Dear Papabear,

I just recently discovered your site and figured I could use some advice. Firstly what you should know is that I am heavily divided Love and Hate, Life and Death, Courage and Cowardice in just about everything. I recently told my closest confidant (my sister) how depressed I was and had become of late and was about to explain all about everything I do lately and explain how I see things but she has the ability to make me explain things faster then I like and I told her how much I wanted to die and I can't stop thinking about her reaction was to start crying and ask me why "I" would leave her like that alone. I left and later made a appointment with a psychotherapist for depression and told myself wait to see what he says first before I do anything. I later go to a few appointments and being skeptical didn't tell him anything important while I tested how open to certain ideas he was, not very. 

Well, I being reasonable enough thought very hard about that talk and I realized I kinda resent the reaction I got. I mean not just that the entire reason I felt like shit was because I felt that she if anyone would understand how I felt. My sister who I lived with for 18 years and who was like my mother growing up didn't get why I was so miserable. I grew up in a single parent home with my Dad and sister and we were close. After that I decided to impose self exile from my family my Dad, my sister, my aunt (she was my other mother figure). I'll sit home and do nothing then hang with them anymore.

To fill the void of my family I decided to let myself open up a bit to my friends but the main problem with that is that I have only told my close friend that I'm Bi and I know for a fact he and all my other friends hate furries so I can't even have a meaningful conversation with anybody about my life without ignorance. Doesn't help that I live in a rather small community lacking anything in the way of social interaction outside of drinking heavily or gambling.

Anyway I'm just looking for anything that might give me hope the world is making me more jaded even thou I already misanthropic but in books are my escape from life.

Animosh (the miserable and lonely)

P.S. Animosh means Dog in Ojibwa in case you were wondering

Dear Animosh,

As I have written in other columns, suicide is the worst option. I’ve tried it, luckily failed. And in failing got to see with my own eyes the misery I caused everyone from my supremely selfish act. What you need to understand, Animosh, when you do something like tell your sister you want to kill yourself (or actually do the deed) is that it is not all about you. Your life affects others around you, and killing yourself would cause those who love you great pain because they love you. Your sister’s reaction, therefore, is completely understandable, so please consider how your words might hurt her in the future.

This is not to say that you should not go to your sister when you are troubled. People who are so depressed that they want to commit suicide should seek help. I have a feeling, though, that you didn’t approach your sister in a way that was seeking help but, rather, indulging in a self-pitying tirade that didn’t take her feelings into account. Am I right?

Next, you went to a therapist. Good idea. But then you weren’t honest with him. So, how do you expect this therapist to help you if you don’t tell him what the matter really is? Of course they didn’t seem to react to your pain as they should because you didn’t give them the whole story. So, don’t blame the therapist; it was your lack of honesty that led to an inappropriate reaction on the part of the counselor.

Next, you cut yourself out of your family’s life. Again, bad move. What did they do to you that they deserve such treatment? Sounds like your sister, in particular, has been very supportive of you. You even say you, your dad, and your sister have been very close. Your dismissive treatment of them is most immature, Animosh.

Finally, you seek out friends who don’t like furries and even “hate” them. Why would you prefer such company to that of family members who love you? It boggles this bear’s mind.

There’s a line from the original Star Trek series in which Mr. Spock says, “If there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them.” You, Animosh, have made your own purgatory. Are there things in the world to be depressed about? Sure, but there are also many good things in the world to be happy about, such as a family’s love. It is all about your attitude and whether or not you choose to be happy. That power is in your own paws.

My advice to you, Animosh, is this: go back to communicating with your sister and father. When you have people who love you like that, to throw them away like trash is a sin. Also, stop thinking about only yourself and think of how your actions affect those who care about you. It is only when you do this that you will find yourself and happiness again.

After the box-office success of Monsters vs. Aliens in 2009, Dreamworks Animation green-lit a spin-off TV series to be developed for Nickelodeon. Well, now it’s here! Monsters vs. Aliens premiered on cable TV March 23rd with a special pilot episode, “Welcome to Area Fifty-Something”. Regular episodes begin on Saturday mornings starting this weekend.  B.O.B. the blob, Link the fish-man, Dr. Cockroach the bug-man, and Susan (aka Ginormica) the giant-lady just want to live a quiet life on their secret government base, but that’s hard to do when hostile aliens keep showing up — and doing things like kidnapping the President! Nickelodeon has an official web site for the show as well.

So, I've been on FA for about two years now, doing random freebies and commissions etc. etc. You know.

Anyway, after seeing artists who have been around about the same time as me/shorter time than me and having more watchers, I'm getting worried that I'm doing something incredibly wrong here. So what I'm asking is, what can I do to get more watchers? Like, not even commissions, I'm not fussed about making money too much right now, I just feel that I'm not doing something I should be doing.

The only thing I can think of is Networking which I'm... OK at I suppose, but I don't really know where to begin with it.

So... What do? D:

[Dear Readers: the reference in the below letter is to a previous letter published here]

Dear Papa Bear,

Hello! It's me, Foxy!

First off. Thank you for the advice you gave me and let's just say... I show them the perks of being non-norms and make others wish that they are non-norms.

The post-script in your last letter to me gave me a thought and have a go for it. Although, it took me a good three hours before my fingers stop going numb and dialed his number. I didn't expect him to be so... worried. He sound so worried that he thinks I completely ignored or forgotten his existence.

Here's the story... He told me to meet up at the lawn after sports practice. We meet and then... he hugged me. A hug that I felt it wasn't friendship hug. Luckily no one was around after sports practice so yeah. After that we hang out more. I noticed he hangs out with me more than he hangs out with his friends. I believe they knew I was gay and my friend didn't know. They might haze me but knowing that their "leader" has a close connection, they didn't bother and probably forgot about it. But I have a feeling he knew but he's not showing it.

When we hang out his more... closer so to say. We share meals together, go to movies, see the carnival, play some games at the arcade and share one can of soda... yeah it happened with straws... He's more caring after the episode where I avoid him. I think he's making it up to me. He believes that friends stick together and he thinks the reason why I avoided him because he's paying more attention to his new friends rather than his best friend, me.

One night the school have a party and he have drinks. I didn't join, wild parties is not my cup of tea. I decided to go to bed early but I receive a text, drunk text. He needed help, I went to the party entrance and I saw him wobble-walking down the path. He was so drunk he couldn't keep his balance. I helped him along the way. His dorm is quite far from the party venue and my dorm is closer. Plus he smelled like beer for the whole night. As we prepare for bed... I didn't expect him to strip off his clothes until he was only wearing briefs. He lay on the spare bed like he owned it and slept like a baby... Just by looking at him makes me... aroused? His body was so hot its like he's teasing me, its like he's telling me [i]"C'mon touch them muscles, grope them, worship them, I know you wanted to."[/i]. I resisted and tried as much as i can to keep my hands behaved.

All those time hanging out and that one night... What is he telling me? Does he like me or just toying me? I can't tell! Papa Bear, help!

Signed,
Foxy the Blessed... and the Confused

P.S. Drinking age in my place is 18. I think in America its 21. Correct me if I'm wrong.

* * *

Dear Foxy the Blessed,

I’m glad you changed your name, and hope you are feeling better about yourself in other ways. I’m glad, too, that you have been seeing this guy who clearly has an interest in you, as well. I think, though, that you are being very guarded in your interpretation of his feelings for you. I mean, if I were just friends with a guy, I would not share a can of soda with two straws. Gosh, that’s kinda romantic, ya know? Kinda “Lady and the Tramp.”

I do not believe his redoubled interest in you is just out of some feeling of trying to make it up to you because he was paying too much attention to other friends. And then what happens when he gets drunk and needs some help? Whom does he call? You!

Also, you know, when people get drunk, their inhibitions often slip away, much like your boyfriend’s clothing in your bed. Was he sending you signals? Does Donald Trump have a bad comb over? It’s epic, baby.

In your previous letter to Papabear, you called this guy “normal,” meaning straight. I think this guy is seriously hiding his romantic and possibly sexual feelings for you. You have shown some great restraint in not taking advantage of him when he was drunk. That’s a good thing, and I am proud of you for doing that. Now, when he is sober and clear-headed, I think you would do well to push the envelope with him.

Tell him you really like him, and when he says, “I like you, too,” add: “No, I mean I really REALLY like you, if you know what I mean? I’m not sure how you feel about me, but if you feel the same way I want you to know my door is open for you.” I think he’ll get the message.

Then don’t do anything else. Let him take the next step. This is something he has to do himself, as someone who is probably struggling with these emotions, but he needs to know first that you are willing to give him that big first kiss if he takes the lead.

Wishing you luck and love,

Papabear

(Yes, drinking age is 21 in the USA)
