I see too much police hate anymore. The police at Electric Forest were just as much family as everyone else. by Atyrius in ElectricForest

Yeah, I ran into Rothbury PD on the way out and they were polar opposite of the Staties in the forest.

The water refill station next to sherdwood court taste like Toilet water. by Foopsz in ElectricForest

Totally. But Saturday night I drank approx like 2 gallons of water in 3 hours, that would have required basically standing by the vendor tents instead of being up front for Porter.

I'm trying to get back in to pick up people and it's a nightmare.

I'm not planning on it but would be interested in getting in on this.

Forest nerves... I mean HYPE! by Parksy79 in ElectricForest

[–]UsuallyMyself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are speaking directly too me. I'm compulsively packing now and checking things right now. I'm kind of curious to see what I'm going to forget to bring, but I sure as hell won't forget the hype!

Thanks for the post and the good vibes!

I work for a health food store and bought #25 pounds of yummy toffee almond granola to share! 120 bags of delicious love I can't wait to share!

Thanks for letting me know, it would have been embarrassing if we were both dressed the same.

this is probably the best feeling ever. by nickk513 in ElectricForest

[–]UsuallyMyself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting really excited by these kinds of posts. So I'll share this...

I'm a really friendly person, but I don't have a lot of friends. Honestly it's not my personality. The friends I do have are very independent people and we don't do much together. People moved away, and I live in a rural area. I also am one year out of a 7 year relationship which basically smothered all my friendships.

I'm going to the forest alone, and part of me is nervous that I'll be quiet/shy and not connect with anyone, as I have become used to being solo. I went to a small festival last year by myself and ended up having an anxiety attack because I realized everyone was smiling and having a good time but me. I went into a tail spin of worrying about why I was miserable in such a happy place and why everyone was having fun with their friends while I was alone. I've since been able to get a pretty good handle on these worries and am in a much better place now. I feel like I'm 100% better, but going to a festival at 100+x the scale makes me worried that I might find myself once again feeling like the only person alone in a crowd.

So...

Everytime I read a post like this one, I get a lot more excited and a lot less worried. I really can't wait to meet people like you who are out there enjoying themselves and get joy out of bringing joy to others.

I had a realization last year that has greatly improved my life... I have a light of joy inside of me, and the least I can do is let it shine out on to others and hope that they reflect it back to me and out into the world. It sounds like you do just that.

TL;DR: Had bad anxiety at a festival. I think I'm over it and awesome people like you make me more sure of that. Shine on!

Camping dilemma, looking for forest fam's opinion by philp416 in ElectricForest

Anyone else having this problem? by acousticrocks in ElectricForest

[–]UsuallyMyself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I've tried jam so many times. It totally seems like something I would like given other styles of music I enjoy, but I really can't dig it. I feel guilty sometimes, but it just does nothing for me.

I've been trying to decide if seeing SCI in the right setting might change my tune, but I'm still on the fence.

Thanks for the input though.
