hello all,
in what way do you need others?
i ask this way 'cuz i am of the opinion that You DO need people—that everyone does. but many don't agree, in theory and practice. err, "need"—to live your best life, i think.
do you prefer being around people? thinking of others? how do you view others, in relation to yourself; can you understand them, as a familiar? or. maybe you'd prefer not to think about them at all? some people have better things to worry about, i suppose.
i feel like my answer would normally be be around a handful of people but in reality... i can only handle isolated face-to-face conversations most of the time. i feel like i'm airheaded and the most i think about others are when their name or interests are mentioned, otherwise i'll pretty much exist in a corner. — or that's what i'd like to say but... thinking about it a bit more i do think about people a lot, but... "my" (patron librarians) people.
i think about what times people front, what they like and dislike and what they'd like to do while they're here, and maybe that's kinda why i'm so airheaded to "outsiders". my brain is just overwhelmed having to manage an entire apartment complex that's basically only visible to me. which... is a bit wild to think about in retrospection.
i just noticed for me my CDD makes me play lobotomy corporation IRL on a larger scale... that's not a fun thing normally but honestly really funny when worded like that. first time i realized such a major thing about myself while responding to a QOTD lol

how important is your language to you? not just, but your vocabulary? do you feel like you use your language well (not in some sense of honouring it, per se, but to express yourself)?
i meow to my friends and family and they understand what i mean, so i don't really think it's too important for me, though i do like to learn new things and languages, i'm ultimately going to mimic the speech style of the nearest person so, nothing i can really do in that department.
japanese though, when i started learning it i only knew about textbook phrases and whatnot, but then i started diving deeper and started noticing how anime characters aren't really speaking a whole different beast from textbook formality, so i saw myself learning the quirks unconsciously, and it's kinda annoying how fun it is to see different dialects or more-than-formal japanese be used, i'm not at all fluent but i think JP is one of the most expressive languages i know (even though you obviously don't get to use much of those styles when actually learning the language.)

hello all,
do you like communicating? like, for real though. like, if someone could instantly understand you, and vice versa—inside and out, no more arguments, and you're still just you know...regular people. friends, lovers, whatever. would you take that? over the work it'll take to get even MINUTELY close to that ideal?
additionally: how much do you value play? play as in, you know, umm...like, being able to tease your friends forever. always bickering. would you maybe prefer...silence?
only if it's a single person, and even that i might not take... i feel like that'd take all the creativity from coming up with ways to communicate the things i want, and i wouldn't have those long rambles about "why i would use a poem that has nothing to do with it to get you to stop your brain from being a bitch and decipher what the hell i just said". and... as much as neurotypical people tend to raise an eyebrow and ask what i meant or give up halfway through, i value the people that do understand me and my weird communication quirks... for me this thing that almost everyone can do without batting an eye (communication) ends up being a fun challenge for me and maybe i'm just a bit weird about it.
as for play, i value it a lot. i hold the people i can freely tease and bicker with close to heart because that's just how i am inside, always bickering with myself to fix my mistakes. it's like play fighting, but with words and i love every second of it. maybe because i am a chatterbox!

hello all,
who Aren't you? what have you gotten better at, lately? (or...over a long span of time. sometimes you need it, you know...) do you spend a lot of time reflecting?
i know some people may feel like their behaviour isn't them, per se, but i think the ability to improve does hold a lot of weight over who you are. who you are, to me, is who you aren't—who you can't be, who you've stopped being, who you make sure you'll never be. and—maybe you've improved other things. not your behaviour, but your mental. your thought processes, your inner voice...
so, who can't you be? who will you never be? how's that going along—or do you maybe not put a lot of thought into this sort of stuff at all...?
this is a fairly abstract question. typically i'd try not to talk too much on these, but i figured maybe some suggestions could help.
i can't be the person that'd leave my friends at their lowest again. my younger self didn't know love but i know now, so i want that to always be present. i cannot afford to be that person again, and i won't...
i'm gonna admit i never really thought about it this way, in my head i was just shifting priorities, still seeing myself on a pedestal, but then i realized i can't be that bad of a person if i still have space in my life for the people i care for, so i think i'm improving, growing maybe. wish i still had someone from back then to truly tell me if i changed, but i guess the mirror will have to do.
