-, and I've been sort of able to tell nowadays if someone's being genuine or not....Either way, whether it's serious or for attention, I never found it healthy*. Even in the lowest points of my short life, I've tried to stay positive no matter how hard it can be...Of course, I've had someone there who I could vent to, and that's incredibly therapeutic. Having someone there for you is a wonderful feeling, at least from what I've seen. And even when they're not there, just giving myself something to do helps with any sort of negative attitude I get for a long period.
Thank you, that's really nice to hear. Feel free to chat whenever you want, I always like having a good conversation with people.
My avatar and signature are both from Bleach, actually. I haven't seen One Piece at all.
(*Just a disclaimer, I do realize that sometimes it can't be helped to have depressed feelings. In that case I try to help if I can, and just do what's best for the person.)
