It's a mind-body thing. Knowing that it isn't "real" in a physical sense doesn't relieve it in any way. It works the same way as what effects hypochondriacs.

Yeah, but even then the brick wall isn't a permanent thing. I guess time is the only thing that really brings you out of it.

Yeah, it seems like you don't like appearing vulnerable in front of others. I don't either really, so I usually internalize it but I guess I have a good poker face. Even people on MH have come to me and reminded me I'm being antisocial ...as long as I have people to remind me I guess it sort of pulls me out of it, knowing there are people who give a shit, even if it's just a tiny bit.

I can see how that's true. The imagination is a great and terrible thing. I confess that even with how shitty it can be, it's totally worth it.

It usually just takes me a little while to remind myself that all you need to do it climb over the wall or just walk around it. Unfortunately, I tend to gravitate towards the latter of the two.

I hateeee being vulnerable. Or maybe I just hate talking about my feelings out loud. It's just so awkward. No matter who it is. Plus, I don't want it to seem like all I do is complain. It's not any use to have people constantly fussing over you. Annoying really.

GARY I GIVE A HUGE MOFOING SHIT OVER YOU, KAY?

Was it because you had onion breath?

Nope, just vodka breath.

Yeah, it's the old saying that humans are life's greatest achievement, but our brains have become so evolved that we actually have to be happy, every other animal just eats/shits/screws and seems to get along peachy I WANNA BE A RABBIT!

Avoidance ftw

The person you'd be vulnerable with is supposed to not care about how you come off...or slap you around for being annoying. It sounds simpler than it is though... YOU HAVE A DIAMOND SUIT OF ARMOR!



Well...thanks, but it's obvee ..........so answer my PM tomorrow or something

B-b-but...that can be good

She must not have come to terms with her gayness well

 

[Naomi]

You just said obvee....

For that, I might wait until the day after tomorrow to answer our PM.

 

[M3J]

Pfft Gary, I give more than a tiny shit. I don't kid when I refer to you as older brother or whatnot. I rib around with you because I feel comfortable with you, so yeah, like, I give a shit 'bout you too, hairy gray bear. <3 You probably knew this though, broseph.


I confess I also hate being vulnerable, and that I've gotten used to and prefer bottling stuff up. Had no one to talk to,and to be honest, it's better this way. Sometimes though, I confess I did have someone who was intelligent and blunt to talk to since it could help me mak ebetter choices.

I confess I seriously hate being vulnerable, for egotistical reasons and gender role reasons (males are not supposed to be vulnerable).


Naom, it's okay to complain as long as the person doesn't mind. Gary doesn't mind, and I don't either. Gary's a cool psychiatrist.

Obvee isn't cool?!

That she did not.

When she remembered the next morning her face. Oh god her face. XDDDD --------->

We were sitting on the bed and the Italian guy kept saying "you make? you make?" to us. I was like "huh?"

And all of the sudden Heather says "ohhhhhhhhhhh!" grabs my shoulders, and plants a big one smack dab on my lips. I was really too shocked to do anything at first, and then her hands started to wonder. @________@;;;;

Heather's gorgeous, so I can't really complain though. Though I felt mildly violated.

...stop being serious, it's weird

And no more hairy......gray?!...oh come on

Gender roles are a cop-out. Granted, I don't prance around the street with my feelings displayed on a signboard, but acting like you don't have feelings is silly. I guess it comes with growing up though, I don't know. Maybe I'm just a pussy



I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm just a know-it-all

I'd rather be weird and serious and let friends know I'm there for htem than risk them doing something stupid. Plus, I'll have plenty of time to not be serious in NYC on NYE.

GRAY GARY SO OLD AND HAIRY!

No, being vulnerable is the problem. Though honestly, I don't see anything bad about men crying. Weird? Anyway, part of vulnerability I try to avoid is confiding to people, especially since I feel too selfish doing so.


So am I. I just can't remember it all. D: You probably use notes.

 

[Naomi]

I confess that gender roles bug the shit out of me.

So you act the role of the jester...that's pretty obvious though.

No notes...much too lazy for that, pretty obvee-I mean yeah

I don't mind at all when guys cry. I think it's really sweet actually. I think it's actually pretty attractive if I've seen a guy cry. It's strange for me though, since the only man in my immediate family is my dad and I've only seen him cry twice. Sadly, I don't know how to deal with a guy crying in front of me. Kissing him usually helps though.

Not just that. I think that it would be terribly boring if the roles didn't switch every once in a while, you know? Gotta have it all. Who the hell would want to be dominant all the time? And vise versa. I don't like it when guys are like "you're a girl, so you should be able to cook" or "you're a guy, so you should know how to change the oil, change a tire, and fix everything that gets broken". It's just stupid and primitive.

 

[M3J]

Jester/immature is to make people feel more comfortable around me and to make people not think as highly of me so that way, I dont' have to conform to any expectations. I hate it when people expect stuff from me, because I'm scared of disappointing them. Funnily enough, in areas like school, if I applied myself, I'd actually meet people's expectations of me passing with high GPA. :\ genius wasted, oh well.

Obvee? you a freakin' 9-year old girl? Speak proper English, you gray bear.


I confess I agree with Naom, I don't like the whole gender role thing either. I confess I think it's a part of ego thing.



I confess I need to start packin for NYC. Which Gary needs to join.

Yeah...I don't think I'm ashamed to cry in front of others, but it's just not a thing I do often.

Kissing him? Wouldn't your onion-vodka breath make him cry more?!

You've kissed your dad to know this for sure?

I cry at sob stories, like in Naruto, OP, or even when Harry Potter ended. X_x

 

[Naomi]

Wasn't drunk that night. It was in his car. It was the first time I ever saw him cry, so I panicked and didn't know what to do. So I just attacked his face Poor guy... He probably wanted to talk instead of that, but he seemed to be cheered up all the same. If I ever attack your face when you're actually wanting to talk, u guise, just lemme know.

Yeah, it's hard to figure out. Makes me wonder what's different when a guy is a stay-at-home parent and the woman works.

Mostly recycled ideas from past generations, stigma. I think men's self-worth a lot of times is attached to a sense of accomplishment. That they are useful...that's not really "dominant" though.

I can do both those things.......I'm a hermaphrodite

No, not a nine year old girl......just a dork

I confess that I might make an appearance

I almost shunned you for life for that dad comment. *queesy feeling*

But your Harry Potter comment just earned you enough points to dig you out of the hole.

Nice save

So it's like a involuntary reaction? Muscle memory?

I just think it's an incredibly exciting way to shut someone up...skirt the issue

It probably is.

One time I was really mean to this guy who was trying to talk to me at a party. He kept saying things and I literally got to the point where I said "Goddd, shut the hell up. Just kiss me and shut up. Do you ever stop talking?"

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I confess that Nii-chan's right! I'm a huge butch! Hahahah
