Chatterbox: Down to Earth

CB Confessions

CB Confessions

So here is a thread to post confessions (under an alias or not) about things that you wouldn't want people to associate you with. At least, that's how I think of it. And please, for the sake of privacy, unless someone specifically gives you permission, please do not attempt to guess anyone. I only have one for now-

In my first few months on the CB, I said I was a few months older than I actually was.

Wow, I've been feeling guilty about that for a while. It feels nice to get that out.

Anyways, even if nobody posts on this thread, I'm still glad I could get that out, if anonymously. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to post this with my name.

Do you guys want me to come out about my CB secrets (the ones I can think of)? I'm sort of indifferent either way but I'd like to know if anyone would like to hear me confess.

Honestly, you shouldn’t share secrets just because people want. If you think you should confess, do. It’s surprising how good it feels to admit stuff even if you think you don’t want to.

Awww, literally everyone here I look up to or consider my friend or both! You guys are such creative and amazing people! We all make mistakes, so don't feel bad for yourself for making them! It's a part of learning; you know, failure is the mother of success.

And, also, this is Alexandra, though I doubt anyone remembers me. I "left" in 2016/2017. I've got a confession too: I left because I got too busy, but I kept coming back to check (this place is just too awesome!), and I posted under a whole bunch of fake names. In... April-ish, I think?... I finally decided on a name and joined again, but I never told anyone that I wasn't actually new... I feel kinda bad about it, but, you know, I've been having a lot of fun on here!

I haven't been around here for a while but.... why not I guess  

I've literally never told anyone about this and I don't know how many people even remember this  CBer but..... *inhales deeply* I MIGHT have had the tiniest bit of a crush on Hot Air Balloon. At some point. In time. I dunno. 

I'm going to quietly disappear now.

Jaguar and you? Darn HAB, you’re popular!

I’ve had friends comment on my threads just to make them seem popular.

Sometimes I get really depressed because I feel like my stories aren't filled with emotion, and that is (to me) is the most important part of writing, to weave your stories from your heart. I'm not an emotional person, and so my only outlet is my writings, and I want them to be the something that I cannot be. I want it to be my (seemingly non-existent) emotions, my security, and my beautiful side. The things that I am not, and probably never will be.

ROUGE. WILDLING.

*deep breath*

I've been wanting to say this for a while.

You think you're not perfect, not beautiful, maybe not good enough. It's obvious. But everyone has their imperfections. Mine are probably worse. But the answer isn't to create a lie, someone perfect. No body will ever be perfect. No one likes a perfect person. Yes, I fantasize and write about a place where people can comfort me. But I've given up creating those perfect characters. I suggest that you stop making people you wish you were. It'll just lead to more pain. Embrace the imperfections.  

Write about what isn't perfect, and you'll learn to accept.

Your story for the writing competition was beautiful and full of emotion! I loved it! -LB

I never get complemented on complement threads. I've complemented people, but after I do the thread dies. I'm afraid that's because people think I'm annoying and can't think of anything good to say about me. I didn't use my real name, because I didn't want to sound like I was begging for attention. 

Thank you for reading my inexplicably small rant. Have a wonderful day:)

Hold up. @i What is your real name 'cause Imma gonna go compliment you if you tell me...

Also @...someone I think your reply wasn't very nice at all. All I wanted was help, but I got your comment, and it hurt me a lot. I still integrate problems into my charries. I don't think I've ever insulted anybody on purpose on any thread, but lately I feel I've been being targeted by many other CBers for my charries or my confessions and even my AE, and it hurts a lot and I may decide to leave because of it. I don't enjoy being on here as much as I did. The people on Kyngdom are MUCH more polite, even though there's only seven or eight on there. I don't want to be driven off but I want much less to have to stand up to being hurt. I posted my confession in confidence that I would be helped or maybe even comforted, but no. I got this.

..someone, you just tipped me farther into wanting to leave the CB.

Nihil says whmp. Excuse me, I am not a whimp. I've stood my ground.

"True"

Yes, it is true. Thank you Nihil.

I'm not one of the other posters on this thread, but I just saw it and wanted to say something. 

Hey Rogue! I'm so sorry you feel that way or if I have done anything to make you feel like that. I think you're characters are good and the RPG posts from you that I've seen are definitely not lacking emotion. Girl, you're a real writer. And your enthusiasm is very contagious.

I'm also sorry if I'm bursting in on anything here. Just wanted to make sure you know we're glad you're here and please don't leave!

You can defend yourself, and that’s more then I can say right now.

You have emotion. I know that. So, how about you write a story about a girl who tries to do something, but people keep hurting her for it. And maybe that girl still goes on, a finds a place where people accept and help her. I hope that happens, but it might not.

Ok, I’m sorry. But maybe (if you do leave) you’ll come back one day. And then I’ll see you and know right away that you’ve changed into a better person which is something all of us (especially me) can do.

Rogue Wildling, I thought what ...someone said was perfectly fine, unless it was changed or something from when you saw it to when I saw it. It was pretty polite... "I suggest that you stop making people wish you were" was a teensy weensy bit rude, but it was the rudest thing in the comment... and it wasn't even that bad. And that is NOT something to leave over... and don't call us rude, either. We try to help everyone, but sometimes we may unintentially be rude. And I'm pretty sure we're just as nice as those Kyndomers.
