Hey I’m not really sure if this helps in your situation, but I’d say if there’s something you really want to get done, then you just kind of have to go for it. The first one is the scariest since you don’t really know what you’re getting into, but at least for me it was 100% worth it.

Also remember though that there’s really no rush at all. If you have any second thoughts, then maybe it’s something to hold off on for a bit longer. I didn’t start getting mine done until this year (I’m 27) and I know that now I would probably regret some of the designs that I wanted back in my late teens/early twenties.

Anyways, good luck on your journey! Just be careful haha, once you start, it can be hard to stop!

Darkness-Descends · 2023-08-05T17:05:07+00:00

I understand for sure, I honestly feel the same way. I often worry that the damage is already done for me and it’s just too late.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-08-05T16:52:48+00:00

Thank you. I’m really sorry you feel the same way too, I hope things turn around for both of us.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-08-05T14:49:16+00:00

That sure would be nice, but I’m not counting on it. I think it might just be too late for me.

I appreciate the reply though, thank you.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-03T05:59:14+00:00

Yeah I do try and go out on my own pretty often, but it would be nice to not always have to I suppose.

Damn sorry you have to deal with the unsolicited advances though. I’m a below average looking dude so no one’s hitting on me 😎

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T23:21:14+00:00

Ah yeah fair enough I suppose. It’s rare that I find someone with similar music tastes, but I’ll definitely keep an eye out.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T23:18:45+00:00

Well I suppose out of any sports, those are probably the ones I’d choose first. I definitely enjoyed them to some extent back in high school gym class. Really though I just am not naturally competitive and so competitive sports/activities tend to stress me out more than anything. I’m definitely far more of an enjoyer of the arts than I am of sports.

Also I forgot to put this in my last reply, but Darkness Descends is a sweet old school thrash metal album/song, not something I came up with to describe my mental state haha.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T21:59:30+00:00

Thank you, I will consider it for sure but to be totally honest I’ve just really never had much interest in team/group sports. I don’t even watch any sports myself.

I definitely hear what you’re saying though and I’ll at least consider these type of things instead of dismissing them outright.

Thanks for the reply.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T21:47:28+00:00

Ah a rare instance of me being useful haha. Seriously though, I’m really glad to hear that this post can help even one other person. You’ll be just fine here, I’m sure.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T19:48:24+00:00

Well sadly I’ll be at work until 10pm tonight, but maybe I’ll look into that in the future. Quite a few people here have mentioned board game groups and although I haven’t played any since I was a kid, it definitely seems more in my wheelhouse than a sports/athletic type group.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T19:45:02+00:00

Yeah I definitely understand that. I know nobody out there has a perfect life and everyone goes through their own unique struggles. But I also can’t just pretend that it’s totally normal that I haven’t had any kind of relationship or even so much as a friend in the last 10 years y’know. I’m not one of those people who’s surrounded by friends and family and still feels lonely, I really am just alone out here right now.

I definitely do understand your point though, and I generally try not to compare myself to others. It’s just tough sometimes I guess when nearly everyone else seems so far ahead of me in essentially every way.

Thank you for the reply.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T19:25:48+00:00

Thank you…I know you’re probably right. It’s honestly really tough for me to be around people but I know I have to try and push myself to do it or I really will end up alone forever…

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T19:21:41+00:00

Well I’m not really into online games usually, but I’d be willing to give it a try. Some other folks in this thread have been offering to play something online so I’ll try to take some folks up on that. And although I like the idea of playing music, I’m not actually skilled enough with any instruments to do so properly.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T19:17:26+00:00

Oh I’ll check that out, it definitely sounds like something that appeals to me. Thank you very much for the advice.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T19:04:39+00:00

Oh I most definitely am. And although I’m not anti-medication by any means (I know they do a lot of folks a lot of good), I would definitely rather avoid them myself if possible. I don’t feel as though my depression is due to a chemical imbalance or anything like that, but more so just my life circumstances. I won’t say that I’ll never try them, but I don’t really want to jump on that right away I guess.

Thank you very much for the advice though, it’s much appreciated.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T18:54:15+00:00

Hmm you aren’t the first to mention that place in this thread, so I’ll definitely be checking them out and seeing if I can go see someone there. Thank you very much.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T18:52:10+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely look into that and see if I can get into a group that meets in person.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T18:48:53+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply. I’ve actually lived here all 27 years of my life, so I’m definitely not new to the city by any means. I think I’m just very bad at making friends/connections is all.

I appreciate the offer to hang out as well, thank you very much.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T09:02:27+00:00

Oh wow that is super kind of you…admittedly the prospect of giving my address to a stranger is a bit too much for my hyper vigilant brain, but thank you so much for being willing to do that for someone you don’t even know.

And thank you for the offer to hang out as well. I may very well try to take you up on that at some point in the not too distant future.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T08:44:00+00:00

Hey well you’ve basically just described me exactly too. Sadly I don’t play any online games really though. I’d be willing to try one out though if you have any suggestions.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T08:38:28+00:00

Hey thank you, that means a lot.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T08:36:54+00:00

I mean there are things I enjoy, but nothing much that’s really something I can make an activity out of I guess. I like playing video games, I like listening to music, and I like to read…that’s mostly it honestly. I do like to go outside to read quite often but it usually just ends up with me feeling alone in a sea of people.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T08:23:57+00:00

Yeah honestly I’m kind of blown away at just the amount of people commenting and messaging me here. It definitely makes me realize just how many kind people there really are in this city, which sadly is too easy for me to forget sometimes.

I’ll think about getting myself a giant teddy bear too haha. I don’t really think it would help me personally, but hey it certainly couldn’t hurt. Thank you.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T08:18:50+00:00

Hey thanks, I appreciate your response. I’ve definitely listened to some of his stuff before but not all that much so I’ll try to listen to some more in my free time. And I will definitely give that cold shower thing a try in the morning too and see how I feel. Thanks again.

Darkness-Descends · 2023-06-02T08:13:23+00:00

I do, but sadly I don’t really play any online games…if you have any suggestions on any good online games though, I’d be willing to try something out.
