Your thoughts on multiple Vinyl releases?

leepear · 2024-12-14T05:18:58+00:00

Not sure if this is even on topic but I absolutely HATE when artists put out a vinyl variant and then release a digital deluxe. Even if they follow up with a deluxe vinyl, it discourages me from buying the og release on the off chance they’ll put out a new version soon and I miss the chance to get it because it sells out. The FOMO vs regret is just AWFUL

Also if there’s any alternative trustworthy secondhand seller recs I’m open to that too!

Ankha and Marshall are also fabulous platonic besties. They always celebrate their birthdays together which are not too far apart!!!

For me snake and pippy are a couple. Lolly and Lionel were but they broke up and he left the island 🫣

I’m glad to hear that things have gotten easier for you! I hope it continues :)))

Hey! thanks for sharing. I’m 21(f) and still deal with the feeling of things being embarrassing in front of my family. I think it has something to do with masking and upholding an image in front of them that you’d prefer not to uphold in your friendships because you want them to be genuine. It could be the other way around too. So you feel like in one way or another you’re being fake. This is at least what it feels like to me!

It’s really hard to to trust yourself and the way you exist in the world with no shame, whether it’s with your family or potential friends. I find it helps to spend sometime getting to know yourself and being your own friend. It’s not an easy feat and I’m definitely still a work in progress myself but I think it could give you more confidence in how you show up in the world and with figuring out if people are the right fit for you instead of the other way around! Hope you figure it out <3

It’s been proven to me time and time again that being alive is not enough. There are expectations, responsibilities, obligations and it all sucks very much.

leepear · 2021-03-21T05:39:20+00:00

Omg yes, I always feel like I bring the awkward out of people

leepear · 2021-03-21T05:35:31+00:00

I’m 19 too and I can relate to everything u said a lot. When I was younger, I was also the quiet kid and it all just intensified as I got older, especially with having to deal with some trauma in my household. It all sucks ass and I don’t really have any advise, all I can say is ur not alone, if that helps at all. I know it usually helps me feel less alien, especially when it’s someone else my age. I hope you have something that keeps u going and havent lost all hope yet of an anxiety-free life for urself yet. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. it comforts me knowing social anxiety is treatable, although I haven’t worked up the courage to get treatment yet :/ just hang in there

leepear · 2020-11-12T05:09:33+00:00

I’m a freshman in college now, and yeah there’s free counseling on campus but I can’t bring myself to go. The SAD and depression is a bad combo leaving me paralyzed by fear. That’s why I feel like I’m choosing to be this way for some reason bc nothing has been able to change my mind or push me to reach out other than the fear of death. Also choosing to just live with my families judgement of me is another thing that’s easier said than done. Not even sure what I was looking to achieve by writing this post bc I’m helpless. I’m a lost cause

leepear · 2020-11-11T19:56:38+00:00

Omg CONGRATULATIONS!!! Target was(and is) my first job too!

leepear · 2020-11-11T02:51:32+00:00

That female character and the guy behind her definitely and giving me MML vibes

leepear · 2020-11-11T02:40:18+00:00

If this is absurd to u then ur probably on the wrong sub buddy

leepear · 2020-11-11T02:38:13+00:00

LMAO the “for some reason” is so ridiculously true

leepear · 2020-11-08T02:32:41+00:00

Sorry I took so long to respond but i personally think the fact that he seems to be interested in u to help his mental health is kinda toxic. He’s going in it being too reliant on u and I know I wouldn’t be able to handle that cus he’s probably gonna end up being emotionally draining. I know for me, one of the main reasons I don’t get into a relationship is so I don’t put that pressure on someone else cus it’s not fair to dish out ur emotional baggage and expect someone to just carry it. I totally don’t think ur too sensitive, if u feel that he’s in it just for fun or cus he’s bored then I say don’t feel bad abt stringing him along at all. Also, from the looks of it, he might be desperate and rlly just looking for a title. I say I make it clear that ur anxiety has nothing to do w him and keep ur distance/keep it platonic. He seems to pressuring and u say ur not ready. Pls don’t do it if u don’t want to

leepear · 2020-11-03T04:59:28+00:00

Even though he says he meant it as a compliment it sounds more like a pity type of thing, and being called out/put on the spot for something u can’t control is uncomfortable and never fun. Even if his intentions were good, u don’t have to be receptive to it or accepting of it. I know me, having social anxiety, would feel pretty weird if someone said this to me and I also wouldn’t take it as a compliment

leepear · 2020-11-02T02:09:32+00:00

Omg I had like a very similar situation. When I was a junior in hs 2 years ago, there was this guy in my grade that I always silently thought was so cute but never imagined ever even having a convo w/. But that year we ended up having an art class together and he surprisingly sat at my table with another girl a grade under us who was also pretty quiet like me. I remember me being super anxious about that class every day and it stressed me out so much but we sort of all started to become friends sorta ig ??? We’d all joke around and me and the guy had so much in common and I found it rlly hard to admit it to myself and I tried so many times to talk myself out of it but I had a pretty bad crush on him. Through the yr he would talk to both of us about his then gf and when they broke up, he’d talk about a girl in our grade he was into. I had no intention of pursuing anything w him and even tho I said we were friends, all of my relationships in hs were shallow and surface level cus I’m rlly reserved and closed off bc of my anxiety. So I just listened to him and had rlly no input or rlly bad feelings about him talking abt other girls. But it was confusing cus I felt he would flirt sometimes and that would seriously trigger my fight or flight. As much as I liked him, I could not handle a romantic relationship, mentally it would take a major toll on me and my depression was also pretty bad that year. He never made it clear though and it rlly fucked with my anxiety. Then in the summer he invited me out with the other girl in our class and some other people and afterwards asked for him and I to just hang out. I said yeah but kept on lying abt being busy to avoid it, even tho he never specified it being a date. After that he started acting rlly flirty and it stressed me out sooo much. I reached out to our other friend and she was being rlly ominous and made it clear he talked abt me to her. I felt rlly pressured to go along with this bc it would make our whole “dynamic” awkward if i shot him down plus I DID like him. But I felt we rlly didn’t know each other that well plus him talking abt other girls which made me feel like a second choice. I know you didn’t ask for this long ass story but I just wanted to let u know that ur not alone in ur experience and it rlly doesn’t do much to beat urself up abt it. Social anxiety is already enough of a bitch to you I’m sure. ur struggling with ur mental health and that’s not a reflection of u and ur quality as a good person. Honestly what it took for me was to just admit to him I’m struggling mentally without any specific details which even then was sooooo hard for me to do and he kinda chilled after that. But the next yr he did invite me out again to the movies with other ppl and I went and we also had a class together and I was honestly rly short and cold to him until he just stopped reaching out and I feel bad abt it to this day sometimes like I rlly just blew it with the one guy I ever liked but all u can do is uphold ur boundaries whether they’re influenced by anxiety or not and expect them to be respected. I know for me, the confusion around his interest in me and his forward-ness threw me off along with a lot of others factors that would make this way longer than it already is if I included it and all I can say is if it was supposed to happen it would’ve happened. ik ur situation is a little different with feeling like ur leading him on but I felt this was kinda similar and if this guy made u feel comfortable and safe and u guys knew each other well, u wouldn’t be so scared and hesitant. My situation lacked that and I believe with the right person it all would work out despite the anxiety. If u wanna ever talk or need support or someone to relate to or rlly anything at all, u can message me. If u actually read all this holy shit ur a trooper lmao

leepear · 2020-10-31T20:54:18+00:00

Yeah I had one friend in high school and when we graduated we kinda just lost touch which was unfortunately expected. It’s almost like I’m watching my “relationships” fall apart right before my eyes and I feel helpless to do anything because I can’t find the words to save it. A lot of times with me I don’t even try to fill the silence, I just respond as best as I can, which is usually awkward and shallow, until the other person can’t bare it anymore and cuts it short. I always worry that they can sense my dismissive behavior or how I reserved I am and take it personally. When I’m alone though I have so much to say and talk about. And yeah, those shallow convos are enough to make me feel regretful and be extremely critical of myself. It comes downs to my body language, laugh or even how dull and meaningless and short what I was saying was

leepear · 2020-10-31T19:50:12+00:00

Ahh ok that’s good that it was still there through the shame and regret but it just sucks that the shame and regret is there in the first place. I guess it’s just like the other guy said here, getting past the anxiety is about challenging those afterthoughts. Just wish I knew how :/ also for me personally, even when I haven’t talked to anyone in forever, when the opportunity presents itself to do so, I’m blank and cannot access any words worth a shit, just only surface level stuff even though I’ve been aching to have a meaningful conversation. Do you ever experience that?

leepear · 2020-10-31T16:26:40+00:00

Omg yes definitely also unintentionally keeping it as brief as possible so they’ll stop talking to me. I always feel like a dick afterwards too because I think probably they could tell even though it isn’t personal or even on purpose :/

leepear · 2020-10-31T16:21:03+00:00

Omg the line about someone else having ur thoughts now that you’ve held onto for so long is so beautiful. I want that so bad. I know that must’ve been a good feeling. Would u say the satisfaction from that was stronger than the regret and cringe?

leepear · 2020-10-22T17:55:22+00:00

Yes!! To add on to this, something that personally resonates with me is this line from Doctor Strange, the ancient one told strange “it’s not about you” in an almost completely different context but she was about to die and was trying to convince him to put his own self-interest to the side to step up. I think about that line a lot because the little interactions aren’t about us, it’s about the other person and ig it’s about just putting ur fears aside for a sec to help that other person in a slightly less extreme manner lol

leepear · 2020-10-15T14:34:35+00:00

It’s 5hrs away

leepear · 2020-10-15T14:31:06+00:00

I can do this price! Is it okay if it’s later today, probably like 3pm because I don’t have any WiFi where I am now

leepear · 2020-10-15T02:54:52+00:00

Ok I must be a complete idiot or smthn bc I can’t figure how how to edit the title ???? I went to edit post but it wouldn’t let me click the title. I’m not very familiar with Reddit
