@Annomander, anything would be preferable to the previous page.

For some reason, people posting stuff like that on public message boards really bothers me. I can't really explain why. It just does.

because it's tasteless? 

 

No it's not that it's tasteless... it's hard to explain.

I just do not like to make a big deal out of my problems, and do not like sharing them with others, particularly random people I've never met and never will meet. I guess it just makes it a bit hard to take seriously when people are so open with complete strangers about stuff they claim is super important to them. 

That makes my more cynical side (do I have another side?) doubt their sincerity, or wonder how much it truly does matter to them, which, in turn makes ME feel like a terrible person for always assuming the worst of people, when they're probably totally sincere.

STOP MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A TERRIBLE PERSON, GUISE.  

P.S. I hope I don't come off as uncaring or heartless or whatever. That's not my intention. 

I completely understand where you're coming from, and I feel similarly, to a certain extent. My problem is that I never want to open up to anyone, and as a result I have very few "true" friends. I have a lot of people that I hang out with and such, but I don't really have someone that I have a deep level of trust in that I feel I can confide in.

So when I see some people being very open online with their problems the part of me that's a jerk kind of dismisses what they're saying, but then in the rational part of my mind I'm truly just jealous that they have the courage to be open about so many things that I would have a hard time talking about.

I'm not directing this at anyone, I'm just saying how I feel.

Are you perhaps an introvert? 

Either way- it is ok if both of you feel the way you do. It's natural. I hate to be all Queen Obvious here- but we're individuals with our individual backgrounds and personalities. 


What I find interesting about Lord Sirians comments is the pov about "internet friends". I actually have people that I've met online in different groups added to my RL facebook- we've been friends for years and truly appreciate each other. It just depends on whether you can find a connection if at all, if you're willing, if you can nurture it, or even care.

I'm very much an introvert, so that plays a part in it.

And as I said, I only feel negatively at my gut reaction, then I have to temper that feeling with understanding of their situation as well as my own.

I will say that I have a hard time finding good connections with people online. And the dumbest part about it is that I have no one to blame but myself. It's not that I don't meet people online that I have fun with and could be friends with, it's just my reluctance to put myself out there and actually be myself in front of anyone that's the root of my problem...

Anyway I should stop playing Dr. Phil with myself and let the thread proceed as normal.

Is there anyone on these boards who is not an introvert?  

In general I am very introverted and very mistrustful. 

As for internet friends, yes you can have proper friendships with people you know online, but that's just the point, this is a public message board. If I trust an online friend enough to tell them something that is important to me, I do so in private. Not on a public board where everyone and their dog can see.

"Oh, youngling, you will learn when you are my age..."

How was that for a Stardusk impression? I need to work on my enunciation, I know...

First the criticism: _only1biggs_: You are lowering the tone of this thread. It is you that is tasteless.

Now for the serious part: Sirian, we heal in different ways. Coming out like that on a public message board is strange for me as well, but I appreciate the courage for the exact reasons you listed. I will not go into my philosophy of life, but I would definitely prefer a world, where people are willing and brave enough to be honest.

I recommend you (this means everyone, actually) read "Misery" by Chekhov. Kenneth Branagh reading it out can be found here. Shorter than the average gold game...

 While sad that those things happened to you, it's also encouraging to read stories like DragonRacer and Lathrim's (so thank you for sharing from some random person you don't know ).  Remember that while it's only a video game, you do occasionally get the chance to impact someone's life.  I've made a number of friends over the years in video games (starting back in Everquest) that have lasted through the years.  Two of my closest friends are from the internet.  One of which I haven't actually met yet in real life.  They helped me get through some of the darkest years of my life and still do.  

While playing Rift I had the chance to help two friends of mine fall in love.  He left his job in the U.S. and flew to Australia to be together.  They are very happily married atm.  

It's also cool to hear the stuff Bioware did for you.  Kudos to them.  

While the internet is full of trolls, angry kids, people who just want to abuse others...there are also other people out there.  The genuine, kind, honest people who will make a big impact on your life.  You just have to look harder to find them, and when you do, don't let them go.

Sirian - You explained yourself a bit more tactfully there. I think know what you mean, i.e. wanting attention rather than pure sincerity. I personally don't share anything too personal on a public forums as I'd be opening myself up to trolling. I would say tho that while they are total strangers to you, there's a LOT of bsners who have been posting here & playing together for months, so we actually know DR & Lathrim quite well.

Basically, you may doubt a persons motives, but even if you feel it itmight be Too Much Info - it's prob better not to criticise. If you don't know what the situation is, it's better to give ppl the benefit of the doubt.

(And now I'm going to bed...night all)

who is this twinkles possum um i mean person

LOL Oh I'd guess there are least 2 extroverts on the internet. A whole glorious 2! I'm an introvert myself. 




And for any women in here: this game is hard on my manicure. I'm not even joking. I wash dishes constantly and change diapers etc as a mom- but this game- its the worst for nailpolish 

And I have insomnia so I'm going to get my game on now...

So I'll just be referring to you as my Miranda from now on.

Except male.

We can keep the butt shots, however.

I have a nice butt apparently, but you're not getting any pics of it.
