    It took me years to come to terms with myself and it really isn't easy. It makes life more difficult even when everyone supports you. The best way to "come out" is to wait until a new chapter of your life opens up and then being honest with who you are. For example, I realized I liked guys halfway through my middle school. My school was full of homophobes and retards, and even though I really wanted to just be myself, I decided to bite my tongue and wait until I finished my middle school. If I were to tell everyone, it would just make things a hundred times more difficult for myself. It made me feel pretty alone on the planet during those last few middle school years but I managed to pull through and chose to go to university. At that moment I could just be whoever I wanted to be, I could be open about who I was because all those retards from the school were gone now or didn't matter anymore even if they would go to the same university. I would meet a lot new people and if I was just myself from the moment I met them, they won't hate or dislike me even when they realize I'm gay at one moment. Even if they do hate me, well that's just one less idiot in my life trying to mess with me. I think that's the best way to "come out". Not by being in everyone's faces about it and not by pronouncing it on every website you're on, but by just being yourself and telling people when they ask or letting them figure it out for themselves. You'll get to be yourself and don't need to go through the permanent hassle of telling everyone or annoy everyone with it.

    Back in Russia I came across my fair share of needles, knives and plastic zipper bags of dirty drugs but the weirdest thing I ever came across was when I one day entered the guy's restroom on the first floor in my middle school and discovered that all urinoirs were filled with poop. Seven of them in a row filled to the brim, some of them even so full that they were dripping out poo, not to mention the walls being smeared with poo as well. I thought I saw it all in Russia, but somehow Holland trumped it. It has been six years now and to this day nobody knows who did it or why. Needless to say from that day onward I hate going to public restrooms.

    I used to meditate from time to time but not as often anymore. The biggest meditative state I used to be in was when I practiced martial arts techniques, just feeling every moving part in my body and letting my mind flow with thoughts was extremely relaxing.

    Holy damn that new Star Ward movie was awesome!

    My boyfriend and friends live pretty far away, everyone studies at different universities and the people I know at mine aren't really people I find particularly interesting to be friends with. Even though I'm pretty much always alone, I never feel lonely. I'm used to being alone since I was born and I don't really have a problem with that. I can always reach my friends on my phone or on my pc and as long as I get to see them once or twice a half year, I don't really feel lonely.

    I swear all the time alone and in front of friends, it's just the way we speak around here and none of it is truly meant serious. In front of strangers, in public and in front of family or people I respect I don't swear at all unless something really serious has happened and I want to voice my concern about it in a very direct way.

    I use a cheat sheet for nearly everything. Languages, programming, games. Using a cheat sheet combined with mnemonics has helped me a long way. I used to be very chaotic and forgetful, but "designing" an efficient way for me to learn and remember has helped me more than anything has ever helped me in my life. I went from just F and D scores to only B and A scores. It wasn't easy though, it took me a lot of effort to pull through and keep to my system because I was stupid enough to never do a single thing for school. But by pushing through every day it slowly became easier and easier until I became a learning machine. I know that sounds arrogant, but compared to how I used to be years ago, it really feels like that for me. Keeping a cheat sheet and writing down the basics helps me understand and learn things very easily when I need to apply them, I can just glance over my sheet and remember the things I don't remember or understand the things I don't understand. As I learn new things my cheat sheet expands and as I practice more and more I learn everything by heart. Combine that with mnemonics and asking questions and that simple piece of paper pushed me from total idiot to a student that gets just A and B scores.

    Only when people I care about or respect say something harsh to me. Unless it's constructive criticism or a well-worded argument I don't care about a random stranger's opinion at all, because a stupid opinion from a stranger or from the internet is just as significant as the dirt under my shoes.

    No I don't have any form of autism, but I am surprised to see nearly half of the votes saying yes to having some form of autism.

    I'm phlegmatic for the most part but I have some sanguine mixed into it and a tiny bit of the other two. None exactly describes who I am but phlegmatic is the one who'd fit me the most.

    I'm 21. Gosh sometimes I feel so old. A few days ago the Xbox 360 had its 10th birthday. I was 11 when that thing came out and 12 when I got a ps3 and played a lot of online with my best friend. It feels like one or two years ago sometimes, but then I realize it's been 9 frickin' years. It's a miracle that my back isn't aching yet xD

    I envy you guys in the USA for having Halloween and Black Friday

    I build my own pc. There's hardly any pc site that's worth buying a pre-build pc from and I have no problem with building my own system. At least when something breaks then it's my own fault or the build quality of my product was faulty. By building a pc it becomes my responsibility. If you don't want to build your own pc then my suggestion would be at the very least finding your own parts and hiring a professional to build it for you. Even with the added price of getting it build, you are bound to save a lot more money AND have a better pc than a pre-build one, especially if you want to get the most out of modern, highly demanding games.

    Terroristic operations happening right now in France

    Are you in one? Yes I am, for two years and nearly a month now. Do you want one? I always have a need to feel close to someone so even if I wasn't in one, I'd be searching for one. I'm very picky on who I like. How do you feel around other couples? I feel happy for them. Love is great no matter how long it lasts. How many have you had? Enough. I've had some serious ones and plenty of short flings with people.

    Being someone who joined the fandom around the time when the fifth episode aired I do sometimes miss those days. Fandoms usually tend to have kind of a growth spurt during their early days and it's usually that time when I really like a fandom. Artists and musicians grow, people came up with crazy new stuff every day, projects got started and people came together more often. Yeah, there was also a lot more toxicity but in the end there was also just more to see and do. That time is over, most of the classics that made the fandom what it was grew over it or just aren't "in it" as they were. Maybe that's a good thing or a bad. Who can forget the infamous Rainbow Factory fanfic, SAM and Cheerilee's Garden? Who can forget music like Ultimate Sweetie Belle, guys like Omnipony, H8_Seed and ChainAlgorithm?, art by CrookedTrees etc? They're not there anymore. The guys who made the cornerstones of the fanbase are gone and all that's left are the dozens new people that live on the platform those people build. They're great at what they do, but they're just not the "founders" of a fanbase. I can only look back at that time with fondness. Call me a nostalgiafag as much as you want, but there's something you can never find except during this "growth spurt" of a fanbase and that goes for any fanbase, not just this one. In the end, it was a crazy ride but that ride's over.

    A 90s singleplayer shooter, adventure or platformer would be nice to have, those used to be especially awesome during the N64 and PS1 times. As far as other games, I don't know. A lot of indie developers who tried to make a retro game never interested me nor did their games. Aside from nostalgia, most of those modern retro games pretty much suck hard and can't keep me interested for long. So in the end, yes I would buy one. But I will be very careful with what I'd pick because there seems to always be one or two faulty things with most retro games.

    400+ hours of trying to finish Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on the PSP. The fun thing is, I still haven't finished the game.

    About three hundred to five hundred angry clowns marching through the street or riding around in their vehicles. They were blocking off streets and performing clown acts while they marched and protested about being taxed too much by the government. That happened about a month ago. Edit: Figured it might sound pretty unplausible so I uploaded the only video I had of the protest. It's only the start though so you don't see the HUGE amount of clowns walking behind the banner-holding guys. Here's a direct link to the video because I couldn't find a way to put it on here directly, it's a little loud so be sure to reduce the volume a little before starting the video: https://vid.me/e/JLx0

    I'm always positive and optimistic about my life and most of the other people I talk to and am with are positive as well. I don't think it ever became a problem though, I have no problem handling negativity, criticism or stopped being realistic. I guess when it comes to being too positive the real problem starts when people are fooling themselves that everything is okay. That they are "fine" or that the situation they are in is "not as bad as it seems". Instead of dealing with their situation right away seriously, they just go about their day as they always do. The situation gets worse and they panic, they spiral down and feel like they can't do anything. Or when they come to realize how bad they actually do feel for themselves, it starts to eat away at them. This tug-and-pull of fooling yourself to stay positive while everything grows out of control and how dire the situation really is can have a heavy effect on your psyche. Being unable to take any criticism is just one little thing, becoming blind to reality is something a whole lot worse in my opinion. When staying positivty is the only thing you can do, that's where it starts to really poison you.

    I just take five minutes off to be alone and calm down. There's not a lot that makes me upset but whenever he does make me upset or angry I just watch a video or play a game for five minutes to keep my mind off of it.

    It's okay to cry and be emotional, regardless of your gender. But it's really annoying if you're crying all the time and constantly complaining about spilled milk. In cases like that I think it's appropriate to tell someone to "man up" and stop being such a wimp. As a reality check to make him pick himself up.

    I moved from country to country together with my mother when I was younger. I think I moved 11 times in total before I ended up in Holland. Eventually staying in different countries and learning their languages made me develop a skill for learning languages, you start seeing similarities between them and where their roots lie, it makes it a lot easier to learn a language. It's not that uncommon for Russians or Kazakhs to know plenty of languages, a lot of them move out of their country into Europe so you will find plenty of Russians that know a few languages living in Europe. I guess even then I am kinda a special case when it comes to languages because I moved around a little more than the average Russian or Kazakh.

    I used to have shoulder-length hair until I decide to take a short haircut that's more fashionable about a year ago. My old haircut was really, really out of date and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I go to the barber every other week to keep it at the perfect length so styling it doesn't become too hard.
