i’m aware of that, thank you!! 
because cam suggested that i should re-post this message i made on the ranting thread on the old forums & that it’s a really good idea (thank you cam!)…
hey friends and lurkers i’ve noticed some people say things along the lines of “i’m not commenting on the ranting thread because my problem is too small”. no matter how seemingly insignificant, you’re welcome to talk about it! any size problem is worthy enough to bring here! and we have this rlly rad community that will always help out! if you need to rant about dropping your potato salad yesterday, i’ll sympathize with u and talk about how i dropped a bowl of strawberries and nearly cried.
this still applies! don’t be afraid to speak up and rant about the silliest of things!!

School. The dreaded evil for most of us.
My advice to you: It’s okay to not know what to do. I’m sure that on a day to day basis most of us has worries about similar things you have, and that’s okay. Even if you think you don’t have friends, even if you feel that people see you as ‘weird’ or ‘annoying’…?- I’d say to still try to approach people. To me, you aren’t any of those and I think at least one person in your class should be able to see how amazing you are. You may think these things, but you can’t be certain that that’s what everything thinks about you. Try to make conversation no matter how difficult it may seem at first. Just wait, it might surprise you how others may actually perceive you differently than how you think they do.
If you have tried to make friends and aren’t succeeding, you know what?- Forget them. Try to join some clubs or after school activities, so that way, even if you may not have friends in class, you’ll always know and can look forwards to having conversations with those who care about you. Use this time to discover who you are without the influences of others. Even if the people in your class may not like you and such, know that everyone on the forums enjoys your company, and heck, if all of us enjoys your company, you should know you’re doing something right.
About the two girls who you do homework with- Please don’t listen to them. Whatever comments they make about you, whether that’s your ‘stupid’ or anything else, you aren’t. You really aren’t, and that’s me offerign you the truth. Don’t let their negativity affect you, always stay the wonderful person you are now.
Walk with confidence, keep your head held high, and look your insecurities and self-esteem problems in the eye. Remember, fake it 'til you make it. Continue reminding yourself that you are you and that’s the best thing you can be. I have faith in you, that you will rise above this (even if it takes me PMing you inspirational quotes daily, which I’m willing to do by the way if it helps you with your confidence). You have done it before, and I know you can do it again. Don’t let your insecuries prevent you from doing anything, whether that’s starting a new friendship, pursing hobbies, completing goals, and more.
I really hope this helped you, even the slightest. I hope things at school changes for the better for you soon, by the way.

I have finally finished the archive for the old thread, you can find it here.
If you find any mistake, want me to change or delete something, please tell me, I will do my best to change it as soon as possible.

Blu, I remember your first rant in the matter and I am going to say the same thing I told you earlier. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having feelings, so don’t beat yourself up over that. Rather than overthinking about your feelings you should focus on what you’re going to do about them. And it seems you have clarity in what you will do with those feelings, which I applaud because you really need to take care of yourself and if your friends say.
To save yourself the pain of liking someone, well that’s something I don’t know about, but I would suggest you to try and detach yourself from him. Go and be you and be happy being you, soon enough you will find that you don’t need him in your life, and that you may not want him in it either.
I know you said you don’t fight back, but I believe that you have to stand up to them and show them that what they’re doing is wrong. And if you don’t want to, you can always confront them verbally or tell someone you trust to back you up on that. I doubt you’re alone in this situation and I’m sure someone will be ready to back you up.
Coming from someone who never had any friends through all of her school experience, i can relate to you more than you can imagine. Maybe you are different from them (which would make you weird) but you know what? Screw it! Normalcy is such a variable concept, there is nothing that is truly “normal”. You be you and enjoy yourself, it’s your life and no one has the right to make it torture to you.
If you can, I would suggest you to keep away from those girls and either do stuff by yourself (which I have found to be relaxing) or grouping up with other people.
I have too been isolated, but there’s something about solitude that I’ve grown to love. There’s peace and quiet and you can let your thoughts flow to become beautiful, (remember, χαλεπα τα καλα). And if you ever need someone to talk to you, you know your forums fam is here for you.

Thank you for the words of advice and wisdom Cam! Theyre really helping me deal with all of this <3 You really are the ranting thread Mom!!!
That is a really nice reflection. Thank you 
It is really helpful
I had a pixie cut for about two years before deciding to grow it out a long while ago. I’ve had a couple of these experiences before. Even when I would wear something feminine, like a dress instead of leggings or jeans, little boys would come up to me and ask, “Are you a boy or a girl?” or “I didn’t know girls could have short hair!”
I mean, eventually I got sort of used to it, but it got me down sometimes. How could it not, as an insecure middle school girl? I hope it doesn’t get you down. And I hope the toddler got in trouble too, lol

what you just wrote sums up my entire 7th grade experience oof
i got my hair cut short, and it was a drastic change to having long, brown locks up to my butt and people didn’t take it so well. people used “he” pronouns when they talked about me or with me, and occasionally i’d have people stick post-its on me saying ‘congrats! it’s a boy!’
it was awful because i felt punished for having a hairstyle i really liked, and it really took a toll on my self-esteem and confidence. i had to start wearing hoodies and hats because i was just that ashamed.
oh man i hope that kid got a lonnnnggg talk…
honestly if that were me, i’d be appalled too, because no matter what age you are, doing anything like that isn’t okay at all.
i have really short hair as well, and at first i was very insecure about it, but i soon came to like it and go back every 6 months to get my hair trimmed super short again after 4 years of having a pixie cut. they’re very beautiful and suit any girl, no matter what ignorant person who believes in gender roles or ruining peoples’ self esteems says.
if you like it, flaunt it and own it!

You’re welcome <3
I was sitting next to someone at the mall & they were smacking their lips so hard while eating. It drove me crazy!
Guys ik I’m not very active these days cuz I have shit of my own going on. But whatever it is that you guys are facing, I hope it gets better (it will get better), and just remember to throw away the people who are toxic to you, because they are never worth it.

OMG yes. I hate love triangles so much: In the beginning the mc has one crush that they’ve been in love with their whole life, and he is the Golden boy 
. She is just a lonely nobody, and golden boy hasn’t noticed her once.
But suddenly a bad boy arrives to the stereotypical high school setting. The camera zooms from their feet up to their face and they smirk at the MC who is blushing despite her lifelong “crush”. The mc´s annoying bff persuades her to wear makeup, take out the ponytail and wear nice clothes to school even though the mc isn’t comfortable(great friend rite).
Suddenly both the golden boy and the bad boy notice her 
. And the annoying love triangle begins. The mc flirts with and kisses both love interests despite that being kina cheating? and even though we don’t want to the author gives us no choice. And this goes on and on and on and on until the last chapter where we get a final decision: Bad boy or golden boy. You can’t even choose to be single, you choose one or the other. And then you live happily ever after and have 10 kids. THE END. that is like 90% of the romance section tbh and I’m sick of it.

i wouldn’t know because i haven’t touched the app in months, but are there any stories out there in general with a man as the main character/the customizable one you make decisions for??
i don’t think i’ve ever read a story where i played as a boy.
Well this is something I ranted about in the old thread but I might as well rant about it now. I am sick and tired of being sick, of being me.
For those of you who don’t know, I have quite a few health issues that keep me from living an otherwise “normal” life. And while it isn’t a problem most of the time, there are days like today that make me hate everything. So… earlier this morning I fainted due to my heart failure, no big deal, it happens to me all the time. However, my parents don’t think like that.
I asked them not to call a doctor, I don’t need a doctor to see me after every time I faint, I know how to deal with the situation, I’ve been dealing with it for almost six years. But no, they didn’t listen, they called a doctor. Does anyone want to take a guess of what the doctor said to me? Nothing new, he told me I had to do what I already know I have to do, and my parents wasted money on that. However, it’s not money what bothers me.
What really gets me mad is the attitude almost everyone has when they learn what I have to deal with, all the “Oh you poor, lost puppy” faces, all the “you are very strong” comments full of pity. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO PITY ME FOR BEING ME. It’s my life, of course I know it sucks, I don’t need you to be reminding me of it every other second! I CAN DEAL WITH MY LIFE AND YOUR PITY DOES NOTHING TO HELP ME SO JUST SHUT UP, PLEASE.
Another thing that bothers me to no end are the obvious lies people tell their sick loved ones at hospitals. Those lies are so easy to see through, and you know that, in the end, they are just trying to convince themselves because of the fucking uncertainty that the sick person is going through. People are taking a person’s struggles and making it theirs instead, and that is not okay. All the “you’re going to be okay”, the “WE’ll get through this” makes me want to punch the person. SOMETIMES YOU DON’T KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY, AND THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE. SOMETIMES UNCERTAINTY IS FAR BETTER THAN A FALSE SENSE OF HOPE. Can you imagine if I had tried to tell my dying friend that it was all going to be okay? I’m sure she would have laughed in my face. She was dying and we all knew it, there is no need to make up things. Does it hurt to see your loved ones going through a hard situation? Yes, it hurts like a bitch, but you cannot dictate what’s going to happen to them, the only thing you can do is accompanying them through the process like a decent human being. You know what bothers me so much about people trying to believe everything is going to be okay? It’s their fucking selfishness, they are trying to ease THEIR pain, because they can’t do anything to ease the other’s condition/illness/whatever. They are trying to make it easier for THEM, and they forget that it’s not them who are going through all the shit the sick person is going through. And appropriating other’s pain is… just SO wrong? Like bitch, you are not in this exact situation, you are not the one who’s fucking dying, LET THEM FEEL THEIR PAIN, don’t make everything about yourself. This is one of the reasons the autistic community hates Autism Speaks, those assholes and the “poor mummies” of children with autism minimise THEIR struggles and make it all about the neurotypical idiots who have to “live with that”. LET SICK/ILL PEPLE/ PEOPLE WITH DIFFICULT CONDITIONS, ETC FEEL THEIR OWN PAIN, THE WORLD DOESN’T REVOLVE AROUND YOU, YOU FUCKING PRICK. My mother is not a “poor mum” for having a child with the conditions I have.
I have already come to terms that I am never going to have a normal life, I have already come to terms with the fact that I will probably die younger than most people. I have come to terms with myself. Why can’t others do that too? Why do they have to force me to fight against myself?
EDIT: Can people also stop dismissing my conditions? Sometimes my heart beats so fast and so hard that my chest hurts, but since I have a slow average heart rate and a weak heart people see it within “normal” ranges and I’m stuck feeling like my heart is going to burst from my chest while they are like “Oh no, you’re perfectly fine” like !!! please! I know I’m not! I’m dying over here! Don’t tell me this is something everyone feels all the time because it’s fucking not!
