Yes. They even brought in the other two Spiderman actors. So much awkward turtling.

... that sounds chaotic, tbh... how did they make that all make sense?

Um it works, but the how would spoil the plot. But it does make sense.

LOL. Fair enough. I don't particularly care about plot spoilers and it will probably be a while before I see the movie, but I know others would see it sooner and care about spoilers...

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :3

Happy New Year's Eve!
This is the last day of 2021!

2021 Roller coaster
2022 Growth

lol - I literally just used the word "rollercoaster" someplace else to describe my 2021! It was not the most fun of years for me - and I'm sorry your year was similar, apparently.

What I want for 2022 is SANITY, the world over...



Good morning AMA. How are you today so far?
Coffee??

Lol there were some good bits of 2021 for me. But definitely a lot of not so great bits.

I'm good. Just woke up, and thinking about some coffee.

Yeah, ditto. It was a weird year, and completely full of ups and downs and an occasional loop-de-loop...
I seriously hope 2022 is much more Sane.
What kind of "growth" are you thinking you'd like to see or have happen for 2022? It's an interesting word to choose for that question, imo.


Yeah, I've had a cup of coffee already but am thinking about grabbing another one. It just seems to be a day for it somehow...

Well I'm thinking about learning to travel on my own. Since I'm always with a friend when I go out of town. That friend might not be living here for much longer, so it's best I figure out doing it solo. I'd also like to get where I can confidently take an assistant manager position at some point. I've come a very long way from where I was before, but I'd like to cover some more ground.

I now has coffee.

So personal growth... and that sounds like a couple of awesome goals to have for the new year! <3 Take it one step at a time and I'm sure you'll get there :3 It's awesome that you've come so far over the last year too :3 <3


Coffee is good. I think I am going to get that second cup...

Couple of years ago, I couldn't even speak to an employee at a store without wanting to cry. My social anxiety was so bad that I'd literally let myself bleed out instead of trying to speak out loud to get help. But now I definitely can speak to strangers, I do not like to. But I can do it.

That is an awesome several steps in the right direction, AMA! You should be proud of yourself! <3




brb... coffee... quick shower...

Donator — 0% Edible Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/12/31 14:37:52 )

I am proud. Put in a lot of effort for the growth.

Okie dokie.

Voltie Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/12/31 15:03:24 )
I'm back.
And yes, I imagine so - that kind of personal growth and achievement takes effort and determination!

Yeah. People like to romanticize social anxiety and just live deep inside of it. I personally got sick of losing to my own brain.

Voltie Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/12/31 15:19:48 )
Romanticize it? Is that really the term you're searching for right now? I can think of several other terms instead of "romanticize". It sounds like you had a genuine and fairly extreme variation of social anxiety, whereas lately, imo, the term tends to be thrown around far too easily and being applied to too many less serious situations that it demeans the "actual" cases (like yours).

You have come a long way and you should be proud of yourself. You should also continue to push yourself a little at at time, and it sounds like you're in the right mindset to do that over the next year :3

That is the right word yes. A lot of people make it as a beautiful part of their personality. And it's just not.

Now I understand how you meant the word, and I agree with you. It seems to be accepted as a "beautiful flaw". There seem to be too many people mistaking a natural (for many) mild discomfort dealing with strangers or difficult situations with people, instead of as the crippling form of anxiety which it can be. I think we're talking about the same thing, just using different words in an attempt to explain.
