I think it's good that you made some people come to solid conclusions regarding their views on the matter, but I'm sure it didn't win you many friends.

Trauma as a problem solving tool... hmm...

Never said it was the best* method lol

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

But you did seem to imply that it was a good method.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I hoped the not winning friends part would have prevented that

[-] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I don't know why the person you're replying to causes me so much revulsion. Probably resonates with some people I'm not in touch. Anyways, live moves on and I decided to block that person.

Life's too short to tolerate asswholes

Yeah tbh I was trying to find the bright side of the story but I don't think it came off that way.

I had a former summer camp kid come up and credit me with having given them their "first existential crisis" (for explaining that when you die, "you just cease") which I am proud of.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Damn dude, why you gotta do 'em like that? Hope someday he finds psychelics or something lol

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

They were actually pretty grateful, feeling it had set them up for a lot of positive realizations down the line. We play D&D now and they're working on their masters, so I guess they weren't too badly scarred...

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

How old were they at the time and how did the subject come up?

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Not very satisfying answers I'm afraid, they were probably 8-10 and I have no idea how we got onto the topic since this was 15+ years ago.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

But why are you proud? Or was that more tongue-in-cheek?

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I get the impression you don't think this was a good thing to have done, hence the interrogation?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't intentionally give a childhood a existential crisis, no, but I'm sure I could inadvertently. Didn't mean it to feel like an interrogation, sorry. Was just curious.
