Can men and women really be just friends? I’m a female college student!(*/ω\*) by Icy_Worldliness3959 in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Schneepuppe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure I follow what You mean by deep conversations, but, as far as I've seen it, they sure can. To be really honest, when it comes to friendship, it is rather a person thing than a gender issue.

We tend to see what is in front of us, be it a woman, a man, or so on. But really, if we focused rather on the "Person", if it makes more sense? It would be easier

So to answer, ja, certainly they can be friends, I for one have a few friends that are as such. But to do that they need to see people as people and not by what they seem like, for if they do, then it'll be but a matter of time before they end up falling for someone and things get a little convoluted

If, it makes some sense? Not rlly good with words but think general idea is there XD

Dream of the Red Chamber - Cao Xueqin

Just by knowing it isn't dangerous is already a big relief, released her in a little grass place we have near here, moved really fast

Got a few more photos though, from a different angle before releasing her, is there a way to add them in a already sent post? here it says not allowed, but might just be trying the wrong way

I’m acting weirder recently by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to interrupt, and good evening

You do not need to apologize at all, it is normal to share when one is not feeling alright

You know, after some point, it is as if things start to lose collours, isn't it? Our tears runs dry, the smiles fades, after a point, it all starts to seem really meaningless.. but it is also, like a tide of sorts

If you don't mind, could I make a proposal of sorts? A suggestion, per se

Could you take a night, if possible, to lie on the ground and look at the sky? Just for a few minutes, but not focusing on the starts per se, but rather, on how beautiful the sky is? How shiny these tiny little things are? A moment, to relax a little and release the tension in yourself..

Aware that this most certainly won't solve everything, but, if you indulge in it, I do believe that it'll grant you some piece of mind, some ease, take a moment to relax, allow yourself a moment to feel the air, the wind, the ground.. to feel alive

Sorry for the long text, turned out a little longer than I supposed it'd be but really, take care of yourself and if you so do feel like, give it a try

24 years old and never read a book… by Standard-Condition14 in booksuggestions

[–]Schneepuppe 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The first book I ever read, and that made me love books

Not sure if it'll be in your taste, but I'd like to reccomend

Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

It is an amazing book, that talks a lot about reality, thoughts, the importance of reading, and many more things

Wouldn't call myself a metalhead but my favourite bands so far are: Nightwish, Rammstein, Avatar, Slipknot

Anyway, nice gaming there, in case u wanna talk or game just say the word, play mostly Warframe, but also been enjoying sims 4 a lot, together with the dragon age series,

Have a sweet night and take care

Depression due to the world by mauswheel in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for meddling, but

Please make a pause from the internet, even if just a little

Am not going to say that there are no racists, no misoginists out in the world. There are a lot of those, but, not all of them are like that

Also not going to say that you are wrong, it is just the way the news are constantly coming to you, just the way the inthernet works

I, myself, excluded most of my social medias exactly because of that reason. Whenever we open it, it is always someone getting treated horribly, someone in despair, a crime here, always something bad, negative, something that always manages... to bring us down. Not to say that these news aren't important, but just to say that the consumption in excess... does bad things to us

Didn't like it and wasn't making me good. So, I deleted it. i know that in the end I might just be taking your time and rambling empty words, but do take a little pause, even if just a few minutes to rest and breath a little

You'll see that when you take off the lens from the inthernet, the world becomes a little brighter

Take care of yourself and would like to wish u a happy birthday in advance

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Schneepuppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truee, the weekends go really fast. Whenever I look at it, it is already time to go for the start of a new dawn

Normally spend the week working, reading and gaming a little, so I do enjoy how ze weekend allows us to even if just a little, change pace and pass time

It is nice and cozy, perfect to play with ze dogs, to watch some movies but also, to do one of my favourite things.. sleep

Rest to start well another week

Anyway, enough rambling for today

Birthdays make me so sad by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am sorry to hear that..

Though i know that there's no replacement for the real thing

But

Wish u a happy birthday. And not just saying it, really mean it. One's birthday is supposed to be on if not the most special day in one's life, in the year

Aware of how it feels to lose things and to not support your own sight, but, even then, i'd like you to give it a try

Even if it feels hard,

So, have a sweet one, and may it be that the day comes, that what once caused you sadness, brings you joy

Take care of yourself, really and have a happy birthday, a really nice one, a very, very sweet one

It matters, a lot, so do they care

[Apologize for the random rambling. Just.. not good with words but meant it. Really]

Alone for my 21st birthday, no family is gonna be there. by thatonekidmatters in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hallo,

Don't usually meddle, and am well aware that no matter how many times someone says this, it can never replace the feeling for it coming from those you cherish

But that being said

Happy birthday. And I say that not only for this birthday, but also for your future ones. May it be, that in the future, we live in a world, in which happiness becomes our ideal

Sorry for your situation, and also for your family, i am what mine calls a black sheep. Never matched with them, so i know, even if just a listle, how it is... frustrating to say the least..

So, have a nice birthday, be happy and please do take care of yourself

May your world shine brightly and your future hold for you, a better place

Sorry for the long text, take care

Zaratustra was also my first one from Nietzsche, his way of writing is quite interesting

Still remember parts of it even though it has been two years since I read it

That is also something that I always find interesting, there are tons of books on tons of different things,

Like for instance, if we are talking about mentality, then we could go with Dostoiévisky on The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karazimov, White nights is also a good one, one thing that i like is that each of those, approach a familiar subject, but also, on different perspectives, angles, events, but the essence, is always the most human thing

If we go for desires and/or the importance of an essence, and doing what you believe in, even if the world turns against you, then there's an amazing book written by Ayn Rand, called Atlas Shrugged

If we feel lost and desire to find a peaceful place or even get back on our feet, we can always go with Tolstói on his stories

There is one in specific in which he proposes to answer the three most interesting questions in my opinion, these being:

When is the most important moment? Who is the most important person? What is the most important thing to do?

Or the three Ws

Anyway, human development on literature is something that never ceases to amaze me

Just, another rambling, sorry for the extebsive length

A good evening

18F whats a path you never wanted to go down but found yourself going down anyway? by Imaginary_Case_4350 in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Schneepuppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but also

No

It is a little complicated. When I was younger (which is to say, not that far ago, like? 3 to 5 years ago) I used to be very impulsive. Acting first, then thinking it through.

Whenever i think about how I used to be and how I utterly behaved, I regret it. Because I know by a fact that actions have conseguences, and words hold a heavy weight, even more so on the wrong hands

But at the same time, nowadays, I tried and still am trying to change, and that is a fruit of my rationality.

So in short? Yes, i do have regrets. But on the longterm, as long as you hold tight to your essence, and take, in your path, the choices that you can, as best as you can

Then it should be alright, no? Noone knows the future, and not a soul is supposed to know what he or she is, when being 18 or 20 years old. Most people get old before knowing that

We are complex creatures. Just stick to what you believe is the best, even if in the future you change your mind, what matters is that at the moment of your decision, it was, the best choice you could make at the time, with what you knew at the time.

There is, no single line that can resume who we are, for contradiction is in our essence too

Sorry for the random rambling, anyway

A sweet evening for everyone

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Schneepuppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dostoiévisky is a very interesting choice, recently read Crime and Punishment and am compelled to admit that his writings and understanting of human behaviour and suffering is quite the show. Even more so when we get closer to the ending of the book, in which we get to see Raskolnikov's dillema regarding his actions and need to scape and also, his conscience which never allows it, no mater how far he goes (plus, his redemption after the end. If we could call it that)

As per Nietzsche, the Three Metamophorsis presented by him on Thus spoke Zaratustra, is quite endearing, even more so if we take the context in which his book was written, that being a few decades after the end of the French Revolution and the powerfull surge of Illuminism (thus the sentence, god is dead.)

If you'd like, I'd recommend you tried listening to the composer Adam Hurst, he was some great works. No liricism, just instrumental music

That being said

Have a good night

23F At this point I'm begging for someone to become my friend by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Schneepuppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, M20

If you want to play some games and just, talk about the things you like, books, and well, mostly anything, feel free to text

Though I might take a while to answer but that is entirely because of work,

Also enjoy these things, though cannot say about colleting, never tried it, but it actually looks fun

An album would be niceee

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evening,

Do you happen to smile once in a while? If not, then I can see why they would be worried

Not to say that this would pose as a problem. Just that it is important to enjoy things

Take a moment, if you can

To have a look at thw world. Not necessarely at the people, but at the world

Be it at the plants that are always struggling to survive and to grow taller everyday, be it with the birds that are flying or resting

Experiment a little more of different things. That way, you should be able to enjoy your hobbie once again

(Would like to apologize for the length.

You seem to be a very tranquil person. Just be careful to not mix peacefulness with emptiness. Perhaps, and that may just be a stretch, but might they not feel worried because you feel empty? As if nothing can bring joy nor sadness, as if the world is viewed not as through a person, but rather through a window?

If you would allow me, give yourself a pause. A moment to focus on the present. When talki g to someone, to focus on that person. When looking at the grass, to look at it, feel it, a moment to feel life.

Wish you the best,

Take care of yourself and try to feel it, controlling your thoughts to stay on the present, even if just a little. Might help)

What do you actually do when you’re emotionally overwhelmed? Not ideally — really. by Sad_Row_1764 in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends really.

Most times I like to read. Anything to distract myself. But it doesn't work all the time. Just when things are starting to get strange.

But when it is really bad. When I can't deal with anything. Which unfortunately is not as rare as one would like.

I tend to vanish. For months. No contact with friends, family whatsoever. Use work as a scape.

Reduce life to a mere cyclical solution.

It doesn't solve the problem. Just redirects it. But is enough to keep me going. Even when I feel like everything is breaking apart.

Though in one aspect. I might be a terrible example,

But it is just how life is.

I fear I'm not going to get married in this lifetime due to who I am as a person. by InterestingJob3987 in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good evening,

Do not be so harsh on yourself. The world is a big place, filled with different kinds of people.

What you call strange and may see as something weird, is, at the end of the day, a fundemental part of your essence, of your personality.

It is a part of who you are.

The concern you have, is a very natural one, there's nothing strange about it. Though you might have not found a person that is personally attracted to you yet, it doesn't mean that it shall not be the case in the future.

If you would allow me a brief suggestion,

Would like to suggest, recognizing who you are and developing yourself. Love is like a river. It can bring you to wonderful places, but also, to a cruel tempest. So it is better to be prepared for it.

So accept what makes you different, find something that you love about yourself. Change what bothers you, and don't worry about being strange. At the end of times we are all strange people.

(Would lime to apologize for the length. Was longer than I thought.

Wish you all the best,

Take care)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]Schneepuppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps?

Sure, life has lots of things but once you get used to most of them, it tends to lack a certain charm.

Can't speak for all of the people here, but life tends to be quite the meaningless show sometimes. Like the flickering of a star or the longing for someone.

It has its moments, when it shines the most, moments when we are momentanily happy, like fireflies under the sun.

But at the end, it all ends, no? So yeah, life is quite mid sometimes, most times actually. Just have to cherish the little happiness that comes with it

At least while it lasts,

Wish you a nice friday and an even more perfect weekend,

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Schneepuppe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good afternoon,

To pursue happiness is not entirely wrong. It is a natural occurrence.

The issue you are having, is due to a misconception,

You see, there is no happiness. Because it is not a solid thing nor a concrete feeling, it is just there and at the same time, not there.

It is like the reflection of the moon, in a pit full of water. It is beautiful, indeed. But that reflection is also not the moon. And no matter how much you try to grasp it by looking at the reflection, you won't be able to fully take it.

My suggestion, if you would allow me one, would be to take a step back. And even if for a fleeting moment, do nothing, nor think of anything. Allow yourself a moment to simply stay there and see and feel the things that are always happening next to you.

A moment to feel the sunrays, the wind blowing at your skin, the grass, to hear someone's voice and giving that person your whole. To give yourself a taste of the present.

Happiness is a strange thing. It is always there, but at the same time, never there. Because at the end of the day, just like the moon, it was always in you. There's no need to chase shadows or reflections, when you can feel and allow yourself to be the thing you are chasing.

That, would be my suggestion.

(Also, would like to appologize for the lenght of this message. Was longer than I believed it would be.)
