Winter Storm

I'd be willing to try to meet up with you guys if you've got a group going.

A lot of times I feel like I'm just not intended to be happy in life. There are a lot of things I desire yet can't achieve and I'm not really good at coping with that.

I've considered it on a few subjects but I hear the Wikipedia bureaucracy and moderator clique is so bad that it's hard to add anything even if you are very knowledgeable about a particular subject.

I just really love MLP and ponies, I'd like to get to know others who share my love of them but I am not the best at social interaction. I have gone to conventions before but I have a very hard time talking to strangers at them.

Wishing I was 10 years younger.

I sort of feel like if I ever did find myself in a relationship they'd expect me to "know better" as in having all sorts of expectations about how I'm supposed to act and what I'm supposed to do based on past relationships. The prospect makes me nervous. I wish I could give it up and not care but it just really gnaws at me.

Stressed, all of these appointments I need to arrange and go to, my car is acting up, and I still can't make any progress in my life.

That's a lot of excitement in your posts. I guess you're channeling Pinky Pie pretty well.

I used to be active on some forums for certain games like the old Bioware forums what seems like a lifetime ago. Not so much these days though. Those and many other forums have shut down, I guess they aren't as popular as they used to be. Besides for that I'm on a few military history/equipment related boards that discuss minute details that would bore a lot of people. It's very much a different sort of environment. Never been one for Reddit myself, a lot of it just feels very "artificial" to me with the upvotes farming and overzealous moderation and things like that.

Had a tornado warning last evening. That's a pretty rare occurrence for my area.

I don't know if the latter is entirely true. I certainly feel like I've missed out on something in life. I'm probably guilty of idealizing what the ideal relationship would be but it's hard not to when you see others who seem to have achieved what I desire. For me personally I am terrible with social skills and always extremely anxious/nervous when talking casually to strangers, especially women, not that there are many opportunities to talk to them casually for me. I can never think of what to say quickly enough for there not to be awkward silences and I wouldn't even dare think of trying to flirt. I don't think I lack emotion but I do strive to hide it irl. Dating apps aren't much good for guys unless you're one of the desirable ones and I don't think many would view me as desirable. Dating apps also seem to attract certain type of people, I'm not certain how I would describe it but I just don't see the sort of people I can really relate to.

It seems downright impossible to meet anyone with the same interests once you're 30.

2am here. Sometimes I feel like the only brony on the East Coast left.

I have memorized that 1 inch = 25.4mm thanks to constantly converting naval gun calibers back and forth between the two systems.

I went to Harmonycon earlier this year, wish I could have gone to Trotcon too but flights are expensive. I just wish I was better able to talk to others, I am so socially anxious and nervous it depresses me a lot.

I just feel trapped by my depression. Can't make any progress towards what I want to achieve.

It's been so long I don't really know.

Are you talking about the fandom as a whole? A lot of times I feel the same way and it saddens me, I feel like I missed out on so many of the best times and opportunities because I'm such a socially awkward mess.

Considering the behavior of some of the musicians in the fandom you probably did nothing wrong.

I miss having chocolate milk as often as you did in school. Now it's a luxury.

Hi Silky, for some reason your video won't play for me. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Might post a picture of myself but it's hard to take a good picture of myself.

A bit ill, maybe due to a lack of sleep, I'm not sure.

I have never even had a kiss and I'm older than many of you, it kinda hurts to think no woman has ever found me attractive or interesting or whatever. I'm just so socially awkward and incompetent at that sort of thing. I always worry I'm weirding people out and am always nervous in conversation. Honestly I just want to meet a girl who shares my love of pony but those seem so rare. I even go to conventions yet I can hardly speak to other guys there let along girls. I might be able to say a sentence or two but then I can't think of what else to say so I disengage. It feels very hopeless.

I find I'm a lot more honest on the internet at least within certain circles. Real life I have to appear to be normal.

How do you even peel from B? That doesn't seem to make any sense.
