Oh I have no intentions of prying, but I've noticed whatever it is has been bugging you for quite awhile now, so I certainly hope things move in a better direction for you.
Derp: Realized the previous post wasn't directed to my inquiry. Staying up for over 27 hours is starting to weigh in as a bad idea finally.
Ugh...I feel like I'm echoing something I may not have explained thoroughly two or three years ago.
Seha,don't take this the wrong way, please. You may be incapable of having kids, you may not want kids, but why don't you like kids? Is it lack of exposure?
Here's the suggestion I had years ago: With the Gordian knot that has been building with your social anxieties compounded with your other problems, maybe working with a set of people who have a very fleeting base of judgement would actually be really therapeutic for you? You could also get reciprocal satisfaction from it.
I remember you saying you wanted to teach at one point...
After school programs where you make crafts, singing, or even reading a story. You can do that.
You had experience with soccer. You can coach a U7 recreational league.
Even if it's taking a moment with kids facing the same problems you did/are, it's a pragmatic step.
Please note, for the love of pancakes, I'm trying to be encouraging, not critical. Yes, I had to mull over whether or not to actually post this.

I realize I'm outside of the context of the post a bit, but...why isn't it okay to not like kids?
With that said, does anyone know why my inbox might be broken? All it says is "Are you still there?" right above where my messages should be, except I can't click on anything to confirm or deny that.
I don't have anything inherently against kids. But
1. I'm not comfortable around them(like at all, I feel completely incapable of relating to them and extremely uneasy if left alone with one)
2. If it's about me having them on top of other things I also doubt I'd be a good mother.

I very much understand where Seha is coming from, and it does in fact strike me as similar, if not entirely identical, to my wife's feelings on the topic. Won't go into it further here, though if you need someone to talk to on the topic you can always PM me.
Suffice to say my wife would probably be thrilled to be told she was unable to physically have children.

I'm not bothered by my lack of desire for maternity. It's why it never really shocked me or gave me any bad feeling to be told I would hardly ever be able to bear any.

Well, I more meant the way people tend to take it when you tell them that.
I know Mirny encounters a lot of pushback and dirty looks when she tries to explain to people she doesn't want to have children.
man things aren't going too well. 6 people quit the game last week, now down another 11 today from the personal housing and related problems/lies/excuses. .-. running out of people to play with, beginning to wonder why I continue playing myself and continue supporting SE's horrible decisions.

As I mentioned earlier today, I'm having a hell of a time getting motivated thanks to some of the stuff in XI these days just being...really, really irritating. I find myself more drawn to playing WoW or just eschewing MMOs entirely in favor of other stuff.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
