-
@yodelerty juan-t -> "want"
-
@northernnarwhal you want me???????
-
@northernnarwhal blushu
-
@yodelerty huggu~
-
@northernnarwhal I want your huggus pls :C
-
@yodelerty You get all my huggus :D
-
@northernnarwhal but not in the irl location
-
@yodelerty You know if I could I would
-
@northernnarwhal yeahhhhhhhh :///
-
@yodelerty If only we knew each other when I visited Alberta a few years ago
-
@northernnarwhal Yeah but then I was even more of a loser so you wouldn't have enjoyed my company anyway
-
@yodelerty Meh, I kinda hate the person I was in the past too. Like even me from a year ago is pretty different compared to me now.
-
@northernnarwhal That surprises me, honestly. But I guess people change quickly. Even the person I was a year ago was worse. Much worse. I shudder at the thought
-
@yodelerty The Tyler that joined RDN and the Tyler that currently logs onto RDN are two different people. I imagine me from the past would be probably hate a lot of me in the present.
-
@northernnarwhal That's okay. I think that might be a good thing. Present you is amazing anyway so past you can suck it.
-
@yodelerty I wonder if future me will have similar disdain towards present me
-
@northernnarwhal I guess we'll find out. Hopefully not because present you is too good
-
@yodelerty Present me might disagree with that
-
@northernnarwhal but why
-
@yodelerty Because I have crippling self doubt and no concrete plan for my future
-
@northernnarwhal True, but self-doubt is natural I think. And you're only 17 so there's no big rush to decide what you want to do. Take your time and enjoy yourself. Expand your skill set. Something will click. I know it.
-
@yodelerty Sometimes I seem to lose sight of or even reflect on what it is I actually want out of life and usually the more I think about it the more depressed I get.
-
@northernnarwhal I know that all too well. If I knew how to manage those emotions I'd tell you. Life's confusing. But you're a really smart guy. I know you'll figure something out. And if you don't, it's okay. It'll work out.
-
@yodelerty You certainly have more faith in me than I do
-
@northernnarwhal I think it's easier to believe in others than ourselves. So that makes sense
-
@yodelerty That makes sense, especially with the idea of us projecting our ideas of the ideal human onto other people around us
-
@northernnarwhal Eh? Not sure what you mean there
-
@yodelerty Like, you know how we idolize people? ("x is so beautiful" "x is so talented"). Basically, we take our ideas of what makes a flawed human being more perfect and associate them with people we look up to and admire.
-
@northernnarwhal Ah. I didn't think of that. That makes a lot of sense. You really know your stuff.
-
@yodelerty Aw shucks, I dunno about that. I don't think I'm all that smart or anything.
-
@northernnarwhal I know you don't. But the thing is you're wrong. You're really smart. I can see it in you everyday through what you say and do. Your intelligence shines through a lot more than you realize.
-
@yodelerty Oh man, you're too kind <3 Thank you.
-
@northernnarwhal You're very welcome, Ty. I 100% mean everything I say and believe it to be true. Just so you know.
-
@yodelerty To be honest I'm not used to receiving so many compliments o-o Usually I just do.
-
@northernnarwhal You're going to get a lot more if you keep being your awesome self <3
-
@yodelerty I don't know how to deal with praise. A lot of the time I feel I either don't deserve it or that I'll never be satisfied with anything I do creatively.
-
@northernnarwhal Believe me, you do deserve it. And if you're never satisfied you'll always be pushing to do better. That's the positive side.
-
@yodelerty You're more than likely right about all this, I'm just one of many people who deals with harsh auto-critique
