I know this sub is probably pretty dead, but I need help.

I'm attracted to pony NSFW and I hate myself for it.

I started watching it sometime this summer, until I told to myself, that I don't want to be like this, so I started to heavily restrict it until 2 weeks ago when I finally completely stopped. I'm able to live without it, I'm definitely not addicted, but I can't get it out off my head and I always have the tendency to watch it.

I don't want to be like this. I don't want to belong to the "that" side of the fandom, but I have need to watch it, and I can't find any substitude for it. Why am I like this? What's wrong with me?

I can't express my feelings unconsciously I say everything that goes through my head but no matter how much I talk I can't express what I feel, my feelings are short but very intense and otherwise I just stick to logical thinking, I face with depression and anxiety due to trauma and I need advice , i had a hood like childhood but i had overcomed all of that , i jut got sa empty , im 19 i live in romania and i hope u have some advice

I'm not great at venting, and I can't bring myself to get into the nitty gritty about what's bothering me, it's a lot of not fun business. Needless to say it's something that I don't think has any good solutions, so, yeah.

So instead how are you? Person who's still browsing MLSG? Are you doing alright? Things treating you okay? I think it's pretty cool of you to still be keeping a vigil here! I hope you're doing okay!

Have a few choice cute pony pictures: 1 2 3 4 5

Oh, and also a qt lil video

I've been dealing with depression for over 10 years. Going through a lot of things that no one really understands. I finally found someone that has gone through and still is going through a very similar situation. She is amazing. We text back and forth all the time, we play games online together, etc. It's just really nice talking to someone who understands. Unfortunately, she's married. She is having problems in her marriage. I guess she feels like his roommate and cleaning lady and not a wife. I really like talking to her so I don't want it to end. The problem I'm having is everytime we talk I want to tell her how I feel. I'm just afraid it will end the relationship we do have. It's been driving me crazy. Especially since we share everything with one another. This entire situation has me down in the dumps. I find this amazing woman and she's just out of reach. Should I tell her or keep my feeling to myself?

I can't keep inside of me any longer it's just that I feel like such an awful person I just lost one of my closest friends due to me hurting them and where I tried my best to change to redeem myself but I can't from what they've told me. So they ended our friendship because of me being an absolute horrible person which was the straw that broke the camels back for me. That friend was my only and closest friend which without them I probably still wouldn't be here back in April of this year. So without them I've been having thoughts of suicide because what's the point of staying alive if you have no one that loves you.

Being back in school is great and all, but if there's one thing about being back to school I despise (besides homework), it's those annoying people that, put in the words of Harbinger Signora "follow me around like a dark shadow," say things that trigger me and I can't get them to stop. I know it's wrong to hate, but I GENUINELY HATE THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE. I feel that even if I say that what they're doing is wrong and that they should stop, they will not stop and it'll inevitably end in a fist fight that could end up sending me in a direction I don't want to go. I gotta find some way to end this, without resorting to... you get the idea. What must I do?

I think I lost access to it a while ago for some reason and I am having trouble finding an invite link to get back in. I remember it being pretty active the last time I was in there.

My parents took everything away from me im grounded till my seinr year i got my car my license my bed my animals and all school dances taken

so... i guess this question has been asked millions times before me but, before all of you, i was literally "mane six" alone....

is this the right place to talk about... ahm... feelings? u know, feelings as in "omg i am so in love with [insert pony]" ?

and no, i am not talking about nsfw stuff.

if not... wheres the MLP feelings support sub? must be one around....

ps: sorry for my weird english.

I'm litterierly in tears right now, I still can't process that we'll never get anything gen 4 related content ever again and it's heart breaking to think about this is reality. FiM means so much too me and I feel like without it, well... who am I? I don't know if I'll still be alive after I finish the series since it feels like apart of me is gone and it use to bring me so much joy to me but now only sadness and grief. I'm also worried this is unhealthy that my realtionship.

I feel like it is

I know this might seem silly but or a bit conserning but I'm thinking about killing myself after I finish My Little Pony. The show means so much to me and heck if it wasn't for this series I would've never found out I was trans. MLP is what keeps me going in life and without it well what's the point of living?

Heya, I shared this topic a while back ago and got
some really interesting feedback, That I should be
happy for other peoples achievements and that I
should focus on myself; that my world ends with
me so my goals should be the only ones that should
matter to me. ╹‿╹)

But.

My blood still runs cold in the wake of the
accomplishments of others, I feel crushed
both mentally and emotionally when I come
across someone who's done so much. Whether
it's romanticly, Artistically, creatively,
and/or financially. it causes me to retreat
within myself and stop moving forward, Which
for lack of a better word just sucks!

It sucks feeling like your a mouse among men,
Your just the mud on another person's boot or
a ghost in the world of the living...

Like you're not enough.

Like nothing will ever be enough to compare.

|
-And that's the crux, Dood, "Compare" I can't
help but to in possible one of the most
unhealthy ways possible.

It's not that I see this as a competition,
Heck if I did I'd be a little better off.
No, I think of it as:

"Wow, they're doing this AND that, they put
a lot of work to get there, what are you doing,
are you even trying?"

Completely discounting every single thing
I've done up to this point because-

"That's nothing compared to what this guy is doing, What you made an animation?
so did they, and do you see the praise and validation they're getting? Do you
really think you can have that?"

A Cyclone of negativity and a maelstrom of
malice toward peeps I don't even know, Envy
that's in no way constructive only Self-destructive, Dood.

All be it I have gotten better at bringing
myself out from it by muting what got me,
both figuratively and literally.

(My block list is ever-expanding =‿=)

Recentering myself by not focusing on
anything in particular and doodling on
impulse and for myself rather than
other's validation.

Though if I know one thing about me,
it's that I'm not strong enough for that to last forever.
I would very much appreciate your guys thoughts on this
and for the select few that understand where I'm coming from-

How do you doods deal with Envy?

Tl;DR
Please read, Dood, It's juicy I promise. T‿T)

I believe this title describes it best. I recently came home from a vacation in Portugal. While being there, I saw this really cute girl staying in the same hotel as me. She def gave me some eyes so I could tell she was interested. Being the procastinater I am, I eventully approached her the night before we were checking out. We talked for a couple hours and I felt a more attracted to her every second. She evetually tells me her age, which suprised me, as it was considerably younger than expected. Because of this, I decided not to ask for her number or social media. Im sitting here questioning if I did the right thing, even though I probably did. But the thing is, she is the only thing I can think about at the moment, which demotivates me to do anything. I feel like this bugs me WAY more than it should, it’s like a punch in the stomach.

I know it sounds pretty silly, and many had at least some feelings for someone. Although I am very aware that there is only one solution and I know how to approach it, which is why Im not asking for help. I figured I’d share this with you anyway. Has anyone experienced something like this in particular? Im curious.

By the title you can tell where this is going, I joined this sub a while back when I was at rock bottom and since then my life has taken many ups and downs. Without this sub there I honestly a high chance I wouldn’t be here. Being able to express my issues and having super kind people help with them is just such a nice and kind feeling. I’ve had to delete my past posts so nobody I know sees and worries or anything but every comment I got I will remember. I’m finally starting to feel happy in my life again and to anyone just joining this server I just want to say this is probably what has helped me the most in the past few years so thank you :)

All my friends abandoned me for school or their job, whenever we do talk it's hardly meaningful. It's like they're purposely avoiding me at this point. All I really have left is MLP and Fluttershy. Yes, I'm practically in love with her. It feels so real, y'know? And I'm only 14. Being a brony, I actually have a lot of trouble finding other bronys (whatever the plural is :/) to talk with. I feel like I missed out on so much good in the community, but I also feel hope for us. And on my first point, like I said, they basically NEVER try to talk to me. I mean, for the past few MONTHS I've been getting ghosted by those two. It's hard for me to give up on them, you could say I'm a lot like Rainbow Dash. Loyal. But they didn't return that loyalty. I understand having stuff to do but they aren't even TRYING to set time aside to play video games w/ me.

I’ve been dating a girl for the past 7 almost 8 months and in the midst of dating (March) she had told me that she doesn’t think she could love again. It baffled me because she had never said that before and she seemed so sure of herself. I told her I loved her for the first time on Friday and it was a relief to finally say it. I’ve loved her for quite some time now but I was scared to say it because I was afraid she’d leave. She didn’t take it the wrong way, I had asked her about her feelings toward me and if they’ve progressed (which sounds so silly) and she mentioned that they have but she can’t promise they’ll progress more or even digress. It’s eating me alive. I’m not sure of what to do, I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m just wishing so much that she could love again and i’m wishing she could love me. I know I can’t force it.... I’ve never vented on Reddit and I’d be thankful for advice. This is silly but I have no one to talk to about it...

never really thought about this, but recently i tried to think about my convictions and try to probe for what i really believe in.

tried all sorts of stuff, such as challenging my world view and morals, personal abilities etc. but no matter how much i pressed myself i never really felt that zap of... defensiveness or any sort of attachment to what i was thinking about.

i even managed to bring myself to tears on multiple occasions but it still didn't feel like it was actually "important" or "significant" to me. more of just an automatic response. feels like i'm an imposter in my own body.

I've always gone to private practices for counselors. So if I didn't like them I could just not make another appointment. I know it's kind of crappy but with my depression and anxiety I stressed out about telling them I don't like them. This one is part of a business with several counselors. I was seeing an awesome counselor but she got promoted to director and couldn't see me anymore. The new one I got isn't very good. Well I just don't like her style. If I get tongue tied or have a brain fart where I can't think of a word she tries to guess. She's never right. It makes me think she's not listening. She also like to define everything. I know defining words are important but it's frustrating telling her how I feel and she basically says no that's not right you probably feel like.... So I want to see someone else but I don't want to hurt her feelings. Any suggestions?

I'm an 18yo female pegasister. I feel happy most of the time, but right now I feel kind of isolated and down on myself. I'm on the autism spectrum. I don't have many friends, and the one friend group I had just imploded. So now, I feel like I have nothing and nobody. I have to prepare for college, which I'm going to next year, and that really stresses me. Online school just keeps dragging on and I'm just about sick of it at this point. My parents are divorced and fight all the time, and my father has narcissistic personality disorder, but I'm kind of stuck with him since I don't have my own car. I also have to worry about my AP Exams, as I have ADHD, too, which makes studying hard and overwhelming. The pandemic and quarantine have taken a toll on me, despite my attempts to keep my spirits up. I feel like a loser and inferior to everybody else -- it's like a disease, I chronically compare myself to others and it sucks. Right now I just feel like I'm all alone and worthless. But, one of the things that has gotten me through this pandemic is... King Sombra. I've never dated anyone, I never really got crushes or dated boys in middle and high school (to the point where many kids joked about me being lesbian), and romance has never been a big part of my life. But King Sombra... I've been madly in love with King Sombra for the past year. I've never felt this way about anybody, really, human or not, but I have an actual crush on a talking unicorn. And not just any talking unicorn from MLP -- evil incarnate, the Sauron of the MLP universe. I know it's weird. I don't know what's stranger, the fact that's he's a horse, the fact that he's a fictional character, or the fact that he's a bad guy. It's bizarre, but it's gotten me through the tougher, more difficult days of my life. Maybe it's just that I'm attracted to power since I feel as though I have so little of it in my life right now. How I wish King Sombra could be real... the plushie I have of him is nice, but just not the same. I don't know really know why I'm posting details about my personal life on Reddit, but I just felt like I needed to express my feelings anonymously and to people who won't judge me. Well, thanks to those of you who took the time to read this -- it really means a lot.

If you really are feeling depressed a lot my best advice for you is too go outside and get some nice fresh air and go do something! It has helped me and it will probably you too!

I keep scaring people away and take my anger out on the other person when I don’t get the roleplay I wanna do.

How can I help control this? I need to start being more cool about this

Hello so I created this acc because i got rejected from a governemnt scholarship that would help me alot this college. this is that post

I wanted to share that, now, I am a full scholar in my current university. I saved my parents a hella lot of money this semester. I just wanted to say that it really does get better. Work hard for it and you will receive what you deserve.

💖💖💖

I'm a 22 year old, and just like most guys who aren't particularly attractive, I have had my fair share of being friendzoned and rejected. But my lack of romantic success isn't the focus here, it's the effect of the pain (of realising you will never be anything more to the person you have fallen in love with), on personal character growth.

Looking back, I used to be a bit egotistical, and at times even entitled, thanks to a comfortable environment while growing up and amazingly supportive parents.

But as much as I found happiness on the career side, I could never find happiness romantically. Not a single person has ever expressed any interest and when I do take the initiative after misreading signals, kamikaze pilots had better rates of survival.

Just today, the girl who I'd been infatuated over for a long time kind of gave me a signed certificate of eternal friendzone, which prompted me to write here. Of course I am making some big mistake in the process and it's not in any way the fault of the other person.

Each time this happens, the pain is immense, it envelopes me and, as all rejected veterans will tell you, it's soul crushing. But, silver lining, I've seen my character, especially my compassion and love for others, grow and my darker traits receed. This might just be a coping mechanism by my mind that maybe thinks "if I can just care and love the next person a little bit more they might love me back too".

But due to this, I feel a strange happiness when I do get hurt, cause I'm happy I am improving as a person... Which starts a vicious circle of seeking pain so I can maximize personal growth at the expense of happiness.

What do you guys think of this? Is this how we all deal with such pain? So, if we ever find a spiteful person, if we can cause enough emotional pain for them, could we eventually improve their character?

Would love to know your thoughts on this. 😁

My mother had cancer for 3/4 years and she had incredible pain in the last 2 years, like constantly and there were nothing that could help. She had many wounds on the body and sometimes i had to treat her wounds because the medical staff wasnt around.

I am 16 now and for these 2 years I was traumatized like everyday or so but I never really cried and always tried to keep the tears back. Also I never got any support or so from anyone (most friends didnt know about it).

2 Weeks ago she died and on my last visit I couldnt even really talk to her because there were always medical staff in the room.

My brothers and my sister are all older than me and they are completley down and I really fear to loose my brother because hes taking lots of drugs and dosent really faces his emotions. Its the times when they cry that I feel sad too.

I am not sad, not really. It feels like I am thinking about her without emotions, as if I blocked them. I reallly try to cry and let it all out but I just cant. Sometimes I feel a reaally deep sadness or fear inside of me that trys to get out but I cant. Its like im numb but still feel happiness and positive things.

does anyone know how I can fix that? I want to cry like my siblings.

Hi, all!

I haven't been on this (or really any) subreddit in half a decade. But recently, I started rewatching MLP and started falling in love with it again. And that reminds me of the good ole' days of when I had a really supportive community built on the same kind of magical friendship the show tries to inspire.

And while I have my own problems around self-loathing and whatnot, I wanted to post to let everyone here know that I'm here for you. I'm happy to talk and be a supportive friend and lifeline if anyone needs it. I'm a veteran and I'm ready to jump back in those trenches. <3

(Oh, and I happen to be trans, if that's a specific trait for anyone.)

Please don’t laugh at me and say I am looking for clout but For about 10 years now MLP Friendship is Magic has helped me out through tough times. Now seeing Gen 5 and it’s style has made me depressed for days!

I am worried that I won’t have something to get me through the hard times of my life and I hope that Gen 5 doesn’t have that 3D style and have a 2D style and for Gen 4 to keep going.

How can I be positive from this and stay in the fandom?

This is lame but. On Friday I (18M) asked my friends if they were down to take shrooms on Saturday. One friend said yeah since he was gonna go to San Francisco. But my other friends said nah they don’t feel comfortable going to SF off shrooms. Which is understandable. They all agreed they were gonna wait until April when they have a air BNB in Las Vegas. I decided to take shrooms by myself on Saturday since I know I can’t go to the air BNB in vegas. Saturday comes and I take the shrooms. I ask if there down to hangout just in our neighborhood and they said no which if fine with me. they just didn’t want to. Sunday comes and I was really high the night before. My friend text the group chat that there all gonna Meetup and take shrooms. Literally the day after I did. I told them I’m down to hangout but I can’t take shrooms since I did the night before. Which sucks they didn’t tell me they were gonna do it the exact next day. I would’ve waited a day. and said they were gonna wait like 2 months anyways. they end up telling me they don’t have an extra car seats so I can’t hangout with them anyways even if I wanted to. Which is again understandable since theres like 5 of them in one car. It just sucks that my whole friend group told me they weren’t doing shrooms and immediately once I do them they all do them without me. Even if I didn’t take shrooms I still would’ve not been able to slide since the car seats. Shits just sucky all around man. all my friends are who knows where making memorable memories. While I sit home alone. :/

That was terrifying. Among my friend's long list of problems is that he has trust issues, and unfortunately I'm one of the few people he does trust. This means when he's going through crap, he usually only confides in me, and then I have to deal with his problems and try to stop him from giving in to his toxic thoughts. But yesterday, he called me to tell me he thinks the world is out to get him and he wants to end it all. I did everything I could to try and convince him suicide is never the answer, but he didn't want to believe me. By some miracle, he happened to mention that his adoptive mother works at my college. So after he hung up on me, I was able to track her down and explain the situation so my friend could get the help he needs before it's too late. The sheriff checked on him and decided he should stay at a mental hospital for a while. This is the third time he's been to one.

It's not that I don't want to help my friend, or don't care about him. But WHY WHY WHY DID HE HAVE TO TALK TO ME INSTEAD OF A PROFESSIONAL!!!!! I'm not trained for this! I don't know what I'm doing! They have hotlines for this, with professionals who know how to help! But no, he had to talk to me about this, and make me scared that if I say the wrong thing he's gonna kill himself! That was one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever had, and I'm still feeling shaken up about it.

I hope he starts getting better soon, because if he doesn't start opening up to more people, I don't know how many more of his problems I can take. At the same time, I feel like I can't tell him I don't want to help him anymore, because that's one of the things he's paranoid about. He doesn't believe anyone wants to help him or that he's worthy of help. And he IS worthy of help. I want to see him doing better. I just wish I wasn't the only one he seeks help from.

Please, if you're having suicidal thoughts, seek help from a professional. They are trained in how to help. Your friends most likely aren't. And calling your friends about suicide is just going to freak them out, because they care about you and don't want to feel like your life is in their hands. Trying to prevent someone from killing themselves is terrifying when you don't know what you're doing. Please don't make someone have to go through that. Seek help from a professional first, and tell your friends when you've decided not to kill yourself.

It worked out in my case, but it easily could've gone very badly. If his mom didn't happen to work for my college, he might not have gotten help in time.

i’ll try and keep this short and sweet really. i have no one to talk to. like at all. i go 2-3 days without a single message from anyone apart from my dad and that’s usually a few messages. i’m on platforms to try and help me meet new people but nothing is working i’m still at home depressed as shit. i’ve been working out daily just to try and keep my head screwed on. i have even tried messaging people but i either don’t get a reply or it’s just a one sided conversation no matter how hard i try and actually talk to them. even about things that they are interested in and i don’t care much for, i try and seem interested just to talk to them. but nothing is working.

even with the few close friends i have they have now started airing me as well, and i just feel lost and terrible about myself. i just don’t know what to do. the only light is that i’m hopefully going to uni this year and that’s the only thing that’s pushing me through just the knowledge that i will actually meet some people and hopefully have some people that are there for me as much as i am for them. that and in 5months i’ll be self harm clear for a year. that’s the only things that seem like they are going right in my life.

i’ve been trying to grow my photography business but nothing i happening with it no matter how hard or how much effort i put in.

i don’t know what i will gain from posting this. i just needed to air out my thoughts really
