So don't take your puppy for a hike. Take them for a carry.

acela, maybe your actually stitch. Your the unconventional and much needed answer to someone else's prayer. You just haven't found each other yet.

Antisocial is not a synonym for introverted or isolationist. Anti-social means that the person is devoid of compassion and empathy for others, and seeks to undermine society.
It is true that those that are introverted do seek out others and can be quite comfortable in social settings. The difference between introvert and extrovert is that introverts tend to be very selective of who they spend their time with. They also find social events t be exhausting, leaving them to need time alone to convalesce. Extroverts on the other hand find social events/situations make them more energized.

Im so sorry for your loss. It sucks to lose an animal, however brief they were yours. Even though you were unable to save her, I'm sure her life was vastly improved after you took her in, and was loved and cared for.

... separately!

And now im stuck wondering what being a friend to a Weeping Angel would be like...

A tan is you're body defending itself against the radiation from the sun. Your skin produces more melanin to block and protect against future damage. So while technically a "base tan" helps protect you from future exposure, the tan itself is a sign of skin cell damage caused by the sun.

True, but red solo cups don't seem vey classy.

Not everyone can stand up for themselves. And blaming a victim and saying their the ones that need to change, is the problem. Bullying is not a victims fault. And you'll notice I did acknowledge that people do need to accept that the world is full of jerks and learn to deal with that.
Blaming the victim removes blame from the aggressor. Should people stand up to bullies? Absolutely. Should people work to not let other people bother them? Yes. But I would rather have a society that focuses on tolerance and respect rather than telling people to "not be a victim". A bully creates the victim, not the other way around.
I've never been bullied. But my 2 year old has already come up against ridicule and hurtful behavior by just being different. She has Down syndrome. What should she do exactly, to not be a victim?

Well, they are related.

I do think that people need to develop a thick skin. No one is going to pass through this life without criticism or meet only nice people. But there's nothing wrong with telling people to treat others with respect and not bully. Were trying to create a society that that's tolerant and respectful of others, rather then blaming those that are bullied and telling them to change. I can't see how teaching people not to bully is a bad thing. It's about stoping the damage bullying causes before it happens, rather then just treating the problems it creates after the fact.

They are. The Columbine shooters were actually not kids who were bullied till they snapped. One was even popular. But he had narsististic personality disorder and was a sociopath, the other had severe depression was heavily influenced by the other.
