I can't handle it if someone thinks that I'm talking too much, or of I'm going on about one topic too much. They have no idea how much effort it takes to stay on one topic, and how little about it I'll actually share in an attempt to not overwhelm them. And that if I'm talking about a problem, ANY problem, it's still a really big deal. I typically only talk about things which I've dealt with to a pretty good extent - as in, it's not what is currently bothering me. If I DO share what is currently bothering me... that is a huuuuuge leap of faith I've just made.

And Mandrec - you aren't staying alive for them. You are staying alive for you, and for the people that you haven't met yet who are actually worth it. Your life isn't any more a waste of time than anyone else's!

I think the world ending would actually be the most interesting way to die. No one will have died that way before in the past so it's unique... but everyone else will be instantly dying at the same time, so it would be a truly shared experience and unique in that sense... but yeah. We unfortunately won't be around to see the end of the world, but it is fascinating to wonder what it will actually be like!
