Someone told me to kill myself twice today, I don't know why it's been bothering me

[Phosphorescent Panties]

Considering how essential the internet is to modern life, that's a stupid thing to say. It's not like in the 21st century, the internet is still this special and obscure thing that a few freaks sometimes use for fun.

Yeah, sure. But there are people who use the internet and there are people who 'hang out' and socialize on the internet. If you can't take the occasional 'kill yourself' on the internet, maybe you aren't cut out to have an internet social life or especially write humor with public comments. I mean, what were they expecting?

You mean what am I expecting? Dude it's kind of demeaning to watch you have this conversation right in front of me, with someone else. Seriously, I'm right here, you can ask me these things, I'm not an idiot. I can have a conversation.

If you're wondering why I would hang out in public hang out spaces on the internet, well let me first say that I do spend a lot of time in those places. I have had a lot of things hurled my way, a lot of it much worse than that. 

Why would I choose to hang out in a public space? Because all my friends I know irl aren't very good. Yeah I know some people, but they're not people who I really like very much, or who seem to like me. So yes, I do like to spend time in public chat rooms. It's an easy to way to get social interaction, in our very lonely world. 

Something about this particular comment from this person was so bad, it seemed to penetrate to the core of my brain, which just completely undermined any sort of positive self esteem or positivity I could could have been feeling. Yes, it completely defies all of my expectations and logic, which is why I decided to make a thread about it.

What I did not make a thread for, is to have people argue about my competence right in front of my face. I don't know what your intentions are and I'm sure you're a very nice person. I'd like you to know how it makes me feel though, I'm sure you have plenty of respect and dignity to show. Thanks.
