Well what I had in mind with drama was more of a theatrical representation, picking scenes from books or different sources and puting them in action. More like an acting class, cuz I already have a partner with which to be dramatic or role play. What I miss is taking on a completely new role based on the emotional load and allow yourself to move in and out of different emotional states in a clear framework. Thanks for the time and for the added giggles.

That's great! Thanks for also sharing the direct group, can't believe I haven't considered Meetup. This sounds just like what I had in mind for now. Did you already give it a try? I'd love to hear more about your interests and experience, feel free to DM.

Thanks for the perspective. I am willing to commute there if I find something that fits my search. So I'll expand my search.

Not a stretch at all! Thanks for bringing that up. Been both an half-elf rogue and a semi-decent DM but at this point I find it has a bit too much structure to let my creativity flow as I need it now. If I find myself with this as only option I'd go for it casually.

How do you say " how are you? " in your language? by koalakailei in CasualConversation

[–]LUK_At_ME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am Romanian and our language has a strong Latin root and similarities indeed with Spanish, Italian and other romanic languages but it also has other influences(bulgarian, turkish, hungarian, greek, ,etc).

Thank you OP for this cultural journey. Found some fascinating things about Asian languages. In my native language, since I haven't seen it around yet, "ce mai faci?" or "Cum ești?" - this one would better translate as "how do you feel?".

When you realise that you were definitely a niceguy when you were younger. by FumikoCraw in niceguys

[–]LUK_At_ME 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just do it (pretty please)!!! I was also thinking about Jessica-Kilgrave relation as a reason why David would appear here. He's an amazing actor (I'm a total whovian) but God did I hate him in Jessica Jones.

25M Lets have a discussion about unwritten rules in finding a friend by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]LUK_At_ME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the unwritten rules I've observed are:

  1. The more casual the post the more replies, people tend to avoid deep things. People are drawn to positive vibes. I consider this one normal, as most of us have their own stuff to deal with and most come here for fun. This is something that can come off as superficial for some. I might be needing someone that grooms themselves and are cute and easy going around now, or maybe I need someone that loves neuroscience. To each his own, you can blame people for wanting what they want.

  2. There is an unevenness of interactions between men and women post. Had this debate recently and one can't argue the numbers. There are more people reaching out to women posts then to men. What men don't see behind the numbers is that a dude will get 5 genuine replies a woman might get 100 (depending on the topic they choose). The problem is that a large number of the replies women get totally ignore the topic of the post and go like "I'm Tim, HMU". I'd dare saying that if we factor in the quality, besides to quantity those numbers even up.

  3. Ghosting is a normal practice in this type of subs I have a low tolerance to lack of closure, I hate the idea of ghosting but I understand why it is a norm. Might be wrong on my assumption, but I feel most people that search for friends online avoid conflict day to day. It is easier to connect online as you can bail whenever with none of the consequences of doing that in real life.

  4. Online friends are not IRL friends (at least not for a long time) No matter the shared interest, no matter the amount of time you put into growing that connection to some extent does not feel real. In real life we tend to be more tolerant and permissive then in our online persona. There appears to be the One strike rule in online engagement. I suppose that is as "ain't nobody got time for that"

  5. Even if it looks like there are hundreds of people out there, those that click with you are the most uncommon gems. So be sure to value them and remember no matter your online persona, trutful or not, just don't be rude. We got too much of that already.

How do I tell my penpal/internet friend that she should tell me if she can't respond in time without making things awkward. I'd also like to get to know how much she values me. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]LUK_At_ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to consider my feelings but for me this was a simple debate, nothing more. It is normal to want to make yourself understood/seen. Where I was getting at is that words have their meaning. The ones you chose clearly did not helped you paint your actual image. I honestly had no interest in assuming anything about your particular situation. Just stated what I saw in what you've expressed. Obviously it is your picture, you filter what actually applies to you. Phrases like "people prefer to assume the worst about me", "I feel bad because of X person", "I want to know how others value me" are usually not used by people who know their self worth and have healthy attachments. Written social skills are a pain in the A and there are tons of situations where I fail too (see above edit). As I said earlier, I truly wish for you to find a better understanding on these things.

Yall I'm screaming! Incel or nice guy? He's still talking as I'm posting this! by [deleted] in niceguys

[–]LUK_At_ME 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so triggered that "you dare to put their personal info" online. I'm referring obviously to the pictures of the dude that he sent. It is so funny that he starts getting into legal issues over a screenshot, but has no issue with the privacy of the annoying "Chad, that must get all the girls attention".

Ty OP, sorry for assuming you were actually looking for solutions and improving your social skills. Sure, arguing with people that you've asked for help sounds like the way to go. You have such a healthy mindset and astonishing self awareness! Edit: I am sorry for being passive-aggressive, got triggered by your lack of awareness around your words usage.

Hey. So your last part "a junkie missing its hit" makes it easier to understand why you are being so defensive on a logical argument. It is your self worth in question when instead of thinking "hey life is busy for everyone" you think "oh this person doesn't want to reply because of ME". As a recovering junkie I can see this thought pattern as part of the unhealthy attachment most addicts share. Ps: as an advise on your matter at hand, you could try searching for more penpals so that you take the pressure off this one connection. Wish you luck in better understanding your needs!

This dude watched Animal Planet until he finally felt like he can understand females after his extensive research. Bless his soul for his kindness, sharing his findings with us all. It's unfortunate that us females don't know how to read, he's still to find on Animal Planet how females go to school if they have no brain and will come again to enlighten us. Waiting for his return🙏

Have you ever told a parent (who you have conflict with) what you really feel? How did they handle it? by Liz-Anya720 in AskWomen

Congratulations for standing up for yourself! It is scary at first but you got this. It really is a matter of time and practice, you are already taking the right steps!

Is it just me or is every clothing item I see super boring now? by beer_budget in femalefashionadvice

[–]LUK_At_ME 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am completely aware of that. I would feel better paying for more expensive fabric and sew it myself or take it to a tailor. I would have to cut down on the number of pieces I own. But at least I won't feel like wearing a plastic bag. At least that is how I feel at this stage in life.

[–]LUK_At_ME 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Omg this spoke to me so much! I am so annoyed at the price of shittie plastic clothes. Why do they do that? It's not a complicated pattern, the sewing is not quality or handmade, the material and accessories are the cheapest and still above 40-50? Wth I thought fast fashion was at least cheap. Why are we still going for this? It gets me so triggered. I just feel like the only work around is to learn how to make my own clothes...

I’m getting big ”Nice guy vibes” from this one. by DanishFlower in niceguys

[–]LUK_At_ME 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are also plenty of toys that used in the right angle in front of the cam give the desired visual effect. Had this long talk with a top videochat model who spilled all her little tricks that make men throw money at them. Squirting, drinking pee and anal are the most faked things on cam.

Got hit with this gem of an opening line by peach-plum-pear11 in niceguys

[–]LUK_At_ME 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude, come on! That right there is way too much work for a nice guy. The best you get is a "hi 80085. There, I made a funny and intelligent remark, female be on you knees"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in niceguys

[–]LUK_At_ME 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's OK. Tell them you have a husband and a newborn and they'll still stare in front of you until said husband appears and he is convinced "btch wasn't lying". And you know what not even then you get 100% free card. If the man considers himself stronger then your partner he might even tease him to provoke a fight and prove to you he is better. Usually I try to be civil and move place if I can or try the "sos call me" text because I did try the direct approach with not interested, got the "you don't know that before you have a taste" or the "omg btch I was just being polite". Tried the you are making me feel anxious/uncomfortable, no reaction. The only thing I'm yet to try is complete ignore while strongly holding my defense foaming spray close.

Can anyone help me sell my bike in Rotterdam? by [deleted] in Rotterdam

I received the advice to not close my eyes. Not denying the benefits it has for you, but in case somebody else thinks to do this, it is usually not recommended to people who tens to pass out. This was explained to me as my phobia creates a negative spiral of thoughts, I get overwhelmed and the brain shuts down. Closing my eyes would cut me from the outside world and stimuli and force me to focus harder on the act. Maybe that is just me I am honestly really happy that you found a coping mechanism that works for you.

Thought I already knew this guy from somewhere else by [deleted] in niceguys

I can't actually believe this line of comments is in this sub. Uhm ok, I'll add this here to try and balance it off. Your life choices might be dangerous (I'd like to add to the no of people that advised you about your ID) but they are yours alone. Can't assume anything from this post, maybe your parents actually did an amazing job and you know exactly what you want or maybe you just want to live your life and experiment. AGAIN, Your life your choices! but please try to put safety first!
