Don't sweat it. Least we could do.cp.06 said:This evening I have been crying for about an hour. I have had an epiphany. I have realised that if I died today, only 3 people would miss me. My parents, and my girlfriend. I have very few friends and the ones I do have I barely see. I have accidentally pushed them away. I can't handle life. I can't handle money. I can't even get a job. And yet, despite all this, I still feel happy. I still feel at home.
All because of this website. It keeps me smiling. I come on the forums and feel part of a community, I watch the videos and grin to myself, I read the news stories and feel normal. I love this website, and everyone on it. I don't know a thing about any of you, and yet you're all the nicest people I've ever met.
So thank you. Thank you so much. I just wanted to share how I felt.
May I ask how? I wanna see if you did the same thing I did.cp.06 said:I have very few friends and the ones I do have I barely see. I have accidentally pushed them away.
Of course. I spent too much time on my own or solely with my girlfriend. Eventually my friends just stopped calling. It's my own fault, I just didn't see it happening until it had happened.oppp7 said:May I ask how?

Anyways, glad to hear appreciation for this site. Sorry I brought it down so much, though.

Really? I thought they belonged to this guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view]Pimppeter2 said:
I've done the same, and I'd suggest just trying to get in touch again. I've lost contact with some people, but there's others who I hadn't so much as emailed in over a year, and I got in touch, explained I'd been kinda down and withdrawn from the world and that I was sorry for ignoring them, and that I hoped we could get in touch soon to catch up.oppp7 said:Ah, ok that's different than what I did.cp.06 said:Of course.

I purposely ignored my friends for multiple reasons stemming from my own insecurities and laziness.
Edit: I love how my original post didn't show up first, even after a few refreshes, so I retyped a shorter version and the new one shows up...
It would be wrong - you're advertising the wrong group! Go join N.N.I.J.A [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/N-N-I-J-A]. We're also quite nice, even if there aren't as many of us. And we're definitely not re-using the old "pirate vs. ninja" joke. You can tell, because we have spelling mistakes.Hubilub said:RAWRAWRAWRNODISCUSSIONVALUERAWRAWR
Nah, I kid. I may be a grumpy and bitter bastard, but I'm not that grumpy and bitter.
Now go join P.R.I.A.T.E. We are all super-nice there!
[sub]I'm totally not advertising our group! That would be wrooong[/sub]
I see what you did there.J03bot said:Really? I thought they belonged to this guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view]Pimppeter2 said:
OT: Glad we could help! Not that I did anything, I just enjoy taking credit for other people's work.
The escapist is fun!
