DJRainbowDash 724 April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 To be honest, I would probably go crazy since it'd just be me and, assuming I still remember what society is like and what interests I still have. I mean, not being able to check up on what's happening in the world, not being able to interact with others, and, most of all, not being able to enjoy ponies would probably make me go loopy. But I'm hoping it's worth it in the long run, since I would be away from all the ills of society and would no longer have to deal with trying to survive in the environment that all nations have built up. Regardless, I would probably die since I've been so used to living in an industrialized nation and I have no formal survival training and little survival skills. But it would be worth it. Somehow. Maybe so that I would eventually forget about society and forget about the fact that I have no family and no one to turn to. Well after a long period of time nature and the life it has within it might be enough for you to continue living on. I imagine there are some people, very few though, who are okay living amongst nature and nothing else. There almost is a deeper connection with nature in these sorts of people than the majority of the 7 billion humans in the world. I mean the most isolated I'd ever go would be a nice small town, but I don't think I'd eve truly like to live alone. 1 " I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." - Mewtwo My Friendship is Magic Fanfiction Page: http://www.fimfiction.net/user/The%20DJ%20Rainbow%20Dash -Signature art designed by the lovely vinyl_scratch 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I might be able to adapt to my situation, especially if I truly want to keep living on without my family or the comforts that society has granted me. Regardless, I'd rather live alone if given the chance. Without the threat of other humans or the worries of the human world, especially since I no longer have the support of my family, I simply think it would be better. #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_solidsnake 122 April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 Probably not, I am already going through some depression right now and losing everything like that at once would probably drive me to the point of no return and cause me to commit suicide. I could maybe survive and build myself back up if I lost everything else but my friends and family though it wouldn't be easy. We all need a fresh start every now and then though and that is what I am trying to do now by pursuing my dreams of becoming an author. Well, you're either able to star over again or you're not. You will never start all over again, just continue. Life can't be stopped and no one is able to rewind it. You lose everything? Well, keep going! This has happened to me a couple of times (no house, no income, nothing at all) and still my family continues and I keep on going. Even if my family dissapears, I'll keep on moving until I die. Suicide is not a valid answer. You let the pain take over you? You already fail. By doing nothing you fail. At least keep going on! I don't care if I know my chances of moving on are low, I'll continue to fight and be as awesome as I can. Because I am Ponyd Snake (just trying to cheer you up at the end).

Shanks 10,816 April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 Suicide is not a valid answer. Yes I agree it isn't, however I know myself and I know that if I were in that situation the last rational part of my mind that would prevent me from doing that would be completely gone. I have contemplated suicide in the past and one of the things that stopped me from going through with it is the fact that I do have people that care about me, for the record though I am as I have said before going through depression I currently have no thoughts of suicide so you can rest easy on that. The question in the op assumes that you don't even have your friends or family anymore which would push even a lot of mentally and emotionally happy and healthy people over the edge. So it is because I am not emotionally or mentally in the best place right now though I am thankfully far from the worst that I would likely put myself down for an early dirt nap if this were to actually happen to me.Due to the fact that the painful experiences in my life have made me a much stronger person than I otherwise would have been I am significantly less likely to end it all if this were to happen to me now than if it were to happen to me say 10 or 15 years ago. 1 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoniesPlease 365 April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 I'm 17, Agoraphobic, a college (That's College in the UK, not College in the US) dropout, under-achieved (by mine, and everyone else's standards) in secondary school and my biggest achievement in life was getting the 'Academic Achievement Award' in Year 9. Of course I could, I'd probably achieve more in 1 year than I already have in 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I could, I'd probably achieve more in 1 year than I already have in 17. That's... good to hear? I am 17 and in school at the moment. If I would be able to start over, I would not only be able to work my way up to where I am now, I would do better since I would spend more time on studies instead of spending 2740 hours on mlp forums. Haha just kidding But I'd definitely spend more time for homeworks and such Are you looking for the word "now" ? Are both of you saying you would like to start over? Need to change the past up a bit? Good to see this is going well. Keep 'em coming. I enjoy listening. Gives me something enjoyable to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokuc 8,173 April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 Are both of you saying you would like to start over? Heck no! I ment that if it started over automatically, that would be what would happen.

Keep 'em coming. I enjoy listening. Gives me something enjoyable to do. Well, no, Assuming that this is more of a 'Time Travel/Multi-Verse' kind of situation, I would end up simply making the same decisions that I had previously made, leaving me in this exact same position as I am now. If I had memories of my past life, however, then I would be able to rectify some of the aforementioned issues resulting in a better life for myself, and hopefully others too. Perhaps I'm getting off topic here, so in short - Yes, if I could change some things then certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I could, I'd probably achieve more in 1 year than I already have in 17. Well, I'm a university dropout (I know the differences, so thanks for the info), but it's kind of the same situation, except for the mayor fact that you really need to go back to college :3 Seriously. University is freaking expensive (except here, but you don't have a lot of career options) and you still can get a decent job. Without college, your chances are lower. Mmm... Perhaps you can study at home? Idk, but try to finish it. And please, see a psychologist. I know a little bit about that issue because I was scared to get out of my house. It wasn't a phobia, but I was terrified to get out (I still am). A psycho-logist helped me :3 hope you can get over your issues. Oh, and by the way, F$%&/ underachievement. I've never achieved a lot in life but I'm happy like this. If you're not happy, then work on that and achieve something! at least I could learn to write and speak english properly with my own effort Maybe you just need to improve something you're already good at (cooking, writing stories, pony dating, idk). You seem to be like a nice person I hope you get better. And if you don't... It doesn't matter it's your life. Live it! You like my "Ponyd Snake" avatar? You want to have a great avatar like mine?

Neon Fire 473 April 11, 2013 Share April 11, 2013 I don't think so. The hardest part for me would be giving up my family and friends, who mean everything to me. So it'd be very hard if I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunas Husband 2,777 November 19, 2013 Share November 19, 2013 Yeah, because I have lost all of that..

Cygnus 60 November 20, 2013 Share November 20, 2013 (edited) I would struggle, but I think I could do it. With more confidence and social skills as an adult I'd certainly be better off than I was as a teenager, but it's not like I have a lot to begin with. If I could choose a new home I'd pick from among a handful of East Asian countries. I don't fit the culture I was born into very well and I'm planning to emigrate after college, anyway...

You are made by the location you grow up in, man. It may feel like you don't belong, but that's because you aren't looking on the bright side. If you feel that you should be somewhere else, then that is probably just because you like something that originated from over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonic Revelations 8,835 November 21, 2013 Share November 21, 2013 (edited) I don't have much to my name anyway, it wouldn't be hard to work back up the almost nothing I currently possess.

If you feel that you should be somewhere else, then that is probably just because you like something that originated from over there. Not really, no. Looking away from things such as anime and manga (which I don't enjoy, nor am I drawn to the idea of East Asian cultures as spiritual and mystical), the actual traits that are used to describe cultural values and attitudes neither fit me nor appeal to me when I look at the US. Basing this off of two friends living in Japan, two friends who've worked with Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean businessmen in their career, various foreign students at my job, and some basic studies of culture. Some locations in South America and West Africa also have appealing cultural traits that I've discovered through talking to friends and acquaintences, but I don't know enough to say that I'd enjoy a life there. I'm in pre-emigration research, anyway. Edited November 21, 2013 by Cygnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatwave 177 November 21, 2013 Share November 21, 2013 Sometimes I feel like I want to start over, but It would never be the same. I've made mistakes, but I'm glad that I have every good thing that has come with it. Could I work my way back to this same point? Not sure. Probably.

Sabrinie 392 November 21, 2013 Share November 21, 2013 I'd like to think that I could, but I don't honestly think so. I would love to move to a different country where I would be doing this, kind of, but I would always have the support of my friends and family to keep going up. Without them, I don't think I'd be able to do anything What fun is there in making sense?
