    I feel like I have 2.
    First one is that I have no dreams, no aspirations, no goals and I'm living my life one day at a time in the most mundane ways. I'm fine with how it is.
    Second one is a secret haha.

    I suck at socialising, and “No, It’s not that I don’t want to talk to you, it’s just I don’t know what to talk about besides the weather”. I’ve been told (by my parents) that I seem snobby because of it.

    tbf, it's the fastest way to earn nuffies (and lost them).

    IF you plan to join the fun, I advise setting a limit. My personal limit is that if I lose 1k nuffies, I'd stop for that week. Also, alternate your bets, you'd usually lose more than you win. Lastly, if you just wanna play and don't wanna aim for rankings, you can just bet the 50ñ you get from freemoney. You're not really losing anything since you didn't work hard for those nuffies. If your 50ñ grew, you can have more blackjack funds

    I think there’s a lot of things about me my parents have never been able to understand. Things that I’ve slowly come to terms with as being a part of who I am, and aren’t strange or abnormal, and that people like Mr. Hamster accept, even if they don’t necessarily understand. For example, I grew up being told after I’d forgotten something that if it were important, I’d remember it, even though I knew the thing I forgot was important. Or how I’d be scolded for asking someone to repeat themselves, either because I didn’t hear it the first time, or because I heard something slightly different that didn’t make sense. Or how everyone hated how literal minded I am and couldn’t understand why my mind works that way. A lot of the things that I was scolded for were things I later found out were probably caused by my undiagnosed ADD. With the internet, it’s become easier to find people with similar experiences. I just ran into a thread on Reddit within the past couple days full of people who’ve experienced something similar to me which I’d never run into before. It was cathartic in its own way. I suppose there are still things about me no one understands, but I’m not going to bring those up here.

    That I don't mean anything else, I'm just socially anxious...

    Sometimes I'm tempted to say please don't take it personally, I do this to everyone but I'm too shy to say it? but that's rude

    Blackjack is like driving. Some people crash the car but blame the road...
    Long ago, it kinda frustrated me when people accept but don't understand. Because there's a part of me that want them to understand how it really is for me. But then, as years pass, I just accepted the fact that you'll never be fully understood by other people and occasionally, even by yourself.

    ... I'm still frustrated about it sometimes but yah, ig acceptance is good enough.

    Rather than other people not understanding me, it's more like I don't understand myself.

    It's like I'm good at doing something but I don't want to do it because it feels like the world is telling me to do it by making me good at it. I want to feel free, like I have my own choice, but I think I enjoy doing what I'm good at most, so I feel conflicted. Felt that feeling ever since I was a kid.

    Should I become who I'm supposed to be, or should I be who I want to be.

    Is it selfish to want to be different simply for the sake of it, for a something that has no true reason, only childish defiance.

    Am I hurting myself in trying to unburden myself?

    Or is purpose and fate and burden not so bad. I fear I may not know or decide until it is too late.

    That's not true, the actual story's quite different, but it was a nice line to end on.

    Same, except it's "No, I want to talk to you but you seemed perplexed when I explained that red and violet leaved trees have chlorophyll in them but in smaller rates so the other pigments shine through and if that's uninteresting then what is interesting to talk about?"

    My dad won't accept and doesn't understand that when I've hit my socializing limit, I take a break and read. I explained to him, multiple times, in detail, that there's no point to forcing myself to talk to the others, because I won't be able to do so smoothly, and I take a break so I can later come back with energy to have a meaningful time socializing.
    It's ridiculous cuz my mom understands, but he, this guy who doesn't have any friend he's still in contact with and even avoids spending time with his own kids at home, is scolding me that people will think I'm autistic because I read when people are present.

    Are we long lost twin brothers or something?

    Or this is what normal is?:blobjoy:


    Same I don't have any aspirations other than a comfort life

    But the second is that I have this bipolar thing where sometimes I'm really really quiet....and sometimes where I talk nonstop..

    Everyone who knows me, asks me at one point "why do you suddenly get so energetic?" :blobjoy:


    Well I'd like to think its those times when I exit my world and enter real world I become active and feel like catching up to what happened. :blobjoy:

    I don't like to depend on or be intimate with people in general, so I just think of them fondly from a distance. I like being in my own world.
