[video=youtube] This song is about loneliness, but in a positive way.

Sci-Fi, wow, you really had it hard at school. I guess being short is something that affects boys in particular. For girls I suppose it's mostly being overweight that makes you bully-worthy to some. (Not that I was, I was just ugly otherwise.) And yeah, I really hated gym classes too. I've...

Very few people have as much power to screw up your life as your parents have. My parents were alcoholics, and my mom's drinking hurt me especially. Still I never doubted that she loved me, because when she was sober, she was very affectionate (and even when she was drunk, her bouts of...

I second the cutting back the drinking part. Myself, I don't really drink much at all anymore, because all it did was emphasize any negative feelings I might have had at the time of the drinking, and I almost always ended up feeling absolutely terrible. I sort of feel the same way you do. I...

Right. Well, his age explains a lot, then. That seems to be pretty much the worst age when it comes to bullying. That's when you're old enough to care if someone's different, but too young to realize what making fun of someone because of that difference could cause. Good luck with making him...

I know how you feel. I have been waking up every morning feeling like crap lately. It's really, really difficult to face my duties for the day when I feel like there's a cloud of black flies inside my head from the moment I wake up. I'm not sure, but it sounds like you're suffering from...

There's a forest nearby where I go on walks on my own now. That's the one good thing about where I live - you can't really go very far in any one direction without finding yourself in a forest (and/or at a lake). A dog would be a great companion on my walks; it would make me feel less like a...

I was thinking of maybe digging a deep moat around my house where all the monsters would keep falling. Because sunlight wouldn't reach the bottom of the moat, they wouldn't catch fire come morning. Then their adorable zombie growls and delightful skeleton clicks would keep me company FOREVER.

Wow, Ladysphinx, I wish I'd had your strength and wittiness back in high school. ... I wish I had that now. Hmm, I don't know. Well, I've got no experience of physical bullying, but I'd imagine it'd be really hard to live in constant fear of physical pain. There's not only the humiliation...

...you're playing Minecraft in single-player mode. There's not even one measly NPC to keep you company - it's just you and the pigs and the cows and the monsters. It's kind of depressing, actually. I know how you feel. I spend most of my weekends all alone as well, and it sucks.

I do. I have ever since I moved away from home 4,5 years ago. Sometimes I think it would be nice to live with a roommate (might make me a bit less lonely), but then again, from what I've heard, it can be really hard to find someone you can get along with well enough to live with them.

That's really sad. I was just asking, because, as I'm sure you know, usually dogs are aggressive because of bad treatment, which obviously wasn't the case here. I wonder what could bring about such sudden aggressiveness. Maybe some disease, a brain tumor? Who knows.

Reading these make me realize what a secure life I've been living. My scariest experiences have been caused by something unreal and imaginary, like when I've been freaking out after a horror movie. That's why I don't watch those anymore. I'd probably just fall apart if I ever were forced to...

I guess she had every right to be mad at me, I screwed up, after all. I'm just a huge wimp, that's why I took it so hard.

You've got yourself a pretty good taste in music, there. I like several of those bands as well, and many of the rest I've listened to at least at some point. I don't play any instrument, but music is one of the most important things in my life. My taste can be viewed at last.fm/user/Martta.
