im not on here much but i have bipolar and im thinking of posting as the scribbler when im in the low and the charlatan when im in the manic spots cause scribbler was already a seriously gloomy and scribbly if you get what I mean but the charlatan is new but it can relly represent the weird anoying confidence that comes from nowhere. like there the same person just two different side like irl kind of and im not good at anything so it would match with the nane. celeste is still there because i like the idea of her being a sort of angel or light in the dark confusion but i think im chaning her name to Aurora since it sounds better. so yeah

That sounds like a good idea to help express yourself, if you feel good about it!  I will have to kindly request that you not go by the chartalan, as I am currently writing a ski lodge with that name... It's unfortunate, I know, but I don't want people to get confused.

...And I just realized I've been spelling the word chalatan wrong-

So, I have this friend in real life and they're really loud and insensitive to other people to the point of almost being rude and they butt into conversations and they chew with their mouth open at lunch :((((

and I feel like they're going to ruin my reputation at school if I keep hanging out with them 

But I can't just ditch them cause we've been friends for years (and they don't really have other friends because of the above) and they're really a good person deep down inside

And I made some new friends this year and i think they're intimidating them, and I feel like this is an impossible situation.

And now I feel bad about saying that about them but I had to tell someone.

Ok first- Me too. It's tough, I know. I have a friend like that and sometimes they're super sweet and then they'll do... well, that. Don't ditch them, promise me you won't. It may sound like a good option but trust me when I say it isn't. Instead, slowly grow apart from them. Don't sever the friendship though, it's good to keep a little thread, I guess. I really hope this helps. :)

thx, it's good to know that someone else has gone through this. I wasn't really thinking of ditching them, I know I couldnt do that. Like, they're a great person, and I would never want to hurt their feelings.

Ok, bit of a rant coming up, but a lot has been going wrong lately. Least of which being the girl I was kinda lowkey going out with cheated on me and ughhh whyyyyyyyyy.

Basically, we're part of the same friend group, and we've known each other from before falling into this group of friends, both personally when we were younger and from other mutal friends(still having nothing to do with this friend-group) and yeah we just starting casually going out(not in a super-romantic thing, or anything) but we were just taking it slow to get to know each other as people and just be really close friends before getting to be more than that. And so, we were definitely getting there, like, we even went on another date(which I initiated, usually it's the other way around) last Friday, but then this week I come to school and um??? One of our other friends(who is pretty attractive, to be fair)apparently got asked out by her. Like, ??? Excuse me? This girl!!! She asks me out(like, in a dating way), and then just a few weeks later, without breaking it off or even letting me know, goes decides to go out with someone else(also in a romantic way)???

So, not wanting a misunderstanding to occur, I confronted her about it, and she was like, "Oh. Uh, yeah. *wince* Sorry, I didn't think you would find out." WHICH I MEAN-

It sounds like she was less sorry about, uh, you know, the CHEATING, and more sorry that I heard about it so soon. Ugh. See, this was never a problem until I got involved with this crowd... *deep breath*

(I don't blame our other friend, because she only knew we were close, not that we were dating, because we hadn't been super loud about it to the wider friend-group, since it isn't really any of their business and I didn't want it to be awkward if we did break up. Which. I guess that worked. No one except my best friend could tell anything was up until after I told them.)

So yeah, that happened. I'm just like :/ Oh well. That kinda sucks, 'cause I did like her, especially after spending some more time 1-on-1 and all that. Like she's funny, pretty, nice but can be sorta sarcastic at times(not unsimilar to me, which is one of the things I enjoyed most about being around her, like we just had chemistry and got along really well because of it.)

Oh, and today, during lunch(I'm kinda petty and she knows it from when we knew each other as kids) I was just giving her the silent treatment again, not answering her "PLEASE LET'S GET BACK TOGETHER", talking to our other friends(one of the shier ones just confessed and started going our with her crush a couple days ago soooo... fUN! mwahahahha) and the ex-girlfriend girl came in late(she had lunch detention for being late to a class yesterday) and SHE JUST STARTS EYEING ME AGAIN. Then she comes up to me, who's trying to ignore her so I don't get annoyed or upset or anything(I don't want another 7th grade drama incident...(that involved her and my other friend, completely unrelated except it involved her)) AND SHE'S LIKE "Oh my gosh, you look amazing today... LikeI'mnottryingtogetyoubackoranything, but like, wow. Your outfit is amazing too." And I'm just not having any of this, right? Cause no.

It's after lunch now and I'm just trying to process this. I don't want to believe that she's this superficical, but like :/ Do I have much of a choice with what she's shown me? It's basically, "Oh, you're pretty! Wanna go out?" and then two seconds later "Oh, you're also really pretty... How about we go out together?" Hng.

And then one of our other friends(yesterday when we we texting in a group-chat) was like 'what? you had a boyfriend?" once I told them what happened(without names, of course) and I was just like "..." :/ Umm... Sure. So yeah, in a rough state, plus I had a bunch of other stuff going on, like issues with medication, a bunch of tests this week, plus lots AND LOTs of homework and it's the end of the semester AHHHHHHH- No fun. The timing was absolutely terrible.

So I'm kinda drained, to be completely honest. Sorry about the RP. I know I said I'd get the next chapter out ASAP. :(

I will get to it when I get the chance.

Okay, first of all, that girl shouldn't have done that. I know you know that, but seriously. Second, I know this might not be what you want to hear right now, but if she's the kind of person who'd do that, then maybe you shouldn't be together (sorry if that was callous; I'm clueless when it comes to romance), because you deserve better. You're way too fabulous to be treated like that. Third, you weren't being petty. She did something seriously uncool, and your response was 100% justified. Fourth, I know you don't want to think badly of her, but from a third party point of view, she was acting like a jerk. I'm sorry if that offends you or her, but once again: seriously uncool. It's not wrong or bad or mean to acknowledge that, if not about her, about her actions. Fifth, I know this is just one of things that's hard about your life right now, and all I can really say to that is I'm sorry. I'm just going to quote Aslan here and say, "Courage, dear heart." I promise it will get better. And finally, I just want to say that although I'm not in the RP you mentioned, I'm sure I can speak for everyone in it when I say--take your time. Make some matcha tea, cuddle with pets (if you have any), and take your time. You matter, Jaybells. Know that, and don't be afraid to act on it.

I'm going to be honest, Jay. I don't really know what advice to give. I'm here to give you this.

*hugs*

You deserve so much better than that. You're such an amazing person. I've never been in a romantic relationship, but I have a friend who was cheated on, and it really hurt her. Honestly, I think you should do this: Walk up to her, tell her it hurt your feelings, and walk away before she can respond. It's not to make her feel guilty. You leave so she doesn't give an excuse, and try to get you back. It's... freeing yourself, ig?

It's not okay that she treated you like that, Jay. No one should be able to treat anyone like that.

Love you, Jay (platonically ofc)

Ahhhhh, thank you so much for all the support m'mates! Y'all're the best! I literally love you so much(also platonically lol) Snazzy and Starli!!! <3

I'm not too broken up about it, just more... Frustrated, if nothing else, about it? It makes it kinda hard to focus, since it's like, "Why??? Why did they do that?" But I really do need to push through and let it roll off me like it's nothing. It really is alright, after all.

(By the way, I'm not offended by anything you said, Snazzy. You're totally right, but I still feel like it looks a lot worse on paper, so I might now have done the situation justice. :/ Like, we've known each other for a pretty long time, and she's always been kinda hanging onto me(I only just recently noticed it was like that, and not just her being an annoyin' kid :p) and I feel like she's more irresponsible than necessary malocious or toxic on purpose... Oh well, point being, I don't hate her or feel really angry, it's just a bit disappointing since we got along so well. Like, that's probably one of the keys details most of all emotional manipulation cases, but still. Ahh, no se.) 

Today was much better, though! I won line-tag in gym today (last one standing, YEAH!) shocked some of the dudes in my gym class(I haven't been able to play this this semester's class until today since I broke my foot a while back, but it's all healed now! I get kinda amused by the shock everytime, even though I don't truly consider myself a 'girl,' which is what seems to be what surprised them... Sexism oof-) and got a buncha homework done early, with no more tests for the rest of the week! I even got some poems out. :D

Fun stuff, I s'ppose. 

Anyway, thanks again! You two are angels! *group hugs* Keep well and mentally healthy to, omaidachi! [means: "you," plural/informal in Japanese]

Yay I'm so glad you're doing better! I am intimately familiar with the feeling of what the heck? mixed with gah why?? mixed with blergh guess I'll just keep going :/ mixed with just enough I'll be okay. But also, I'm really happy that today was a good day for you! I'm so glad you showed those (apparently sexist) boys the full extent of your fabulousness. :)

I know its childish, but i get sad when my threads don't get much attention. And that i dont know any one on here. I try to persuade my friends but they dont listen. I dont have anything in common with anyone on here, and i only talk to people for maybe a couple days.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I can relate to the feeling of not having much in common with anybody, or feeling like you don't know anybody. And it's not childish to be upset if your threads don't get much attention - that's completely understandable. I'm actually working on a drawing for your Art Style Swap thread, but I probably won't get around to posting it today. You seem like a really cool person, and I'd love to get to know you better. If you ever want to talk about...well, anything, really, don't be afraid to ask. I'm sure you have a lot more in common with other CBers than you realize.
