We are the Generation of Mature Gaming...

Don't you think it's true?

I mean look at us!

I'm sure some of us play the shoot-em-up-dan games on the side, but really!

We all came to this place and decided we liked the maturity, the peacefullness. The family we can find in other people we have hardly even seen! The strong bonds of friendship with a game which has no words! How much actions speak so much stronger than words...

This is our haven. Our little slice in the world we know we can always come back to, to do what we want. We'll see people come and go in our stay here... People enjoying it, or just passing through, and whether they enjoyed it or not is up to them...

I want to say I love every single one of you, and I'm so glad that there is such a magical place on such an internet shrouded in so much haze and mystery that some may shy away from...

Thanks for being there for others...

We see pictures of eachother, and I'm sure some of our friends would laugh at us-- wouldn't they? If they knew how much time we spent on such a ridiculous game in which you're a deer, with a human face! It's crazy! But we love it, and no one can take that away from us....

Awww, I didn't mean to get

Awww, I didn't mean to get 'ne one cryin'!! *huggles*

Lol, in my case-- I don't have any friends to laugh at me... I'm lucky! Smiling Lol
I had two amazing friends, but thir mom decided to be a jerk to my mom, and then parents got in the way and knowing them I don't think they'd laugh at me lol... They'd probably want to play too.
And of course my godmother who is a saint...

Smiling
Thanks!!

Aww, you always have such

Aww, you always have such positive things to say, Mystress. <33
And lol, no, my boyfriend (whom, I just realized, is the only real-life friend I have right now; oh dear...) doesn't understand. At first, he thought it was absolutely ridiculous; but I think, after seeing how much the game means to me (the fact that I'm actually talking to other people... x_____x;), he's very supportive. He looks over my TEF art and even some of my posts; even if he doesn't quite understand what's so great about the game, he knows how much I love it, here. :')

-Lt: I have a question,

-Lt: I have a question, have you been anti-social your whole life? Like, even when you are little? Because I think I might have a form of it... I've always been a little antsy with meeting people and tend to cower up and not know what to say, especially around my extended family that I dont know too well, and other people my age, and stuff. :B

Emiva: I think it started

Emiva: I think it started when I was around 9 or 10. I don't really remember, but that's what my parents say. :') I do remember that my first panic attack was in 5th grade. And I also remember that no one knew what was wrong with me for a long time. My parents mostly thought I was trying to get attention, because I kept faking sick to stay home. .____.

Lemon: You're not alone with

Lemon: You're not alone with not having many real life friends, as I explained. I don' think there's something wrong with us... but you know we're not "normal" we're not "part of the majority"... there's something about us-- about all of us who play this game that makes people wonder and not really "want" to know in a way. I don't think the;re afraid of us, I think they'll just leave us alone until they get older and mature and relize that there are places you just can't get to... and then there are places like TEF, when everyone's welcome, and everyone cares about eachother... We just have to wait until the rest of the world catches up to US, we need no catching up to them... Smiling

Or atleast that's the way I see it... Smiling

Mystress -- I think you're

Mystress -- I think you're right. :') I'm happy with who I am; it took me a long time to feel that way, but I think I'm finally coming to terms with the person I am and will be. There are lots of different people in the world, and thus, not everyone understands each other. But places like TEF offer similar people to get together, and find out that there are other people out there who understand. <3

Emiva -- Until 9th grade, I honestly missed about 70% of class. xD Either skipping or staying home "sick". The school was threatening to kick me out, because I missed so many days; and my grades were slipping terribly, even though I was in advanced placement classes up until that point.

But it's not as if I can't function at all in public, and I did go to school for the most part. I was just terrified and anxious all day, and also really depressed. I was very quiet, never talked to anyone except my few trusted friends -- mostly people I knew since elementary school. I remember that there were lots of people who actually tried to become my friend; mostly in art class. xD But looking back, I see that I pushed pretty much everyone away, so I could be alone. I've also had a few panic attacks in class, and that has got to be the single most horrifying experience. xc The worst one was probably while I was on a job shadow -- great impression that made!

But I would just sort of held it all in until I got home, where I'd pretty much pass out from exhaustion. After 9th grade, my mom started to realize that I should probably see a psychiatrist. After so many years, I finally got diagnosed me with Social Anxiety and Agoraphobia (along with a few other things...), and now I'm on medication, and home-schooled. :') I have to get a job in a month, in order to finance my move to the Netherlands. I'm hoping the meds will be enough to help me through that -- I have been feeling better, lately -- but we'll see. x_____x

Anyway, oh dear, how did I hijack this thread?
Sorry, Mystress! .____.

That's really lovely and so

That's really lovely and so true.
You guys are the greatest. I <3 TEF!

LT & Emiva - sounds like a case of low-grade social anxiety disorder, which is perfectly normal for people your age (esp. girls! XP), so you may actually outgrow these symptoms. Be strong!

Oh don't worry about it

Oh don't worry about it Lemon!! Really, it's good to get that kind of stuff out, and enyone's welcome to talk about anything they want to (within reason) about themselves on any of my threads!! It's good to learn that there are others like you, and to feel secure within your space Smiling

I wouldn't be the person I am now if I was still in public school... My mom said my "lil old spirit was just to kind and fragile to go back to people who don't understand and hate"... o.O... SOooo I'm homeschooled now, and I'm welcome to go back next year, but who in the right mind would do that?

My sister on the otherhand, seems to need the interaction and social aspect... the whole "wanting to have friends and to be accpeted"... I pretty much flipped that, and accepted I didn't need friends clogging up my time, they just give you problems... I don't need the social aspect, and if it wasn't for TEF I wouldn't feel like I belonged at all.... Smiling
