How can I possibly know the truth regarding relationships and people without exploring them deeply on a research-oriented and, more importantly, experiential level? What I need, I think, is to go out and EXPERIENCE people and different MODES of living. Staying cooped up in the house serves one...

kkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk Hope this helps.

Hey Mind! Get out of my head!

Indeed, validation that I'm a worthy person, worthy enough to be liked and also as a contributor in some capacity. When people tell me or I hear that they said I am smart, funny etc. (fill in any insecurity that I have) you have no idea (well, you probably do) how prideful and happy that makes...

If I'm being honest with myself, what I really want from people is praise. That's pretty shallow I guess.

True man. I think that's certainly part of it. If you can't relate to your audience there is no way in hell that audience is going to find what you're saying funny. And that brings up a thought. If experiences play a large part in humor (relating to other people through common experiences)...

As a side note, what exactly is a "funny" person? There are multiplicities of comedy. One comedian's jokes might fall on deaf ears while causing side-crushing laughter elsewhere, even if that said comedian is lauded as a legend by many people. Furthermore, is being "funny" in large part a...

Another thread on humor. It's come to my attention that I very, very frequently go into a conversation with a desire and with expectations--a certain pressure--on myself to be funny. I'm almost never funny when I do this. When I go into a conversation neutrally, and I allow the humor to bloom...

YouTube videos my friend.

Social anxiety, in large part, comes from a fear of not being able to be yourself while in the presence of others. If you feel like you can be yourself, if you like yourself, have high self-esteem, then by default, you shouldn't care about what others say or think regarding your looks, opinion...

Got my fingers crossed for you.

You know, just when I feel like I've come to some realization about my own humanity, and I feel hope in the face of that fact, I myself face some adversity that utterly kills my momentum from the very same people I am trying to understand. People can be hurtful. Unthinking. Possibly because...

Understanding the complexities of human civilization and people is just as important to my happiness and satisfaction as, say, learning about space-time and the mysteries of nature. I live in this fucking place (civilization and people), am completely immersed in it, just as much as I live in...

A supplement to the above post: my dad has an extremely crass sense of humor. He reads, but is not well-read, and, (probably) the result is that he isn't exactly that familiar with other cultures, and that's putting it lightly. I finally see it in myself, and I despise it.

Realization (?) time: Is it possible that some of my social issues stem from a lack of... understanding contemporary social issues? If I am not knowledgable about or sensitive to say, the many, diversified cultures of others--then my worldview is shaped by that lack of understanding. If I do...

I mean, you're right, but I think sometimes I'm just an insensitive asshole, plain and simple. I think I need to educate myself more.

How in the fuck do I keep saying offensive things? How?? It's like an inevitability of my stupidly cursed brain to be this way.

Lmao. Mad Men gif. You'll be fine man. I have faith in you because you're pretty awesome.

Cute. :)

I want to watch it, but have not played the game yet. I feel like I should play the game first.
