舌の上の君 was my last book. I went into it not knowing much, simply picking it based on the recommendation of a peer and しおん's wonderful cover art. In the end, I came out enjoying it a lot. It uses cannibalism as its main theme, a subject which I haven't read or seen in much media. 地球少女アルジュナ touches something on the subject of the relationship people have with what they eat, so I used it as a point of reference while reading for how I wanted to digest the book. Right now, I think it's my favorite thing I've read, but then, I haven't read much.
I'll try to finish キノの旅's first volume this week. It adopts a very simple and easy to understand style of writing, which has made for a nice break from being shelled with rare food and ingredients vocab.

What level of Japanese reading would you place yourself at?
That book sounds interesting but probably way above my reading skills

>Crazy that haters refuse to recognize it's obvious brilliance!

Can anybody give a PDF file of this book.

Untranslated version? I do wonder how much of the criticism in this thread is merely as a result of a poor translation or not…

I already conceded and am going to move back in with them even though I'll be alone. It's unfortunate, and my relationship with my partner is unlikely to last, but I won't be any good to her or anyone else dead.

I would post more but I think it's prohibited to dump art here for no reason. Glad you like it, anyway. If you want to see more, I'm on Twitter as @wanderersn3xus, and on Tumblr as @alver0sa

It's not prohibited to dump art here "for no reason", but if you want to start a thread exclusively dedicated to art, feel free to make one on >>>/o/

I feel like it may do well on the creepycute board, but I'm unsure about the rules there pertaining to posting your own work. I don't want to get banned for shameless self-advertising or anything like that, lol.

Surely you're not here to be told the obvious, but genuinely: go into this with an open mind. None of us here know your family or your relationship with them, and I won't assume it's good just because they've offered to support you for now - God knows I've known people with a shitty family life that still feeds them and puts a roof over their heads - but it never hurts to try it. If you can have a talk with them, or try to involve them in your long-term treatment and coping with your disorders, you might get a little time to stabilise your life.

Try and get your meds as soon as you can, and determine what's most pressing to work on: your unstable lifestyle, your abusive relationship issues, or those dependency issues. I'd hope more schizophrenics will post soon, as again, I can only really relate to your dependency problems, and mental disorders more generally. But if you ever need to reach out in a low-risk way, this board is a good place to do it sometimes. Just be careful with what personal accounts you advertise on any imageboard.

I personally wouldn't worry about getting b& for posting original content with your posts, >>>/cc/ included. You can always try to summon Sei and see what they think.

>>7559
There's no rule against posting your own content. I suggested >>>/o/ because that's where "art" generally goes (even the creepy or "unnerving" pictures), but feel free to use >>>/cc/ instead if you think it's more fitting. Both boards deserve more love and activity.

Also, sorry if I didn't comment anything in particular regarding your situation, but I agree with the other anons, and I don't have much to contribute myself, sadly. I sincerely hope things get better for you soon.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but the name is right here in the very image you posted. I searched it up and found a wayback machine capture of the forum where it was originally posted, but the download URL linked there is dead. It was created by a user called "P. Yoshi."

I'm seriously confused right now. I'm sure I uploaded a bunch of the banners displayed on that video, which were submitted somewhen back in… 2014? Maybe 2015. And although I wasn't here until 2011, I'm /fairly/ sure we didn't have oekaki until a few years later?
If this video is not real, congratulations you just gaslighted me.

ok bd

Sadly none of my parents really care much for anime, except for maybe my mum since she watched lupin the third when she was younger.
My sister was really into shoujo yaoi animes though like Free! around the period it came out, and my cousin supposedly knows Japanese, though there's yet to be anyone else in the family to confirm this lol

Post granddaughter

Most of my family are pretty ok with my interests, though no one else in the family is much of a nerd save my cousins in Canada. I did however wrangle my sister into being a weeb. She’s watched seven deadly sins, Jojo, sailor moon, she’s got a small figure collection like I have and her room is way more organised with merch then mine is lmao.

I tell my dad the most abt my nerd shit though, divorced family so whenever I was in his car on my way to his id tell him about what new thing I like and what he’s spending his paycheck on for the next month. He listens and sometimes bursts out laughing at the absurdity but in a way that appreciates the mad shit he’s hearing. Heard him say ‘The Japanese are mad, aren’t they? I love it’
Pub nights with my dad are always fun because of that

Cute, how is she now.

I've read quite a lot of bores so yours can't be drudging as I'm interested in what you have to say and also because if I might have it. I have the "symptoms" to a T and don't think anything's necessarily wrong with me for having them but am still amicable towards the act of befriending and used to be a talkative person who cracked jokes (not that I was sunshine), though looking back at when I was homeschooled I would've been comfortable not saying anything to anyone and that I didn't want to be lonely hence why I forced myself to talk but that could just be me ignoring my gut to stop seeking others' approval. A lot of my morality may just come off as having it as well, and I don't know what came first and if it came subconsciously. I deduced I could be a sperg, negative schizo, depressed, a mere moody sycophant, etc. so I'd like to hear how you feel. The company I keep could've also made me one manually so maybe I was nurtured into it and therefore not really have it, or I surrounded myself with such people in the first place because our frequencies blended better. I'm playing up the disorder like it's supposed to fit into this box and personality that normal people who don't understand view it as which is obnoxious and insufferable but for the sake of covering all angles and its guidelines I muse. I know this post is garbage because I've recently been mindfucked. I want to know for myself if I have it because I am only a human and therefore can be quantified and understood better, not because I want a label.

"schizoid personality disorder" doesn't cause anything, it is a description of symptoms. Compared to real disorders, having the symptom itself is the disorder regardless of underlying causes.

>It's demonstrably made my life harder in the past to the point I can't in good conscience call it a bogus diagnosis
This is entirely wrong and the main reason why I don't like "schizoid personality disorder". It has not made your life harder. What has made your life harder was your inability to connect with people, your fear of intimacy, and your destructive personality. You do not have schizoid personality disorder any more than stacy has whoreish slut disorder. If there is a biological difference in people with spd, then there is a biological difference in everybody with a unique personality.

I'm curious what you were going to say about nature v. nurture so I could have a focused base to my experiences and thoughts on the logic and nature of it. If it's something that can develop from circumstance can it also regress with time and effort, how much of it converges with the post-war isolation and mental sickness of our age, it only has a low diagnosis rate because few people care to get it confirmed by psychologists and are unbothered by it so how many "schizoids" exist, it's oddly widespread for a mental disorder or much of humanity simply has become more jaded and withdrawn. None of the symptoms stuck out to me as illogical to get induced to or something that can't be inherited nor comes off as anything more than a state of mind.

When I read about it for the first time it seemed like a maladaptive introverted personality that underwent childhood transgression/trauma, similar to how the earlier post asked how this is considered a disorder. So I wonder what the logic and feelings were when you just felt like not socializing anymore and getting depressed, and what the reply to that post said about similarities in it despite different upbringings and experiences. And if I do have it and relate to what you went through it'd explain things I didn't even realize about my behavior and choices towards socializing. Excuse me if my two previous posts were rushed and ingenuine, and put you off from carrying the conversation, I'm really trying and I am interested. I also got diagnosed with ADHD and OCD as a child if that helps.

Also to expound, I believe personality disorders can be caused by abnormal wiring in the brain and that you could be born with it but it will manifest later in life, like how some schizos only begin to develop symptoms in the 20s and 30s despite having a normal upbringing.

7546 isn't me either.

To sum up why I feel this specific set of personality traits was from nature rather from nurture in my case:
First, I'm an extremely close match to the ones described in the DSM and ICD, with no factors missing or mismatching in those two. It just seems a lot more likely to me that such a close fit would happen if the cause were physical rather than environmental. The idea being that the environment is more variable, malleable and unlikely to give consistent results.

The fact that this well-delineated grouping of 'symptoms' reoccurs enough for it to become a diagnosis is a strong indication to me that it's something physical. I have some background in biology, and when studying genetic disorders this kind of pattern shows over and over: some single translation protein gets fucked up somewhere, the signal it was supposed to send is lost and it all cascades through the signaling pathway to produce an array of seemingly unrelated symptoms that nonetheless have a single discrete (or close to it) physical cause. My thinking is that it just happens that in this case the symptoms all happen inside the brain and are a little fuzzier and more well-hidden than something like, say, epilepsy.

Second, I was an extremely normal boy in a normal upbringing before the (rather pronounced) onset of it around age 11-13. I had no trauma, I had nothing bad happen to me, no accidents, nothing. It just happened by itself with no apparent prompting. It has also not once wavered and my preferences haven't given any sign of shifting in the near 20 years since.


Again, this is just my perspective and I have no hard evidence. I'm also not denying that in other people's cases the environment may have a greater impact: human beings aren't isolated systems, and it's not predictable how some trauma or how you were raised will interact with a developing physical brain chemistry disorder: things are rarely as clear cut as my case apparently is when it comes to mental development and issues.
Even if I'm right and it is actually a physical 'disorder' in the way I'm thinking, I have to imagine it would also fully possible to arrive at the same or very similar 'symptoms' through a separate path even if you don't have it.

Caveman2Cosmos, again, as it's a game that takes a long time to finish. So far, I've been playing as the Germans (modified to be my own speshul snowflaek faction). I'd been struggling with getting mounted units, although that's been rectified with elephants and llamas, so now I've got myself an army of llama riders and elephant mahouts.
Jagged Alliance 2. I like it so far, although I'm not a big fan of how sluggish the combat feels. It's probably intentional, but compared to similar games like Fallout and Arcanum, it's a lot slower.
