I'm like so sleepy (it's 2:20 AM) , but I miss having friends 💔 I found out I might have BPD in the worst way possible and it only clicked until *after* I impulsively ended all my relationships after a bad friendship breakup.
So...
Anyone native American/aboriginal Canadian here that want to chat? I would love to yap about my ocs with you. Especially the ones from the Rez lol

Also random, but I like making CYOA'S stories, I have so many ideas, I can't wait to finally finish my fanfic ones ♥️

I will not be your friend ❤️

This is going to go about as well as it did for your ancestors after the white people got off the boat.

You weren't supposed to say that first part out loud...

Well you see, normally you discuss shared interests and values and things with people in a normal way over a period of time, until you both realize you like hanging out with each other and have at least some amount of emotional investment in each other's well being. Bursting into a room going "Can I has friends??" just gets you weird looks.

But hey, I hear there's this cartoon about ponies that's good for people with your condition...

oh wow! Never expected ableism from someone like you! Especially after you've been so helpful to me getting started here 🤨

Wait wait wait, you show up here being RACIST and then complain about ableism? Wow.

Oi, I'm native American! Born in the midwest!

Awesome! :D :D I'm from the Great Plains area!

Oh? I thought maybe you were inuit Eskimo Canadian or something.

🎵 Half Cherokee and Choctaw

That is an extremely specific type of friend to want, I think you would have better luck getting back in touch with anybody you knew before this who met that criteria, we don't have very many Native American users.

We have some Mexicans, but they're kinda like the Bosmer of Native Americans. Lore just as crazy as the other Elves, but due to the engine limitations it's sometimes hard remember they're not just short Imperials.

That's unfortunate! Usually, there are at least one or two natives hanging around, but oh well. T-T Thanks for the suggestion, though; I'll think about it!

Wait, we have Mexicans? When did they sneak in?

Yeah BPD is a pain in the ass speaking from experience haha. Life gets a whole lot easier once you get your shit under wraps though, trust.

Yeah, I got a bunch of DBT apps, and I'm getting in touch with a psychiatrist!! It was hard to do since my family was one of those types that don't like talking about mental health issues :D wishing the best for the both of us in our recovery <3

Ngl, the fact you're looking for a specific ethnicity as a friend strikes me as odd. Why do they have to be native American or aboriginal? Makes it sounds like you're using this forum as a dating website 💀. Additionally, most people don't open up like:

"Hey-hi! I'm a purple-loving person who decided dropped all my friends on impulse and has emotionally-crippling BPD. Be my friend please, so I can tell you all about my OC characters (Only if your a particular race tho)! 🤗"

Alternatively, you could just tell me to suck a fuck and just keep friend-shopping for racial purity. I'm sure you'll find someone else and you two can make a really dope Native American inspired story.

Oh please tell me, Penguin, how exactly does one suck a fuck?

You see, when a mommy bird and a daddy bird love each other very very much, but mommy bird is a good Christian bird. So she doesn't want to do butt stuff because Jesus wouldn't want that before marriage, so mommy bird grabs a hair tie and...

LMAO this just made me giggle, but don't you think it's easier to make friends on common ground? I'm native if that helps, and there's no harm in simply wanting to chat with someone who's the same ethnicity as you. It's just the same as a poc person at school wanting to be friends with another poc because it's familiar to them :))

P.S you must have a rough social life if you see anyone looking to chat = wanting to date

Oh yeah sure but when I do that it's a "problem" and I "need to put away those haplogroup charts from the 1800s"!

Just out of curiosity, since I think you're trolling and looking for a reaction, who do you have more common ground with? The 1/8 Native boy who grew up on a reservation but is clearly and obvoiusly white (with just enough Native ancestry to legally live on the res), or the 100% indigenous person who was adopted shortly after birth by russians and grew up in Moscow?

Maybe impulsively befriend a therapist? Just a thought

Apparently you can rent friends in Japan. Perhaps consider moving there? They apparently love westerners and supposedly have great restaurants and brothels.

All your wildest dreams will come true.

Who needs to rent friends, they have cat cafes.

Fair point. Cats > friends in most cases.

Thank you for the suggestion, but my goal is to connect with someone of the same ethnicity as me >.<

wait wait so, the issue here you're taking with this suggestion, is that the rent-a-friend company is Japanese?

Ahh yes, because clearly the problem is that I wasn’t excited enough about the brothel/fake friend fantasy. Not the fact that it was a completely gross suggestion in the first place and I was just turning it down politely. But what else am I supposed to expect from someone who forgot their comprehension skills?

So the idea of having a Japanese friend is gross to you? Wow.

I think you may have missed that this person was mocking you. My suspicion is that most people in this thread believe you to be morally inferior, that you are committing Hitler-esque microaggressions due to a sense of ethnic superiority, and that these character flaws—borne of extremist, low intellect CRT brainwashing in school—are a big part of why you are lonely (not necessarily my opinion, just my best guess about the general room temperature).

Again, I'm just voicing what I intuitively believe is the rough general consensus. Most people here do not believe who someone's ancestors are, what their first language is, and who they grew up with have any bearing on their worth as a person, and certainly not their suitability to be a friend, nor the ease of finding common ground with them.

Also, I'm sure a large portion is convinced you're making all this up to get a reaction.

If they're not trolling, I just want to know how they thought this thread was going to go. The random "won't someone chat with me" threads always devolve into joking and shitposting immediately because there's no topic and literally nothing else to do with them.

The sudden flip to anger and dropping of insults felt out of place enough to be fake though, the random "ableism" accusation especially. I'm not actually sure if there's any real people who go around calling everything ableism, or if that's just another meme about blue haired tranny lesbians.

That thread wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated. I sensed a lot of sexual frustration there.

Either way, this is probably the most entertaining noob thread I've seen in a minute since that NotJor guy.

I think you can select from a menu of rent-a-friends, and perhaps one or two might be close to your specifications.

Asians and Native Americans have the same ancestry.

Are "aboriginals in the US or Canada" really the same ethnicity anyway, isn't that over 500 different cultures?

Not sure we want to unpack the reasons you excluded South and Central Americans from the list, we can leave that one for your therapist.

oh, so you're stupid LMAO what's got you so heated you're nitpicking every comment to find something that's not even there?
Asians and Native Americans have similar ancestry, but they aren't the same. We have differing cultures and beliefs that have long been separated for over thousands of years.

2nd, wow, you used Google for once. shocking. Obviously, there are over 500 different groups but we're still from the same ancestors pre-colonial because the only *real* difference is that we have colonial terms dividing us "native americans vs aborignals of CA" different terms, but historically the same people with similar cultures/worldviews so yeah, we are the same ethinicty.

3rd. Because this wasn’t a continent-wide diversity census, it was a personal post asking if anyone from my culture wanted to talk about OCs. This isn’t Survivor: Global Indigenous Edition. You’re the only one turning it into a UN panel discussion. Maybe take it down a notch.

You haven't even said what your tribe is. And what you're posting about "similar worldviews" is a generalization so broad it's useless at best. People spread across massive continents had wildly different cultures to the point the only things they really had in common were "lived on this half of the planet before people from the other half arrived." But since I actually don't believe someone with even passing interest in history would really be this way, you're getting a little transparent with the baiting at this point. Shocking. Wow!

At the basic level, there's no way an American Indian who grew up in that community, can only find other people of the correct ethnicity by wandering the internet and asking for replacement friends at random while going on about their mental illness. But the OP was actually fine, it's your responses that torpedoed this whatever it is you're attempting.

(inb4 they join the review contest and declare they'll beat everyone who wronged them and get them banned)

I think Mizal's point was that "the indigenous people of America and Canada" is such a broad definition for an ethnic group it's almost insultingly meaningless, just like Fluxion's points about "pocs" that you never responded to. I find "Asians" similarly stupid for what it's worth.

Okay, there's the polite part of the post out of the way. Because you misunderstood but then doubled down on "the same people" anyway, and I'm sorry but what. The Incans and the Iroquois are not "the same people with similar cultures" you vapid nincompoop. And no, I didn't "use Google for once" on any of those things. There are a lot of people in this community with a deep interest in history, you're the only one showing your ignorance.

What's weird is that you're actually the second fanfic loving wacko I've seen here willing to override and simplify the actual values and beliefs of real humans to make them fit your personal reality, and then lash out at other posters with this kind of arrogance. It's disrespectful and dishonest.

Fwiw I would happily hand out smallpox blankets to be rid of the OP's kind. (Fanfic writers.)

But just the same it's a stretch to put them in a category with the magical pony boy. No, that one's special.

Perhaps so. I've just found I've developed an unnatural dislike of the mentally unwell ever since I had a dream about Hetero Malk forcing me to sign my name in a black book.

(If not a troll) I think we just have a young kid trying to find out who she is within the confines of a world defined entirely by race and "oppressors" versus "oppressed."

Edited cause I'm long-winded and rude.

I'm not sure what you think CRT is, but judging by the associated buzzwords, if it's Critical Race Theory you think is something that is being or has ever been taught to K-12 children in the US, I'm afraid you've been unfortunately deceived by the pernicious hallucinations of the Murdoch Countries' collective dementia.

My own theory as to the cause of OP being a gremlin, based on repeated observations of people like this and the experience of having been a child on places all over the internet, is that this purple person is either not a native, or is not one in a very significant way. Without the tools to actually connect to or identify somebody that actually lives on "the rez", she's more just looking for someone to bounce her OCs and their associated ideas off of so that she can learn more about what the lifestyles and conditions of her imaginary characters might be like, from a more socially acceptable position than an outsider pestering somebody for details about their life and culture so that it can be incorporated into whatever they're writing about their OCs. Many such cases of this, the practice's been around since before the internet, when people had to do their polite and well-intentioned brownface by mail. The difference now of course is that it's easier for teenagers to do it, which I suspect the purple lady is based on self-diagnosis and typing accent, but maybe that demographic is just older now.

Your explanation makes sense though. A sneaky way to research, basically.

Anyway, I don't know if CRT is really taught in schools (colleges), but I think it's pretty clear it's taught on TikTok etc. FTR I don't necessarily resent it in and of itself, but I do resent people calling it a theory, because I feel that's an unearned level of rigor/substantiality.

EDIT: my issues with CRT are not related to whether or not it is an application or derivative of Marxism, or whatever buzz words the MAGAs like to use. They are similar to my issues with the Austrian school of economis (which rejects to a degree mathematical models and emperical evidence). I don't think CRT is rigorous enough, testable enough, and internally self-consistent enough. I'm sure someone will be offended by that, but this is 2025, we're all offended at this point. EDIT2: I didn't major in the social sciences so my opinion means little.

She probably is really young, (if she's real)
No one was even rude to her and she got so tilted so fast, I think I was the harshest by far and I only posted after she abandoned the thread.

I suspect that on whatever fanfic site she uses a thread like this gets a lot of positive attention with people thinking these things make her cool and special. Then that didn't happen here and she got upset and fled.

Should've stuck to the art threads, that still gets good attention and it's for doing something besides being born.

I also think it could be an issue of demographics, or at least I imagine fanfic writers as being individuals deathly allergic to grass and mostly white children from the US or UK. And here there are mostly adults and people who are Hispanics, Chinese and probably others, and Dutch? Real Indians too, from India or at least there used to be. Nobody is going oh no, the Trail of Tears, we feel so bad. T-T

Real Indian from real India here! Columbus was a twat.

Lol, retarded racist fag.

Edit: I've got Blackfoot and "Creek" in me but I don't think we can be friends because you seem extremely stupid.

Yummy! How are you! Haven't seen you in a while! I will be your friend, and not this weird racist person's.

Oh sure but when Cel mentions that he's looking for racial purity he just gets called a Nazi. Lol.

Sounds like OP and I could be great friends if he wasn't so retarded :(

Osiyo from the Cherokee tribe fellow prairie nigger. I doubt we will be friends, but I am in fact a member of the Cherokee tribe (documented)

:gay:

I can't believe you voted to genocide the pre-industrial primitives.

Not sure how much but I do have some Comanche blood. Don't think we can be friends though since we generally waged war on everyone around us, including other Indians. Even sold them as slaves if we weren't busy just flaying them alive and raping them.

(Not necessarily in that order)

The Comanche killed a bunch of people around here! Woo! (The Great Raid of 1840.)

Really, a Comanche should only post seeking friendship with Mongols.

Although they really did themselves in by being TOO good at all the torture and slavery and rape, they went in early on and steamrolled the tribes that had been acting as a buffer between them and whitey. They managed to roll the frontier back for a bit after that though which was more than anyone else did.

Fun trivia is that they escaped their typical raids by having so many horses they could just ride them into the ground at full speed and it was no big deal, the posses following meanwhile had to keep the wellbeing of their own animals in mind and couldn't just keep riding for days straight without a break. According to some captive reports the raiders would just wait till one horse was ready to collapse, slit it open and sort of loosely wrap the intestines around their shoulders for an on the go snack, and hop to the next horse.

You know, exactly like every other native culture, they all had the same worldviews.

There were lots of German Texan kids kidnapped around here, The Captured by Scott Zesch is a fantastic book by the way that shares a lot of these stories. The author started by researching a family member and from there came across a lot of similar incidents. He's got a detailed retelling of the Legion Valley Massacre which is something I've legit wanted to do a storygame on before just for how badass Matilda Friend was.

The Comanche were really fucking interesting, but it's probably a good thing they're all dead; I can only imagine what they'd do to a fanfic writer with she/her pronouns smh.

Anyway, one of these days I'll do a DNA test or try to find out what my grandmother was exactly. Although I know Mexicans need not apply to this thread, her family came from somewhere around Chihuahua. (And probably ate a few too.)

People in ye olde times were unbelievably unsentimental about their animals. You can kind of see a remnant of that in Amish / trad Mennonite communities, or even in Mongolia where they still eat a ton of horse meat and don't name their rides. It's like, the more key a resource a horse is, the less precious you'll be about it. 

Can't believe someone would just casually eat a horse.

Dogs now, uh..

Oh yeah, and I wasn't implying sentimentality in the people NOT running their horses into the ground either. That was probably more just a practical thing of having less horses to spare and the risk of being on foot cutting survival chances down so dramatically, besides not being used to pushing themselves for days either.

Not that personal feelings would have realistically mattered here,
because obviously even if he loves his horse that he hand raised, Farmer John who just found his brother and parents dead would prefer to not find his sister in law gang raped with her head smashed in and his nephews whisked away to somewhere a lot more than that.

Got some Cherokee in my blood but that don't mean shit, really. I've also got Irish, German, English, French, Welsh, Dutch. So I'm pretty sure my ancestors were a bunch of horny European degenerates who came over here, saw the local women, and were like "Score!"

Whether or not it was consensual, I have no idea. I'd like to think yes, but considering the general history of how white people treated the local indigenous women... well, anyways.

Anyways, if you're looking for people who you think are gonna relate to you culturally (keeping to your own people, essentially) that's on you. But did it ever occur to you that branching out would be a good thing?

Aside from the possibility that you have things in common with people outside of your own race cause we're all human, interacting with people from other races and cultures allows you to learn more about the world and the people in it, and also would give others a chance to learn more about you and your background. You know... the kind of thing that helps foster empathy and tolerance? Not to mention some of us on here have BPD or know others who have it, and would possibly be a little more understanding about your situation if you weren't being a blood purist?

EDIT: shit I replied to EndMaster when I was trying to reply to OP. My bad.

Cool, you and @Petros are related!

But telling Endmaster to not be a blood purist smh.

Nah I was trying to tell the OP not to be one. I accidentally replied to EndMaster's comment instead.

Yes, you explained that. I was attempting to be humorous. It seems to have failed, but you can still add that to your data files on human interaction.

If it makes you feel better I'm sure it was possible to legally purchase woman for a handful of beads or a copper tea kettle in many places.

I got sidetracked from responding to the OP, but you really did just come in here and go "Hi, I have a mental illness. I threw away all my friends on a whim, now I want someone here to make me feel better by replacing them until I change my mind again!"

"As long as you pass the racial purity test, I'd love to chat! But first, watch me insult some mods for no reason."

Anyway, I am also indigenous - I am a thirty-seven year old Israeli man named Elan Bar-Bitshurat, currently stationed in Qiryat Shemona :-) 

I love electronic music and DnD 

Cool, you and the OP are related! (According to some members here.)

Well this has been all a bit disappointing so far. Seemed like there was a bit of fight in the noob(trolling or genuine) so I was sort of hoping to at least see something like this

But I guess I shouldn't be surprised we got this instead.
