I tend to get "I thought you were older" a lot. It's because of the stress and depression I've had for the last 7 years, and how it's irreparably influenced how I communicate.
Also I use proper grammar and punctuation. Which makes me seem like an old person writing an email.
@jokur_and_batmon Nooo! Dont say that about yourself. You're not an idiot. And you don't sound bitter at all to me.
@timebender25 Omg, I never knew you were stressed and depressed. I've been depressed too for several years and I have an idea on how you may feel right now. Your communication skills are perfect to me. You don't sound elderly to me at all. I actually just assumed in my head that you were about 25(probably because of your username)
@jokur_and_batmon and @timebender25 *hugs* It makes me sad that you both are going through stuff. I may not be able to do much but do know that, messing up your punctuations twice or more isn't as bad as you think. And sometimes, no matter how clear we are, we still get misunderstood. Hang in there, you both *hugs again* <3
@adam44 Really?
You're amazing, Aviva. Thank you.
I've had 7+ years, so at this point I'm pretty acclimated to it. Helps that I have, and really have always had, solid ground. So to speak. Even if that ground is dusty, dry, and decaying, it *is* solid.
I can't claim to know what it's like. To be constantly under the fear that you might just fall. That you might slip away. Some, inherent part of me, a very small yet immensely powerful piece, refuses me that. For better or for worse.
From how you guys talk about depression amd how poorly you speak of yourselves I figured it was self-deprecating humour like my style of humour. I developed that after I hit 23 though. I, oddly enough, assumed it was similar for you guys.
@timebender25 Awwn. You're amazing too. Oh. I'm so sorry I'm responding late. That sounds really poetic but I'm still really concerned about you. I really wish you were on a ground that's not only solid but beautiful. Hang in there <3
@adam44 It's not the best kind of humor. Please are you okay?
@jokur_and_batmon How come? Please do you want to talk about it?
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU!!! :)
As any other day. (Plus my sick colleague kept spluttering on my arms). But I was sorting through old stuff and I found the name of my best friend from when I was 4 and we're chatting right now so I'd say it's great :D
Yeah that was awesome! We have both changed so this isn't the beginning of a new friendship but I had spent years thinking about her and I'm really glad to see she's doing fine and happy with her life. *hugs back*
Whatever "studies" were made were plainly wrong. 1) the idea of a "soulmate" is debatable. 2) I know plenty of people (including myself) that didn't meet their spouse until well after 21.
(jk, I'm actually fine being single)
