hi. I'm making this thread to serve as a permanent housing of all the wild and quizzical things I think about on a semi-daily basis.

I'm short, I will post a question and if you want to debate about it or converse respectfully about it we can!

Uh... Yeah. That's all. (I feel like I'm giving a PSA at a lectern or something.)


Today's question!

What’s your favorite strategy for avoiding tough situations?
keremaru
very toxic (do not do this)

i deal with them as they come until i can't anymore
sametdze
seperate myself as much as possible
Wimpy Cursed
Think about the situation differently. If no other option is available, I will just deal with it
lostsilver
if its like a situation that goes into an argument, i will not involve myself. however, if the situation doesn't escalate, i try to deal with it in any way possible

just me tho

I also do that, wouldnt say toxic, stress is good for you

(when I cant anymore I'll just take some time for myself, usually a day and then go back to it)

personally, I self isolate as fast as possible and ignore the situation. it's not there if I can't see it

The coward approach, I do that too. Although I tend to avoid putting myself in tough situations in the first place and when I do I try to face them before it gets worse, doesn't always work.

i have no idea. excluding myself, arguably the most consequence will be likeliest to come from the people that raise you at your earliest-rememberable years or accompany you for the longest amount of time, OR are the people that embrace and understand and guide you most through both the most mundane times as well as the most defining or significantly complicated crucial periods of your life

my parents have raised me in ways that have enabled/nurtured/contextualized a very complicated set of different characteristics, both moderately benign/functional and severely maladaptive/compensatory. they are complicated people who do complicated and often times very damaging things just as much as they may preserve/sustain you

specific friends have been enriching sources of my introspection after understanding my relationships with them and have been causes for very deeply-set impressions of how i interact with people and which people i can feasibly interact with, among many many other subjects to think about

there are artists and musicians and game developers who create works that deeply characterize and nurture pr grant catharsis to specific parts of humanity i want to see more of-- their fandoms often being a shaping factor in who i am and how i view people as well

i don't think i can narrow down a person in this question. it may need to be more specific, or different questions need to be asked in order better characterize the many ways people have significantly influenced me

I try and avoid those situations as much as possible but when it comes down to it I try and deal with it properly.

I have had a lot of people who influenced me, but my family influenced me the most, both in good and bad ways.

Cannot think on just one tbh.

i think I am the most influential person in my life. i've learned most of stuff by myself.
But of course, my family have also influenced me a lot.

I have noticed today’s question did not reach as deep as I would’ve like it to. Tomorrow and days moving forward these questions will be significantly more guiding towards a grand discussion/debate.


As to answer the question myself?

I have no firetrucking idea. This question is so mundane. Stupid job interview ahh question.

today’s question: what’s your best friend like?

my best friend actually got me into osu some 8-10 years ago. he showed me what a furry was and we regularly 1v1d in super smash bros ultimate on the 3DS. we had similar home lives and bonded almost over everything. its been a while and i suck at keeping contact with him, miss ya Jake.

Similar to me. Less obnoxious and more grounded. Doesn't speak unless they really have something to say. I respect him a lot for that.

The dude was someone that was able to listen to whatever stupidity I could tell him and was there whenever I needed to share my feelings. Really appreciate him :3

I don't have any friends now, but I had a friend from 5 years ago to 4 years ago, I used to play Halo 3 and 4 a lot with him (I always lost, I only won twice). Before that, I had two more friends, but it's been a long time and I don't even remember anything about them (for some reason my memory is very bad).

Idk he's changed a lot in recent years and we only talk once every few months now.
Fun times we had though, maybe we'll have more time to see each other when we both get settled.

alienation and isolation are generally agreed to be negatively correlated with brain health :(, but also from personal experience, i believe it

i think the habit of disaffected irony and detached callousness about it doesn't often help as universally as it seems to be applied with other people by observers and themselves. it's not that some people wouldn't happen to actually be perfectly ok with this and having space and time to do what they want independently, but

as often as that's true, it seems like this compulsory obligatory thing in almost any given part of culture, unless you're exposed to places where this isn't the norm... that compulsion/obligation of coming to terms with being alone, where it doesn't really allow anyone to thrive/grow/change at all, it just enables/sustains an inert type of dry and dull loneliness that gets vaguely normalized over time. it can be subtle enough to not be noticed all the time, but it may be easier to realize simply through looking at how habits form and how much more instinctive it seems to retreat or not bother interacting with other people, especially in conditions of moderate distrust and a certain weariness of connection not being worth the effort

i would like to think that being sincere and caring would be nice, but it just does not have a universal or uniform effect. so it's hard to say what would make this better for people

I don't have one best friend in particuliar, just a friend group where you can talk about anything, and it works pretty well like this

The rare time when I used to have a real besties in real life, it didn't always end well in the sense that we had to split up because of life. They were sweet of course, we need to move forward so I guess we're just strangers now. Fortunately, I managed found the right people during my time in middleschool, and we still talk to each other to this day

I learned that surrounding yourself with caring friends is way more important and necessary than having one single person that you can rely on

mm... that's really sweet :')

really, i don't know who i would consider to truly be my best friend. i do remember maybe five or six people in my life that i would call good friends, but they were all at different times and everything is so... disconnected, and lost to circumstance

i could try to describe a couple of them sometime, but i'm not really totally all-there right now, everything is super fuzzy

i think i find this to be a really healthy conclusion, it's not always true because of the way situations can be really specific and complicated but... i've always wished for this

a group of friends to be safe with, rather than solely an isolated personal friendship. i think i like both, actually, but it can really depend on who each person would be for me

i have and keep multiple individual friends, isolated to specific things like shared interests in fanfic or in music, or maybe because someone adopted me into their group where i was the pet introvert of a couple people i trusted and grew with

but i never found community with my friendships...

he's my brother

although he's not entirely like me in the sense that he has a big set of interests that pile up into a person, however he's still fun to be around. sometimes he can be annoying, but all brothers are like that. we've done a lot of fun things together and i really appreciate that. he's also the only person in my family that doesnt force me to talk and answer questions and stuff. its like he understands what im thinking. that's why hes my best friend
