>>only thing I have any talent at all in is something I'm still abysmal at
>>remaining abysmal at it, no matter how much I practice or look up reference or study

I am a very passive person, but it's times like this where I want to just slowly and messily kill myself. I just don't see myself being able to successfully have a future in anything. Every time I want to do something, even to try it out, I get this huge, long lecture of "Sweetie, you would just fail miserably at that and everyone would be mad at you again! Just stop. Don't even try."

>>380728
I may have my own hang ups preventing me from getting anywhere in life but I could never see telling someone else that my problems are reasons not to follow their dreams. What kind of fuck would tell you that you can't follow your dreams?

>>380729

hi

>>380729
My dad, in some respects my mom and my siblings, and my former art professors. I always drew a lot as a kid, and I always preferred cartoons, so I figured I'd go into animation. My teachers always complained that my art was cartoony, and the anatomy looks off no matter how many real people and photographs I reference. I decided to change majors, and between my last one and my current one, my parents just seem really uninterested and disapproving of both. They don't really look at what I draw, and my siblings have flat-out told me I'm bad.

I was always pushing myself so into art and discouraged to try other things that I don't even know if I can do anything else.

>>380730
there's a difference between the limits of the rational world and actually sitting someone down and saying "don't fucking try". Some of the best humanity has ever created came because someone tried something thought impossible. I may doubt and I may think there are other issues. But you don't sit anyone down and say "don't fucking try". It's a worthless suggestion.

>>380729
>What kind of fuck would tell you that you can't follow your dreams?
An honest one?

Read his post dude
>remaining abysmal at it, no matter how much I practice or look up reference or study
At that point saying "stop, just fucking stop" is absolutely the right thing to do, if you care about someone you don't let them follow an obsession into spiraling self destruction.

>>380733
But how do you know when someone's opinion is valid, and when they're not just being a douche? What if they just belittle everyone all the time, and nothing is up to their standards?

i will not have my loyalty or strength questioned by anyone, especially not the person i'm most loyal to, after i fought against myself for my life to become a better person.

nightwing. chicago. going solo for now. etc. (i'm not really going to chicago, obvi.

>>380733
No, re-read the first post, "anytime I even try something". And with the second post, even if the art is "bad", why doesn't the person just draw what they want? It's nice to make money off what you but to love it that means you have to love doing it. If everybody tells you what you're doing is shit repeatedly, and this is like the one thing you've ever wanted to do, why not do what you want? They can say something about what you do, but only so much. And they obviously don't care for it, so what the fuck would they know?

Doing other stuff is all well and good but usually it takes time and if you're not really into it anyway, it'll be abysmal for you. And the thing is, even if this person wants to do something else, all they're getting is "no you're a failure". Which is fucking horseshit, especially from your own goddamn family when you're trying to do something that might make you less of a "failure" in their eyes.

Can't go anywhere if all they're doing is beating you down anyways. Might be time to stop listening to the guards.

I really want to make a light breakfast for me and my girlfriend and then curl up under my covers with her and just doze and cuddle for like 12 hours.
But she's like 2000 miles away.
This bites.

>>380739
Why am I not surprised.

maybe it's the alcohol talking but for the first time i think i understand what it means to actually love oneself.

we're always looking for things to complete us... things to fill the gaps... to give us a sense of security... to affirm us in the hard times. we're already equipped to do that for ourselves. why does it have to come from outside? why struggle to make someone else fit a hole they were not meant to fill?

we are already complete if and when we choose to give compassion to ourselves. to listen and accept without judgment. to hold with kindness. to let our inner light glow brightly and love it for its own beauty.

have an unrelated image as i complete my meditation.

So glad I got back into doing pixel art. Feels good to create stuff again, such as this WIP for a sprite I'm doing for someone over on FurAffinity.

Loving yourself is always obvious. Unconditional love is always supportive and compassionate, even with flawed individuals.

There is nothing you need that isn't inside you already. Except maybe penicillin or insulin or whatever.

My dog chewed up my phone, it still works, but the screen is ruined! Besides replacing it, what can I do!?

>>380776
If it's under warranty, I'm sure you can get it replaced, or at least they might send you a new one.

Well I'm not sure if it's covered, besides I have precious data on it. Is there a way then, for me to extract the data, other than through my SD card? And by "data" I mean texts, and contacts.

>>380778
http://www.ehow.com/how_7429414_transfer-messages-mobile-new-one.html

Of course, this is dependent on the model of phone you have. Contacts can usually be stored to an SD card but texts not so much, as they live in the cloud with local copies on your phone. You can try one of the text and contact backup services listed in the above article, or go into the store and see if there's a data cable that they can transfer the info with.

If there isn't, replacing the screen on a cellphone is a delicate procedure that requires some technical know-how, and, more importantly, some knowledge of Korean so that you can order the part factory direct. Most times it's better to get the phone replaced and try and do the data back-up somehow if you're under warranty.

Dusted off an old HDD. Going down memory lane with old silly internet pictures is kinda pathetic I guess, but goddamn some sweet nostalgic laughs were had.

if you like the office you should watch the thick of it if you haven't already. malcolm tucker is my actual spirit animal. also it very accurately and succinctly portrays the ins and outs of british politics.

shut up it's hot I will kick you in the face

I've decided that it's in my best interests to stop applying myself towards improving my status in life. Don't see the point.

Instead, I'll just wake up, go to work, come home, play TF2 for three hours, and repeat for five days a week. Saturday is nine hours of TF2. Sunday is volunteering at the cat shelter.

And that will be that until some external force makes a change for me. La de da.

Don't blame us cause you like being cold, the most terrible thing in the universe.

Hot is worse than cold.

If its cold its easy to put on a jacket.

If its hot there is not much you can take off before people call the police.

Cold is literally one of the worst states of being.

Ugh. Yeah, you can put on a jacket or three or climb under a mountain of blankets but you're immobile and stuck inside. Sure, with heat, you can only strip down to your birthday suit, but it's still far easier to stay cool in the heat than hot in the cold.

>>380799

Strip down to your birthday suit...at work and/or school? Or outside?

>>380796
>>ahurrblerrblarr all you need is a jacket!
No, that's 'cool'. If you don't have to worry about your uncovered skin being actually damaged by the air itself it isn't 'cold' yet. Sweaty clothing is easier to deal with than the inside of my body having it's heat stolen every time I breath.

reserved people who eat baked beans and drink a little too much noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Stopped hanging out with a dude I was really close with a few years ago due to him being a human trainwreck.

Haven't seen him in person in like four years, haven't talked to him in a little less than that. Other than every few months with one or two word replies when he's bored or he messages me about some new girl he's fucked.

Just now he asked me on facebook asking if I have any interest in being friends with him any longer. He's not a bad person, so I don't want to be a cunt. Don't know what to tell him besides "Not if you're still a complete loser with no sense of propriety who has a streak of sticking his dick in crazy." But that sounds a mite harsh. :|

>>380809
Add a smiley and/or heart symbol to it. He'll think it's just a friendly jab.

taking a break from tumblr. gonna be posting like a fucktard here more i suppose. that's how kinetics works. it's probably for the better. this place is glacial. less reason to refresh and waste my life.

i'm so sorry.

Kaiser fucked up my eye exam I can't see shit

I think one of the reasons I hate you guys so much is that seeing people with really active social lives and tons of friends but no sense of basic social skills, interpersonal diplomacy, or basic human empathy. My social circle is some King's Landing shit where everyone hates each other secretly and has a deep dark past and I have to write up flow charts just to make sure that outings don't erupt into fights or tears or nobody gets raped and you guys are all "shit man this guy keeps IMing me about Minecraft and the girl I like doesn't like the Aquabats what do i do" and THIS GETS ME SO MAD OH MY GOD. Conversely, I'd like to thank all the people here who's live are legitimately self destructing right now. You really make me feel welcomed.

As of right now, I'm trying to figure out how to make more friends, and what it is that I'm doing to attract these people to begin with.

>>380820

>y social circle is some King's Landing shit where everyone hates each other secretly and has a deep dark past and I have to write up flow charts just to make sure that outings don't erupt into fights or tears or nobody gets raped

You say that like that isn't every group of friends.

>>380821
Then why the fuck have you people been telling me to go outside if it's so terrible? Is this some sort of sick joke?

>>380822

Dude I was telling you to go to class and get work experience. The whole social life thing is a bust, I never encourage people to go beyond their own baselines with that.

KILL HER

New week, new month!
And thank goodness it's over, got rotavirus in wednesday and felt like shit until saturday afternoon. Thankfully, that didn't prevented me from going to the Varekai show of the Cirque du Soleil, hanging out with a friend (not planed, but ended well) and going to my grandfather's 90th birthday.

man i am so fuckin cute today omg i am wasted on this god forsaken town

I act nice to someone, they come across a picture of me online, and suddenly they go from decent people with a few things in common with me to absolute leeches, and it's unnerving.

I'm on hiatus with the person I was dating, and I've told people as much as "I like someone right now, it's kind of hard to like anyone else". But they get super offended, take it personally, or assume I can't actually be with someone, or that it's a competition where they can somehow win me, and it really pisses me off.

>>380837
Men and women can't be friends. Only women think that and it pisses men off. So really, the annoyance goes both ways.

>>380836
i know
>>380819
jesus fucking christ nin-tiri. also, fuck kaiser. they've botched more things in my family health care than cancer.

>>380838
No, it's entirely possible. It's just a few select guys who think being nice is a means to sex, and a relationship can't work if one party is being genuinely nice, and the other isn't.

>>380838
I think it's plausible, but the connection has to be made through some mutual interest rather than just personality.

However, even if it's intended as a platonic friendship by both sides, the chances for hanky-panky will increase over time. And, if both sides have a significant other, there will be jealousy/worry that it's more than a friendship.

So, in the end, the whole thing might be more trouble than it's worth. But I have no friends of either sex, so I'm not an expert on these kind of things.

>>380838
Horseshit. If you treat people like disposable commodities you won't have any friends, let alone female friends.

>>380843
I think with me, it was a decision entirely on their side that because I was a girl, and because we had some things in common, that all girls must like guys, and that I'd at some point have sex with them, while I've had other friends who were guys, and the discussion to date never came up, or it came up and we both decided we didn't want to date each other. I prefer it to evolve naturally, to not expect anything at first, until it starts feeling that way on both sides. With me especially, I'm not a very sexual person period, so expecting me to put out easily or at all is asking too much, I'm sorry.

And you have us, dude. We're your friends.

YOU SEE? THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. BEING FRIENDS WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX? TURNING PEOPLE DOWN? THIS IS SHIT YOU LEARN IN THE 7TH GRADE, PEOPLE.

>>380846

In seventh grade people only talked to me to tell me how fat and not white I was.

>>380845
>And you have us, dude. We're your friends.
Thanks.

>>380846
>implying I could somehow into social in 7th
Never change, Moe.

>Men and women can't be friends. Only women think that and it pisses men off.
Truth.

Or rather we can be friends but the men will still have sexual fantasies about the women.

>>380846
In 7th grade I lived in a house that my great-uncle had built(?) and lived in until he died, miles away from anyone even remotely close to my age, and was homeschooled.
I'm just making all this "social behavior" shit up as I go, I didn't get any practice from age 8 onwards.

Oh neat, the spambot got me banned too. Guess I'll come back to this tab in an hour.

I need to shit real bad, but the toilet seat is still caked in crusted period blood. I'm farting a symphony over here. Why are female roomates so disgusting?
