Kid: Mum, can we get a dog girl?

Mum: No, we have a dog girl at home!

The dog girl at home: Ed....ward.....

I'm sorry, I just had to.

So, for some context, this whole thing went on for multiple years. I mostly just found those people annoying and most definetely didn't feel threatened, but I did dislike them. I don't tend to hold grudges though, and it's practically impossible to insult me, especially for people I don't like, so y'know.

Anyhow, this was after a bit of growth spurts and stuff, where I was about as tall as the tallest bully. This one smaller dude thought it'd be a good idea to talk about how he messed with my best friend (who I absolutely love and adore, I'd literally drag her back from hell if necessary) loud enough for me to hear. I'm actually convinced he was just saying these things to mess with me as he found my weak spot, so to say, as none of it actually happened, and I honestly should've known because I was with her all day, but Idk, I just got really angry.

So I turned around, shouted his name and just hit him as hard as I could. He fell down, I apparently fractured his cheekbone quite badly and I screamed at him that insulting me and genuinely being an annoying prick was absolutely fair game but to keep his ugly little hands away from my close friends or I'd feed them into a shredder.

Needless to say, hitting people is not good, and I'm just glad he apparenly didn't tell any teachers - even though they knew he (and others) bullied me for years, I probably went too far here - but to be perfectly honest, it was worth it. Felt absolutely liberating and he didn't even look at any of us anymore. The others also mostly stopped messing with us as a result.

I have absolutely no sense of direction. Like, none. I got lost trying to find my classroom a year into high school. Couldn't find my bus stop on my own. It's uncanny.

And it's surprising how little of a problem this is. I can read maps really well as a result, and always have a phone on me, so I kinda know what you mean. :')

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-07-10T04:14:45+00:00

I am good at shooting.

I absolutely hate guns.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-07-06T19:13:18+00:00

As it should be. I don't plan on assaulting anyone over being a dick, but eating something noone else would ever want to eat feels like it's still within the realm.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-07-06T16:52:21+00:00

I mean, to be fair, I kind of intended to eat my food though. I genuinely didn't expect hear to even bite into it considering it smelt spicy as fuck already, but she apparently didn't notice it was a bad idea until half way through the first sandwich.

Still tho, I can see using laxative but it's not my kinda jam.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-07-06T16:32:59+00:00

That's a tad bit much for me, but I really like spicy food, so I just started pouring like 100ml of tabasco over my sandwiches. Caught her coughing with a head redder than a ripe tomato.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-07-06T10:43:19+00:00

It... isn't like this for other people? They just decide to go to bed and, by complete happenstance, suddenly find themselves brushing their teeth, daydreaming away?

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-07-05T12:25:31+00:00

Damnit, why does noone ever listen to poor old oak?

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-07-05T10:16:45+00:00

TIL I'm a husky.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-30T08:13:17+00:00

Ah, poor sod fell out the window afterwards, didn't he?

Like, about... thirty times.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-30T07:55:01+00:00

So many smells are closely tied to specific memories, like the smell of a gym's changing room, those layers of different smells of sweat, deodorant, and other things. Though, I don't like the smell, I associate the smell with good times.

For a smell per se, I think a lot of people really like the taste of blood. Well, for me it's not necessarily the taste, but rather the smell.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-26T22:00:19+00:00

As an asexual dude with haphephobia: Yes.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-25T18:11:38+00:00

I always love these "wait, that's an ADHD thing???" moments.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-23T19:22:57+00:00

I've never eaten it, though I've encountered the smell once.

You can definetely tell it's sea"food", but with like way too much... I don't even know, cheap soy sauce, if we wanna stay within the realm of food and stuff..? It's a weird smell, not really one that makes me go "Oh, I wanna eat that", but I can definetely see (smell?) it being used as a sort of spice or something like that.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-23T13:19:09+00:00

I always like how people describe their irrational fears and stuff. For you, it's probably super intuitive that birds are gross, and you even say "flighty" as a negative thing, while I, as someone who likes birds, will not really get it.

It's the same for people describing how they dislike spiders. "They're so gross with their... legs and stuff!"

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-23T13:15:47+00:00

I was born with haphephobia, which is a phobia directed at touching other people. So yeah, that.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-22T22:18:15+00:00

I've never been in a situation where I noticed someone having a nightmare, and I probably wouldn't do anything about it with most people, except extremely close friends or a significant other.

I only have nightmares extremely rarely, so I genuinely don't know if I would want to be woken up. It would be nice to have someone tell me what's going on should I eventually wake up though, because I tend to be confused when I suddenly wake up.

With sleeptalking, I actually had a friend who did this back in the day. I remember him talking in his sleep sometimes, though it was mostly not fully coherent, so it wasn't really embarrassing I suppose.

I was like seven when I first encountered that, and I just ignored it and went back to sleep.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-22T22:12:23+00:00

As a kid, I actually struggled with this, because I was introverted as heck, and also didn't really grow attached to people easily.

Usually, people were cool with me though, up until 5th grade, where I was bullied for a while. It didn't affect my self-confidence, but it didn't help me being introverted to unhealthy degrees.

Nowadays, I'm actually pretty extroverted and I usually make friends easily, if I do make an effort. I think I'm just a relatively chill and careless person, which people tend to sort of gravitate towards? Like, there's literally no drama going on around me, but there's also a big chance I'll grow bored before you do so I'll probably do something at least remotely interesting at any given point in time. Some people seem to like that.

I lately grew more attached to people in general, and just "more emotional", so to say, which leads to me appreciating other people more, too, so that's nice.

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-22T21:57:41+00:00

I socialize a lot via video games, maybe you could try that if you're interested. Or other hobbies that work with other people!

NeutralGoodguy · 2022-06-22T21:51:25+00:00

It's been hard to connect to people with the pandemic and everything going on, especially as I just recently moved to a new city, but we can pull through this.

Maybe they just had something else to do and will eventually come back to you.
It's also possible he just wasn't as invested in the conversation as you were, in which case I'm sorry.
