    Star wars

    It was my favourite thing as a kid. Born in 68 and saw the movie in the theatre so many times when it was new in 77 and then in 78. Now I watch the old films and facepalm so hard over the dialogue.

    Is it a bad thing if I feel because my low self esteem that I feel I should have praise, sympathy or encouragement due to my illness?

    You're purposefully sabotaging yourself to ensure that you maximize suffering. What about this is appealing, exactly?

    Do any of you have trouble making friends not online but in everywhere real life?

    I found an efficient way to make new friends by accident. I participate in events or activities that are of interest to me with like-minded people. I have found that they are accepting of my quirks and I come away with new friends and have maintained good and meaningful recently created...

    When people perform, talk about a topic whatever they shouldn't talk about their personal life.

    If I lived here. Over $1,000 on paddle board and accessories. The travel trailer and truck and diesel and camping fees... Oof.

    Huh. That explains why I was so miserable last night paddling on a beautiful lake at dusk while enjoying nature. I had no idea my happiness was making me so unhappy. Silly me.

    When people perform, talk about a topic whatever they shouldn't talk about their personal life.
