Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I am putting this up on behalf of someone else (I was asked so nobody would get in trouble for bumping while this thread is pinned). This is going to get thread-gamey. Here is how this works. Each person will comment with a feeling. You can go as intricate as you'd like in terms of details, and see if anyone relates. People who relate must reply "+1" to the initial comment, and maybe detail it even more from their perspective or try to explain the feeling for example. Those who don't relate must reply with "-1".

You can look in the replies for examples. There's another thread on another site that serves as the inspiration to this as well, if that helps to provide a basis for how this works.

Too tired to go to bed

Finding that the kingdoms of heaven and hell are within me. Knowing that working with my "demons" can make them my holy guardian angels and neglecting attention to the guardian angels cause them to become more ferocious demons than they were before.

A strong yearning for a place you can't quite describe that is full of discoveries and beauty. Like Wanderlust.

The desire of being free of desire.

Riding fast on your bike in a rainstorm while listening to high energy and/or emotional music.

+1 also it's a crime that I can't just start driving and never stop for the rest of my life and see what places exist forever

Sorry to double post, but are there any other people with hyperthymia here?

-1 But I’m sure you’re smoking hot

Being able to feel and taste other people's art.

The best way I can describe it is like, if someone has a smooth artstyle with soft highlights and there's a lot of cyan/turquoise in that art, it'll tend to have a soft, minty texture. Even JPEG artifacts have a particular "seasoning" to me. I feel weird having to even type this LMAO

-1 I know someone like this though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I envy you, but -1

Synesthesia!

A feeling when you have conquered Alexithymia and every feeling feels new and exiting to discover.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

-1 but I’m happy for you! I feel like I’ve always been really in touch with my emotions

Not sure if +1 or -1, because technically I relate, but it's been about 15 years. Nowadays I find new feelings embarrassing and exhausting. Another thing I have to bury so people offline won't find me annoying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

-1 as that was how I felt couple of years ago but the exitment wore off. I sadly no longer feel that way but that time was great. (I have one more feeling to discover for 100% completion rate)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Feeling nostalgic for a time period you never lived through.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

+1 but not a time period per se just knowing things were better before now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

-1

Can't say I do, but I know people who are though!
