Why do YOU like visiting AUKN?

OT

Similar reasons as to why most others are here. So I can dicuss anime and manga. My partner and friends get tired of my one way anime discussions with them all the time. I don't care mostly like. I know their not listening but at least I got to talk to someone about the awesome series I might be watching.

Reading some of the stuff that people come out with on this forum is also rather entertaining. XD

I'm glad you agree.
 
Here you go then. It was a lot longer but I like to think before I post. Also I have a business to run here.

And, no Ayase, I'm not confusing or difficult to understand. Human actions and thoughts contradict each other. Mentally I want to distance myself from others, live on a mountain in some far off land and die like a wolf, but my heart has other ideas. It's said that humans can't live alone - it drives them crazy - and it's true. There's no middle ground between my dislike of myself and others and my hidden desire to be talk to others.

Okay then, you're conflicted. My point that you need to decide what it is you want is still valid, and this goes out to everyone in the forums and the whole world. If you don't get on with people and want to be alone then have the goddamn strength to just do it. If however, you want human contact, you have to compromise and be civil towards people in order that they have the desire to maintain that contact with you.

Edit: As to the morality point, Derfel clearly has some strongly held beliefs that I'm not likely to change, and I'm sure we could happily debate them 'til the end of time. However, I'd like to use the time between now and the end of time for something else so on this occasion I'll agree to disagree. ;)
 
...You like to think for hours before posting? Damn, I thought Fabio had issues!

I was very civil to you. I even typed you ten paragraph messages to show my willingness to communicate with you. But you broke my heart and made me more reclusive by ignoring my message and the emotions contained within, forcing me to become more vindictive and hateful to everyone.

And, FYI, whether you talk to or don't talk to people on the net you're still alone. Typing messages to people in the distance who might as well be illusions for all you know about them doesn't count as socializing. Like I said, it eases boredom but nothing more.

You may be alone physically but not menatlly. Typing to one another may as well be like a converstaion over a telephone, only it takes longer and words can be miss read ¬_¬
Your never really alone though.
I'm here for you brother!! *opens arms*

I like to spend most of the time thinking. :p

You can choose to feel alone or not. It's up to you. If you think of human contact (albeit distant) as a way to pass the time and nothing more then why should you expect anyone spend their time talking to you? They might as well be illusions but, yeah, they aren't. They're thinking, feeling people at the other side of the screen. We'll resume our MAL ramblings next time I'm bored - Maybe I just need a few months to come up with a reply...
 
Being alone is a choice no-one wants to make because, subconsciously, humans want to be next to each other in order to kill and steal from each other until the end of time. It isn't something you choose to feel.

It's possible to feel lonely in a room full of others - more lonely than when physically alone - but true lonliness is no longer knowing how it feels to not be lonely. If you isolate yourself long enough, it becomes unnatural to be around others.

I don't give a damn anymore what people think of me on the net. That's exactly why I wind-up/torment others for my own amusement. I like some more than others - otherwise I wouldn't talk to them - but I view no-one as a friend. When there's no risk involved a relationship isn't real, and that's why I'll never take the internet too seriously. Internet "friendships" at at the click of a button, with no damage done, and that makes them fake.

And, anyway, becoming overally friendly with me just results in me talking/crying about myself too much. Take Fabio's word for it. It's best for everyone if I'm kept at a distance.

I agree. And I have been in that position and the experience has hardened my heart considerably. But I made the conscious decision to change my circumstances because I realised (through having spent so much time alone, thinking) that at the end of the day most things people worry about or agonise about are, in fact, pretty meaningless. We all have an inflated sense of our own importance within the world and the best thing to do is whatever you want to do.

But I don't agree here. Where's the increased risk in an RL relationship? That someone will hit you if you piss them off or stop sleeping with you? Compared to mental anguish, physical pain is fleeting and soon forgotten. I view friendship as simply enjoying someone's company, physical or via other methods of communication.

If you don't care what people think about you, why do you build your own persona? You could just create an account with a random name, no information, no avatar, nothing. But you didn't, did you? You had to tell us that your favourite game is FF VII and you had to tell us that we are uninteresting. You clearly are building your own image by influencing our view of you.

I now understand why you dislike Death Note so much.

I don't quite get that. Would you please explain the connection between the two?

In general tems, humiliation is the risk. Saying something stupid, doing something wrong, postioning myself awkwardly, not using my hands to express myself correctly, not manipulating my voice to fit the mood - all these things play on my mind. And when nervous, bad things tend to happen more frequently, even more so when you happen to be stupid.

In terms of relationships, be it friendship or otherwise, the relationship going sour is the risk. When you don't have many "links" (this is what Persona causes) it's easy to worry about losing the few friendships you have. When thoughts like that are in my mind, it causes stress. So, for me, it's far easier not to have any relationships, or as few as possible in order for me to not stress over every little thing. I guess I enjoy life more the colder I am towards others, despite part of me wanting to do the opposite? I dunno.

Online the risk doesn't exist. You can be disliked or thought of as stupid but that's where it ends. Unless you do something stupid and give you information away to the wrong people, there's no risk of the internet and real life connecting. An internet identity can be discarded like a mask, and most do use their internet IDs as masks, which is why so few people use their real names.


Law&Order: I hate to break it to you but liking FFVII doesn't make me an individual. There are millions of FFVII fans in existence, all claiming that FFVII is the greatest game in existence. Since I didn't pick something not so well known, it wouldn't of hurt my chances of making "friends" had left it blank.

But, to answer your question, I'm pretty sure I filled out the 'favourite' section out because I had the option of answering the questions when I signed up.

As for your Death Note question, I could tell you but I'd rather leave you a quote from a cinematic masterpiece: "You're a smart boy, why don't you sleep on it?"

Hint: Think about my original nickname for you and think about what Light Yagami does in Death Note.

1, Not once have I mentioned friends.
2, You got bogged down in the irrelevant bits. Its not about whether you chose FF VII or another game, its the fact that you chose a game.

And you had the option of not answering it. You know very well what your favourites are, therefore it can only be for others to read.

Umm he craves for testicles? On a serious note: I have neither time nor patience for your cryptic rubbish.
 
If you didn't have the time, you wouldn't respond in the first place telling me you don't have the time to play with me.

We can both play with the words of others in order to attempt to come across as semi-intelligent. In your case all it shows is your condescending nature. No-one cares that you study law, just like no-one cares that you created a website to moan about creations of God, like Death Note.

Why didn't I use my real name? Because my mother picked it and Daniel is boring. Why did I answer questions? Boredom. That's all there is to it. I don't really care if people call me Aion or Daniel at the end of the day - Daniel is a name I dislike and Aion is a fictional character I thought was cool when I was younger.
