The user above me does not look SFW. I need an adult!

You know, I actually saw a 1-panel comic related to this, once. Basically it was about fangirls who go crazy over their yaoi shippings. I think the comic depicted some girl browsing the internet, and she was saying "Hetero? That's unnatural!" Of course, this comic was probably just for the lulz. Ah, yes, I remember this video. Someone on Tumblr shared it. It shows how wrong it is to discriminate or bully someone based on their sexuality. It's actually more about supporting the LBGT and their life styles than anything, and does so by making heterosexuality the minority rather than the norm. The video at the start of this topic? I guess it also does the same thing, they even use the derogatory word "Breeders", but this one definitely brings the message home. I don't think it's about Heterophobia. I doubt Heterophobia will ever be the norm across the majority of society, not after modern societies have fought so long and hard to dispel Heterophobia and other kinds of discrimination and hate mongering. I almost cannot take it seriously. However, I do know that times are changing, and it is getting harder to maintain lasting relationships. I remember seeing a video about how some desperate people would rather have virtual boyfriend and girlfriends instead of trying to get a real one. I know the drama of relationships can be too much at times, but that is just sad and pathetic...

Oh boy... Let's just say, becoming a man has been difficult over the years. Mostly because, growing up, I didn't have a father to show me the way. To answer the question, yes, I do cry. But only when I feel like the situation calls for it. I try not to wear my emotions on my sleeve these days... When I was a little boy in elementary school, I remember a time when I was crying. Something unfair had set me off. But everyone was walking away and ignoring me completely, including teachers. In that moment, I forced myself to stop crying. I told myself "Men don't cry. It's time to grow up and stop being a baby." I was probably in the 1st or 2nd grade at the time. When you're a kid and a boy, crying doesn't earn you sympathizers or friends. At most, other kids will just laugh at you and make fun of you for being a crybaby. And for many years in my life, I didn't cry at all, even when I felt terrible inside. I bottled up most of my emotions, and it turned me into a complete wreck. But as I became an adult, and with the help of girlfriends and other adults older and wiser than me, I learned a few things. I learned... Throw away your foolish pride. Pride is okay to have, but not when it is foolish. Not when it keeps you from making an emotional connection to those closest to you and those who want to be close to you. Not when it keeps you from being a better person. Having emotions doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. Despite what others may say, we all do. Just telling someone to "toughen up" or "stop crying" is an emotional response as well. None of us are unfeeling robots. It's okay to cry. Sh*t happens in life. People you love die, people make mistakes, nothing lasts forever, and our lives can fall apart around us. If we can't grieve, we can never move on. There's no shame in crying when we need to. Eventually, I learned to let go and let it out, to feel like a normal human being, and yes I even re-taught myself how to cry. And you know what? I'm better for it. But I've had so much drama in my life, I've decided it's no use just being a bundle of nerves and emotion. If you want to see my emotions, you have to earn it. You have to get to know me better, someone has to pass on, you have to share in the things I like and don't like. Outside of that, I'd rather not get emotional if I don't have to. Maybe, if I can be stronger then that, I might be able to the pillar of strength that people can rely on.

The user above me appears to be some kind of ultimate cosmic knowledge, but how do I APPLY that knowledge?

Yum, sometimes. Lychee?

Maybe because I don't WANT to answer it seriously, Dad! Can someone please define or provide examples of normal without using a dictionary?

12 days of yes!

Umm... *waves hand* This is not the bedroom you're looking for. Move along.

*Gasp* A puppy!!! YES!!! My dream come true!!! *hugs and pets it endlessly*

No. Kind of feels like anyone who does probably forgot what LOL stands for or why it was invented in the first place. I've heard of hipsters saying it ironically when something is not funny, but that just reinforces what I just said in the previous sentence, and makes me want to go "You're doing it wrong!"

Pack rat.

7! Don't slow down now.

The user above me has doubled my interests.

Hmm... Out of context? 8/10. But at as a pony name? 10/10

Yu Yu Hakusho? "BETRAYAL! Betrayal! Betrayed me!"

I'm sooooooooooo tired of captioning the same person over and over again.

Go back.

One day, I shall win games like this... But not today!

5 and counting.
