Hey guys, it's me again XD Anyway, I've noticed that some bronies get pretty sad over some things, whether they are big or if they are small. I just wanna say that if you post anything talking about a problem on one of my threads (or if I stumble upon one in another thread) I'll do my best to sympathize and comfort you, despite the gap we all have between us that we know as the internet. but I wanna make this thread my main place for helping people <:] and I suggest other bronies help each other out in this thread too, I may have a positive outlook on life and some okay advice, but I don't know everything, that's why we should help each other out, I mean, we are a family here. Begin the posting!
Sounds good to me, Snowy. I'll even share my sad story of the day. I was working on my fan fiction this afternoon, and I had a bunch of windows open. I started closing some of the windows I didn't need, and, yep, you guessed it. I closed the chapter I was working on - without saving. Didn't notice the little box. Ah, well, if that's the worse thing that happens tonight, I'll be fine. I'll just work on it some more in the morning.
Worst thing, Huh? Well yesterday my friend's mother just had to say "would you like to play with my daughter's my little pony figures?" in front of the father and the guys but think god they were distracted by something and did hear one thing she said. Since she knows i watch my little pony. But i kinda figures, since she is on my bloody Facebook account and i have a picture of applejack as my profile picture. I thought i flare up in fear but i was pretty calm about it. Still mad, tho. Lately, I've been doglegging bullets here, with this secret. It seems i can't hold on to this secret for very long. I know it been almost a year but they don't last very long. You might or not say that really doing this to myself but can't really say i am? But what i am really trying to do is just build up all this courage and feel cool about the fact i watch this show. My secret is one thing. But slowly get one thing as i progress is just a step i want to take before anything else.
It sounds like an innocent mistake on her end, but I understand how it feels to be embarrassed in front of people. Anyway, I think that you should talk to the mother about this and tell her how you wanna keep it private to yourself and the people who know about until you ready to be open about it. I think that will help you out a lot <:3
*Huggle* I know how that is... I'm by no means shy about my fandom, but I have to keep other things from my family and friends for different reasons. I feel a differ from a lot of people, especially where I live. Sometimes I consider it a blessing that I'm unique in this way, other times I just hate it and feel like a freak, or be all "I should have been this".. The thing is, though, no one has to know about your secrets if you don't want them to. Secrets are secrets for a reason, silly~ but if it kills you so badly to hold it in, maybe its best to get it out at some point. Not today, not tomorrow maybe, but whenever the opportunity arises and you feel comfortable! I dunno if you can just do this without any HUGE fears, unlike me who will probably get kicked out of my house for having different interests and desires. Just do your best, and if all else fails,we'll all be here as friends to help you through a rainbow ♥
I know she was kidding in the end but it's a joke i'm not ready for...yet. My parents? I Can't. I Can't Tell them. I Can't Tell them. I Can't Tell them. I Can't Tell them. I love you, mother. Oh god, there i go, again. I can't let them know. They already find me strange on so many levels. This is the last thing they need to know I can't risk it. My friends i could just say it but there parents....ehh but my parents. Oh man!! I can't risk it, man. I don't want to listen stuff like "oh my god, i have a gay son" and crap like that. Look i'm not homosexual but i just like the show. Nothing has change, man. Getting it out?......Maybe someday.
You don't have to spill it if you don't want to, like I said. It's not like the fate of the world depends on if you tell your parents you like parents or not, silly~ If you're like me and do your best to avoid drama in all situations though, maybe its best to not tell for now.. Work on getting away so you can express yourself more, too! =3 thats a good thing to do~ umm, on a note related to homosexuality, sometimes I wonder if I'm bi :/ dunno if that's an appropriate topic for the forum or not.. If not, I won't get into it here, no worries.
I'l Find the nerve to Tell them one day but not anytime soon. I don't like to talk about Sexuality since even if your Hetero or Homosexual or Bi, it doesn't bother me one bit. End of Discussion. let someone else have their turn. ;3
^I'm gonna strech it a little bit further, Turk. Maybe, if you one day decide to let you're parents know you like this show, it could help to not really 'tell' them (since then you're making a big deal out of it), but just let them find out. Just watch the show sometimes, and try to stay cool when one of your parents comes in. Act like it's nothing big, even if they to so. Goodluck and hugs, bro! @Magicpinkay I don't know how much you suspect it, but know that many young people go through a period in their lives in which they're uncertain about their sexual orientation. I myself have never really felt attracted to another boy, but I do have moments in which I think someone of the same gender is sort of cute. But then, pretty much everyone has this. If I were to turn out Bi one day, I'd be okay with that. But I don't think it'll happen in my case. So, it's all normal. @Snowy Shuffles Good idea for a thread, Snowy. We're a sensitive bunch here ^^ I'd like to share something too. I've passed my first week at school, and well... I survived it, but it wasn't fun. I have a new 'main class' and some other seperate classes for certain subjects. In all of them, I know next to nobody... I've always had a small select group of friends. In each class I've been in the last few years I have barely made any contact, because I was just too shy and really didn't like anyone... Now it's the same scenario, but I don't have the security of a select group of friends to fall back on anymore. The two I've left have both developped a group of their own as well. And I'd absolutely hate to become a clingy type of friend. I think I'd rather be alone than to become that. With these friends I've always felt I can actually be myself on some level, and be accepted for it. This is something I've never experienced with anyone else my age... I just CAN'T become friends with any of the 'tough and cool' type of kids. It's impossible for me... I can't and I don't want to. Maybe there actually are some nice people around, and it's not like I reject all forms of contact... It's just, well... everyone seems to know each other already :/ So I probably have been very lucky I've come across some people I can relate to, but what now? They still want to hang out with me (even though I'm pretty irritated with one of them right now), but what if I become too clingy? Will they still like me? In the worst case scenario, I think I'll survive spending each break alone, reading of something... and each lesson in the back of the class, but it won't be a very fun time. So, I'm just really nervous about how this schoolyear will be. Thanks for reading. Any form of confort will mean a lot to me.
@Turk, I really wish you could tell everyone without fear. I have, but I did it as a formal school presentation so I could force them to listen to the facts about the show's popularity before they could judge me and in the end they hardly care, one even became a brony and another told me he is going to watch the show. Even my best friend who doesn't like the show. I came clean to him about going on forums about it and he, doesn't treat me any differently. If anything he is jealous of the amount of views my Youtube channel has gotten because of ponies. His channel is 1/3 as popular and he had to pay money to get his videos seen. Well I have already spilled a lot of my problems to this community I trust so much already. I guess my only problem at the moment is that I made a brony out of the class idiot, which really doesn't help my case, I don't even like to talk about MLP with him because if hI do it does make it look like a show that crazy people like. I'm just hoping now that the other well liked guy in the class who told me is going to watch it end up liking it. Then I will have more credibility.
That's really a shame. It's good you have the motivation to recover. When I lose my progress I always freak out and can't keep going. It's brilliant that you can handle this so non-nonchalantly I don't know your parents, but if you deem them worthy to know about you liking MLP then I would trust them to not question your sexuality. It seems like your mom used that joke nonchalantly where as a homophobic parent would never use a joke like that. Maybe you should tell your mom and explain why you love the show, and she can break it to your dad. Based on how you responded it seems like watching this show and their influence on you is tearing you up inside, and that's no good. That's not good at all. I think that you should get it out to your mom and I think she will react better than you believe she will. I think you need to worry less. You're friends aren't ditching you, they want to hang out with you! Maybe you can make an effort to hang out with them when they're in their new groups of friends? You won't seem clingy at all if you can break through your shyness and try to become friends with the group as a whole. If these close friends were okay with you being yourself, wouldn't it stand to reason that they were being themselves with you? Therefore they are like you in that sense, and likely just being themselves in front of their new group, meaning their new group accepts people who are just themselves. I think you should give it a shot, and I don't think you'll be seen as clingy at all! As for the classes with people you don't want to associate with, I think that problem will be fixed as you start budding out of shyness with these new groups. If you can get past shyness on an easy level, eventually you'll be able to on a larger level. It's just something you have to work at. And eventually, who knows? You may find someone you like talking to in these classes. Russia, you have to be able to accept yourself for who you are. Be proud of yourself and your uniqueness. Be proud of what you were given! Be proud you've overcome social stigma's! Be proud you have wonderful friends. You have to love yourself and accept yourself. I'm sorry that you feel weird sometimes, but just remember that those who actually think you're weird are weird themselves. Everypony is weird in their own way. Never be sad that you aren't someone you're not. YOu are the MagicPinkay that we all love I had literally the same exact problem in my school. Luckily I solved it the same way you are solving it. But always remember love and TOLERANCE. You shouldn't shun the class idiot for liking what you like. It's not his fault. You just need to show the show to a few more people, and it should all work itself out.
I've been writing since the second grade - I kind of know how to deal with setbacks. Actually, I grumped and huffed for a couple of hours after I did it, mostly because it was a stupid mistake I made. It said, "Do you want to save Yes/No" AND I CLICKED NO! WHY? WHY DID I DO THAT?! . . . A-hem. Other people? Ah, Setzertancer! Yes, I had a similar problem in Junior High (7th & 8th). I was a comic book nerd (well, still am), but back then, it wasn't so cool, and I was endlessly picked on for it. Then, all of the sudden one day, the most popular kid in school came up to me and said, "You like comic books?" And I just mumbled a "Yeah," wondering what he was going to say. He said, "How do you feel about Spider-Man?" And a friendship was born. Weird. Went from zero to "Friend of most popular guy in school" in ten seconds flat. So, strange things to happen. Turk, don't be surprised when you get up the courage, it turns out they already know. Parents aren't always clueless. Well, sometimes they are, but not always. MagicPinkay, I suppose sexuality is an appropriate post here if there's some problems involved - y'know, if your friends reject you, you're having a hard time yourself, whatever.
I understand that you don't want your parents to know, I'm in the same boat. But I think that asking her to be a bit lighter on the subject would not hurt anything, I mean, it shouldn't be hard to understand that it may be seem a bit embarrassing to be a teenaged boy who love MLP. Thank you! I hoped I'd be able to do more help if I were to make a thread just for this kind of stuff :3 Anyway, my advice to you is to give it some time, I'm sure you'll find someone you can relate to, when we think of things as bad we sometimes over think it and feel extremely overwhelmed by everything. And remember that you have friends outside of school too, the friends you have are the ones that count, just focus on the class and not on social things going on in the class unless you really are desperate to make friends. Like I said, I'm positive someone in there is willing to befriend you, new friends are great! I mean, I made like 20 on here already! XD Well, you can continue spilling your problems onto this forum, we're here for you. *hugs* You're not an unintelligent person, so I think you'll know what I mean when I say that it shouldn't really matter what people think/feel about you or your beliefs, I mean, you seem like a smart guy, you were courageous enough to make a presentation about bronies in front of your figgin' class, that says to me that you are both Smart and Courageous. You've got to focus on the positive things, rather than dwelling on the idea that someone is making bronies look bad and you think you inadvertently caused it. Things aren't as bad as you make it out to be.
You know when you're cooking something, and you get really excited because it's going to be so tasty? Well I was making some brownies (chocolate of course), and I wanted to smell how they were coming along. So I opened the oven door, stuck my head in without letting any of the hot air out, and my face got embered.
Are brownies worth singed hair? Yes. I burned my hair off in a patch one time. Surprisingly, it wasn't very painful, just kind of smelly. Burnt hair is not one of my top odors.
