MODS PLEASE LOCK. WE MOVED.

In the kind of situations where someone needs comforting or something like it, I'm useless. I just stand there awkwardly going "wth why you so whiny?" I have issues feeling empathy and pity, and well any emotions other than anger really. I also cannot teach or tell someone how to do something, because if they start asking questions I have problems understanding why they don't get it.

I haven't been changing out of my pajamas except to go to the store or swim practice.

I have an excuse to be in my PJs because it's 9 in the morning. P:

Lolthis. If you want an idea of how bad I am at comforting people just look at Sheldon. XD I stare and crack inappropriate jokes to try and lighten the mood and go, "There there," and rationalize with them ("Hey, at least you know now that he wasn't worth your time instead of sticking with him!? ;D"). And then I try to change the subject. I just don't deal with emotions well unless it's from someone I know really well, in which case I still crack inappropriate jokes, but they actually make them laugh and cheer up instead of hate me. XD

As far as teaching, I'm just as bad in some situations. Part of the reason I don't want kids. I volunteered at the elementary school where my mom teaches and they stuck me in the Kindergarten class teaching patterns. How the hell do you teach someone patterns? Doesn't everyone know what a pattern is? So they're gluing their little shapes and I'm trying to tell them NO THIS IS A PATTERN NOT THIS WHY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS OH RIGHT YOU'RE 5 BUT STILL. It's the same with trying to teach non-math-people algebra. NO THE X GOES OVER HERE THIS IS NOT THAT HARD NONONONO YOU CAN'T JUST CROSS OUT A SQUARE ROOT IT'S THERE FOR A REASON.

That said, I'm pretty patient; I don't mind answering questions for a while, and I can even get into helping people if it's something I like and they follow along pretty quickly. It's just when I have to repeat myself nine thousand times and I have somewhere else to be that I start getting impatient. Or I'm explaining something that seems painfully obvious to me. I are pariah dog, I do not have time for your asinine obedience class, bye! ;D

I'm also one of those people that crack jokes at the worst of times as really, I don't pass up to be the ideal agony aunt D: Humour is good to go with. :3

Wendigo, could you perhaps change our status to "Stable Pharaoh Hound"? We've been at the form for a while and we'll keep going until something new pops up, hopefully nothing soon.

Also, my math exam is keeping me from going online, so I bid ye all farewell.

When people need comforting I ask them if they need a hug nine times out of ten. People are variable creatures though. I know when my friend Jo is upset what she really needs is lots of hugs and some advice and talk (usually), when Becky's upset she likes me to make her laugh and forget she's sad. She doesn't like hugs. :s

So really I'm adaptable when it comes to comforting. If I don't know the person well enough though, I will ask if they want a hug and if they want to talk about it. Then I go from there. :3

I think I'm a decent comforter, anyhow. *shrugs*

And I like teaching, but only one on one. Timid coondog is timid. :s But if someone is willing to learn I'm very patient and try to work out a way to help them learn whatever it is they need to learn.
I've considered some time in the future, becoming a driving instructor for that very reason. :3

Yeah, my comforting style is mostly jokes, some realist advice, and several "it could be worse. You could have..." thrown in here and there. I think my pessimism actually helps them look on the bright side haha.

Teaching. I'm ok at teaching people, but sometimes I have difficulty expressing my thought process. And by teaching I mean explaining concepts to my classmates. I have no experience teaching younger children things.

Lolthis. If you want an idea of how bad I am at comforting people just look at Sheldon. XD

Sheldon Cooper I'm assuming? I really am that bad. I have no clue what to do if someone is crying, i usually say something that just pisses them off. And the teaching thing, remember when Sheldon tried to teach Penny physics? Thats me. I stand there yelling HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND YOU IMBECILE?!?!?! And then I usually throw or break something.

Same here- I've got the Sheldon Cooper reputation as well. Except I don't break things. And like Sheldon, I don't yell...I just get exasperated and walk away, usually with a comment about incompetence or "I don't even know why I bother".

Yeah, this, basically XD; A friend of mine once said that I could 'good-advice someone over a cliff' and I shouldn't help people anymore ;___; I'm not very good with real emotional responses so I go for jokes and realism--things I know I'm good at.

[Prinz]

My idea of comforting people is calling them a stupid bitch and tell them to get over themselves.

My daemon's not very comforting either; if he was corporeal and [censored] I'd have higher chances of getting comforted by a stray dog than by him. :>

[Vay]

Ooooo on that note, Varden is very good with "tough love". He tells it as it is but that's usually what I need. I need a kick up the rear to stop moping sometimes, or I'll just sit there moping forever going "but whyyyy? ;_;"

*is scared to eat the rest of her pizza as it just made her mouth so hot she drunk a whole 1 litre bottle of water* x_x wth?
