It is a very complex and deeply sensitive issue that affects so many people in different ways. While it is important to acknowledge the pain and suffering that can lead someone to contemplate ending their life, it is equally crucial to provide resources and support for those who are struggling with mental health issues or other challenges. It breaks my heart to think of anyone feeling so hopeless or alone that they would consider taking such drastic action, It makes me upset why— do people never talk about the part of depression when you just don’t want anything anymore¿ Everybody talks about when it hurts like hell; when you cry, when you cut; when you take drugs when you break down. But no one ever talks about when you just lay down in your room with a hole inside of you that you don’t know how to fill and you don’t want to do anything even the things you usually like. So you just spend your day kinda waiting for it to end. And it's horrible cause you feel empty and guilty for that at the same time. Anyways, I hope you are kay and safe, incase needed an ear to listen - Iam here for you. 🌻

Well well well, if it isn't the hypocrite yapping like usual. I was going to keep quiet about this because I really could care less about you and I'm willing to be the villian if it makes u feel better in your head about your lies, but this needs to be said. First off, @syd13kidxo, I thought you moved on? I thought you were living life? I thought you healed? I thought you weren't on here much and didn't keep up with the drama? I thought you were too busy working and lying about losing weight and screwing 50 dudes in the same friend group to care about this lil app? For someone who's 27 this is embarrassing. Imagine being caught red handed lying.

You just had to go on the exposing page and run your mouth eh? What's wrong your booty call of the week wasn't around and you got bored?

---

I guess it's a good thing the exposing page messed up and accidently answered that. I'm assuming it was meant to stay private🙊 talk about exposing alright 🤣Secondly, this is the last time I'm.addressing this, I see you're still playing this "I pulled away" card, is that what makes you feel like a good person? Lying through your teeth? Lmfao. First off. You did not pull away, you were yapping your big ass gob off in that GC about kaseh up until the day I fucking left that chat, AND I was told afterwards that even after I LEFT YOU were still talking shit about kasey and then started talking shit about me in that chat. So pleaseeeeeee stop this bullshit 🤣 you have been a fake friend, youve lied, you've run exposing pages about kasey in the past, and it's a fucking shame that these Pathetic anons will always believe your crap, because God forbid they ever knew the truth, they'd fucking die. You are a trash friend. Trash human. Trash person which is why you still at the grown age of 27 can't make a relationship work. Because no one wants to be with you, they just want to bang you. If CHANGED.

I do like it! And I don’t mind other people using it! Depending on who I talk to, I can definitely bring out my sarcastic side way more. Like, some of my friends are more sarcastic than others, for example, and I feel comfortable doing that with them. Same goes with my family. Sometimes though, sarcasm can go over my head a bit, especially in text cause it’s hard to decipher one’s tone. 😅 But being sarcastic has definitely not made me any enemies, I don’t even have those to begin with. 😂

I do have some thoughts on how it should be used though. I think it needs to be used with caution and care. What I mean by that is I’ve noticed some people either overuse it, or use it as a subtle way to bash someone else, be condescending, passive aggressive, etc. 😐 And in that case, it’s certainly possible to be put in a situation where people don’t like you that much. So I would say it’s important to know where the boundaries are, and when to be sarcastic with someone/when not to be. And if someone doesn’t like sarcasm/doesn’t understand it, please respect that. One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone says outright they didn’t like a sarcastic joke or something, and people use more sarcasm to essentially make fun of them for it… 😒

I strongly disagree with judging someone’s identity. By identity, I mean their sexuality, gender, etc. If they aren’t harming anyone, live and let live. And, not understanding someone who identifies differently isn’t a valid excuse to be judgmental either. If you don’t personally relate to it, or you wouldn’t choose that life, okay fine, but it doesn’t make it inherently non-sensical or wrong. 🤷🏼‍♀️

---

The way I see it, putting people in small boxes of who you think they should be/how they should identify based on your own bias, and judging them if they step outside of it, never helps anyone. It only tells those people that they can’t be themselves with you, and ultimately, they can’t trust you. 😅 I’m a firm believer that you meet people where they’re at, and you learn from each other, and grow together. And when someone has enough confidence in you to show who they truly are, listen, learn, and support them.

I’ll give you a personal example: I’m asexual, largely s*x averse, but romantically attracted to men. When I share this part of myself, people often place value judgements on how “worthy” I am of a relationship. They believe they can talk me out of it, that I haven’t found the right person yet, I’m stuck up, selfish, cold, anti-s*x, and so on. All before even attempting to understand that asexuality is different for everyone, and doesn’t always mean “anti-s*x.” 😑 It also has nothing to do with hormone imbalance, trauma, or if your body functions normally. It has to do with attraction. I don’t feel s*xual attraction to anyone, period. However, does that mean I’m a robot and feel nothing? Or that I hate any kind of affection/intimacy? Absolutely not. I’m averse to s*x itself. There’s many ways to be intimate and create a strong bond outside of that though. Heck, I’m a very affectionate person, I love hugs, holding hands, cuddling, etc, but you wouldn’t know that without taking even a moment to learn what asexuality means for me.

---

Point being, when you take time to truly understand someone, you can learn from that. We weren’t born hating or judging people because they identify a certain way, that comes from somewhere. I just feel like people should be free to show their true selves without others nitpicking/debating whether their existence is valid or not. If it doesn’t harm anyone else, I feel that doing so is a one way road to a lonely existence. People don’t have to tolerate or accept the box you think they are better off in, and frankly, they shouldn’t.

First and foremost, thank you for giving me an opportunity to talk about the Special Interest (tm), I'll do my very very best to not waffle on too long (very unlike me, I know 🤣) and just get straight into my recommendations.

---

If you enjoy MOAC then I would say that their other top five tracks on spotify: Square Hammer, Dance Macabre, Call Me Little Sunshine, and The Future Is A Foreign land may also be up your street! Sound-wise they're in the same vein as Mary on a Cross. Not too heavy, more along the lines of arena rock than heavy metal.

---

Some of my other personal recommendations would be Cirice, Darkness at The Heart of My Love, Zenith, Ritual, and Watcher in The Sky.

---

They've also done a bunch of covers too, the majority of which are all pretty solid. They tend to put their own spin on whatever songs they cover which is quite refreshing. I particularly enjoy most of the covers from the 'Popestar' EP. Their rendition of 'I Believe' is particularly pretty...

As an introvert, I do. I’ve been told that I’m not a shy person since I could strike up a conversation with just about anyone one on one and I’ve even went as far as to sing for choir back when my social anxiety wasn’t that bad. Over the years, my anxiety got worse and I couldn’t get myself to talk to anyone but whenever I’d see people around me having a nice conversation, I’d get jealous because I wasn’t having fun like them. As long as I don’t overhear other people having a nice conversation in front of me and keep myself busy somehow, I don’t worry too much about what I’m missing out on. I also have a competitive side to me that comes out when I’m good at something but can’t always express myself the way I want to. That doesn’t mean the desire to be seen and acknowledged by others doesn’t exist tho.

I mean… some do. I know I don’t prefer that though, and the people I’m friends with don’t either. I’m not friends with people to appear “cool,” nor would I ever intentionally be mean to be considered cool by a handful of people. Those aren’t true friends, in my opinion. To me, they are in it for how popular they’ll be, and how they’re percieved, instead of wanting authentic friendship. 😐 I don’t mind sarcasm, as I’m sarcastic myself at times. But, I feel sarcasm can also be a bit condescending/passive aggressive depending on what you’re saying, how you say it, and your relationship to the person you say it to. There’s a place for sarcasm, and doing it to be more subtly rude isn’t okay.

Personally, I wanna be friends with people who genuinely want to know me and hang out with me, and who are fun, kind, thoughtful, both to me and others, etc. I think feeling safe with people is really important, and I don’t feel safe with people who have tendencies to be rude for “cool points.” If they’re willing to be rude to others for a reason like that, more than likely, they’ll be willing to be rude to you too. 😅

---

I think the reason people tend to remember mean or “cool” individuals is because they purposely stir up drama and get people talking. 😒 And to me, it always feels like they want an audience. They want people to talk about them, to look at them, think about them, etc, it heightens the experience, AND because they are deemed as “cool”, it draws others in and makes them aspire to be just like them. Even if it’s rather unfortunate that it is that way.

---

Whereas quieter people get ignored/forgotten, likely because they have tendencies to stay out of things, and don’t give people reason to talk much. Though, I will say, even though they are seemingly ignored, you never know who was secretly touched by their kindness, or are attracted to their nature. People remember kindness and how good it makes them feel much more than you may think. You don’t have be mean in order to be remembered… Just saying. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Can you be assertive? Yes absolutely, in fact, I think assertiveness is a good thing. But mean or unnecessarily rude? No thank you.

I try to be a listening ear as much as possible, and just show I love and care about them by actually saying it, and of course showing it. Like, just really to make them feel they are valued. I also try to do nice things for them that I know may take pressure off them. I like to refrain from giving advice unless they specifically ask for it, in these situations though… Cause I know, if I’m feeling like that, I don’t want my friends to attempt to fix the problem, or carry it for me, I just like to know they are there and will support me/listen as much as they are able to.

I think the goal in friendship isn’t always to absolve our friends of their problems, or their hard feelings. It’s more so to talk through it with them, be a friendly sounding board, a place they can talk and be free to express what they need without judgement. And also, for encouragement, and to remind them that someone is there for them, even when everything feels really heavy, dark, and lonely. I know some of what’s helped me during my lowest points is the friends I know I can turn to no matter how I’m feeling and I know for a fact, they are gonna be there. 🥺🥹

i don't know man honestly i mean, i don't get how people can talk so much. if i talk about myself,i think personally, i don't yap a lot or maybe i do occationally but it's so exhausting to talk a lot, you know? to keep talking without making any sense? i think i couldn't do it. i guess some people just naturally enjoy talking a lot more.
or maybe it's just baffling. they go on and on repeating themselves or jumping from one topic to another without any real point. how do they have the energy for that? its quite interesting if we think about it waisay. they seem to have an endless supply of things to say and like they never seem to run out of energy. maybe they're just really passionate about what they're talking about or maybe they just love the sound of their own voice lool but everyone has their own way of doing things i suppose. what can we say?
