I have been noticing a lot of self-bashing lately by a lot of people about how they are "putting their burdens on us", or "annoying us with your problems" and that they shouldn't. Well, I'm just going to flat out say this; I Guaruntee that almost everyone on this site is willing to help in (Almost) every way they can. Apologizing for something that you shouldn't apologize for should NOT happen. If you have a problem, let any one of us know; I know that I will certainly help in any way I can. This community is filled with tons of friendly people, and I am glad I became a brony, and that my brother did as well. Sharing your burdens and troubles is What Friends are For. Trying to take everything alone will simply increase your chance of failure in solving the problem. If YOU have a problem, or if something is going on, let ME or ANYONE that you trust on this site know; we're here to help you, not be "annoyed" by you. We all have our problems, some big, some small. But know that in the end conquering these problems and mistakes with others not only makes us stronger, but our bond tighter. ...if that last line sounded all sissy-like, I can remove it, if you want. :X
^^this. as my signature says I'm always open to help anyone in anyway. (Physical problems, school/collage problems, family/friends/relationship problems) any kind of problems. if you have a problem and need help, don't be afraid to contact me.
Yeah, thats very truth, is good try to help bronies in troubles, since a small problem, or a big desesperated problem XD anyway I agree
I'm not really self-conscious about much... but this whole 'me being a brony' thing is bothering me a bit more than it should... But yes, I agree with you.
I tend to have serious problems talking to anybody in general about anything that's bothering me, even to this day I haven't talked to a single person about anything that bothers me. No clue why either. Maybe I might be able to do that here sometime in the future. Probably not though.
I'm much beter at helping others out than I am at helping myself. Do not hesitate to come to me for help if you need it.....
Thank you all with for your say in the matter. I'm sure that we can help, just give us a chance to, ESPECIALLY if you feel that it would weigh us down.
I'm the kind of guy who fixes stuff by forgetting, so I can't say I need any help.. But somehow on my last DeviantArt account I managed to help some people on the Help With Life section... so if anyone wants help from me, I'd be more than happy to help out.
I actually enjoy helping people. I get satisfaction from knowing I have made someone happy, or stopped them being sad. So it's not so much as 'not a problem', more of 'mutually beneficial'. Seriously, if anybody has any problem, and they want someone's advice, I'm willing to help. Even if we don't know each other, I'm here for anyone, as are most people here. As for myself, I don't tend to share my problems. I'm a 'bottle it all up and tell everyone you're fine' kind of guy, and that's unlikely to change. Besides, I don't like telling people my problems, I'm uncomfortable with it. Most of my problems come from full on depression anyway, which is more medical than just personal problems. So, not much we can do about that. But yeah, don't feel that any problem is too silly, too small or too embarassing. If anyone has any issues with anything at all, or maybe just need someone to talk to, just PM or VM me, or anybody really.
Well, I'm not sure If I would be able to help people with things to well. but I will keep it in mind that there's other members here that are willing to help me if I ever have a problem with something!
It seems that most of us are alike in many ways; one more reason why this community is great. My Brother is bipolar; he also suffers from chronic depression. I don't know how bad your depression is, Lu, but he's got depression as well, so it seems you two are more alike than all 3 of us though. Sometimes he's really happy, and sometimes he's downright depressed; much like what you are talking about Lu. He is the type of person that likes to hide his feelings; even from me. I keep telling him that if he doesn't let the feelings out, it's going to be too late, no matter what the subject is. It's okay to conceal your feelings, but if things start getting out of hand, you've got to let somebody know, even if it is "Embarassing" or "Small". A small problem can turn into a big one later on.
I've always been the go-to guy for my friends when they need help/advice. And I'm more than happy to extend that to the forum. I can't promise that I can do much more than listen, but from personal experience, I know how simply talking can help a lot.
I honestly don't think my problems warrant attention, but I keep being flooded with messages about me....I guess some of you do care.
I'm guilty of doing this, by which I mean putting myself down and not sharing my problems in fear of coming off an attention horse. You see, I had a fallout with a friend last week.. He got really irritated with me for sharing my frustration about school and told me to "grow up", and refused to speak to me. and later said behind my back that he was sick of my bawwing, and that I whine too much.. He hasn't spoken to me in almost a week, I feel our friendship may be over... He's a college kid now, so I guess he's too cool for me anymore... This is the big reason why I withdrew, I don't want anyone hating me like that again. I hate showing my sad side, too, its an all-out defiance of what my true personality is. But I hate holding everything in like I used to do, it tore me up on the inside and led to me losing most of my self-esteem. I told no one, therefore I had no reassurance, therefore I trusted my self-hating Intuition and it convinced me I was a terrible pony. This was quite a long time ago, but since I've held things in this past week, I've begun to feel like that again... It sucks to be afraid to cry... I won't do that anymore with you guys though, I promise~ I love you all <3 and I'm willing to help with any problems you may have. I've been through a lot of rubbish and I can relate and tell you ways to pull out of bad situations better than I did~
Everyponies problems warrant attention, no matter how small. How can we improve the world if we ignore anything deemed 'small'. They're like parasprites, ignore them, and they'll multiply. Sorry if I'm not making much sense at the mo - been having sleeping problems recently, and I am rather tired
Remember that my invitation is always open for you to vent Pinkay. Feel free to "baaww" and "whine" to me all you like. I know I need to vent once in a while...
