Ewok Jedi: If I told you I was actually a guy, how upset would you be? :P
REAL Super Sand: *Shrug*
Ewok Jedi: Ah. Well. Duratok's taking it very hard.
Ewok Jedi: Which is weird since everyone else I've told, some much closer to the persona I've been acting under, has found it funny and continued to be my friend.
Ewok Jedi: How do you feel?
Ewok Jedi: This is exactly the reason I -didn't- tell people :/
Ewok Jedi: Because now I've lost a friend
Ewok Jedi: Nevermind the fact that despite many lies, most of those lies were parallels to actual parts of my life :/
REAL Super Sand: Honestly, I'd care more  about the fact that you or you had been lying about the fact you were mute and/or had disease, that's not something you fool around with or joke about.
Ewok Jedi: Well he was upset about the whole thing.
Ewok Jedi: Because all three are lies.
Ewok Jedi: The rest is mostly true, or true enough. Even the muteness to a degree, though more metaphorically than literally.
Ewok Jedi: I am capable of speech, but have mental and social disorders that make communication a weak point for me.
REAL Super Sand: Shouldn't be used to give you amnesty or leniency towards some of the behavior you've shown in the past.
Ewok Jedi: I don't speak much.
REAL Super Sand: I'm just saying I know people or know 'of' people who've gone through what 'you' had gone through, not sure if you're on the same level of empathy which I have but whatever
Ewok Jedi: I have a deep degree of empathy.
Ewok Jedi: So are you going to un-friend me too?
REAL Super Sand: Honestly, I don't know. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't shocked, or even a bit pissed, but you had your reasons. *Shrug* I'm more pissed off by the fact you used it as an excuse to harsh on people's opinions and such with the use of serious ailments and conditions which should be taken with the utmost respect. So, for now? Yeah, I think use the mental break.
REAL Super Sand: Call me judgemental or whatever shit, don't care. It's just how I feel.
Ewok Jedi: If it's any consolation, I kept people from making jokes about disease because of it. In fact, people making jokes about HIV was part of the reason I incorporated that, though it also gave a good excuse for staying in.
Ewok Jedi: It also helped people accept my empathy
Ewok Jedi: It's easier to accept empathy and sympathy from someone whose life is worse than your own.
Ewok Jedi: Can you at least promise to not tell anyone, so I can tell people at my own pace?
REAL Super Sand: This is all you. I can only say good luck
