The You Game!

[buildersith]

< fits in here, maybe. If not < is just watching from the window enjoying the show.

[Jewish Candy]

< knows < knows

Serza and < bond over our mutual sisterhood in the (by now badly deformed) Doldrums topic, bond so deeply that it blossoms into... NO, no, forbidden love. Is it love? Is it lust? Are we just really good friends? We aren't sure, can't be sure, there's too much at stake, our hearts belong to others...

Yet this...

This...

[Snagglebee]

< found <'s self in a poke war in facebook .

[buildersith]

< is getting hugs from people < has never met, as appreciative as < is < feels like he doesn't deserve them even if < needs them.
< acknowledges that no one knows what <'s going on about. < worries though that if < explains he might dim the mood quite drastically, something < doubts the You game needs, nor would appreciate after the intense back and forth in the doldrums topic.

[Bradandez]

< is gonna hug ^ then.

[Jewish Candy]

^^ should know that there are a lot of people on this forum who would be willing to listen. < wants to tell you that you deserve lots of hugs.

[Adsolution]

Aye! < thinks it can only be dimmer knowing that someone is having unsolved trouble, but we aren't able to hear ^^^ out.

< personally finds hugs extremely weird, probably because pretty much everyone who has ever tried to hug < has been much shorter than <, and < has to bend over awkwardly, and < just plain doesn't like physical contact unless it's a fistbump or something.

[Bradandez]

lel ^ has to bend over to hug people?
< has never heard anyone having to do that in order to hug someone.

[Jewish Candy]

< is a hugger, but is scared of getting in other people's space in case they don't want it. Luckily < is short and hugs are easy for <

[Bradandez]

What < does is once < hugs the person, < pulls tighter and tighter until the hug turns into me breaking their back.

In other news, < bought the Metroid Prime trilogy for the Wii.

[buildersith]

Here goes nothing then.

< Has never had an easy relationship with his mother, < has been a young carer for her for as long as < remember. Since < was about 12, so 5 years roughly, Our relationship has slowly been deteriorating, <'s mother started mistreating < she stopped rewarding < for work < did, not even a thanks and gradually those rewards I used to get evolved into insults, threats of physical violence, abuse, put simply. over time, especially in the last year, I just stopped caring for her, she was treating < like shit and < was still doing pretty much all the work for her. I never really stopped doing the work for her, < never really expected any reward, especially as < was becoming an adult, but as < said, < was getting abused for helping his mother, not just by said mother, by <'s sister too, who is a whole other can of worms. when < turned 16 < started receiving threats from <'s mother that one day she would kick < out, and this is were <'s more recent problem lies, because those threats became a reality. At the beginning of last week, <'s mother snapped, and she threw < out, quite thankfully, < was able to get a roof over his head fairly quickly thanks to < social worker, though its only temporary until somewhere more suitable can be found.

That's the physical situation, < is officially homeless, living in homeless accommodation. This is actually also were a more moral dilemma comes into it though, this conversation started from < saying < didn't feel like he deserves hugs after he got < got a hug from the friend of a friend who told them what had been happening to <, simply because, despite everything that's happened, despite < being estranged from his mother, and < being homeless, < not having a lot of money for food, or electricity, < is the happiest <'s been in years, and it makes < feel bad because there is undoubtedly someone out there in an identical situation, who feels like complete shit, and here < is complaining that he hasn't had internet for a week and how much dongles cost.

< should probably just be happy that he is happy, and should really probably stop rambling on.

This probably shouldn't have been posted in the you game, the doldrums topic would have been more appropriate, but < didn't want to interupt the topic being currently discussed there with <'s bitching and whining.

[Jewish Candy]

See this is exactly why < commented that we should bring things to a close there. But ultimately the You Game is as good as any dear.

< can't imagine how difficult being a young carer must be, though < supposes you must get used to it. It is beyond awful that you've been subject to abuse by someone who you've basically given your life to care for. And now this... < feels for you so much man.

< thinks it is beautiful that you are feeling happy. You are not obligated to feel sad because X or Y or Z - if anything, it makes sense to <, as you have escaped an abusive household. You deserve to feel happy and you deserve all the hugs and all the support. You deserve to feel safe. This is your life, and your reaction to it.

< hopes that you will be able to find somewhere to stay and good people to stay with. < gives you an internet hug.

[Shrooblord]

First off, <'d like to point out ^^ is in no way bitching nor whining.

What ^^ is going through right now sounds terrible. < is happy that, at least, ^^ is happy in ^^'s current situation. < wonders if ^^'d even care for the matter to be resolved and if so, < hopes that one day that mother of yours will come to her senses and realise she treated her own child as a piece of garbage. If < was anywhere near ^^, rest assured ^^ could have stayed with < for as long as ^^'d have liked, as long as it took for ^^ to sort his own accomodation out. Empty promises over the web considering the factuality, < realises. But < hopes that ^^ recognises the truth in <'s words when < says that.

You will find your own way in life now, buildersith. Know that we'll always be here to hear your words.

< is a hugger, but is scared of getting in other people's space in case they don't want it.

< is pretty much the same, but added on top of that that physical contact is hard for <. For some reason, < can't quite get that thing sorted out. < loves to accept hugs, but is pretty terrible at communicating that < wants to give one and it usually results in a semi-awkward 'oh you wanted to hug me alright here's a hug' ordeal.

[Ambidextroid]

< is writing a story (possibly plot for a game (a game that will never be made (being written by < be ause he's bored (the reson that there are so many brackets is that < is bored (even though < already said that (< is just making excuses now))))))

< was playing Bloons TD 4 for nostalgia. It's more addictive than < remembers and < likes the primitive art style and the music is funky

[PluMGMK]

< doesn't really know what to say about buildersith's story. < can't imagine it either, but sympathises with what you've had to go through.

< is staying up waiting for <'s Dad to come home from working late.

[Shrooblord]

It's so cold, < is now wearing four layers of clothing and a duvet, to boot.

[PluMGMK]

< is sitting next to a warm radiator with a leisurely two layers of clothing. < wishes < could teleport the water supply for this radiator to Shroob's house to warm him up!

[Master]

< doesn't really know what to say either, < does admire Builder's resolve, < really hopes you'll be able to bounce back on your own feet.

[rolesfamily]

< Has an itchy goddamn back in a place that's really hard to reach!

[Ambidextroid]

< still has a sore throat
< has a nice cup of tea in <'s Corn Flakes mug
< wants a hobnob
< doesn't have any
