What would you do in this situation...

[Soul_Angel]

Here's another game for all of you. Think of a bad situation and then someone gives advice on how to solve it. Not much to it. It doesn't have to be something from your own life, you can be curious and find out an answer.

What would you do if you had a girlfriend/boyfriend that lived far away in a different state and you told her/him that you'd see her/him right away when you had a chance and you wouldn't have enough money?

I've always wondered what to do in that kind of situation.

Depending on how long the visit will be, sell some stuff or just keep working until you get enough money. Long distance relationships rarely ever work out :D

[Soul_Angel]

Hmm, that's a pretty good answer. Anyone else want to post a question?

[Toma-kun]

Hmm, I'll give it a shot. Here's a situation from one of my archetypes.

You have a friend who's always cheery, loves to smile, and has no problems making friends. You never noticed it before, but you get this feeling that they're hiding something behind those smiles; something painful. You ask them if something is wrong, yet they never mention it; not even a hint of it. You thought you knew this person your whole life, but now you find that they don't trust you enough to let you help them. You fear that this problem might be severely affecting their decisions. What do you do?

Stop reading too much into things, for one. Secondly, it's really none of my business.

[Soul_Angel]

That's really wierd. That sort of describes me in a way. Just tell them that they can trust you and that you'll try to help them in any way you can. Also if this person has an embarrassing problem just tell them that you'll keep it to yourself.

[Toma-kun]

It's an unusual situation; one part of me would tell me to leave this person alone, because these kinds of problems can only be solved from within; while another part tells me that if a person is suffering inside, it's difficult for them to comfort and help themselves and regardless of what they say, they long for the compassion of another human being.

[Soul_Angel]

Some things like this can be very difficult to understand. I'd just tell this person to not do anything that he'd/she'd regret. They probably wouldn't do it if you told them not to.

[Soul_Angel]

Ok, so here's another one. What would you do if you had parents that treated you horribly and you weren't able to leave, because you aren't 18? You feel like running away to a far away place where you would completely lose contact with them. That really is actually happening to me right now.

[Crave]

Do the best I could to wait it out.

[Soul_Angel]

Well at least it's an answer, but seriously, that doesn't help me...I think my parents actually do hate me, I feel unsafe.

[Toma-kun]

I think it's impossible for parents to really hate their children unless they're utter devils themselves, but I suppose all you can really do is pray for the best. They're still providing a roof over your head right? One day you are going to leave them and hopefully you come out of it a better person.

If you really feel like leaving, then consider the effects. Is living out on your own without higher education or a decent paying job really that much better than sharing a house with terrible parents?

[Soul_Angel]

Even though my parents are devils, you're absolutely right, living on my own would probably be a little stupid, I wouldn't be able to get a higher education (if I even try for one).

[Silver]

Tough situation. I'd like to leave, mostly because my parents piss me off, though while I am old enough, I lack fundage.

[Soul_Angel]

Yeah, money's a big problem in any situation. There's always not enough. I want to go on vacation by myself to a place far away to prove to my parents that I can handle myself and I'll end up buying the plane ticket and hiding it then tell them about the vacation the day before I leave. They're going to really hate me.

[Soul_Angel]

This would be a funny situation to you, but it was scary to me. What would you do if you were sitting on your computer and then all of a sudden your mom came in and started screaming at you just to tell you to vaccum the carpet? That day really sucked for me.

[ViralArtist]

Um,.. I would be like..

"Looky!! I pwned this guy on the forums!!" and then I would get in trouble :(
