Things you can't explain to people

[DiegoPalacios]

Another one....for some reason there is not an equivalent of the word "Edgy" in spanish.

Actually i have trouble explaining terms that only exist in other languages to people that don`t speak that language.

@BobbyjoeXforgotensb You're not alone, I can smee´ll the change of the seasons too ^^ I love those days you come out and the scent of the next season is in the air, always makes me happy

@DiegoPalacios Tell me about it. It's a nightmare to describe "Hygge" to non-Danes. It's kinda like cozy, but then not at all. There has literally been written books about the term to properly explain it >.<

That zen feeling of just being in tune with whatever you make, being in "the zone"

[nekhcore]

similar to smell i get certain feelings or vibes that just remind me of a time or season, and it's not something like "oh winter feels tense and summer feels airy" it's just really specific and impossible to convey to another human being

[ButterflyEmpress]

It's pretty silly, but one thing that's impossible for me to explain is when silverware has a spot that my tongue is sensitive to. I'll have to get another fork or spoon or I won't be able to eat properly. I'm not sure if it's the taste or the feeling that sets me off.

[BobbyjoeX]

It gets that mentally taste, it's almost electrifying, right? Like licking a metal. Pencil sharpener

This is totally true. For me it's especially prevalent in winter when your face and nose get all chilly and frozen and your can see you breath. It's not just the snow, but like the air itself that has a scent (if that makes sense? probably not)

[VibrantFox]

it's a bit hard to describe but it's that kind of frosted scent (but it makes sense even if it's a kind of vague concept to describe)

Could never get my mom to understand that I knew when the tube TV's were on. Even if I was in the front lawn.

I have all 3 so I know what it's like X_X not easy stuff to live with.

[BobbyjoeX]

i get by its when the symptoms rear their ugly heads and now its "i dont want to hear excuses why your acting like that"

[Jenny-Toons]

One feeling I can't explain is when I wait up from a very good nap. Like, it feels like my stomach is hurting, but I'm not in pain. And there's a heaviness behind my eyes (like really behind them) that's comforting(?).

But with Tears for Fears, it's an experience.

This song.

When I hear that high pitched echo and then the guitar strumming, my body just relaxes. Like, a chill goes through my body in a good way, and it does this mental shift for me where I'm a kid again during the summer when my grandma was still around. Like, it's just more than nostalgia for me. It's like a spiritual experience.

There's something about it that you just couldn't explain to people.

[ChanYE]

trying to explain to someone who cant even draw a stick figure even if they had a bomb strapped to them how to draw is like trying to teach someone aerodynamics

[Penni]

Mental illness, my love of anime, anything other than heterosexuality, and stuff about pets. I worked at pet store and was a dog groomer for a long time and there are just some things people do no understand about the care of pets.

1: the nostalgic smell that @dawgofdawgness mentioned but different. sometimes there's this really distinct smell that I recognize from a long time ago, but I can never figure out what it's reminding me of. I also like the type of smell that's the same as what dawg was talking about, such as the smell of burnt hair and wetness when it's about to rain after a long time.
2: people never understand why I act so differently from "normal" people when I have autism anxiety and depression and it's just really awful.
3: why I'm so insecure. I don't mean to sound bitchy, but I really don't think I'm attractive at all without makeup, and of course that's normal for teenage girls. but a lot of adults (not pedophliles, friends of parents or family) always say how pretty I am but I don't see it at all, and I can't seem to convince others why I think otherwise, which I think are valid points but whatever
4: things that really bother me. when a noise repeats several times for a long time period, if I smell ketchup or see a sauce/unidentifiable booger looking thing or if a certain person always makes a certain noise, I get super irritated and people don't seem to understand
5: I can't stand being anywhere near ketchup or I start to feel nauseous
6: songs from 2015 that remind me of minecraft pocket edition. whenever I hear these certain songs that've been playing on the radio back when I was in 5th grade playing minecraft PE in my room I instantly associate a specific song with a very specific moment of that time, and the world I was playing in

A lot of things... which is why I try and write about them in my comics. Usually social issues, though they aren't usually related to the plot. I try to be somewhat subtle.

I think I have some trouble fully conveying emotions in general. Like when I was very happy someone told me I didn't look happy. When I was incredibly sad and needed people to be there for me, they weren't there.

[awesomefeelsman]

Feeling what other people feel. Or feeling something off and knowing what it is.

I don't know if it's a weakness being emotionally sensitive. I've grown a thick skin overtime but when it comes to understanding people, I can feel their emotions as if they were my own.

My friends say I'm just too sensitive, but I feel like it's something I'm capable of doing, but I can't control it.

[VibrantFox]

I think I understand. Maybe it means you're empathetic? Usually it's something I'm only able to feel with those I'm close to or familiar with but only rarely with strangers.

[awesomefeelsman]

Yup, that's it, usually it also takes me time to get to know people. One meeting isn't enough. That's why making friends for me needs more time.

I think everyone is capable of being an empath. It's like a skill, but maybe we're one of those who are born to feel.

The hard part is when you've absorbed too much noise that you develop so much anxiety. Negative feelings lead to negative thoughts. That's the bad part... it sucks :T

I'm suicidal.

It's a bit complicated. My life is headed downhill before it even begins. I'm trying to find a way up and for a moment i found one, but it's really narrow pass.

You ever have those dreams you want to pursue? Then you realize you gotta pay bills so you go for "plan B" and get a job? Well i got a couple jobs and both ended with mental breakdowns. I won't get into it.

The point is, my dream is now my only option. My new plan B.

This is sort of my dream: My dream is to turn The Rainy Days into an animated web series. Of course it doesn't come cheap and i'm in poverty. I'm working around my obstacle by making it into a comic that could hopefully get funded and bring my dream into a reality. A little while ago i noticed the only program i can use for decent art is going through a cash grab mode and refusing to let me save my work for free. Now the suicidal thoughts are waiting for me to open the door.

If anyone has any decent programs that can run on a Chromebook laptop, let me know.

Lord knows i don't want to go through plan C.

EDIT: Alright false alarm on the sumopaint thing. It seems to be working as usual. This ain't a cry for help. It's more like a, "hey i got herpes. hows your day?" type deal. You shouldn't worry if you actually care, but thanks for reading. Good luck to anyone who's experience the tougher sides.
