Any stranger things fans in here?

I had a realization early on that my bullies deserved pity more than hatred. I had two in school. One physical and the other verbal. One day i zoned out in the bus and missed my stop and when my verbal bully got off his mom was outside. The poor lady must have weighed 500 lbs and she had fallen in the yard and couldn’t get herself up. The bully kid saw me watch him help her up and had horror on his face. I never mentioned it to anyone. That’s the difference between him and me.

The physical bully had an abusive family. And i found out that weird sex stuff was happening in that situation.

I’m just saying i overcame it by garnering pity for the abusers and it really did help me.

I have been bullied by both women and men.

One of my first memories from school involves being pushed by a girl and slipping on wet floor.

I was bullied by a boy in community college. Later on he said that he repented and would like to be my friend. I gave him another chance, and it was a prank by him. Calling me names, insults, everything continued like earlier.

If someone bullied me after that, I had made up my mind that they won't really repent it. I have not been wrong so far.

You met people who bullied you but still they had some conscience. Most bullies are not like that. I was recently bullied by a couple at a shopping mall. They took my cart from me, and pushed it away.

@the swede My dad is not an introvert. But he is also not an "in your face" person. He has endured things similar to you in the past. The only difference is, people pretend to care if a woman is being abused because it's expected from society. Men have it worse.

My dad and brother have always been very supportive, inspite of some disagreements.

Who else has a huge crush on Maya Hawke?

If you are older, I am sure your daughter/ son enjoys seeing her (character's) quirky personality. Blushing.

Really liked her role (and I suspect she may be like that for real). But it comes as shock to me she's the spawn of Hawke/Thurman.... but now that you said it.... dayum that's weird... or not... just that.... now I feel old again.

To be honest, I am more fond of other actresses from her mom's era. She is a good actress (her mom) but I prefer others. Just personal preference.

Like everyone usually prefers a TS9 but I like the sound of an SD-1 instead. Yellow > Green.

Wait did I refer a pedal in a post about awesome people? Gosh I am nerdy.

I believe that writers should give Maya's character more scenes to work on, but lesser dialogue. I recently watched the last season again, and in some scenes her rambling makes it difficult to watch. Painful even.

She is a nice actress. I am sure she
can perform a scene with lesser dialogue, her emotions having conveyed to us through her face expressions - especially her gorgeous and emotive eyes.

I am also looking forward to some sisterly scenes between Max and Robin. Hope that happens.

And Angela having a huge scar around her nose from the surgery. It will help her remind that bullying people can have consequences.

If anyone on here is from Europe, will you please post if you have seen a stranger things poster in your city?

I have read rumors that someone in France saw a poster without a release date on a bus terminal or train station.

I am excited.

Started a bit slow and weird then we were really into it Until the last season which brought in the long haired dorky bad actor and then went from silly horror content to full on exorcist stuff. We stopped watching it

How did it end? In the previous seasons, every time you thought it was over they underground weird creatures came back

I would have loved to post a summary but it will spoil the plot for those who still haven't watched it.

I will say that the villains are still undefeated.

Tonight I saw a very good musician perform. Someone told me that he is more than 60 years old. He played the keyboard as well as sang. Would have liked to meet him, but I could not overcome my shyness.

Happened and still happens to me often, it’s a big part of my life as an introvert and shy person. Somehow all that turned into more of a selective choice thing. And I reflect on it today as I am 45 and successfully managed to get married and have kids and all that. I am pretty damn strong and brave, but now I make a choice based on my personality and i accept it in another way.

Many times today I ponder over a situation in the moment and while I can push away the introvert and shy person I might as well make the choice that I really don’t need to do what i previously thought I wanted to do. And I’m fine with it. I may have missed something, or not. Who cares? Life goes on.

What I’m trying to say is that for a long time in my life I felt bad for being who/what I am and there was many regrets and anxiety things buried there. Nowadays I embrace who I am and see these things as qualities. All of the sudden, maybe you’re not as introvert and shy as you think. Decide and control it. I embrace it and accept myself, but I no more let it control me.

I’m still an introvert and shy person, but I’m proud happy over who I am.

They say life's social rules and norms are largely determined and dictated by extroverts. I mean, posers.

Oh, snap. Did I say that??

Seriously, though.... even if a introvert invents or discovers something new it is going to be implemented
into our world and sold to everyone by a bunch of extroverts.

In some galaxy I would imagine there is a world made for and by introverts, where the incessantly blathering extroverts
always drawing attention to themselves feel totally out of place.

Introverts are….hmm… how do i put this…

You know the saying… behind every man there’s a… wife… or something like that…


Nahh… that was a really bad take on things

As an introvert, I have always been attracted to people who are also shy and reserved. I don't like loud people who constantly have to be the centre of attention. That's another reason why I've never felt comfortable in bands. I enjoyed making music together, but as soon as it came to gigs or parties, I always felt very out of place among the loud, drunken people. To be honest, I feel most comfortable when I'm at home alone with my wife (watching Stranger Things, of course). And even my wife's company sometimes gets too much for me and I need a day just by myself.

I get what you are saying.

Maybe introverts are not truly needed or useful until the Outgoing and Popular Cheerleaders and Football Stars from
Youth have a Midlife Crisis.

My saying was more like: we’re ruling the world behind the scenes…

Yeah things look a little crazy and weird right now so we had to let the crazy’s run amok for a while but we’re on it. It’s all good. We got yall backs.

Wow. So, you all are to blame, too??

. And even my wife's company sometimes gets too much for me and I need a day just by myself.

recognizing that 100%, my wife understands this also. Sometimes I even need my space when we’re together, like watching tv in the couch. I can cuddle up and be cosy watching Netflix for hours, but sometimes I need to actually have empty space to arms length and in my brain sitting in the same couch is still equally intimate as if we’re in each others arms. She has a hard time with that, doesn’t like it, but understand I need that sometimes.

My ex gf of 2 years who had to move away was extroverted, but not a "loud" person.

After we started dating, she became aware that introverts exist and their struggles. Initially she only toned down some of her behavior while I was around.

Later on, she changed her personality so that if there are other introverts around, they would be comfortable hanging around with her. She thanked me for subconsciously making her aware of issues introverts have.

She can still be an extrovert around those who don't mind it.

She told me that some of her "wild" extroverted friends and colleagues didn't like the way she changed her behavior. But introverts started enjoying talking with her. An older male colleague who had never talked with her told her that he was thankful for making the workplace suitable for him when she was around, and that no one had done something like this in more than a decade.
