Well…I did meet ONE person from the MLP forums IRL…and he bullied me

You are right. It was definitely only person not pony! It is a great difference!

Unfortunately I haven't more ideas how to find good true friend IR and how help you with this problem.

I dunno about you, but I see the MLP forums as like a second home I see all of you guys as family and I really care about you. You guys ALWAYS cheer me up and to be perfectly honest, I haven’t felt this happy / good about myself since I was in primary school.

I know something about that!

That’s why I’m SO open about myself and why I put SO effort in my status updates / responses  cuz you guys make me feel so welcome here and you have NO idea how much that means to me 

I noticed that. You are integral member my friendly pony herd. Take care of yourself!

@Valencia "If you've seen my updates ducky you know I see this place in a very similar way - I love this community and the little neighborhood of friends I've made around me, you included  

...and I don't think we're the only ones the share this sentiment- I'm sure many of us feel like this is the only place where we get to be ourselves and feel open, and being able to enjoy that with you and everyone else I've made bonds here with, it truly makes a difference in my life, as it does yours "

Ohh yeah, it's makes a BIG difference  Normally, I cant express my love for ponies out in the public  ...except for that one time where I had a photo with Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash, but that's besides the point and that was a one time thing 

"Be yourself, as much as you're comfortable showing- now this is a bit different than what most there say, most people just say be yourself- I love this idea, but sometimes the way our society is it just doesn't work that way, so test your boundaries and find whats comfortable- add genuine pieces to your everyday public self and see how you feel, sometimes when you're scared to be a completely open it's easier to just be a bit "

That's what I do every-day 

"at the end of the day, just know everyone is carrying and trying to work over some type of hurdle"

Yeah  mine is to build my self-confidence...

hugs my upset pone I'm sorry, I'd help you do it if I could 

Also that video was super cute owo
