Some great points here Cult Lewder, we seem to be on a similar wavelength. I'm also someone who prefers a brutally honest approach to situations, I'd rather someone be like that with me rather than meander and be indirect. That sort of stuff confuses me, especially since I struggle to interpret body language and tone of voice etc. Bluntness seems to be the best way to get me to understand stuff.

As for the boring situation I think someone would find me interesting if we had similar interests. I wouldn't consider myself quirky though I do have my eccentricities I suppose-I'd have to ask my friends on that regard.

Pretty much the exact same reasons as me there however I feel I have to throw in that I respect someone who can be honest a lot more than someone who can’t. I completely agree blunt is best though. Not necessarily insultingly blunt but still undoubtedly blunt. As an example (I’ll go with this one as I mentioned clothes earlier) let’s say the get up is completely awful. I could totally go for “the clothes clash, if looks like you just grabbed whatever was to hand” rather than just something like “you look stupid” it also helps that in this one the former also explains an issue there.

Yeah with bluntness it needs to be backed with honesty and information, otherwise it just feels insulting and unhelpful. Your example is key evidence of this, being honest but vague doesn't help anybody in a given situation.

I’m very glad you understand, it amazes me how the distinction can go right over some peoples heads. Tbh I don’t understand how it does.

Just to make it worse the guy looks like Elvia but couldn’t carry a note, even using the proverbial bucket.

People are people so why should it be? And all that...
 
Does anyone want to trim this down a bit? Kind of feel we went off on a tangent there for too long. Apologies for not staying on topic here!
 
Watching AoT Season 2 again in prep for the third season and feeling like one myself stomping around my room exterminating nats. A huge moth was flapping around earlier and now it's mysteriously disappeared

After picking up a stomach bug last weekend I've now managed to get a f***ing cold in the hottest period of the year! 😷

Tell the sickness it has the wrong time of year and see if it goes away? Please note; if it comes back during winter tell it it has the wrong year. Then decade etc. What could go wrong?

So then you're 11 or 12? :D

Heh, I'm almost 60 and my bedroom still needs cleaned pretty badly. It's not really that cluttered, It's just that with living alone, I tend to neglect the vacuuming and dusting - for like, years... :eek:

Thanks! :D

(I'm actually 30... bwahaha)

EDIT: I saw something but I think I imagined it. Sorry. I'll probably go bed now.

I’ve reached the final strew with this heatwave. My chocolate is melting ;_;
I’ve hastily thrown it into the fridge as a means of salvation, but in the meantime who or what do I have to sacrifice to make the heat go away?
