  1. I’m not great at people skills either, but from my own experiences I know it’s something you just learn how to do. You get better at it first by understanding how your job works. Once you get comfortable with your tasks, you can start to feel more comfortable talking to people. If it can happen for a publicly quiet person like me, it can happen for you.

    You have to realize, too, that there are forgiving people out there. Most people I’ve worked with have been pretty forgiving if I say or do something incorrect so long as I’m willing to fix my mistake. Sure, there’s people out there that don’t take mistakes lightly, but that’s on them, not you. I’m not saying go out and make a bunch of mistakes, I’m just saying a small slip-up every now and then is not as disastrous as you would think.

  2. What I’m curious about is if they can transform into anything, how come their magic if they become a unicorn remains that neon green color? Aside from the occasional eye reflection giving themselves away, you don’t really see a whole lot of indicators that some creature is actually a Changeling.

    I know what you said earlier about their abilities, but I always thought it was strange that they didn’t at least obtain the aura color of who they were impersonating and keep their own magic style (so no waves or sparkles).

  3. I always thought unicorns were really cool and a part of my OC that I incorporate is that she is a more confident, more talented version of myself. I wouldn’t say I did that because I have self esteem issues (I have improved A LOT over the past few years) but I would say I did that because a) ponies are better anyways and b) I wanted to practice writing about myself (well, sort of myself) in a way that isn’t always at my expense, which could get annoying after a while. Also, the whole unicorn thing ties in with my OC’s talent because her magic is a sort of ‘talent enhancer’. She doesn’t necessarily need it but it improves her skills when she needs the boost.

    As for my other OCs, I actually really love making Earth Pony ones just because they are so rare. Like my unicorn one, both Earth Ponies I have made so far have abilities that tie into the earth, which tie into their talents. I do the same thing with my Pegasi as well.

    Personally I think pony race is really important because each race can shape a character in a different way. There is always a story to the race chosen, it is hardly ever just a random choice.

  4. Art is almost too subjective for what it is. Stuff that looks like paint splatter or heck, even a BANANA ON A WALL, is considered “real art” and sold for tons of money but other things that people work too hard on are barely recognized or considered trash, either by the artist themselves or their audience. It’s why I don’t like art classes cause they expect you to do art just like somebody famous and don’t understand that you’re supposed to have your own style.

  5. I’m from there but I don’t necessarily support it 100%. Our gov is really skewed and it sickens me how a lot of the times good things only come to those who are white and/or have a lot of money.
     

    The main thing is that it seems like it’s all over the place. That’s all I have to say about it, really.

  6. In a small way I understand how taking a break feels unproductive and useless. The problem with this is that you eventually feel you have to work more and more and more and you start to burn out. Once you start to burn out you start to feel bad because you really want a break but you feel like it’s a waste of time.

    I really believe taking breaks now and then would really ease your mind if you let them. Allow yourself to have a bit of peace and quiet every now and then. It gives your mind a chance to think more rationally if it doesn’t have a million other thoughts swirling around.
