Had a similar experience at a laundromat a few years ago. Similar setup, when I was at college I would use the laundromat, and I would bring my laptop and practice Skullgirls combos. I play with a custom arcade stick, massive thing that I've put some decent money into. As I'm playing, an elderly woman walked up to me and said "wow, that thing you've got there is just the neatest thing I've ever seen! It's like the old Pac-Man machines!" and I laughed and showed her how I play the game with it. She thanked me and left, and I just kept practicing my combos, but with a bit more appreciation for the game.

There was a nice stranger dude who was really energetic about going to the convenience store and he opened the door for me, I guess maybe I felt good about that because I was feeling down after a uni exam that went horribly wrong, he cheered me up a little

A few years ago I was walking around campus caught in up a lot of thoughts and frustrations that didn't really matter. I saw some kids skateboarding in the parking lot and walked past them, thinking that they were a pain and that they were probably judging me as much as I was judging them. One of them stopped what he was doing, called out to me, and when I didn't respond called out to me again. He told me that he "Hoped I had a really good day". It was such a sweet, unnecessary kindness that reminded me that I didn't want to be the jerk judging kids and overthinking misery. Wherever that kid is now I hope he's having a good day, too.

When I go out with friends and family, it's usual places that are considered cheap eats. When to a new one and the services was so good yet homey. Wait staff treated us like a long-lost family rather than customers. It was a nice comfy feeling.

perfumes and stuff change their smell over time coz of the volatile ingredients that eventually dissipate. so if that cologne is like 2 years old or something since you opened it, it's probably changed a bit.

I smell other people's vapes
What a filthy habit

I like vape smells too.. but people are generally obnoxious with them.

I like to brew tea in my room for both the smells and the tea. I like sage the most. The tea is also great to drink. Very relaxing.

I want to sniff Louise Francoise-tan's strawberry-blonde hair.

thank you, I have a lot of relaxing pictures like that for wallpapers

I'm missing nature in spring. I hate this, but I rarely have control of my life. It's beautiful here. I'm going out in two days though. Two or three. I need to be in nature.

I talked to a girl today for two hours, she is so cute. I need to socialize more, if I can get more energy like this.

heh… it's been about a year now since posting here. I suppose I should've realized that my life is a constant loop. Today has been quite silent, I woke up with no one home and I haven't seen a single person outside. It was windy and overcast. I will learn piano later, it's been a nice day. Good night and see you all in autumn hopefully.

I'm reading a book where one of the main characters is named Candide, I wonder if that was meant to be a direct reference. It's called The Snail on the Slope. It is quite good so far.

Glad you're feeling positive. In my experience thinking positive doesn't work and its just guess level advice that keeps getting spread around.

Most of your thoughts are downstream from what's going on in your life. The key is to force yourself to act better and do things that will pay off eventually. Doesn't matter whether you are in a good mood or feel like shit as long as it gets done. Eventually you'll have some good results coming down the pipe and your mindset will improve.

I'm sure you've heard this all before but doing the basics to stay healthy goes a long way. I found a game changer was fasting once or twice a week. It's a pain to do but if you can take a day and just eat dinner, no other meals, you'll feel a lot better afterwards. If that's too hard, the day before try eating high fat no carb keto meals and it will make the transition easier. Just doing the basics with health, fitness, getting you life together will force you to be more positive. It's not easy but the idea is pretty simple.

Another game changer I found is having what I would call a mutation mindset or some less cringy title lol. Basically people get stuck in certain patterns with how they think and act. Your logic and conventional thinking can only get you so far. Sometimes its good to try random stuff and do things you would normally never do and see what happens. A lot of people think they suck at something, no one likes them, their life sucks or stuff like that. If you start doing things differently that might not be the case, or at least you'll have the hope that things can change.

It's like evolution, you mostly have natural selection but there are also mutations. Cows are bred to have the most meat, and people follow a pattern if it feels good. One day you might randomly get a cow with two tails which ends up being a good thing because you can sell more ox tail soup. If you try random patterns or act in a way you would normally never think of things might get a lot better. Most of the time mutated cows get bad birth defects, and trying something new isn't always going to be a positive experience but you just have to roll the dice once in a while.

>Do any of you enjoy going out/socializing?
No. Not at all. I do have a friend, though, we go back a while. I see him about once every year, and we talk about stuff. He's pretty smart, so we have interesting conversations, mostly about stupid shit.
I honestly don't understand how people like being around other people.

You articulated this so well, I should show this to my therapist. Whenever I get close to someone, I freak out, it's asphyxiating.

i'm still young, and i find that it's always hobbies and stuff (i.e. chess, video game scenes, music scenes) that bring people together, the familiarity between each other's tastes in things

been making a lot of friends lately because i've been throwing myself into that stuff, and to answer the question, YES, i enjoy socialising

ain't til you spend time around people that you realise all this online-induced misanthropy and ideas of herd mentality is just blown super far out of proportion

I got a two or so friend groups though I never actually made the active effort to befriend most of their members. Just one or two people who in turn introduced me to everyone else.

Thing is: you have to know when to draw the line when "hanging out". I feel like being around people TOO often makes you venerable to whatever petite drama overcomes the average person or worse yet sabotages your own sense of self.

Grass is green with red cherry trees,
Sun shines and birds sing through my glass window,
Though somber feelings fill my heart,
And summer has its stormy nights,
Life is a blessing I can endure,
Life goes on in summer light.

Do not go gentle into that good night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Are psalms ok?

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
