It's beautiful

Yeah it means things got pretty heated

Social stuff is hard for many people. I'd wager most people are not even consciously aware of social status, social transactions, etc. It's not something that is really taught, so it's no surprise when someone is blind to it.

But if you ever feel bad because of what someone said or did, it's possible you're subconsciously reacting to a threat to your status (import and safety within a group).

Why do you say you're damaged?

It makes sense to me as a parenthetical comment

You're probably a nice person and a decent hang. Really that's what most people are looking for imho

Ouch. But also,

I once got angry and through a fit at a friend for buying me a surprise gift. I couldn't even tell you why, but I was very upset.

Try not to put too much stock in the bubbling brew that is childhood emotions.

I think you've got a good approach. I'm not fully allosexual myself, but it seems to me the most painful part of this would be the loss of esteem. To be excluded from anything so blatantly...

People want to be liked. It means social safety, inclusion in a group. Sexuality is just one of its expressions.

I get you. It's hard to think otherwise when all the world is a grey mist.

Nice. My partner is more of a movie person and I'm more a games person, so I'll watch movies with her almost as a favour, and she'll return it by playing games with me lol.

There's an art to picking a movie or game for a choosie person, and we've both got pretty good at predicting eachothers' tastes in media.

I also skipped my graduation. But just because I don't like that kind of stuff.

Why do you feel like you didn't deserve to graduate? I'm sure you did deserve it.

I hadn't really thought of it that way, but you're right. I think it happened around the time every action genre starting introducing "RPG éléments" to the point that they became de rigueur.

It was only natural that RPGs themselves would borrow back from the action genres that were borrowing from them.

Anyway yeah, it's nice to see a big RPG bring just an RPG.

But that would require personal work and growth on my part! Joke
