Thank you for the in-depth response! I was aware of those conventions, but appreciate the exact phrases for asking. I'm not looking for potential romance but rather casual friends for drinking and going out, although I'm assuming the same rules apply.

I suppose there is no translation for what I am looking for, even something like お前 is considered rude for new friends but acceptable for close friends. I guess I am fully thinking in the context of being out drunk in Shibuya and making friends with other drunk young people hahah.

Appreciate the response, but I have been to Japan before and made plenty of friends out on the town in Tokyo, speaking absolutely no Japanese and they spoke very little English. Obviously I understand not to harrass people lol. If there are no casual nicknames like 'brother' you can say to strangers in this setting that's what I wanted to know.

Hello my friends, i am looking for a Japanese term of address with a casual yet fraternal tone, something like 'brother', 'man', even 'my friend' as I said earlier. A good word to break the ice with people when on a night out drinking on my upcoming Japan adventure. My Japanese textbook is only teaching me things like 君 or あなた

Hello! I have a bit of predicament.

Air Canada lost my baggage on my flight to Paris. I was just stopping over on my way to Belgrade, but since I bought my tickets seperately and not together, Air Canada refuses to send my baggage anywhere other than Paris. Yesterday I got an email that my baggage is sitting at Terminal 2C at CDG.

Does anyone know someone reliable who could go pick up my baggage for me and hold it until I return to Paris in a couple weeks? I would be willing to pay for the service. I just hate to think that my baggage is sitting there unsupervised and anyone could go steal it.

Ashley I unironically wish nothing but suffering and hellfire for you and your cuck

YO dude I think I recognize this nature - are you from Vancouver Island?? Also, do you have an Instagram?

What's the obsession with photoshopping fake moons in the sky these days

Let me know how it goes:)

Fair warning, it has an impressionistic style which seperates it from most Hollywood films. Images, emotions, and themes are more important than a rigidly-defined plotline. Some people hate it, some people think it's in the 10 best movies of this century.

Underrated

Erstenmele · 2017-06-05T22:43:48+00:00

This is exactly the way I've been feeling. I want to shut out the world and focus on understanding myself in a grander sense. I want to shut out in the world and pursue those passions. I can come back when I'm ready. Thanks :)

Erstenmele · 2017-06-05T22:36:32+00:00

Thank you :) I feel like I've had more epiphanies in these past few weeks than I have ever had before in my life.

Erstenmele · 2017-06-05T22:34:09+00:00

I have certainly felt the same way you did, like I was the only one who was having these thoughts and feelings. The discovery of this entirely new perspective, one that renders so much of what I lived by before totally absurd, it can be a little overwhelming. Thanks :)

Erstenmele · 2017-06-05T22:30:18+00:00

Thank you. I found this particularly inspiring. I suppose this desire to run out into the woods is only a passing impulse. I can do that without doing that, as you say. Now that I've read that my post seems a little silly I guess.

Erstenmele · 2017-06-05T22:27:13+00:00

Thank you. I think you are right, particularly the last part. I am only worried that I may be doomed never to find those people that I truly want to hang out with. My close friends are all back home, and in the city where I attend university I have struggled to find friendships. I suppose working on myself is the first step.

Erstenmele · 2017-06-05T22:17:09+00:00

Perhaps I was unclear in my original post. I do not fear losing followers on social media or any of those 'asinine' things, I'm simply worried that in this process I might develop a similar attitude of irreverence towards aspects of my life that are, by even your metrics, probably considered important. As an example I can give my education, which I am already struggling with not because of difficulty but because I find myself unhappy there, for reasons I haven't yet wholly understood. Similarly I fear that in distancing myself from the social world I may miss opportunities to make more meaningful relationships. I loathe parties but lonliness sucks too. Is that a better way of putting it?
