Ah, I remember you. I was wondering where you went. The Time Lime Lord think is the same though. Never change that.
-
Gasp. Shock. Horror. Charcuterie.
-
I question your parents decision-making ability, but yes. Must be a mouthful irl. Ah, no wonder you like Sanderson. A name like that, and you really haven't a choice.
-
It should be easy to scourge you out amongst your eyebrowed-glasses-wearing pears. Surely there can't be that many. I shall infiltrate your numerous ranks, and reach into the upper echelons to gain access to the book of names... And I of course assume your display name is accurate irl?
-
Heh. Fool! Ye has revealed thine appearance! Now the search is narrowed down to 2.5 - 4 billion people, and I know they have eyebrows!
-
Agreed (and the juxtaposition is noted an appreciated). The Myth of Sisyphus, by my (and Albert Camus's (I like that guy)) interpretation supports this. Eventually, you learn to find joy in the simple act of rolling the rock up that hill. Even if you know it goes nowhere. Life, isn't it?

The... wha...? So am I basically a sleep paralysis demon with a moral compass? (Some I know irl would agree with the first part (because of certain incidents (but we don't talk about that))) @Verdance A juvenile Ent with a guitar made of dead dwarves. ("HOW THE TURN TABLES YOU AXE-WIELDING SUCKAAAAS") @Usseewa always manifests as a nine-tail for some reason. @CoderDrag0n8 is... asian? @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren has no eyebrows and wears glasses.

Ah, the faithful order 66. If one is to be honest, I haven't gotten big into the star wars franchise. Most of my knowledge regarding it surrounds lightsabers.
-
Ah. I appreciate the compliment. (I disagree with it, but still feels nice) I always liked Yoda. He is proof that you are never to old for ragebaiting.
-
Hold it. Mace storming Windu? Is it because he's bald? It is, isn't it? (That and he wears a potato-sack, but that's fairly common in star wars) Who next, Samuel L. gorydamn Jackson? (Oh wait...)
-
Ha. Hahaha. Hahhahahahahah. AHhahahHAAa. AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH. Joy, mirth, and general frabjosity. This dear old schmuko? You flatter me. Thanks for that. Edit: Monks don't yap as much. The metal part is mostly accurate.

Really? (If I could hold your gaze with vehement intensity suited for a mafia movie, I would. You'll just have to use your imagination.)

Ever heard of stream-of-conciousness style writing? I think you'd be very good at that. I'm happy you're doing better. One thing I'd like to address: "How can I think, How can I speak, When I question everything? I constantly double-check, I continuously re-assess." To this, I'd like to share a small bit of writing. I don't do this often, but here it is: "To act? What does it mean “to act well?” To make good decisions? To act on instinct is folly. To act on volition is folly. For instinct is by nature flawed, And volition is by bias flawed. “To act well”, is to act minimally, is it not? “To despise”; Each act of despicableness is perceived by a thousand eyes. “To act”, is to be a fool. “To act well”, is to avoid doing so. But I ask you, who does this benefit?" Something I wrote when I was a bit younger. I was typing my immediate thought processes, so it isn't very coherent. To elaborate: Double-checking, reassessing, etc. all of your actions, thoughts and such: This is analysis paralysis. It's always good to keep a close eye on your views. Ensure that you let them change. But you need a balance, I think. As the above points out: It's impossible to make an objectively "good" decision. The alternative is to do nothing at all. Are you willing to do that? Strip away your ability to act and change things, take away your own humanity, for the purpose of consistency? Make your mistakes. Look back at them, and never regret. Live with the knowledge that whatever decision you made, was one made by you and because of you. Funnily enough, in my opinion there is little worse than not being able to take responsibility for a decision. Because that means YOU weren't really the one acting. Another, in one way or another, forced your hand. Who's life are you to live, if not your own?

Blast. Thanks for the heads up. I guess he's going on the list. (**BANG**) And thats another crossed off.
-
You need someone on the inside, my guy. I can recommend you a dude. He'd do anything for a Reeses Mini Peanut Butter Cup.
-
Very different to my list. (Gunshot sounds in the distance) And that's another name crossed off...
-
Which platform? I'm presuming this one? I don't mind. I don't know how much I can contribute though.
-
I started at some point, and found it a fascinating break of (and a simultaneous stickler to) narrative tropes. But, life happens, and I was unable to complete it.
-
I'm happy I could contribute. "Wal-king in the air..." The pain circulating here is an integral part of human existence. The Myth of Sisyphus, if you will. But we must imagine Sisyphus as happy.
-
Why thank you, he who preaches ORV.
-
... Alright. Have I haunted any dreams yet?
-
Ah, thank you. Said better, and kinder than I could have. Too often we (me inclusive, I must say.) let our flaws and struggles become too integrated into ourselves. Thats why I generally abhor labels like "Introvert", "Extrovert", "Antisocial". To me, it forces you into conforming to that archetype. One who has been called, and consequentially calls themselves an introvert, might actively act as one: And lose what little chance they might have had of further social development. Everyone stands on a constantly changing spectrum. We forget that too much. One should never think of personality "traits", or even "personality" as who you "are" or "have to be", if you know what I mean. We are humans. Some days you might stay in the house, not feeling like social interaction. Does that make you an "introvert"? By conventional definition, yes (Or if we want to be fancy, a hikikomori). But you will have days when you laugh and hang out with your friends all the time. Are you still an "introvert"? Sure, people tend to have behavioral trends. But once the labels we give for those trends begin to prevent our behaviors from changing, they become harmful. Just saw this part. And nearly double-posted again to reply. Alright, will do, and thanks.

Ah. Hello again. SH:
-
There is something rare. Thank you for taking your pain, and letting it blossom instead of fester and rot. Yet who is truly alone? The dead, who have become stillness? Or us the living, fading with every breath, losing ourselves mistaking movement for permanence. Da-ancing through the air I hear piano-o.

This is particularly interesting. I think I'll address this first. Always, humans have had an issue properly expressing their own thoughts and feelings. We wish to do so to be understood, for that is a common desire among our fellows and peers. Unfortunately, it can simply be too difficult to put and abstract thought or feeling into words or any sort of properly tangible expression. And even if you were the most talented linguist in all the world, with access to every terminology across the language, you'd still have the same issue: for the human mind is a multitude of facets and feelings. Consider the human mind as a massively complex system of pathways. Each one containing thoughts, feelings, emotions, a "facet" of your personality or self. The thing is, we only traverse one pathway at a time. Sure, we can switch and jump around with extraordianry speed, but we are never able to adhere to, say, 2 distinct lines of proper ruminative thought at a time. That, and those pathways are constantly shifting and evolving with new inputs and emotions. Thus, we simply aren't able to actively observe enough of ourselves to be able to come up with a complete, or even coherent idea of how to explain, or even properly identify who we "are", what our probleems are, etc. Not to say it's impossible of course. Right now, I'm likely slowly deviating from my original point. I'm thinking WHILE I'm writing, this is literallry my present thought processes. Just an example, if you will. Anyways. My point is, it's always difficult to identify and/or explain your issues. Figuring out exactly what they are yourself is one thing. Trying to explain them to others is an entirely different rabbit hole. Don't stop trying. Eventually, you will find the words (Stormlight, huzzah!). Remember that you are constantly changing. Your problems, the way you describe them, all will change and shift. Some issues are core to humanity itself and cannot truly be solved. Perhaps you can look at various philosophical frameworks. Try them out. Ruminate them a bit. See if they give you the answers and/or closure you seek. As for getting help from others: I know what you mean. Or at least, I think I do. It does, for a lot of people. You are definitely not alone in this manner. Trapped in self doubt? And endless cycle of behaviors, emotions, or thoughts that harm yourself and those around you sometimes? A terrifying loss of control, with each step slowly destroying whatever trust you had in your ability to control what's happening? That's what I'm getting. Sorry if I'm being a bit blunt. Ah, trapped in a cage of one's own mind. This I cannot help with. But the ones around you might be able to. So here's a quote: "People see only the decisions you made, not the choices you had." Perhaps let someone close know that you realize there is a problem. Let them see not just the result of your turmoil (which is likely negative), but show them the turmoil. Remind them that no one is dislikable because they wish to be. To often we judge outcomes without considering the pain that caused it. And of course, then it's up to you. Even after acquiring help, the effort to change must come from you. Even if it feels like running into a brick wall, perhaps you'll find it'll eventually yield. Or, I may have completely misinterpreted your post. If so, sorry. I've written a lot. At this point, I've forgotten 80% of what I typed in this post. So, any inaccuracies or fallacies will go unnoticed until someone tells me.
