so here we go, let's talk about myself. first things first I have to say that I have an idiosyncrasy for the harangue where I should do a long, well-structured and heterogeneous monologue about my life as my personality were a short coherent synopsis of a film, so this is the reason why that kind of topic isn't the most comfortable environment for me :3
well, besides that, I'm not an english mothertongue - I live in europe, to be precise in italy-, I have a sheer amount of traits of autism spectrum disorder, I am somewhat of hikikomori and at the moment I'm withstanding an hard-time darker than black. so I think that's enough for now, see you around on the forum

Hi, stavrogin.

I like WrongPlanet, too. It's here, any time of the day or night, and there's always something going on.
And the fact that you're five or six hours ahead of me doesn't matter. I can't think fast enough in real time anyway.
It helps when you have a specific problem that you can articulate, and it's also good to focus on someone else's issues for a while.

So, what's happening that made you come out from under that invisibility cloak?
Do you have something half-way between the full-length monologue and the short synopsis?
Your profile doesn't say how old you are. (You got the gender, country & diagnosis.) That usually helps.

mainly it is due to just one reason: sometimes, when I start to feel the unbearable weight of my aboulic condition and the heavy ceiling (of my room) weighs like a lid on my groaning spirit (and yes, of course I'm doing an interpolation of baudelaire's fleurs du mal), I need to peep out from my invisibility cloak and get a large breath of fresh air from the world outside.

there's something in the middle, between the detailed report of my monologue and a sort of brief synopsis, but what is in the half-way between these extremities is a messy stream of consciousness of images dipped in the random thoughts of my soliloquy.

anyhow, in the matter of extremities, I am somewhat around 18 and 21 years old - I don't use to say my age (it's another one of my idiosyncrasies), maybe 'cause I consider this kind of knowledge as poorly explanatory.-

Ok.
That's a lot of fancy-a**-words to say essentially nothing. May I assume that you have no particularly pressing problems at the moment or impressive achievements to announce, and are just poking your nose out to say "Hi"?
Hi.

I'll have to bicker with you on that one. The difference between, say, 18 and 58 can be significant, depending on the situation or topic. If you want to talk about Star Wars or HP, we're all probably around eleven years old, while in real-world stuff things are not so simple.

Keep going. I'm listening. And it's giving me an excuse to avoid doing my taxes. (Due April 15th around here.)

Hi.

hello to you too :3
foremost, besides your loud and clear sarcasm, as a not native speaker I could be flattered by what you are saying about the use of "fancy words" - I really didn't notice that I was using an "highbrow" language-, but let's put aside sarcasm and moot points and let's start to talk about your objections. As you can guess I love debate, so there's nothing of contradictory if I do such massive discourse but nevertheless I'm having pressing problems at the very same time: instead of considering these two points as one excludes the other one, you should consider them as quite related among themselves. firstly, because the words play a significant role on the way how I withstand my own unease (sometimes when my unease is getting worse I wind up myself in a sort of aphasia state, furthermore I have a couple of OCD linked to the linguistic field), secondly because I find that a sharp and aware control of language - for example, the wide use of periphrasis could be helpful- is the best manner to pratice escapism. There's a lot of life out there - lot of troubles, a sheer amount of platitudinous and predictable aspects of daily routine, a traffic congested crossroads of existences-, thus I don't need to put something linked to my life in every sentence that I have to write, otherwise I detect the necessity to draw apart myself from life for awhile as best as I can. stop thinking about to write something meaningful and just focus on the shape instead of content - I'd rather an alienating way of writing, with a well-stocked patrimony of circumlocutory speech, instead of a meaningful monologue, that's what I meant-

I disagree, it depends on the way you examine the subjects

Well, I'm not going to begin to try and use fancy words to avoid simply saying "welcome"
