You should tell them when you are most comfortable telling them. If you are more cautious it keeps you from dealing with the people who try to one up you.

I didn't want to make an entire topic, but I do wonder at what point is it appropriate to tell someone you have a debilitating mental illness(or a few)?
I've considered putting it into my profile just to cut out the ones who can't handle such things, but I also don't want to attract the narcissists I did before. I prefer being upfront but I also don't like the idea of feeling dehumanized because of the illnesses I have.

I'm three years older than you. lol. We're barely middle aged, seeing as old age starts at 60 now. You have any nieces and/or nephews?

I'm 32 so I'm not old but not young. I just look old and sound old. Okay maybe I am old.

Oh, you're probably not very old, but hanging around kiddos makes you feel like it. Especially the snot nosed teenagers. "Whaddaya mean there was no internet when you grew up? Did you go to school with Jesus?" XD

I'm not that... okay maybe I am but still.. and nope. Not any I know about anyway.

Oh yes. All the meltdowns and childhood playground politics. lol. Makes you feel so old doesn't it? You have any kids of your own?

It can be fun. But it's also difficult because of some of the behaviors, especially since I work work ages 3-5
yuuzora @yuuzora
yuuzora @yuuzora
That has to be one of the hardest jobs I could imagine having. I only worked with older kids, the little ones are another thing entirely. No wonder you're tired after a day at work! Is at least fun?

I'm a daycare teacher. So I take care of other people's children for a living.

Oh? I suppose it's a matter of perception. I'm usually too tired to sit and watch stuff, so I rather read, so if I zone out, I can just go back and reread. XD
What are you doing for work these days?
pandasteve @pandasteve
pandasteve @pandasteve
It's pretty good, I just can't read anything because I get off work at 6 pm and by then I'm too tired to do anything besides make/eat dinner and watch stuff.

I'm super far behind on kaiju movies so I haven't seen Pacific Rim or Cloverfield. I just haven't had time with how much work I have. How's your work/life balance?
pandasteve @pandasteve
pandasteve @pandasteve
Yeah I am. One of my favorite movies is Cloverfield

I'm currently in the process of writing my own, so I read just enough to learn by example. So my first chapter isn't very good, layout-wise I am banking on people being interested enough to stick around for the second when I get into it. Are you a fan of kaiju films at all?
pandasteve @pandasteve

Not particularly. I don't have much time to read manga anymore because of my job. Do you?

Favorite non-main... maybe Gramps, if you'd consider him a non-main. I adore the old man who adopts a bunch of kids. <3 Cana is a good one, too. It's honestly a shame she didn't get more attention as her story was pretty compelling. I also find Hiro Mashima quite inspirational. Having no formal training to start with but managed to become successful anyway like Eichiro Oda. Do you have any favorite mangaka?
