If you'll excuse me, I'm going to cry in a corner now.

Sounds like fun! Here's mine.

Ah.
Congratulations for overcoming it.

Lots of folks can't overcome things like that.

Thank you for that.

Thank you, lad. :)

I don't fully understand what's going on and why, but congrats.

Thank you. I was just going through a rough spot in my life and got a good group of people to help me out. I feel I owed them my thanks.

I appreciate you guys helping me out with advice when I was going through a rough patch in my life. I've been doing great recently and have actually gotten back to posting my music again. It's not the greatest stuff on Newgrounds, but I have gotten a whole lot better at what I do and I have you guys to thank for it. I hope everyone has a fantastic week and can't wait to share my music with a whole lot more people soon.

But seriously though. That is sad. :T

The fattest man in the world died. Yes saying that the fattest man on the world is alive wouldn't be a lie.

Here's an interesting thought for you to discuss, along with topic of obesity

This just in. Water is also wet.

Basically this.

It would be impossible for the best reviewers to level up. People would down-vote them for long or critical reviews, and up-vote them for short, overly-flattering reviews.

Our reviews will start to become Reddit posts or, worse, Youtube comments.

This is the best reply I've seen on this post. You make a valid point.

the level system is never going to change, that would make it unfair to the individuals that have spent years on this site accumulating exp.

Well, obviously you shouldn't change that. That would be unfair.

Not sure if this is the place to post this. But I love this website. It's in my top 5 favorite websites ever. But there is one thing about this site I really don't like, and that's the way you level-up in it. It's not very effective in that it is easy to get the levels but takes too long to get them in a way. All I have to do is wait a day then rate 5 posts that I already gave the same rating to. It's easy to do, but feels monotonous. I think the best way to go with the level system is how well you write your reviews for things and how many thumb-ups you get on it. This kind of thing will encourage people to proof-read their posts and act like an asshole less often. This is my thoughts on it. How do other people feel about this?

Heterochromia iridum would be pretty hot.

I have hidden shyness that I try to mask by trying to be social that sometimes comes on way too strong to some people. I have trouble finishing projects I start sometimes, even though I have a great love for what I do. I feel as if it's because if it does not sound perfect to me, then I give up and quit. I cannot follow simple instructions from time to time, because it's hard for me to find focus when I'm thinking of something else. I try to appear to be happy around others. And I'm apparently a good actor. Because everyone thinks I am happy. I'm not thinking about offing myself or anything. But it's very distressing to me.

AH
Sounds to me like you're just a shitty person
Here's what you've got to do
Don't be a shitty person
Be alive and stuff
Do things
I might be making a major leap of assumption here but I think what's holding you back is fear
That's essentially what shyness is
Being afraid of putting yourself out there because if you do you can get hurt and you really really really fukken don't wanna get hurt
SO just
get over that
and live on
And don't spend too much time worrying
When you find yourself worrying divert your thoughts to something more productive like "None of this matters everyone is gonna die this is all in my head I could just easily pull down my pants right now and ultimately nothing that matters"

I think you might be stuck in an "if I don't REALLY try I can't REALLY fail" self-destructive loop which the key to getting out of is realizing that all the time you've spent building the little self destructive mechanisms in your head is was a complete waste and everything that came out of it is also a complete waste and you're gonna die with nothing to show for it because you were afraid to try and not because you couldn't

It's not the end of the world or anything you're a human and your potential is endless you just have to try and fail a few times

Kudos for not considering offing yourself as an option because that is demented

I actually got something from this. Even though you called me a shitty person. What the hell?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hang in there, bro. Don't lose faith in yourself.

I really appreciate all the help everyone has given me in a troubling time in my life. I will take all the good advice that you guys have given me and apply it to my life. You all are awesome.

Here, here! Glad to hear you were able to conquer your problems and kick them where it hurts!

Any book my grandmother ever got me.

By the way, I checked your music and I like what I'm hearing. Definitely room for growth and improvement but that just means your future music will be even greater. I'll definitely stay tuned.

Thank you for that. It's greatly appreciated. :)

Why would you drown a person that's already dead?

Did you even watch the clip? Their mother was alive when they put her in the bad tub, and her last words were about she hate the twin.

You said "The horror part was that they drowned her while she was still alive."
Of course they drowned her why she was alive, you can't drown if you're dead.

It's okay.

You have problems.

I've been curious for a long while. Since I started making music back in 2009, I've dreamt or daydreamt music that I had never heard before. They always sounded so unique and complete. I have made songs before from these "Melodious Dreams" so to speak. I was curious if anyone else has ever had this happen to them?

Perhaps it is neither the right place nor the right time, but I can't help but question this sort of diagnosis. ADD and a great number of Asperger's seems to me like nowadays hysteria. Now for all those who don't know, hysteria was a scam. A scam that led to hysterectomies and vaginal massages as treatment. It honestly seems like a very weird habit, especially in anglo-saxon countries, to label people - especially young men or boys experiencing feelings of not belonging and reacting violently to authority - disordered in such a fashion. I am not doing psych-anything, but seems to me that these labels are anything but scientific. I am therefore very skeptical. You have a job, you socialize (even though you may feel like you're not fitting in), you express yourself with clarity. You're not weirder than anyone else. And if you feel very down, well, that's not because you're disordered. Hell, someone who is happy all the time probably is.
There are just moments when life feels uncomfortable.
Treat yourself kindly, set up reassuring routines, give yourself moments to do nothing except relax and reward yourself for small achievements.
And, most importantly, express yourself. There must be a number of people around you you don't need to act all happy for. These feelings might take a while to go away. Perhaps you just need something new in your life. Piano lessons seem like a very good idea. Set yourself long-term goals, they're what keep us motivated through childhood after all.

Well , it was my advice anyway

Thank you for the advice. To correct one thing though, I was tested by a doctor for it. And he did say that Asperger's and ADD are both legitimate things. But he also said they can be over-comed through proper practices. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I shall have to make a purchase in the near future then. I found a place nearby that gives piano lessons for real cheap. So, I'm going to use that as a way to help me with my problem of not being able to follow instructions.

Hmm. I feel that way a lot. .
I'm not sure if I have any advice that will help. Just keep trying to be social when you can. I know what it's like to want something perfect and then just quit; just force yourself to finish it regardless of quality and see how it turned out.

Thanks for the advice.

Self-discipline, persistence, and personal responsibility are three attributes you can strive to achieve that will help you with any procrastination problems.

Self-discipline - The ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses; the ability to pursue what one thinks is right despite temptations to abandon it.

Persistence - Firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.

Personal Responsibility is taking responsibility for your actions, accepting the consequences that come from those actions and understanding that what you do does create an effect in turn.

Just apply those.

You are a blessing Creslsis. I'm glad you took the time to help me with my personal problems and not give me some cliche response. Like that "be the way you are" mumbo-jumbo. Thank you. You have earned a new follower. And I hope you'll accept my friend request.

Hard to say, everyone has their own mental quirks that define them. Perhaps they're too introverted in their own mess to really be able to pay attention to you and your feelings. There's too many variables to decide whether it's entirely "you" or entirely "them," it's a combination of both. If you were the guy who sat in the corner all alone not many people honestly would have been aware of you, even the guy sitting in the opposite corner all alone. Do you have trouble starting up conversations or keeping them going? Some people can converse quite fine as long as someone else initiates the conversations, some can get a conversation started but can't keep it going.

I don't see why, logically, you would appear awkward to them unless they have some sort of problem themselves, as you are simply a man showing them content. Then again I don't know the manner in which you are doing so. Maybe they just have trouble showing gratification and don't know how to express themselves when they think something is really cool.. I bet you could come up with some examples of that happening. My advice would be to try to strike up conversations with people with the knowledge that everyone has a past, no ones life has been perfect.. and everyone has some series of traumatic events which has led up to the fears, inhibitions, and sociopathic/psychopathic of their current state, whether minute or noteworthy. Next time you're second guessing yourself about talking to someone, just do it, break through the mental bonds and see where it leads.

I'll see what I can do. Thank you for all your help. You have given me a sense of self-worth that I haven't felt in awhile. Also, it's not like my life is completely miserable. I actually have a best friend that has Asperger's as well. And we get along very well. I will take what you have told me and apply it to my life. Any advice on being how I can finish projects I start? Cause I have trouble with that.

You can deal with hiccups usually by holding your breath swallowing twice and exhaling through your nostrils. It doesn't always work, but it is pretty effective when it does work.

Nice man! I'm listening to your tune now. Sounds really good, and the bzzzzt sound segmenting the different parts of it is a really nice touch, like I'm listening to the radio, but everything sounds good so I want to sample everything.

I'll check out your channel. I can't say I'm much of a dancer, I'm usually the guy sitting down on the couch or standing up drinking a beer, not the guy on the dance floor.

Funny you say that. Cause I usually was the guy who sat in a corner not interacting with anyone. I was usually just waiting for the party to end. I've shared my content with people I know. But none of them have ever said anything about it. Do I come off awkward to them in some way. Is it me or is it them?
