I ate too much sugar and now my teeth hurt.

open your mouth wide for me real quick, OP.

>>83008166
Ewwwwww no I will not.

>>83008188
i just want to see a little tongue. for just one second.

>>83008191
No! I'm not doing that. Only my (future) girlfriend gets to see my tongue. And maybe the dentist.

>>83008314
>(future) girlfriend
hah.
>and maybe the dentist.
i'm a dentist. just open wide and see if you can let out a little burp for me.

>>83008132 (OP)
You should have had a healthy keto snack instead like cheese. Cheese is good for your teeth even.

>>83008323
>burp
N-no way... how embarrassing.
There's no way you're a dentist anon... I don't see your certificate anywhere...
>>83008536
I might consider filling my pantry with healthy snacks and throwing away the bad ones... well, Halloween was a few days ago so that's why I ate so many sweets. But yeah, room for improvement. Are you on a keto diet or something?
>Cheese is good for your teeth
Ehh?? I find that hard to believe...

I feel like things were a lot more fun when I'd meet someone cool from this board and then talk to them over and over again and ask for their contact and get to know them better. Haven't been doing that at all recently...

damn you were really doing that? i love talking to people but wouldn't dare try initiating a friendship of sorts. i feel pressured to constantly talk to them. i remember befriending someone here on discord and they removed me cause i was offline for a day.

>>83008923
Yeah! I think I had a bit of a friend collector phase, honestly, but in general I actually really like making friends with people when my social anxiety isn't fucking with me. Even in real life I try and befriend people if I'm not feeling mentally ill.
I've gotten ghosted so often that I don't really care anymore. Plus, I'm not that clingy anymore (been working on my anxiety) so I don't mind it if somebody responds to me after a few months. I justify it by doing the same thing to other people, lol.
If someone removes you after you didn't respond to you for a day, that's not really your fault, anon. I would just let it go. On to the next potential friend!
I think I made quite a few friends back in the earlier days when I first started on this board but I don't talk to most of them anymore. But the friends that stuck around, I really appreciate! One friend texted me recently, she's really cool and I admire her a lot.
I wonder what it was like in the really old days. I keep hearing crazy stories about egirls and Skype groups... that sounds like it would've been fun but also really scary. Well, to be honest, I don't think I'd do well in an environment like that. Egirls kind of scare me.

keep an eye on how much suger you eat
sugar is like a drug after all

>be me
>in a discord server
>within one week 10 new people join the server
>within a few more weeks they all become best friends with each other, matching profile pictures and making in-jokes and posting funny moments in their dms
>manage to become friends with a few of them but never really get close to them or dm them
>start getting closer with a few people in that big friend group
>the few people i started getting closer with start matching pfps too
>they mention being in a secret group chat where they have lots of fun doing silly things
>feel sad, but smile through the pain

This has happened to me at least three times. Ugh. I'm sure it'll happen again. I feel like these Discord interactions reflect on how well I make friends in real life, which is not at all. It's not their fault but I hate having these close friendships being flaunted right in front of my face. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Well, I mean besides the fact that I don't usually fit in with their brand of humor anyway.
>wait a second
>thinks about all the friends i havent texted in weeks
>ohshit.png
>think about how i need to schedule hangouts with all of them
>start getting anxious about asking everyones schedules and trying to commit to specific times to hang out
>give up and just continue ignoring people and playing video games and going on 4chan
...yeah, the flip side of that is that I'd have to actually put effort into nurturing relationships with people. While that comes naturally to others, for me it feels like pulling teeth. What a contradictory set of feelings, huh?
I still feel sad that I can't "get along" with the in-group like everyone else does, but oftentimes I find myself wondering, do I even want to?

>>83009316
Been trying to reduce it but failing. Ugh...
