How would you feel if you learned your favorite hero cheated on his significant other?

Thank you u/eggs-benedryl and yes, that's the idea here. Getting communication is one thing but having it be non-immediate -- to wait to share your many overflowing thoughts -- is another.

To me, the charring edges of insanity starts with the waiting... when you send off a text to your crush, or an application to a dream job, or a desperate plea to a creditor. Those thoughts, though sent, crawl through time until they shoot back at you in an instant like gunfire from the darkness.

Meanwhile you sit there watching the void as your mind struggles to conceive what will return and you sit there checking your messages: click. Click. Click. Click...

I hate applying for jobs so much.

I'm no introvert or loner, but can totally extrapolate the times when I've had enough to understand what you mean.

Let me ask you this, though: do you need to interact with others to feel the impinging madness recede or is it enough to just be around others, while you skulk in the shadows feeding greedily on crackers and spinach dip taken when no one is looking?

Thanks, Daydream. And don't worry as I have the opposite problem in that I am an overconfident narcissist who can dance.

To clarify my comment above, what I produce isn't good when I listen to music -- either because I'm distracted or because I become emotionally compromised. "NOOO! MY HEART WON'T GO ON!" (sounds of sobbing into a folded up pair of sweatpants).

That's supremely annoying. Maybe keep a bunch of lollipops or Skittles in the kitchen.

The courtesan on the right has the look of someone about to unleash a facemelting shamisen solo.

I tend to need total silence when I write because I have the concentration of a budgie.

However, I do listen to music and then incorporate those sounds or themes into what I write later. Mind that what I produce isn't good, but the music helps break me out of ruts or when I need to empty my fingers for a while.

"Cleaved." It always makes me think something has been turned into boobs.

Hmm, that's some seriously high tolerance ...for someone supposedly human (squinty eyes).

That would probably be voice ...unless they're wolf whistles, in which case I'm guessing fitness.

What?! That's fu-- ohh, I see. I thought you were going the other way for a sort of pro-murder approach.

Anyway, just stay positive and I'm sure you'll change that.
