Someone else changed the title.

Could have been anyone.

Shouldn't there be a mod history to view that though.
Also now the forums has two annoying banners I can't dismiss. Because we need to be told twice to not be dicks lol

My mobile browser decided to piss me off and change it's UI, why do companies think changing this stuff is a good thing? I use it because I like how it works, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

You could say the same thing about a lot of things. Like Pokemon. Thats just my opinion though.

 

[ZinnLav]

Well sure but it's not like my current copy of Pokemon changes the UI in an update, I have to buy a new game, of course it'll be different.

Of course there is, but why ruin the mystery?

A random reminder that gender reveal parties are a total abomination of society and they should be abolished.

Gender reveal party gone wrong sparks California wildfire

A couple used a pyrotechnic device that emits pink or blue smoke.

It's crazy how overboard people go with them. Like, what was wrong with just a cake or some balloons?

(Ig the balloons aren't the greatest idea.)

But yeah, with all jokes aside. This is an issue nowadays, and yeah, I don't think people should do them anymore.

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

People shouldn’t do anything, anymore. It’s too much effort.

I know you put a lot of effort in your life

 

[PurplePopplio]

It's a bit hard to put in effort when you feel tired.

 

[Toxtricity]

It's easy to put in effort when you are ME.

That's good. I wish I had that sort of confidence.

Ask ME for the confidence, he'll reveal his secrets.

Sure. What advice does he have?

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

The confidence is all a facade. I struggle with depression on a daily basis, and, a lot of days, even getting out of bed takes a lot of effort.

However, if you put on a good front, people will believe that you are confident and that everything is just fine.

While that can be useful, to prevent people from getting too nosy, it does also take a lot of effort, and is only worth doing if you’re actually trying to resolve your underlying issues.

It’s okay to need help to get through these sorts of complex issues. I myself am going through therapy right now and I’m trying a multitude of different techniques to help shift the way my brain thinks about things from a more negative outlook to a more neutral or positive outlook.

I feel like that’s pretty good advice.

Thank you for the wonderful advice!
You're certainly taking the right steps in dealing with your problems.

I also have the strong trait of being extremely shy. So it's hard to open up.

Don’t feel “compelled” to open up from other people, or from societal pressure.
As a whole, society seems to value extroverts or extrovert characteristics, more than introverts. But if you’re an introvert, or if you’re shy, there is nothing wrong with being who you are, if that is who you want to be.
