Pain Will Not Hurt If You Read This Blog



At the recommendation of one of my good friends on the Playstation Network (or PSN as the kids are calling it), I have decided to make this blog about my various "encounters" (good, bad, and otherwise) on PSN, as well as anything else I feel like putting in here, because it's my blog! Mwahaha!

Let's start off with a bit of a more anger-inducing topic for me and it is with some people I encounter on PSN; people that are or used to be on my friends list. To be fair, I will not be mentioning names and it is not one person in particular, but there seems to be a bit of an "epidemic" of people being mad at me or hating me or whatever for reasons I don't quite understand. Let me elaborate on one of the more bizarre situations like this; there was a friend I had on my PSN list who I was getting along with just fine until I find out, through a mutual friend, that she deleted me from her list because I "recorded" her voice. To me, this was confusing to say the least. Why would I record someone else's voice? Did she think I was going to use it for some voice over work and not tell her about it and keep the money for myself? I still don't get it and, evidently, I never will.

Now that is one of the more bizarre occurrences, but there are several people on PSN who have been mad at me or have never talked to me again (more so the former). I realize that I talk a lot, but I have a headset, so am I not supposed to use it? Should I just breathe into it like an obscene phone caller and not actually carry on a conversation with anyone?

Another thing on PSN I run into that is along the same lines as that is people on my list who just do not care about anyone's feelings but either their own or their friends that they have "known longer". By the way, the "known longer" excuse is just that, an excuse, seeing as there is nothing I can do about that. That's like when you get fired from a job, but they don't use the term "fired", they opt to say they are "letting you go".

I have mentioned it before to various people on PSN (whether anyone was listening or even cared is a different story), but PSN is my social life. I honestly have no real friends in the world, so anything that happens on PSN is what is happening in my social life. It is sad, but true. It just seems like I am always the one who want to play with other people; it is never the other way around or even mutual to where they actually want to play a game with me. It is like I am some sort of parasite who they just have to "put up with".

There are people I play with on PSN that the highlight of my day is playing with these specific people, so when they treat me like crap, it is not something I take in passing.

Sometimes I wonder if it would just be easier to just give up on playing multiplayer games altogether and just start wallowing in my own self-hatred and stick to playing single-player, all alone, with no one to converse with.

I know this was not exactly an uplifting first blog, but I am not going to be "chipper" all the time and this is one of those times.

Make sure you keep an eye on The CiSH Chronicles on a regular basis as I will be posting new editions of the blog whenever I feel the notion. Peace out!
