A Thread of Sadness
Please, feel free to let out anything that is keeping you down and gloomy today. This thread is about sadness. If you feel you want to talk about something bad that has happened to you recently, do that. I find it helps to speak up about sad things that are going on around you. I will try my best to talk with you and I'm sure others will as well. I know, as many people here are very helpful and welcoming. You are not alone.

@RockMySocks not noticing me
That's sad
1 like = 1 hope for Laura to notice me
On the Sims forum , when The Sims 4 was coming out , people used to get into fights over it a lot. The forum was basically split into two parts , people who hated The Sims 4 and people who were excited for it to come out. Things got pretty awful over there during that year , especially when it was announced Toddlers weren't going to be in the game. I was on the side of people who wanted to give the game a chance , partly because I was sick of my Sims Three game crashing no matter what , and partly because I just liked how the game looked. I liked the sims , the emotions , and the scenery.
I was involved with a group of people who were my friends on there , and most of them thought The Sims 4 was crap. Some of them were nice to me , but there were a couple who I just could not get along with , no matter what. I was the youngest in the group , and that was used against me a lot , both in PM and in forum chat. People inferred that my opinion didn't matter because , according to them , I wasn't going to be spending my own money on the game. This made me intensely mad , since I saved every spare cent I could get my hands on for that game. That didn't mean anything either.
I got banned from the forum , and what happened after was that slowly , almost every one of my friends on there slowly stopped talking to me through EA chat. Even the person whom I had considered my closest friend on there didn't even bother to add me on Origin.
We didn't talk to each other for months - until I went onto the forums just to see what was going on , and found he and some others were harassing one of my other friend's walls - one of the only friends who had bothered to talk to me over the months.
Another person on the forums had started her own site , which is where I confronted this friend and the others. After a heated incident and another person insulting me because of my age , I logged off. I got blocked from that site too , but I just can't stomach the thought of talking to any of them. What I did on the Sims forum was stupid , and I realize this - but those other people got banned on there too , and most of them didn't act any better than I did. If I try to contact any of them - assuming they would even talk to me - I can't help but think I would fall into the same pit again , and the thought of that makes me want to cry.
Sorry for the mile long post but ... this always makes me sad.
I'm sorry you had to go through that discrimination because of your age and your interest in the Sims. Even the fact your friends would ignore you, I'm sorry. I can kind of relate to that though. I am an introvert. I don't have a large circle of friends and am not very confident in social situations. When I got into secondary school, the world around me changed. Everyone was becoming much more immature and (in my POV, just downright rude.) I hadn't "converted" to their ways. My friends started to discriminate me, calling me childish because I don't swear like them or that am too nice, too weak. [Oh,] I think, [I'm sorry my parents sheltered me throughout my childhood and am socially awkward!] I couldn't take it. I stayed away from them and made a few other friends in my class. A year after that incident, we made up (well, me and SOME of that group) and are friends once again. I think they accept me a bit more for who I am. (and to be honest, I basically was the most mature of the group back then, and I think I still am... heh.)
So there, a mile long post for a mile long post.

Finally people won't think I'm desperate and clingy
I still think you are.
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
February 27 was my aunt's first year death anniversary. She left the world too soon. She probably would have been alive if the doctors actually ran test on her to see what was wrong her. However, she is gone and I miss her so much. On my old phone I couldn't delete her phone number or her voicemails because I just couldn't grasp reality. Just listening to her voice made me cry and I just felt so heavy. I just remember when I used to stay at her house over the weekends and watch movies and walk to the gas station and walking her dogs and eating junk, etc. She was like my best friend and I would talk to her almost everyday. I really miss her. She was the one of the most kindest and funniest person in my life.
that's sad. I'm sorry. My grandmother passed away this past summer. It was about 4 days before her 90th birthday. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about 4 years ago. It was very sad to see her go deeper into that illness. She'd start forgetting things, and we put her in a care center who specialised in Dementia patients. Some days she would know who you were, and talk to you, but during most days she'd be very confused. [ It made me so sad to see her like that. She kept repeating 'I don't know' most of the time and sobbing.

About a year and a half ago, I think she completely forgot how to speak, and she had quite a few falls.. We had her in a wheelchair for the rest of that. She knew what was going on, and acknowledged you, she had her eyes open and look at you, but always sat in silence. My father was sad when she passed away. It was really hard to see him mourn for his mother. We're all okay here now, though. She was a great woman who didn't deserve what happened to her...
I am very sorry to hear that. So many good people leave this world and it saddens me, loved ones especially.
