There's potentially a difference between not having contempt for an abstract set of people, in general, and whether one would feel differently in an entirely different context, i.e. IRL versus OTI, and a romantic relationship with a specific person versus discussing abstract psychological issues with a set of strangers in a, more or less, clinical setting. For example, I don't hold BPD's in contempt, in general. They have an unhappy psychological condition which I doubt they choose to have because they like it for some perverse reason. Heck, I even met a girl with BPD once and she seemed very nice (not to mention hot, and maybe even, willing :D ) At the same, could I see myself ever knowingly getting in a relationship with one? Not something I think would be good for either one of us. I can see my "contempt" for a specific BPD building as the drama got more and more out of hand.

I think giving little chocolates/candies out is a cute idea.

As for Valentine's Day, although I don't get anything or give anything anymore I do like it. I take it as an excuse to be 'corny' and 'sappy' and somewhat overly sentimental.

A few years ago I would make little gifts or cards to female friends. It lasted a few years but now we have grown apart. Kinda sad but also it's less responsibility. Friendships take work when people are physically apart.

Final Result

Postby NooniLollipop » Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:47 am

Well... the final result of this was good.

A lot of people gave me chocolates and candies, I even received a cute cupcake... :roll: I felt bad for the complicated gifts but happy about the little ones. I was glad that I took so many chocolates with me, I gave one to all the friends I could and to people I barely new and they accepted it happily with big smiles on their faces.

And... :shock:
I did give a chocolate to the guy that I like~! I thought I wouldn't but somehow I manage to do it... I was so nervous that I forgot the details and I wanted to leave as soon as possible just like the time I confessed to him. But it was nicer than I thought, I stopped him and look for his hand and he looked down and gave it to him, I don't remember if I told him happy valentines day or at least "Here!" or if I say anything at all... but he smiled to me and took it and I was about to go but he managed to stop me somehow, I don't know if he used words or if he only put on an expression to indicate me to follow him but I stayed there and followed him to the side of the hall and he took something out of his backpack, a little bag and he gave me something, it was a little cute heart he made himself, smaller than 2cm ~ :shock: ... I was shocked but happy, I put on a big smile and say "Thank you!" with a bit of enthusiasm and I got to see his gentle smile which I love and soon I left.

He did gave that to all his female friends though, but I thought it was sweet for him to consider me a friend as well even though we haven't speak much. Also, he did something different from everyone else, it was a funny looking heart with an odd shape but it was sooooooo cuuuute, I think he is a bit naive, I think it would have been harder for me to do what he did than what I did,... I was really happy, incredibly happy and moved. :D I really admire him because I think he does get nervous at times but that doesn't ever keep him from doing what he wants, he seems to be really confident about himself, I wish I was like that as well. :mrgreen:

I think whether you are a guy or a girl it would always be hard to get with someone, and for everyone it is different.

And to all of you I hope you had a nice Valentine day, or Get-Chocolate-for-free-day, or a normal-day-with a lot of candies-chocolates-roses-restaurants commercials day or a I-thought-it-was-tomorrow day, reap-off day or however it is for you... :shock: Whatever it is I hope you had a nice day on that day, however it was~!

Lol I got an illegal amount of chocolate now... this is not going to make me any good... :shock:

Thanks for Reading!

You were really brave. I never dare to do it.
I agree, both men and women who are introvert or have problems which social relation find hard to stablish romantic relations.
I hope you´ll become his "especial" friend. :D
