn that I can take a look at?

Really lonely and sad  I wish I had more people to play games with, or I wish the people I do have would play with me more. I get really jealous when I see certain people playing with their friends every single day.

Then ask people to play with you. If they can't play, ask others. This is genuine advice I am giving you here Swirly. 

As for how I am doing. Tired. Been working for more than 10 days straight, with minimum rest. 8-9 hours per day, excluding the special occasions of working 12-13 hours per day. My sister is visiting though, plan to grab a drink with her on Thursday. 

If you are talking about a 1v1 fight here, I think the Viking would win. More mobility, better steel, and good single-combat ability as well as possible Valhalla zealotry.  

If you are talking about a Viking army vs a Roman Legion, the Romans would win by a long shot. Better discipline and tactics, soldiers trained for such warfare and for fighting side by side with other friendlies who can assist, not mentioning the siege weapons such as the Ballista. 

Vikings were not bad when it came to warfare, heck they even used tactics that the Romans used such as a Shieldwall. Small raiding parties may not have been organized, but Viking invasions actually were. That is why they were able to establish the Danelaw for example. But I don't think it still matches the Roman military. 

I just see a clear difference between military warfare and single-combat. 

I play the piano and I used to play on a violin. 

I've also been considering getting into playing the accordion.

A friend of mind suffers from ideation and I've been wanting to find ways to help him. On a side note, Fr. Mike Schmitz is a complete badass and there need to be more priests like him.

 

This was actually a pretty great video. Mike truly is a great guy. 

I was watching a video about Tengriism since I have been hungry for information about that religion since I have been getting very interested in it. 

Not necessarily tired of the phrase, however, buzzwords are buzzwords whether they are accurately applied or not. The word has mostly fallen out of my vocabulary, but not out of my thought process. 

Reading through this discussion, originally I would say I would be more for the free use of it with little sympathy, but seeing some of the more "temperate" (quotation marks for my own sake since I myself would not strictly classify them as temperate, but to the general eye, they probably would be) replies, I will say that using the term is not viable if you really do wish to engage in meaningful dialogue, especially with someone you might consider a Social Justice Warrior. 

I won't lose any sleep over anyone getting angry or annoyed over said terms though, people are bound to get pissed over anything else someone says or does.

Is the term overused? Yes. But who cares? Is the term always deserved for the target of criticism? No. But who cares? This is a perfect example of a non-issue, let the cesspool of the internet wear out whatever buzzwords they want. If you care that much, vote by not using those words anymore. Otherwise, find actual problems to worry about

Otherwise, I will say that this quote here pretty much sums up my thoughts for this entire thread. The amount of caring I am able to do is very minimal. 

I just merely added my own opinion on the matter for the sake of it. 

I'm going with @Twiggy

Guy posts funny status updates, gets me to chuckle every time. 

I have an older sister who now lives in Denmark. She is a pretty great person, even though we have our many disagreements. 

I respect and am a follower of the old ways, of Norse Paganism and I see value in other older mythologies and spiritualism, such as Romuva, Finnish Paganism, and Druidism. 

I'm feeling dizzy. A bit of a headache. Guess that follows when one has been rather tipsy. Can't imagine what it is like after you have been fully drunk.

I guess that's just the way it is. I traded time and effort for some green paper. I am not happy right now. 

Sometimes that is the case. You trade one thing for another. But you can try and spend your earnings wisely or save up for the future. Saving up for the future can give you a more stable ground and can be used for more free time stuff down the line as time passes. 

Take this from a complete workaholic who works every day every week for sometimes more than 14 hours per day. I have had a lot less free time, but I have kinda learned how to deal with it and how to better use whatever free time I do have left. Of course, I still can not do everything I want, but at least I am shoring up my future.
