Things you can't talk about around friends and family.

[The Man 11]

Do you feel being repressed because everyone else just talks about TV and everyday life? Feeling misunderstood for your interests?

Are you going out of your mind because /r/atheism is down, you can't find your Linkin Park album and your fedora isn't sitting straight on your head?

 

You've come to the right place, mate. Talk about whatever you feel like, as long as it is SFW.. At least, spoiler it.

 

Me? I find it annoying that plebs cannot think of time and the events within as nonlinear.

 

Btw, Hitler is alive.

[IamSanchO 19]

A general discussion to talk about anything huh... well I guess that is pretty cool. I guess I will waste the rest of space talking about nothing. Okay, I'm good.

Woah woah woah, /r/atheism is down? Since when and why?

And yeah, if you can't tell, I like the idea of this thread. Seems like quite a good idea. 

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

Well, I WOULD post a reply here, but if I said anything, it would be around my friends... so this is kinda redundant since most of my friends are forum goers.

[Scootalove 10,689]

The things that I can't talk around my friends and family, is how I really feel about them or my secrets of course. But other than that, I tell them what I want to say.

[Future Allie Way 185]

I feel like everyone hates me and people just pretend to like me.

Like, even if it's my best friend that we're talking about

I never really believe it even if she tells me that she doesn't hate me.

 

 

Once i made the mistake of talking about that to my parents and they just made fun of me UwU

[Kazuki Fuse 534]

I sometimes wonder if my life would have been better and maybe I'd be a happier person if I had never started listening to Swans.

 

[SoundRaptured 139]

huh. I have a crush on a girl I'm not allowed to because she's moved to wisconsin. 

My friend who nopony except my brother knows about is attempting suicide. 

 

I liek ponies.

 

and thats about it. xD

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

I have a lot of trouble communicating my feelings with my family, I don't know why, because they are very open. I just prefer to keep those things to myself, for some reason. 

[Lunas Husband 2,777]

Noting... I can talk about anything with anyone.. I don't mind and I for one don't care.. ahh trying to think if there is maybe even one... but noting is coming to mind

[GhostPony750 959]

Everything. My interests are just so different from the conventional (you know, what society think is the best: Pop, japanese cars, fashion, mangas, everything japanese...)

I like Muscle/rally cars, prog rock. That's it. I have found no one else in my entire life that shares the same interests as me.

[TomokoKuroki 1,707]

Well if anything, I guess it would be my admiration towards anime/manga. I have many different titles for both anime and manga. I also have some collectibles I like to pick up now and then. Primarily they are things like Posters/wall scrolls, figurines of my favorite characters, or just anything neat to have really.

 

But no one I know in my social life shares my common interests. So I have a very hard time bringing my interests into a conversation as I feel like the odd one out.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Well my friends and I have the same interests like anime, video games, and stuff like that.

 

I have no problem discussing my hobbies/interests with them, but we never really talk about feelings. I never talk to my family or friends about how I feel. The only people I can talk to about my feelings are my online friends, but I only really have one online friend nowadays. I used to have a ton, but I guess I don't talk to people as much anymore as I used to.

[Sabrinie 392]

I can't really talk to my friends and family about a lot of my thoughts. I don't think they'd be able to handle everything that would come out of my mouth. I'm a really nice person to everyone but myself, and I don't think the people closest to me would want to hear me talk about myself the way I truly feel about myself.

 

Wow that escalated quickly. It's funny how you can feel so free to say anything when you get to hide behind a keyboard...

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

Everyone around me is such a pleb when it comes to music I swear. I showed my uncle some Isis and he didn't like it, then he asked me if I had any Madonna in my iPod. Like, tafuq dawg?

 

Oh well, it's not like have friends anyways.

[Smarts 1,622]

I can't talk about my problems around my family since they don't understand what I'm going through. Around my friends, I just say whatever comes to mind.

[Sonicwing 57]

Yeah, I don't talk about anything with anyone in my family. All of my interests are wildly different. I can talk about anything with my friends cos I know that we share most interests and even with things we don't share they know me and don't find it too weird if I wonder, out-loud, whether or not a bugs life flashes before its eyes when it hits your windscreen. My family have no clue about me.

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

I don't understand why someone would post their feelings on the internet for everyone to see if they can't share them with close friends or family.

[Miss Mechanical 88]

I have many things I don't talk to my friends and family about. I actually lie to them about certain stuff, things like they say "Have you found a place to live?? Is everything okay?" I reply "Yupp, things are going okay, blah blah blah lie lie lie" 

 

I keep things to myself irl most of the time. I don't want people to worry about me, or know what's going on in my brain.

[crazitaco 596]

I don't understand why someone would post their feelings on the internet for everyone to see if they can't share them with close friends or family.

cause anonymity.

and someone on the internet is more likely to agree with you or sympathize. also my interests often reflect those of other internet dwellers. its hard to share my interests with my family just because how...uncommon they are.

 

~~~

 

speaking of anonymity, i totally support anonymous.i have an extremely pessemistic view of society and the government especially. i wouldn't dare tell my family, or even my friends. that would involve me explaining what it is, and warding off their disapproval. and of course, ponies. they may or may not be aware of my obsession for techinicolor miniature horses, but there's no way they know about the brony fandom and what goes on in fandoms in general. i could go on and on about the things my family doesn't know about me (and i don't want them to know about), so i'll just stop here.

For friends in real life, not on the internet. On the internet, we have people that are similar to us.

 

For me, it's my bronyship. I'm not kidding, I don't want a repeat of my freshmen year. Especially when there are kids attempting to be badass. And today, it was a very close call.

 

Me and a girl I know were talking about a dance coming up, and I was saying that no girl would ask me to the dance. Why? Most girls I know have a boyfriend. inb4 sucks to suck

 

So, she told me to ask this pegasister out. I told her I knew about the brony community, and if I went with her, it would "make me consider joining the fandom", and guess what? The girl told a very popular person that I was a brony, and I explained how I wasn't, and she misheard me.

 

He believed me, thank god. I was so shocked that I almost passed out.

[Winterbass 763]

I can't be open about my sexuality anywhere around people I know irl, it's simply impossible. A few of them are homophobes, so being myself is out of the question. I can't even talk about my own feelings around them, they're so inconsiderate most of the time. Even when I help them deal with their problems, they don't return the same gesture at all. There's only one I dared to tell, but that's because I was really drunk, good thing he didn't mind at all, but he's probably the only one. 

 

Besides that, no one likes the type of music I like. Whether it's dubstep, chillout, psychedelic or metal, I don't know anyone whom I can talk with about these genres. There's one, but he only likes trash metal, and that's a genre I don't like at all. 

 

My family? They don't know me, they think they know me, but they're far from able to guess the real me. I can't talk about anything around them, I don't even like them to begin with and they just don't understand me at all.

[Fireworks 32]

Friends: Almost everything

 

Family: Everything

 

My friends don't really "know" me (and they never will).

 

From time to time, I just call a friend over and we head off deep into the woods, set up some recyclables (cans, bottles), and shoot them up. We talk about random stuff like anyone would with their friend(s). I don't feel comfortable discussing my feelings with anyone, including my friends.

 

My family, I just keep away from them and do my own thing.

[ChoroChii 284]

I generally have a difficult time discussing my feeling in real life, that's about it. If there's something I'm interested in, I usually talk to others about it. I usually keep my political or religious thoughts to myself but that's what forums are for. 

 

Other than that, if I have rude thoughts of others, chances are I won't say them.

So yeah, I think I'm good lol

[Envy 6,162]

I can't really talk religion with my family and a good portion of my friends. It's not that I won't discuss it at all... I will discuss matters of homosexuality and the Bible, but I will not discuss my real feelings on religion and the fact that I don't believe. My friends know that I don't believe, even though I never really told them. However, it's still not something I wish to discuss.

 

There is one exception, but she is an atheist, too. And our views line up pretty much perfectly.

 

When it comes to my family, I don't bring it up because I'd rather them not ever know I don't believe. I'd rather them be able to comfort themselves that they will see me in Heaven when that time comes. It's easier that way... It's going to be painful enough. I don't want their religious beliefs, however misguided they may be, making it any worse for them. The thought of your loved one possibly going to Hell, can be one of the worst possible things to think about. I'd rather them not have to suffer that thought.

 

Perhaps I didn't have to go into that much detail.... Oh well... Lol.
