Don't feel dumb at all; these guys are harder all around than most people realize. ( to guess - and to write.  But it's a challenge that I truly enjoy)
Thanks for reading, and for commenting and faving too. !! !

Weird, why?  Nothing weird (or unmanly) about feelings. (especially your own).  Communication - is the key to happiness!

Idk, I just feel weird, like what I am writing is just bullshit and not good or something Oh I know. I have low self esteem but I like to think I am pretty good, especially for a guy, with dealing with my emotions and recognizing them.
It is the key to happiness! But I am not the best with communication some times lol.

And writing. Is what makes us good with communicating.  You can look at what you wrote a million times, going back to edit things, etc - all the while - LEARNING things about your self (when reading it back) while learning to be a better communicator.  Be completely truthful in what you write though in order for it to work.
I began writing at the age of 12 - out of sheer frustration, i.e. I had moved away from my friends who I adored, didn't care for the new ones much, and that kind of thing.
I didn't hit me until years later, going through my book (I kept them in a notebook), just how much I'd grown - and learned - and taught my self. About feelings, control, all sorts of things.
You can even use psychology on yourself through your writing of fiction.  Write things how you would like for them to be. And like the old saying goes "anything repeated enough times (and read back) can become believeable" - it's the living truth.  You can help yourself out of your low self esteem.
Nobody says you have to post the stuff online, that is all your choice (although it would be nice); but no pressure at all there; just an exercise for your SELF, for your own pleasure and release of emotions.  It also helped me become more comfortable in my own company and less dependent on others.  I found I truly liked myself. ENJOYED being with my self.  Today?  "Be true to thine self" is the rule I live by. ^^

This is true Maybe writing would help with my poor people skills. I am truthful in what I write I think but after writing something in an elaborate fashion, I feel like its fake or something.
Aww, glad that pain turned into art though
Idk about writing fiction, I aint a good writer in that sense lol.
Oh trust me I know, any art has to be done your YOU.
True, I hate depending on people. I feel I should put that into my photography but maybe poetry will help I will have to think about it but I know I am more of a visual artist

Your writing skill shows in this comment

Well as I said, you don't have to post none of it, it's all for your own reasons.  But I get it if you're more visual, then find realease that way.  Also, just socializing online is enough to help make you a better communicator; you will find that those lessons amazingly spilling over into your real life too.  It forces you to care enough, for one thing, to make an effort to chat with others, then to carry that conversation; (it's actually harder to do online because we can't enjoy the silence of company, or use body language to get our thoughts across online) ; it helps make you a better writer too in that you really have to think before you hit reply because if it's not said clearly enough it's so easy to be misinterpreted (that goes double for punctuation! LOL
Example:   A woman without her man is nothing.    2)  A woman.  Without her; man is nothing.    You see?

Aww !!  See now, you giggle, but that is THEE best compliment I've ever gotten! I really mean that.    It took quite a bit in my life for me to grow to where I am today; a lot thrown at me putting me completely out of my comfort zone (I used to be a PAINFULLY shy person at one time....and let me tell you, some of the trials and tribulations! LOL  I know I'd never have broke that shyness any other way though, it was really very debilitating - I couldn't even ask a stranger what time it was that's how bad.  But what was put upon me was completely not within my choice or control...
I'm grateful today. - I'd never want to go through any of it again - but it changed me completely forever. - into just the person I've always wanted to be. And who I always knew was inside me.  Now I think when I look back, how silly I was to hold back on my personality or to worry what people thought.  There will always be people who don't like us or whom we don't get along with for whatever the reasons.  Better to be disliked for who we are than liked for being someone we are not. ^^
  But man, am I glad I can barely remember that girl today! LOL )

That is a good point. I some times write my thoughts down in text files on my computers to try and make sense of them all so I don't forget them and can actually learn from them.
But yeah, whatever comes more naturally
True, thats how I got to where I am today, dA and World of Warcraft interaction
Lol, definately! I have almost started arguments and stuff by not proofreading comments and stuff and later I realize I sounded like an asshole cuz it aint come across right lol.

Really?
Lol, wow you really came a long way I used to be that bad too, have gotten better but have not had that renaissance yet.
This is definitely true
Lol that is always good

OMG I am hung over

Just out of curiousity,  how long does it take to come up with one of these?  (I'm not a poet, so sometimes the whole concept goes right over my head!)

LindArtz In reply to Mom-EsPeace [2015-08-16 22:26:23 +0000 UTC]

This one came to me immediately - but that is RARE!  Usually these take longer (for me anyway) than writing a full length poem.   Under usual circumstances, one of these (a good one) can take a half hour or more...some I have pondered a few days - knowing something better was brewing.
It really depends on how 'impressive' you want to be, and of course, how inspired.

A poem I can write in minutes, or think for hours. Later in life I'd write, put it aside for a few days or so and go back to it.

You've never written a poem?  You should give it a shot, you would be good! I just know you would!  At least try one of these six word stories. Read the link attached to the story for rules. (they are simple)

Mom-EsPeace In reply to LindArtz [2015-08-16 22:49:01 +0000 UTC]

Nah, I'm not one for symbolism. Even in my manips there are only rarely hidden meanings. If there's a dog in the corner of the room it's not meant to symbolize the economic burden of the third world on the capitalistic greed of the major world powers....it's just because I wanted a dog in the corner.

I don't get poetry for that very reason. If I want to tell you I think you're a sh*t because you broke my heart I can't do it in flowery, mystical words like you and TL. Usually I'll just end up saying I think you're a sh*t because you broke my heart!

LOL  Well they don't come more blunt that me, Mummy!   But I still like to get into the cerebral aspects of writing; and that's what poetry and short stories are about. You are very cerebral!    I bet you'd be fantastic at writing short stories - or chapters even!  I'd PAY to read them!
