How do I come across to you?

Unplugged's picture
Oh look who fell for it.


- How do you see me? How do I come across to you?

- Do you have experiences with my deer in-forest?
How does my deer come across to you? Do you feel uncertain approaching?

- If you remember my old deer Mozart and were uncomfortable approaching him, have your views changed in any way, or do you still get the same vibe?


a) "Negative" stuff is allowed. This is titled "how do I come across to you?" and not "please validate me"
b) You don't have to know me. Information from few select people is biased. That's not what I'm here for.
c) Please don't feel obliged to comment. Especially if we know each other better. I don't want that and I won't hold it against you if you don't.
d) You can answer one of these questions, or you can answer all of them. It's up to you


I've been a little demanding lately. Thanks everyone for taking your time for me. Smiling

I am uncertain to approach you in the forest, because in the forest you are you -- it would feel much worse to be rejected by someone who plays themselves than by someone who plays a character. That's not just you, though, I'm like that with everyone I don't know.

god you people are quick. I

god you people are quick. I respond to one person, press f5 and suddenly there's another reply.


rofl quad, I find that funny because I feel I don't respond to your blogs enough and don't keep up with your stories. :s I'm flattered though.

Sypris! Thanks so much for the feedback Smiling This is good because I try to keep things simple when I explain. Thank you ♥

SnowSauria, thank you! I don't talk to you much so thanks for reaching out for me.

flyleaf Smiling thank you too for talking to me even though we don't know each other well! I always see your screenshots, you're always friendly and fun to be around.

Alpeldille. You too thanks for reaching out for me and for your opinion! This is good to know. Your concern makes sense I guess, I'd probably be the same. I always try to be open and welcoming to anyone but the rejection thing is hard to work against. I know I feel sort of intimidated by you so I'm especially quiet with you :x if we ever happen to cross paths in the game, I find it much much easier to spend time with people there than on the community.

I wish you were demanding

I wish you were demanding more often. I feel like you give so much and I never know how to give back to you. But it's ok for you to not need things from me.
Hmm.
You are very intelligent and analytical. But there's something abstract in what you write and draw. Maybe you are mostly left brain?

ps-
I am very attracted to the way you are in the forest and the way you catalog ben's experiences. Maybe because it is somewhat purist? Attempting to use the forest as it was intended by the creators in the beginning? I don't dislike the way others play, but when I think of what I want the forest to be, it is more like yours. Mysterious. Somewhat anonymous. Constantly changing abstract rules,

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

I don't really know what to think as I don't really understand you.
But I do know that I really like you and that's more important. (:

Maybe a little distant too.

The world is quiet here.

Veegamer-- It's strange how few you can know of people even after a long time. :s I believe I don't know much about you either.

ocean-- Philosophical is new to me. :b Thank you. I don't see you often in the forest.

Eyestrain, tl;dr: You think too highly of me. Smiling
Long version:
eyestrain I think you think too highly of me. I do what I enjoy doing and some things just so happen to be useful for others. It's a part of my identity that I feel the need to validate. I strive to do these things because they validate me, they validate that I am capable of things and that I am not useless and that I am an individual with my own interests. Nobody asks me to do this but I still do it to assure myself that I am an independent and authentic person, and a person who can do good without having to be asked for it. But I also do it for the attention and to see people recognize me and my talents and that they see and regognize that I am a capable and good human being.
I could go on and on on tangents here, but point being, though I don't actively seek people out I need the constant validation. I constantly need to be told that I am good enough to be cared about. This clashes heavily with the wish of being independent though and is one of the reasons that give me trouble mantaining relationships even though I need them, I really really need them sometimes but I stay in denial.
Putting me on a pedestal is useless because I am deeply convinced I am flawed. Denying or candy-coating pressures me because I just know they're having expectations of me I can't live up to, and eventually they're going to realize that and fall hard, and be disappointed, ergo I am a genuinely horrible person. Because of this I try to see (and love) somebody as who they really are. Maybe this is part of the objectivity that some people perceive about me while actually everything is happening on a very subjective level.

I haven't done a professional left/right brain test but free ones I did said I am just a bit more right brain, which works well for me.

Yes I think purist is a good way to describe it. In a conversation I once mentioned I am playing something close to a "hipster deer". Sticking out tongue I tend to trail off of this way of gameplay but at some point always "wash myself clean" again.
It's funny that you mentioned this because in fact when I was just planning things after the death of my character I intended to sometimes play in an almost... dadaist you could call it? way. Strip off actions from the meaning and intentions we gave them and press buttons just for the sake pressing buttons and to evoke a reaction. Basically interaction in the most fundamental way.

I'd like to get to know you

I'd like to get to know you better, but as it is, I'm shy towards everyone ^^;

From what I've seen of you, I think you're a wonderful person, very helpful, very unique.

I never saw your reaction to this.

Long version-
you are me, aren't you.
A me with different talents.
I think, the craziness you inflict on yourself is a powerful driving force for growth, and it is not bad for you to be blind to how good you are. It motivates you to keep going. Even if I as an outsider wish you could see your beauty.

Though maybe if you knew telling me I don't know what I think of you is somewhat insulting, you would be more willing to accept my thoughts of you. I know my thoughts. I do not flatter or praise insincerely. Nor am I a fool who is starstruck by novelty.
==
I'm glad you play as you do. Sometimes I feel lost in the forest because I know there is another level other players are on, talking with words, and so much happens there. I want to somehow balance the wordless forest with what I do here on the community. Somehow.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

I don't know you very well,

I don't know you very well, and I've never met any of your deer(as far as I know, anyway), but I'd definitely like both of those things to change! Smiling You are a very interesting person, amazingly talented(OMG the CSS), very helpful, nice... you get the point. I don't know you well enough to say much more, but this is my general impression of you at this time. Smiling
