….no offense, but as someone who spent most of her teen years and a good portion of her twenties fluctuating between "depressed, but able to function" and "actively suicidal," you're sounding rather insensitive. I don't think it's intentional, but it's not funny, either.

Good God, it really isn't. I didn't know what to say that that wouldn't be critical or slightly condemning, but oi veeeeeey that's... now, assuming he's serious and it's meant to be dark humour, it's not particularly witty dark humour by any stretch of the imagination. It's, instead, edge for edge's sake, grossly insensitive and horribly reductive.

I've don it again.Aaah.......what can I say? I..... I meant all of the above as a joke, but most of what I have said is true. I've felt like that(still cry myself to sleep sometimes hey!)

When I joke, i tell little truths. I know how you feel quad, and I'm sorry. When I wrote that, I assumed everyone else would brush it off as a joke, so when you responded like that. I didn't know how to respond. And kinda played along with the original idea, in the hopes that no one would realize what I really meant.

sorry

i think a lot differently to people, I'll have u know, it's always remarked upon.

@Quadrophenia, can we finish this now, it's nearing midnight, I'm terribly sorry. I keep doing it, it's just...we aren't talking face to face, so  I do things differently.

I am not kidding when I say Welcome to Night Vale is my jam. It's the altar of weird I pray at every morning. It's my chief fandom on the internet, easily.

Don't forget steeped in surrealist performance art traditions or philosophically absurdist, either. 

 

Me too! I started yesterday, and am stopping no time soon.
