Oh, wirklich?
Kannst du Deutsch sprechen, oder?

This was a good plan, this group chat. Already learning more about people.

[peripheries]

Ja, kann Deutsch sprechen. Japanisch und Englisch auch.

[hauntedsavior]

Sehr gut, sehr toll.
Glad there's a place for us to just kind of hang out online now.
I was this close to orchestrating another breakdown just to get some of these people's attention again.

That's a joke.

[peripheries]

...It is a good way to get attention, isn't it?

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, but I don't do it for attention.
I do it 'cause my brain can't stop thinking of bad shit.
And then I end up meeting some pretty good people out of it, and those pretty good people help keep me from getting that low again.

[peripheries]

But it’s nice to have attention. Then you’re not alone with your thoughts. People are drawn to emotions and… sometimes even those in need.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, like... it works.
All you gotta do is start talking about it and someone will probably listen.
We're social creatures, humans. We like sharing stories. Good or bad, happy or sad.
But, like, there's 20 of us in here or whatever all messing around and having fun together so I think you probably knew that one already.
Just don't usually like thinking of it like that because it's a real easy way to sound like I'm trying to manipulate people.

[peripheries]

Is it wrong to want attention? Isn't talking here a certain way to ask for attention? Posting something and hoping it will be replied to even if you don't ask for it out right.

[hauntedsavior]

I mean, you're right.
Just never really hit me right to be the kind of person who outright begs for it.
But I guess everything any of us says or does is a desperate plea for some kind of attention.

[peripheries]

Well, humans aren't meant to be alone. It's only natural that most actions they take are for the purpose of being noticed by others. It's probably something deep inside their very souls.

[hauntedsavior]

Maybe so. Never thought of it as much of a soul-deep thing, but it makes sense.
We're social creatures.
I think you are, too. Or you're doing a damn good job learning how to be that way.

[peripheries]

I think any creature that can feel loneliness must be social in some way. It's the reason we feel it and the way to starve it off.
