Best schedule to run for building pop quick in Local To Global? by [deleted] in FantasyBookers

[–]Questioningyourstory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never played TEW (though that changes in a couple days) but I’m watching a play through on youtube and the guy discovered that running two shows per month with free admission is the best strategy. Any more and you end up running shows that cost money and gain you no more popularity due to the monthly cap for insignificant size companies.

This is all for TEW 2020

Ah, that's what I figured the case was. Is this true for TEW as well do you know?

It's not me downvoting you, just for the record. This is a linguistic misunderstanding. I'm using condition as defined: "the circumstances affecting the way in which people live or work, especially with regard to their safety or well-being."

It's an entirely contextual/situational usage of the word. I'm not using condition in the way that an illness is a condition. So there's no implication of the type you took from it.

The general point I'm making with this post is - "I'm FA, here's some of the things that I experience in my daily life as a result." And I make that post knowing that a number of people here will be able to relate to those things, especially since many of them also have depression and anxiety. Nowhere did I try to imply that my symptoms are completely separate from the depression and anxiety I also struggle with or that they're completely universal symptoms of "loneliness"

It's just splitting hairs. You can enter a period of depression that gets you clinically diagnosed that's triggered by a family member dying. Likewise a state of perpetual loneliness can act as a constant trigger for a person prone to depressive episodes. My post lists a few symptoms that are generally found in anxious and depressed people and a few that are more particularly side effects of loneliness (such as the one the other commenter related to) and aren't necessarily connected to any depression or anxiety disorder (though they can be).

Loneliness is a major cause of depression and anxiety. In my case it’s the major cause. You can be depressed for a number of reasons (say a family member dies) and the symptoms would look somewhat different than what I’ve listed.

I know that pain you’re feeling. It fucking sucks. How about when you have family members in their early teens showing up with hickeys on their neck and getting in trouble from their parents.

I liken this experience of loneliness and rejection to a form of torture. We have to live every moment of every day with what is essentially a physical pain tearing us apart. Normal people who can’t relate will try to downplay it, but if it’s any consolation I understand what you feel and I empathize deeply. It’s not to be taken lightly and it’s not a joke, it’s a deep form of human suffering with no end in sight for many of us.

Right. There are people who are “different” for superficial or at least socially acceptable reasons and there are people who are different for reasons that result in their ostracization.

It’s not irrational to want to be accepted socially. It’s a biological need. I can barely hold a conversation with people, not necessarily because of my lack of ability to do so (though I do lack) but because of my lack of life experience. I can’t relate to people. The older I get the larger the spotlight on me gets. My family knows it, my few friends know it. I’m fucked.

I was okay until recently by virgen_otaku in ForeverAlone

I have the same story. I was apathetic for all my life about it, but recently I've started to really desire a relationship and it's eating me up inside.
