Tonight, we, the boys of Yea Forums, are going to have our selves a good old fashioned sleepover, just like back in high school. It's raining and cold outside, so come on in, grab yourself a drink, maybe play a video game, and get to know your Yea Forumsrothers.
A little shy? That is alright. Below is a list of questions to get yourself started. Answer as many or as few as you want, just be sure to give a detailed response. We want to know what you think, this isn't some simple survey. Be sure to respond to other Anons as well, this isn't just a conversation between you and OP.
>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? >WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? >What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? >Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up. >What is a film that has sentimental value to you? >What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Hard mode, not a girl/romantic interest.
wish i could join you guys, too bad i'm busy with a family function right now
William Turner
I will start us off.
>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? Physically, it is my apartment. I have lost almost everything in the last two years, and it is the last thing I really have. If I lost these walls I'm not sure what I'd do or where I'd go to live. I know I would land on my feet, but it would be a long time until I found happiness again. This apartment means so much to me.
>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another?
>What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? I was really in to Super Smash Brothers Melee like most of the boys my age. I remember being able to play that non-stop for hours with the right people. My friend and I got so good at fighting each other in particular that we would spend 20 minutes not being able to land a single hit because of how well we evaded one another.
>Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up. I think it was the summer before freshman year. I had made a new friend at the very beginning of summer and he just never left my home. It was amazing. We would spend the whole morning looking for spare change until we had three dollars, just enough to go to the bowling alley and buy a soda and some fries. I remember being up at 3 in the morning watching FLCL reruns, being so out of things to do that we would then watch PeeWee's Playhouse when that came on. We would walk down to the beach some days, and other days just play video games until the sun went down.
>What is a film that has sentimental value to you? I have a strange attachment to an indie horror film called 'After'. I have yet to meet another person who has seen it, let alone heard of it. It is very much like the early Silent Hill games.

>>What is the most important thing you gave in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? My apprenticeship lined up for me at the end of this semester. It's my ticket to a job and if I lost it I guess I'd try and find another job at a steel firm but I would be crushed. >>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? My roommates. The two of them are my rock. Without them life would be a lot lonelier and we all help each other out through the highs and lows of life. They are my Bros to the end. >>What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? Super Smash Bros, all the fucking way. No contest. >>Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up Summer between sophomore and junior year of highs school. Basically spent the whole summer hanging out since I finally had a car and spent a lot of time smoking with the boys. Towards the end I even got into a pretty nice relationship with a solid 8/10. >>What is a film that has sentimental value to you? The first curious George movie. That was my favorite movie for a long time and the songs from it still fill me with that nostalgia of childhood memories and pure innocence. My parents were divorcing and fighting all the time but I was too busy watching Curious George. That got me through the numerous moves with my mom over the course of the years. >>What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Hard mode, not a girl/romantic interest Hard mode is indeed hard. My roommate's girlfriend is abusive to him. She took his virginity and he's gone full retarded for her. I want to point out that the things she does to him are not on and he needs to dump her ass, but I feel like that would kill him.
Jacob Sanchez
Alright I’m going out back to smoke a bowl real quick, anyone want to join?
>back in highschool My highschool sleepovers consisted for drinking and/or doing drugs all night, and very little sleeping was involved. I think middle school sleepovers would’ve been a better comparison
Angel Rivera
Nothing. No one. Halo 1 Dont really remember had alot of fun ones That I need help
James Thompson
I wish I could b/rother
Leo Foster
>I want to point out that the things she does to him are not on and he needs to dump her ass What kind of things does she do?
> but I feel like that would kill him. Very few men have actually been killed by a soured relationship with a woman. It can be hard since oyu live with him though, it can ruin a friendship. Perhaps you shoudl start by asking him how he feels about those things.
>The first curious George movie. How old are you? if it's the one I'm thinking of I remember it coming out in my freshman year of highschool. If that's a childhood memory then I feel old.
>, just be sure to give a detailed response. We want to know what you think, this isn't some simple survey.
Austin Clark
Wish I could tell someone about my emotions and just where my head is right now. I struggle to explain it right and always feel like I'm burdening the listener or wasting time
Dylan Ward
>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? The most important thing in my life right now would be my car. For me its a sense of freedom that I saved for all my life to buy. >WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? That would be my best friend Jesse. Shes the only person that I've told many things too. She has helped me through so many hard times that I don't know where I would be without her. If I lost her I would probably not be able to go on. She is the one person that if I lost her I would be broken. >What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? For me that would be the first Black Ops.(Im cheating a bit since I was homeschooled so I didnt have any friends off of Xbox) Me any my friend Sparky and Jaxx would stay up for days grinding multiplayer and zombies. I wish I could go back to then. >Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up. >What is a film that has sentimental value to you? Nothing really. My family never really had movies. The one movie that gives me chills is probably Your Name or A Silent Voice. >What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Not Hard mode That I love Jesse and I would do anything for her, but I would be ok if she wants to stay friends. Hard mode, not a girl/romantic interest. I Wish that I could tell Jaxx i'm sorry. I didn't mean to say what I said, I wish that I could take it back.
Wholly believe that. I'm at a point now where I rarely bother.
Leo Cook
Are you a man? the emotion part of the male brain isn't connected as wel to the language part as a women's is. We experience the same emotions for the most part but we have trouble saying ours with words. When we do it tend sto be in the form of something structured like poetry.
>my car That is a beautiful sentiment. I have never owned my own car and haven't driven one since becoming an adult. I do miss it but the idea of having one in this city sounds like such a hassle.
>If I lost her I would probably not be able to go on Everyone says they can't go on. Everybody does. It doesn't make a relationship less intense, but you might want to think of things from a realistic perspective.
>your name Is that the anime film?
>a silent voice I have not heard of that one, what is it about?
>I love jesse I had a feeling back when you first mentioned her. Men rarely call a woman their best friend unless it's secretly a romance to them.
1. I live in the middle of nowhere so driving is nice on a cool weekend morning. 2. You're probably right I just cant imagine myself without her rn. 3.Yes it is I would recommend a watch if you are a filthy weeb like me 4. Its about a deaf girl and her past bully realizing he did something wrong and trying to make amends. Again would recommend a watch. 5. Yeah its pretty obv. Weve joked about it, she just dosent want to start anything since we've been friends for so long. 6. His mother had recently passed, and he later woke up a few days later do his dad dead on the floor from a suicide. I told him when he was crying that he was a little bitch before I knew the whole story. He blocked me on everything and got everyone to push me out of the friend group. I havent taked to him since 6th grade. I just hope that hes ok.
She doesn't make time for him, repeatedly will cancel plans for friends, flirts with other guys in front of him to make him jealous, and I've once witnessed her friends telling her "you like *roommate's name*" over and over because she was interested in another guy. If he ever does anything remotely similar she flips her shit at him and he has to win her love back
And I'm aware he wouldn't literally die. And despite her shit, he thinks he's happy, but she's clearly draining him
I really hope your friend wakes up and realizes what that girl's doing to him soon, that sounds awful.
Zachary Reed
Since my questions weren't numbered it makes no sense to number your answers. You should either quote the question with a greentext or make it obvious what you are replying to by re-wording it into your answer.
>3.Yes it is I would recommend a watch if you are a filthy weeb like me I've been planning to watch it from a friends recommendation. I think I'm going to watch a horror movie tonight though. >5. Yeah its pretty obv. Weve joked about it, she just dosent want to start anything since we've been friends for so long. Real talk, that isn't the real reason. If you weren't already friends she still wouldn't give you a chance. Just keep that in mind going forward.
>6. His mother had recently passed, and he later woke up a few days later do his dad dead on the floor from a suicide. I told him when he was crying that he was a little bitch before I knew the whole story. What on Earth drove you to say that?
That does sound like a bad relationship but not exactly abusive. You know your friend better than we do but sometimes when a man is an idiot with girls all you can do is let them be an idiot. As long as you are honest when it comes up, that is the best a man can do. I had a similar situation. Every conversation about his girlfriend was negative, for years he was on the 'verge' of breaking up with her.
Your English is fine, I wouldn't have guessed. I meant that it hurt to read you losing friends over saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Aaron Morris
>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that?
>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? Well, that would be my dad. I turned my back on him and it really fucking hurt him. But he still helped me out when no one else would. I'd be upset but he's up there in age so I could accept that. It would just really suck.
>What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? Spyro, we would pass the controller around each life.
>Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up. Went to alabama had fireworks caught brush on fire my two bros ran up the hill for water. I ran over in flip flops stomping it. Drunk hicks laughing I pee on fire and one says "well, don't pee on it" i respond with "shut the fuck up, I'm twice the redneck you are!"
>What is a film that has sentimental value to you? Star Wars. It was the only non Christian anything my mom would allow and I still like it. >What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Why I am the way I am
You can tell me why you are the way you are if you want.
Hunter Collins
>What on Earth drove you to say that? I hadent herd the entire story, all I knew is that he wasent on for a couple days and he wouldn't tell us whats wrong. I really regret what I said and I would kill to just be able to say i'm sorry.
Cooper Cook
Why did you turn your back on him? What was that story? I had my father figure die recently. It was rough. My real family is too much of a mess for me to check in on.
>spyro I played the ps1 version but got stuck at the same part each time. I would make it to the coast and then fly off into the ocean and die.
>Went to alabama had fireworks caught brush on fire my two bros ran up the hill for water. How old were you? How redneck are you? On a scale from 'what's your favorite starbucks drink?' to 'Meet my girlfriend, we have the same last name'.
>It was the only non Christian anything my mom would allow and I still like it. Did you enjoy any christian films as a child though? I was very into them.
>Why I am the way I am be sure to give a detailed response. We want to know what you think, this isn't some simple survey.
Angel Anderson
I think that makes sense for sixth grade. Still, that's a horrible thing to say in general, but we all have meltdowns at that age.
Nolan Hill
Just alot of shit with my mom lying about everything 17 years later >be me 23 >learn mom wanted to give me up without a fight >remember supressed memories of being told i was hated >have her try to tell me she loves me because I'm making my way into the world
It's just along rant user. Thanks tho I do feel better with that little bit
I have a pretty tough time with my own mother as well.
back story >dad left for greece when i was 9 cuz military blah blah blah (also maybe fights with mom) >in that year a man falls in love with my mom >she was an insurance lady and he was a client and kept coming back with gifts >she told him no but he started following him >starts calling the house >mom asks us not to answer the phone unless its her on the caller ID cuz shes afraid it will be him >me and my brothers are very aware, were all 10 and under but she's not very private with things with us >this goes on for almost a year >late in the year we come home from a school musical I Was in >the back door is wide open >my mothers panties are strewn all over the place >we wait in our rooms as my mom talks to the cops >that night we all sleep in the living room so she can watch over us >uncle is there with a gun >she says she can see him standing at the cemetary across the street but tells us to stay on the floor >this really fucks you up as a kid >puts you in a really strong adrenaline addiction from a young age >I go to bed listening to creepypastas and murder mystery docs >have nightmares so frequently that I film recreations of them, eventually made my own feature film about them >go to all the haunted houses and mazes >go for walks at 3am in los angles ghettos >Even do non horror adrenaline like sky diving, cliff jumping, trapeeze classes etc.
really defined me as a person on an actual biological level because of the intense adrenaline addiction. Even that year I would stay home sick all the time cuz of stomach pain from the stress. I would make it worse by watching the show 'unsolved mysteries'. You can probably guess what my favorite segments were.
>My mother and I havent been on speaking terms for like two years now >I'm actually not on speaking terms with any of my nuclear family >I left on good terms with my little brother, but with the craziness of my parents and especially my older brother (molestation, extreme violence, then threats of violence in our adulthood that lead to me pulling a gun on him) it just wasn't healthy for me to be involved >while visiting my extendeds they tell me they were always worried about us in that home because my mom was always a nutter >my uncle who was there said the whole stalker thing was fake >it was just a ploy to scare us so that our dad would try to come home early >the way he tells the story (i was at the school play early for rehearsal) was that they all loaded up into the car to go >She said she forgot something and ran back inside >10 minutes later (more than enough time to set up her crime scene) she comes out >there was never any restraining order >the police werent even called that night she sent us to our rooms and claimed they came while were in there >he wasn't across the street >suddenly all the inconsistencies made sense >years later i asked his name, she claimd not to forget (I don't believe anyone forgets that sort of thing) >it explains why she had zero problem leaving me home alone almost once a week while sick considering there was supposedly a man camped out on the hill behind our house in the car >it explains what I already knew as a kid, why that car was there long before dad even left let alone when the stalker started >explains why it was parked in a church parking lot instead of being towed by the church owners
There was just so much shit I didn't think about cuz as a kid my mom told me she was in the right. I still can't believe she'd do that to her kids. Apparently my older brother knew for years.
That's horrible. Hope you're currently genuinely loved by others.
Nolan Williams
Well i had graduated HS and my mother showed up in announced had not seen her in about 12 years. Caused drama step mom got involved instinctivly sided with birth mother. Got into fight with dad over it. We're better now but I know it hurt him and i see what he tried shoeing me and uf i didn't get to see him after I got out the military it would have crushed me because the last thing he would have heard from me would have been hate filled lies i was told.
>Alabama We were about 16 or 17 at that time. Id say a firm 'hold my beer while I try to shake the racoon in the trash can'
>Christian I did i enjoyed veggietales and bible man and Prince of Egypt but early on i was mocked in church by the second, sunday school teachers, other kids, etc. So i became pagan.

summer between 11th and 12th; had a girlfriend and we spent all summer playing Tales of Symphonia, going to her cabin, running around the city with each other, playing sexually

Ah, my apologies. I was confused as the context of the story overall was not about that. The movie isn't complete yet, we finished filming but it is in editing now. I have a rough cut but the final draft is a painful process for me. here are some clips and proofs of concept we did:

>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? Right now, it's my career. At 25 I finally found a career that I have a passion for, pays well enough, has huge potential to move upward, and gives me pride to be part of. If I somehow lost my career, nothing could ever replace it. Most other jobs seem meaningless in comparison. >WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? My parents. Someday they'll be gone, but they have always been supportive of me and their pride in me makes them and me happy. I'll feel a lot more alone in this universe when they're gone. No one knows me like they do. >What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? Halo 3/Reach. Fucking classics. >Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up. Went to Whistler, BC on a mountain biking trip. It's the mecca of mountain biking and I still dream of it. >What is a film that has sentimental value to you? The old school live action Ninja Turtle movies on VHS. Probably because I watched them at least 20 times. >What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Hard mode, not a girl/romantic interest. I usually speak my mind, but in the past I was shy around women. So easy mode for me. I would tell her that, in my mind, I will always see her as THE definition of a classic beauty, of what a woman should be.
>That sounds like a great life to live It is, I would recommend it. Just not to go overboard with it. Just have fun.
>Vile creatures indeed Sorry to hear you lost your father figure recently btw. If I could change anything it would be her. I pitty her, but I refuse to acknowledge her.
>Veggietales I still enjoy the firey furnace with the chocolate bunnies.
>What? My mother basically has 5 kids. My 2 btothers and 2 sisters and me. Told oldest sister she had her because she wanted a friend. 2nd to oldest sister that she tried to give her up for adoption at 3 Oldest brother she has him under her spell and my brother is too far gone to be helped. I tried and they just do drugs daily and complain about how our dad "never helped" but that's his story that doesnt add up. Me she surrenders custody of all children to my "rapist" and "abusive" father but that blew up in her face when my sister's testified. ANYWAYS, she would give me phone calls instead if taking me for a weekend and it was normal i was about 6 years old. When I was about 10 or 11 she would call saying how much she hates me and its my fault. And so much shit that i would not answer the phone because I would feel like shit. Went most my life thinking the devorce was my fault because the shit she would say. Leaving me fucked up. And then there is my younger brother like 14yo and he lives around her and stays with his dad, o tell him i want him to love her from a distance no idea what kind of things go on but she tells him i hate him.
Feels bad man. Kid brother thinks the one sibling who hung out with him hates him vecause of a witch.
>It is, I would recommend it. Just not to go overboard with it. Just have fun. I was an island boy for much of my life, and now I'm a man in the city. I do get into great adventures, but not quite the ones you've described thus far.

>Chocolate bunnies I still sing that one, though it was one of the first ones I got on VHS so I saw it a million times.

Only gonna answer a couple, this post will be fucking long otherwise. >What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? I graduate from college next week, if I manage to finish my senior project and pass my finals. Four years ago, I decided not to kill myself based on the idea that I would someday be able to pay my parents back for all the time and money of theirs I wasted. If that job didn't come through, or I failed out of college for the second time, I'd probably find a quiet place in the mountains to decide if I deserve a third chance. >WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? I've been in a long distance relationship for a couple years. I credit them with keeping me from flunking out again, and I'm really glad I'm going to be able to support them in turn soon. I'd be lost without them. >What is a film that has sentimental value to you? Speed Racer. Reminds me of good times with my dad.

I guess my apartment or car Most important person, one of my friends, a tie prob. My ex is pretty important to me too. My favorite game wasn't melee but I played that today, there's a big scene for that game its an esport now. Idk best summer, maybe one when I was young and in the swim team, the rest blend together I watch a ton of movies, maybe the fountain or Mr nobody.
Jack Johnson
1. My freedom. I’m in college with no debt, so I can simply learn and enjoy my time young before I have to work for the rest of my life. If I lost it, I hope I won’t kill myself. 2. My father. He’s the reason I have no debt. He works constantly and is unrelenting in pushing me for success. If I lost him, I’d be heartbroken and would lose my only hope of remaining in the middle class, but I wouldn’t cry so much anymore I think. 3. That question is too hard. Playing any game with my friends was my favorite. Good games, shitty games, it didn’t matter. All that matter was we were in it together. 4. Every single one before the summer of 2016. I spent them the same, with the same few friends. They are what keep my happy nowadays. If you mean a specific trip, I went with my two best friends to D.C. all of us on our own. We saw so many great places. I got to see Thomas Moran’s Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. I want to see it again some day. 4. The Iron Giant. It’s my favorite childhood film. I’m crying just thinking about it, especially since I always felt like I was the Giant. I still do. 5. I want to die. I’ve lost the ability to care about anything. I’ve lost my drive to excel, I’ve lost my anxiety of being a failure, I’ve lost my anger at the world. I simply don’t care. I had two term papers due today. I didn’t do either of them because it would have been hard and I don’t care. I don’t want to live like this. I want to die while I’m free.
Jayden Morales
Oh, that was pre-sourced so I can't take credit for that.
It sounds like you have a strong relationship with your parents. Have you considered that seeing yourself be successful is all the payback they want or need?
I'd be careful with how much importance you place on your relationships though. Or perhaps, with the way you do it. I tend not to credit my friends, family, or romances to the point of thinking I'd fail without them. But that doesn't make them any less meaningful. Perhaps it makes it a bit more rich in some ways.
Thank you, sincerely, for being a team player.
>martinis I'm more of a whiskey man.
>make your own adventures fam I certainly do. Sky diving, making movies, even my last two jobs were great adventures.

> If I lost it, I hope I won’t kill myself. I really think people don't think these things through too much. Almost everyone in this thread either says 'I don't know what I'd do if i lost X' or 'I might kill myself' (or something to that affect). People should seriously sit down and think a few minutes before answering. If everyone was one loss away from killing themselves, we'd all be dead.
>I’m crying just thinking about it, especially since I always felt like I was the Giant. I still do. Tell us about that.
>I want to die. I’ve lost the ability to care about anything. I’ve lost my drive to excel, I’ve lost my anxiety of being a failure that is pretty in contrast with what you discussed earlier.
>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that?
My gf. I've been deadset on an heroing for about a decade now, but I've been with her for almost that long. Anything I do to myself will destroy her. She's the only reason I'm alive. If she left me or died, I'd wait awhile out of respect, move across the country, and immediately kill myself. People will think I just moved away and lost touch with them.
>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another?
See first answer
>What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? Never played games with friends.
>Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up.
Never went on vacation.
>What is a film that has sentimental value to you?
I wasn't allowed to watch movies as a kid, and by the time I moved out, movies never became an interest. I'm a TV show guy all the way.
>What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Hard mode, not a girl/romantic interest.
To gf: I'm never going to amount to anything. I'm just biding my time until I die. We are 30 years old and you want kids, but I will never give you them, since dying is my top priority, and I won't do that to a child. That's why I haven't proposed in the ten years we've been together.
Hard mode: I don't have friends or family I speak to, so I don't have anyone to confide in.

To be fair, it's the most important thing in people's lives we're talking about, and Yea Forums is not a community of people with terribly good mental health.

>Dont get stuck in the whiskey river partner. What does that mean?
>Keep making them and i think it's more memorable with people you enjoy the company of. the people part is difficult. They keep slipping away lately.
>met some of the locals that weren't inbred and had a few drinks. Rude. The Chamorro are an awesome bunch.
>To be fair That isn't fair though. Most people lose the most important thing in their life several times over and don't kill themselves, especially since most people are listing a parent or a romantic interest as their most important thing, the two things almost every man will lose long before they die, many times when it comes to girls. It's not a mental health thing either, off this site you will get similar answers. It's a lack of self reflection in my opinion, and a lack of having their mettle tested.

Luis Ortiz
Yea, I can understand that. I’m not very consistent I guess. I feel like sometimes I’ll kill myself because slowly, over time, my reasons for not doing it change in a way that feel like they’re shrinking. I don’t think it’s illogical, I don’t fear what it will do to my love ones, I’m not afraid of death. But I have my freedom, I can choose what I want to do right here right now. So I think that I can procrastinate on the whole suicide thing while I enjoy that.
The Iron Giant shows a powerful creature struggle with understanding the world and identity. He follows his heart even though the world pushes him in other directions. When he finally understands that it’s his choice, that’s when he’s truly fulfilled. He sacrifices everything for others. I’ve wanted to do that my whole life. But there in lies my new problem.
That stark contrast. I can’t tell you why but it here now. I don’t care. I just don’t. I live hedonisticly because I don’t care. I enjoy what I want because I don’t care. I say what I want because I don’t care. All of my decisions are on a me basis now, everything else is secondary. Self-destruction is the name of the game and I’ve bought in. I don’t know why. I always wanted to be reliable and industrious and awe-inspiring, I wanted to be like my father. I still kinda do. But my hypocrisy is just too strong nowadays. I wish I had good reasons, but I just don’t.

>Chamorro No offense meant. Just that some keep their warrior ancestry in the family. The others were complete bros until some air force guts got drunk and they were already drunk and then a fight happened it was a blast! I loved it. I had stayed out of it, felt obligated to the air force because i was in the military also felt obligated to Lesuire he became my bro. So i just left and got on a plane to Texas the next day.

Lucas Perry
I definitely don't do that. Drinking is rather rare. Even when I do it 'a lot' it's just a gulp of whiskey each night to take the edge off before bed. I am definitely not a drinker. I'm more of an eat my feelings type.
>Yeah can be extremely tough bro, but they will come around. A little advice in return, platitudes serve no purpose. Silence is more meaningful.

I can't go into much detail on most of those. I never had a vacation or fun trip or anything like that as a kid. My summers were spent reading or playing the same handful of video games nonstop. I mathed it out, and I've beaten Sonic 3 and Knuckles thousands of times. I wasn't allowed to hang out with friends, so my summers were mundane. I would add more, but there's nothing of note to say.

Isaac Cruz
Death isn’t scary anymore. Pain is scary. If it was slow and painful and I had to think with a cocktail of chemicals rushing through me, dying would be scary.
But death? Stillness, silence, cold. I enjoy those things. Weightlessness, darkness, time slowing down. That sounds like sleeping and I like to do that. The end. No more conflicts, the climax has passed, the epilogue is over. You can only truly appreciate a story after it’s ended.
There’s no reason to fear death. It happens. In fact, it’s darn near guaranteed to happen. And at this point, it just seems calming.
Isaac Turner
>Death isn’t scary anymore. It's an easy thing to think when it isn't happening. Put yourself in an actual life or death situation, even without pain, then tell us your true colors.

The truth hurts but whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger nigger
You’re not listening anymore. Dying can, and often is, scary. You have everything happening to you at once, like a crescendo. But death? That moment of finality? It’s just that. Final. Not even an echo of dying remains. It’s simply death. That moment, that’s not scary.
Brody Howard
Sorry ill redo it except for that part when I get home
Sebastian Hernandez
You sound a lot like my friend and I don't want to invalidate your opinion, but sleep and death are different. Not to mention the fact that I can't imagine a painless death, brief rest and eternal severance from consciousness are very different. You can go to sleep reasonably expecting to awake. You can't say the same about death and in the moment you die you might start to feel anxious about the fact that you will never again see, hear, smell, touch, feel or think.
Zachary Russell
You're right.
Cameron James
These threads tend to be pretty calm. We almost always get people making poor gay 'jokes' early on, but once they realize no one here is responding to them we go about our business.
>What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Not true. Look at older people and they don't get stronger. Their damage is something that has weakened them. They know their worth, they know what they are capable of, but as you get older you spend more of your life working out how to protect yourself as opposed to face the darkness.
You're just being rather edgy and 2deep4you user.
Let him have his fun, he just wants to feel wise.
John Peterson
That’s why it’s the end. Your senses and thinking are all footnotes. But death is when you finally close the cover. It’s over. No more worries, no more reminiscing. No more pain, no more pleasure. Just peace.
There’s no point in being scared of it. Being dead won’t hurt you. It won’t deprive you of something that would make death different. It will be as it always will have been. Peace.
Jackson Ortiz
Im talking about strength of will, not physical strength. Will to power nigger
Yea, you’re right. It’s just hard to explain it without being metaphorical. I don’t want to be a prick about it or anything. It’s just how I came to justify that “death is scary” is not an appropriate refutation of suicide.
Carson Sanders
>Im talking about strength of will, not physical strength. So was I. Don't worry, you will understand when you are older. Your damage stays with you.
Nicholas Stewart
scary wasn't why we would refute it. The issue with us is that you talk about it from a rather pretentious place, not an artistic one.
Parker Taylor
Don't agree with that at all. Much as I trot around all day "joking" about wanting to die and hating life it is precious and I would never willingly give it up. I am deeply afraid of death and have been since the moment. I could comprehend it. There isn't much that I fear more than the thought of not being able to feel or think.
Brody Rivera
BUT THREES NOTHING TO FEAR? WHY BE USET ABOUT LOSING EVERYTHING IN LIFE IF YOU WONT HAVE IT WEN ITS GONE? BE DEEP BRO
Oh come on. I’m not trying to be pretentious. I’m not enlightened or whatever. These are my reasons. Take them or leave them. I’m not saying you guys don’t know what you’re talking about; I’m just thinking of it differently.
And that’s a natural fear, but only because that deprivation. Deprivation is scary because you think you’re missing out on something that is otherwise important. But death will be the same regardless, so you’re not gonna miss out on anything. No point in fearing it for its deprivation aspect.
Asher Lopez

>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? Probably my job. I started working there when I was 15 as a way to get away from my parents and keep my sanity from school. It's been a couple of years now and it's pretty much the only thing I look forward to. It would really suck if I had to quit because of school or something because I haven't not worked in such a long time, I don't know what I would do.
>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? My brother and sister. We've always stuck together and I don't think I could live without them.

Michael Adams
You think people with strong wills have easy lives?
Life is a struggle. No avoiding it. Overcoming challenges and wrestling your inner demons is a struggle. Most are too afriad to face them.
But if you come out on top, you gain confidence in your ability to handle seemingly insurmountable challenges. The greater the challenge, the greater the glory.
Individuals who carry baggage throughout their life are too terrified to confront their inner demons. The weight gets greater until they cant carry on any longer.
By not trying, humans are a waste of potential. Look around you, people have achieved absolutely amazing things. You never know what you can achieve if you just try.
>But if you come out on top, you gain confidence in your ability to handle seemingly insurmountable challenges. The greater the challenge, the greater the glory. you speak like a man who hasn't been tested.
>By not saying, humans are a waste of potential I'm not saying they don't try. I'm saying that just because you survive something doesn't mean you're going to be stronger. You'll know your worth, and that is a good thing. But it damages you. Your well can run dry.
Juan Anderson
Okay, that’s fair. I can do that. But before I do, what was the main problem with my ideas on death? Why should I be afraid of it itself? I don’t want to drag it on because I know what you said, but I’ll need to know to follow your advice.

>>What is the most important thing you have in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost that? I got a new cat, someone threw her into the streets, she was like 1 and a half month old, now its 6 months old, she is a sweetheart. If I lost that cat I would cry alot.
>>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? See answer one.
>>What was your favorite video game to play with friends growing up? I only played singleplayer games until, I don't know, 18 years old maybe. Didn't have friends to play when I was growing.
>>Tell us about the best summer vacation you had growing up. I never went anywhere on vacation, I'm 27 and the last time I went to vacation (in general, not only summer) was when I was 13 years old, was on a beach in Brazil but I just stayed on a cybercafe 24/7 playing cs1.6 with local kids.
>>What is a film that has sentimental value to you? Many, but there is a movie that ended up making me tear when I didn't expect it, believe it or not, the movie was: The World's End (2013) I felt the character of Gary King too similar to me in some aspects.
>>What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Hard mode, not a girl/romantic interest. I'd like to say to my father that he isn't a man, just a coward.

In the broad scheme of 'when the time comes' your advice makes sense, though anyone who has dealt with the reality of death will know that it's just idealist philosophy. What you are suggesting is that suicide is no big deal, it's just not super duper convenient right now because girlfriend basically.
John Garcia
1.) My dog. He's my only real friend. Everyone else just kinda disappeared and dont speak to me anymore because I'm awkward and unstable. I honestly dont know what I would do if he suddenly died. Scares the shit out of me to think about it. 2.) Don't know, hits me in the feels to consider it. Friends used to be like my brothers. Fuck em. 3.) Loved playing DBZ Budokai with my older brother we were both into anime. Really though spent most of my time playing rpgs by myself. 4.) Back in high school me and friends would smoke tons of pot and crash parties. Was great while it lasted. 5.) Gonna sound cliche but Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Brought tears to my eyes as a kid. 6.) Ive been lying to my Dad for years about getting my life together. He actually thinks I'm holding down a good job. Eating me up inside bad. Really I'm depressed and anxious to even go out the door. Only reason I get out is to walk my dog to the park down the street a few times a day or to buy pot if I'm not broke.
Sorry for the sob story but just being honest. I'm a hardcore fuck up.

>You need to realize youre not the star of the show and while everyone else is not just a bunch of extras No, u.
Connor Edwards
it literally hasn't occurred to you that everyone struggles
The best thing in my experience is just saying 'I don't know what to say'. It is validating. when you give advice, particularly platitudes, it just makes the grieving person feel like that they are a failure and everyone else will handle the situation better because of the platitude. All sad people need, in my experience, is someone to rant or cry to and the validation that what they are going through is rough and not just going to simply pass.
You need to realize people can disagree with you, intensely. You gave shitty 'advice', were not going to jerk you off for it. you certain;ly arent the star of the show either.

Thanks man. I've never really had to deal with grieving people before, so your advice is much appreciated.
It's getting close to 3 AM, but I had a good time tonight hanging out with y'all. Goodnight friends.
Luis Powell
I don’t know how the idealistic part matters when it’s your death, but I hear you. Okay. And I’m not downplaying suicide, even earlier you can see where I really don’t want to kill myself. I’m just afraid I’m running out of reasons not to, that’s all.
I’m sorry for stretching out the discussion. It was fun to think about. Thanks anyway.
Christopher Wilson
Wow, he's right, you are immature. You put forth a faux-philosophical belief and as soon as someone disagrees with you suddenly it's an attack on his supposed egotism.
Alexander Robinson
Not him, but yes, I'm aware everyone struggles, but you in particular sound like you haven't hit the real struggles yet, at least not in the regard we are talking about. The inverse could be said if I'm wrong, has it occured to you that what doesn't kill you may not make EVERYONE stronger, ergo, you're still wrong?
Julian Rogers
>I really don’t want to kill myself It seemed like something you were harping on, hence why the other user and I got annoyed. The idea that death is nothing to fear is just really easy to say when you haven't been faced with death.
>I'm just afraid I'm running out of reasons not to Suicide isn't something you avoid because of reasons not to. Suicide is something you do when you actively have a reason to. Even when you run out of reasons to live, that doesn't mean you die. It just means your reason becomes looking for what to do next.
There's nothing wrong with the discussion as a whole, I may have been a bit blunt with my feelings, it just felt very circular at first and a bit edgy for my tastes.
I lost my most important person a year ago so I have a bit of experience on what it's like to be the griever and a list of things that just made things worse essentially. I'm always surprised hwen people talk up the idea of telling someones 'its going to be okay'. Maybe I am just jaded, but I like to hear the truth: that it may not be okay. He's gone, its permanent. Life can go on, life can be happy, but its no guarantee, and telling someone 'it will be okay' is like saying 'stop being sad, this won't matter'.
When someone dies, it does matter. for many people, nothing will ever matter more. I'm not saying they should give up on life, on the contrary I think that is the time when you need to pus through. That doesn't make it insignificant and it doesn't mean things are ever going to be okay in that regard. Particularly when someone loses a child. Expecting someone to ever really go back to normal after that is just upsetting.
Have a good night user.
Brody Jenkins
>it seemed like it I didn’t mean for it to be like that. In my first post, I said that I feel like I want to die, but I don’t think suicide is an answer worth considering. Things just don’t seem so good right now is all, looking to get worse, and I’d rather just have things end on a high note, for some reason.
Your ideas are optimistic, which is nice. I see life a lot differently since everything up to now has been so competitive, but it’s a good idea nonetheless.
But I’d rather not talk about it anymore. This turned out worse than I thought so I’d rather leave it patched up on that. I’m headed to bed, so have a good night.

She just drank the koolaid.
Levi Myers
>I want to have a child so bad, I want to raise them without making the mistakes my parents made
ROFLMAO.
Good luck with that. Actually it's not that difficult.
The problem being, you'll make completely different ones that you don't even see coming until it's way too late.
But you can probably make it all turn out okay in the end.
>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another?
That would be a tie between my twin baby nieces and my best friend, both for different reasons of course. My sister and I still live with our parents so I see them every day. They're the one thing keeping me going right now. They're so beautiful and sweet, and playing with them and talking with them gives me a sense of purpose. If I feel like giving up, I think of them. I love my nieces more than anything else in the world.
Last year was my last year of high school and I spent it at a new school and I hated everybody there. She was the only person I knew in real life that was my age that I talked to, and after graduating she is keeping me company during my gap year. She is one of my favorite people. She's so lovely and she has a great sense of humor. Without her, I would feel so lonely.
>What is something you wish you could tell someone right now, but feel that you can't? Hard mode, not a girl/romantic interest.
I wish I could tell just about anybody anything. I have never been able to open up to people close to me in real life. Not friends, not family. I have had therapists with whom I've shared a lot about myself but the relationship is so impersonal that it's not the same. I feel like I have so much emotion and unspoken problems welling up inside me and I need to let it out on someone, but I just don't feel comfortable. Not even with my best friend.
Ayden Wood
>WHO is the most important person in your life right now? Why is that? What would happen if you lost them in one way or another? >Honestly no one.
Do you mean there's no one in your life at all or is there no one that you would consider the most important? You have some good friends? You close with family? You get along with folks at work?
Lincoln Collins
I don't consider people important. Sure I have friends, acquaintances, family. Maybe it is a side effect of moving so much when I was younger, but I never really form close emotional bonds with people. Everyone is, well, temporary at best. Life goes on.
But yes, I have good friends, relatively close with a few members of family, work is well. Work. That is always a game of social engineering at best.
Wyatt Richardson
Reasonable enough. I'm a huge softie on the inside and I care about my friends more than anything else. Without close friends I don't think I could function. I'm the opposite with family though, I only care for my siblings and my nieces as I already mentioned. The rest I'm not at all close with. I've been told I'm difficult to dislike. so that gives me an advantage in a lot of aspects of life.
