People I consider my friends rarely text me.
I've got maybe six people I consider close friends, I work with two of them, three of them live hours away.
I worry that I'm getting on the two coworker friends nerves.
I'm almost always the one who begins text or physical conversations.
I know I have this stressed out exhausted vibe going on, and i have a reputation as a shy guy, but I am so lonely.
I would ask directly when someone says that to you - if they're joking, that gives you an opportunity to tell them that the jokes upset you (and if they don't immediately apologize and lay off, that tells you they are not good friends) and if they aren't joking, that SUUUUUCKS but also gives you information to work with.
As someone with an anxiety disorder and self-esteem issues, I've discovered over time that knowing, even if it hurts, is better than wondering.
I'm going to call my family doctor office tonight when I get home and see what the process entails.
Yeah that option is risky because there will always be people in your social circle like me, who DO care but for various reasons are really bad at initiating contact.
This shit right here.
Nervously worrying about whether or not someone feelings a certain way is so much worse than being told they don't like me much.
Because, even if knowing that hurts, it turns an unknown into a static variable that I can move on from.
I never thought of your hair as short
But I grew up in an isolated area where no one would wear their hair longer than shoulder length
When I first went to Germany, I was suddenly surrounded by long luscious locks everywhere and it was a shock
Based on what I've seen, I wouldn't call Tynic's hair long. But I would describe it as "plentiful".
If it lashes out it can be measured in yards.
muscular
swole even
A regular swoldilocks, she is.
And german women's haircuts tend to still be shorter than Americans.
Somewhere, there is video footage of one of my (US) friends standing half-naked on a table in a bar in Bielefeld, shouting "I love German women, and their lesbian haircuts!"
I think haircuts were so short where I grew up because we never stopped living in the 90s
In other news Germany is fun! I'm a liiiittle drunk and very tired.
Is that not simply the German Experience?
no, German Experience is a little drunk and very serious
paramedics
you are amazing
I love you
I love the NHS
the end.
I sound drunk but I'm not I'm just full of rice and love for paramedics. They do a grand job.
nah, just one
HEEYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I have a ton of respect for them, for sure. Such a stressful and difficult job.
It was enjoyable.
It makes it oh so smooth
But maybe I'll try that next time I make one from scratch
You're god damned right it does.
I remember the first time I had a Mountain Dew, I expected to be blown away and then it was just some generic citrus-flavored soft drink
Are they marketed to gamers? Very much so. Both have done promotions with Call of Duty before where you would get codes from their packaging that could be redeemed for double XP bonuses and other things.
You mean...
*puts on RAZR headset logs into Twitch TV 360 noscopes scrub gg*
GAMER FUEL?
Maybe stuff to suddenly explode around me
Did that not happen? Weird.
That's actually the reason I cut back on the Dew. Too expensive.
Like a mild version of Paris syndrome
But if you steer clear of the snack food, the rest is pretty much exactly like TV told you it would be.
I have a vaguely similar situation with my friends.
Forgive the assumptions but I'm guessing most of your friends are male? I've found that my friends are utter rubbish at being able to deal with emotional situations.
One of my friends has split up with his partner of 9 years . Despite us being a largeish friendship group he's said several times he's only been able to talk to me about problems because the other guys just can't process what to say/do.
I don't see my friends very often despite the fact they lives minutes walk away. They all work 9 - 5 Monday to Friday and I work shifts on a weird pattern. Instead of approaching me saying they haven't seen me etc they talk about me not going to stuff amongst their selves and then it becomes a thing and I become that guy who doesn't so anything.
However, they do actually miss me, but they don't feel able to actually talk to me like an adult about it.
Basically what I'm saying is that I appreciate you're in a hard place but I think your friends do want to speak to you but they might be too worried about not being able to support you.
Hope this makes sense!
Mountain Dew gets its association with Gamers from being on the upper end of caffeine content for sodas. Most things more caffeinated than Mountain Dew either involve Coffee in some way, or are actual Energy Drinks, which tend to be a bit too pricey for bulk consumption.
So if you regularly want to stay up all night pwnzoring n00bs, and you're a teenager who doesn't just own his own coffee machine, Mountain Dew occupies a sweet spot at the intersection of low price and how long it will get you buzzed.
Yeah, four of the six are dudes
In related news, I got out of work too late to call the doctor.
I waited for the next train though because I don't want to feel like a creep
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
Yes, paramedics are amazing. All of the ones I know are so lovely and brave and so strong.
I'm pretty sure they could all literally crush me if they so wished, including one of the ladies who is shorter than me.

I had an OKC date tonight, and while the guy was very nice, he was also super nervous and awkward. He was nerdy, he was not my kind of nerdy. He's more of a listen-to-ten-hours-of-history-podcasts-a-week-and-play-Warhammer type. Which is....not really my thing.
And he was also super into me while I was super not into him.
I did manage to escape after just the one beer though, and it was also good to get practice in, and also to not get murdered by a man from the internet. So I mean, no harm done, but I'm gonna feel a bit bad shutting him down later.
