I Have Random Thoughts

I don't expect this to be read, as I'm just getting my thoughts in order. But by all means please comment, because I could really do with some outside perspective.

Well, the time of questioning what the point is of visiting this site has come around again, and I found both this place and, more importantly, myself wanting. I check this site compulsively, and have found myself becoming somewhat callous towards people in my time here. I've made a couple of friends, which is what my goal has been here, but it seems like the negatives outweigh that somewhat less powerful positive.

But in saying all of that, it feels like I finally fit in somewhere, even if it is in only the vaguest sense.

I don't know what the hell to do..... :/

Limit your time on SW but don't leave it, it will give you peace of mind.

I am trying to, and on;y opened it today to clear out all the messages (all one of them) and notifications, which is part of the compulsion. Which is the problem with compulsion; you can't control it and it often seems to sway you into things you'd rather not do, despite yourself

But you are also learning a language and that can keep you busy and away from the compulsion. It will be ok.

I stopped doing that a month ago, when I burnt out on it (I did it really intensively for a while, and it sort of ruined my motivation), and never had the motivation to pick it up again. I'm working on ideas though, which should hopefully fill a similar role

It's all about creativity, if you live in a nice place you can visit places you didn't even know and you're so young there are lots of activities to do in the outside world.

@floatingintheocean: Yeah, I suppose you're right
