173817,

A therapist seems a little extreme, and that's coming from me!

Maybe post a thread in Life Advice then?

 

Actually, not really. I actually have one I talk to weekly, just to make sure I'm doing the right things and getting my life where I want it to be.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

173820,

I already know that Base, in fact I'm fine with you venting if needs be.

You already have found someone to talk to, since actually you've confided in us already!

I could do that, I suppose. But I really don't feel comfortable posting there again, since I regretted it the last time. It made me feel really uncomfortable.

 

 I keep bringing it up here because the people in this thread are for the most part the people I trust the most. Some of you have no idea how to respond, or can't respond right now, or something else. But I feel comfortable talking to most of you here, and like I can trust you enough to show my actual feelings. Even if you can't all do something to help a lot.

 

 You have helped somewhat, even if you haven't made me completely relax or anything. I'm not panicking or breaking down too much anymore at least.

It's not just us, Base. Part of it is you, and the fact that you actually let go a bit. You released a bit of that stored emotion.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

173824,

You get an "A" for honesty Base!

Hm, I don't really know what we can really do other than be there, which is fine with me!

'Tis true, I'm glad we've been able to help, even if it is "somewhat" at least!

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

I understand that too. Which is part of why I keep bringing it up. It's helping, even if not making the problem go away entirely. I'm just hoping he comes back soon so I can stop worrying and know he's okay.

 

 I really wish I could trust people offline enough to talk to them about this. But I can't. I know they won't react well from past experiences and that bothers me.

 

 I usually try to be honest here Cross. I get enough of lying and hiding things offline. I don't want to do that here too.

173827,

It's a shame. I'm guessing your parents don't react well towards online stuff then?   

[Overdrive 5,366]

173828

 

Well what about us, offline? Have you ever thought about that?

173829,

Lol, I am like over the ocean.   

Well, Base, you're doing exactly what I would do a similar situation. Being with my friends always makes me feel better when I'm down so it's all well and good I guess!   

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

173830

 

I'd love to talk to you guys offline. That would possibly work, but I can't.

 

 Nope. My parents really don't like things online. They always told me to never talk to anyone online, and that nobody could be trusted on the internet. That's the reason I didn't sign up for this site for years, even though I've actually visited it quite a lot before signing up.

 

Plus, my parents really don't know much about me. I usually act extremely different around them. Because whenever I've tried to be honest they've reacted with anger or fear or sadness about it.

I don't really have anything to say.

Hello Swirl, that's fine. *Hugs*

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

173831,

Heya Swirls!

 

Haha, My parents are exactly the same. I get similar situations, though not with MLP and online stuff. Different things!

The internet isn't really such a bad place. Sure there are some dodgy people here and there, but there's a lot of nice ones too.

Hey look, Swirly's here... SWIRLY?!?!?! *hugs Swirly*

173835,

Wow, Haven't seen you around here in quite a while Swirls!

Timezones.   

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

173836

 

Before I came here I really didn't have anyone I could talk with or really be honest too. So, I'm just used to desperately keeping everything bottled up. And I'm not used to getting any help.

 

 Nobody here could probably ever say anything that would make this worry go away completely. Only Rising coming back would probably do that. But that fact that I'm able to even say these things around you, and that you all are willing to at least try and help, is doing more good than anything else. So, thanks. Thanks a lot.

@Cross: Not timezones; I've been staying off the thread for a few days since it's always really depressing when I visit here.

 

*hugs Base and Smashy *

Still, I know I'd be really worried if Wolfie just suddenly left like that, so it's okay.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

173839,

You're welcome of course Base!   

Ah that'd explain it. Fair enough Swirls, it probably bothers some more that others I'd say. 

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

173841

 

Yeah, I'll admit I'm not really helping in keeping this place too cheerful at the moment. Hopefully that's fixed soon though.

 

 I'll try not to make it too upsetting. I don't want to upset everyone, and obviously there are still some good, fun things going on, even if I do have some worries and problems right now. I'll start bringing it up in the PM mostly from now on, since this thread is supposed to be for fun.

 

 And thanks Swirl.

Hey Spectrum!

 

Base, I know exactly how you feel. I was exactly the same before I came onto the site, my parents had the same ideas about the Internet. In fact, someone close to me nearly got extorted a while back due to irresponsible Internet use. But I know my way around and know where the good element is, and I try to be tight with as many people as I can.

 

I know how distressing it is when someone we enjoy is gone for a reason we don't know or understand, and unfortunately these circumstances are far worse than anything I've ever went through, so I really can't respond the best to this. But, we still have each other and whatever happens, we'll get through it. We can't let this keep us down forever, but we can't forget it completely either.

 

If something ever happens to me, do me a favor and please don't give a damn about it. Just go right on posting and ask questions later. After all, I'm just a guy on the other side of the screen.
