Welcome to the couch, old and new! A place to hang out - sometimes you get immediate feedback, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you feel like a nut... sometimes, well.... which kind?

---------

Shouting, "Cool Whip" tends to bring others out of the cushions if you're feeling lonely.

This is a chatty thread. All are welcome. We're kind of psychologically oriented, sometimes. We try to be supportive. At times we discuss what that means.

It’s a place to plop down on the couch when you come home from work or wherever, or wake up in the middle of the night, or check in at lunch, rant a bit or not, and be among friends.

We advise you not to drink or drug and text your therapist ("t") - we speak from experience....

Sometimes the thread moves fast and you might get overlooked; sometimes it moves slowly and all you hear are crickets. Sometimes you get hugged or thanked pages later. So if it's a bigger question, you might want to start a new thread.
----------

On the contrary - that is the best time to create Couches.

Interesting title.

My brain was thinking a couch is kinda like a shelf. Except it's a shelf for people. Don't ask. I have no idea

You have only your shelf to blame, then.

Something soo embarrassing happened earlier today. I was outside with family playing, and I lifted up my little cousin, and as I lifted him it pulled my dress up, and I wasn't wearing underwear because it's all in the laundry, and my male cousin saw. He didn't say anything of course, but gahhh!

Me too, but all I can think of is procrastinating and writing meandering sentences where everyone's forgotten what on earth I was talking about by the time they get to the end of them. (<-- Exhibit A).
Not sure anyone needs a tsar of that...

Mine might be czar of wanderlust. Or the patron saint of the grass being greener elsewhere. Hmm

So brain dead. Good early morning couchies! Just picked up future son-in-law from work, after 3 hours sleep, so it's going to be lights right back out for me. See you later!

Growly, my first thought was your quest for adventure, and granite my thought for you was your impressive creativity. You're both already tsars in my eyes!

I'm so tired of people in my life telling me to think positive. Was asked to reframe a painful anecdote.

Maybe we newbies could just make up their own Tsar title while on the couch/shelf?
I'll be the Tsarina of Gutter Minds

Tsar of Obfuscatory Rhetoric? (It's a useful skill to have, imo.)

Heck, it might have saved the real czars. (Sorry. Just can't write tsar for the historical figures.)

I've been depressed lately and it's difficult for me not to read neutral interactions as negative. A Twitter acquaintance just asked me what he acknowledged to be a personal question. I answered his indeed very personal question and wrote some other things as well.

His reply only addressed the other things and did not even acknowledge my answer to his question. I find that confusing at the very least and my depressed brain keeps filling the gaps with the most negative material it can come up with! UGH!
