The queston thread

Why can so few people appreciate things I am fascinated by? Is the human spectrum really that large?

Quite frankly, it depends of your fascination. There really are no right or wrong opinions in this case. Some people are not open-minded at all, and others explore a bit outside the spectrum, myself somewhat included.

And really, the human spectrum is only as big as a lone person makes it to be, though whether or not society plays a part, I do not know.

Now for the question:

Honestly, what are said interests?
 
I know I'm not alone in having this fascination, but...

Suicide.

It's a terrible thing, but I can't help but be intrigued by it. In kind of a twisted way, perhaps, although I like to think of it as a more of a psychological fascination. Being driven to the point where someone would take such a large leap of faith (or perhaps a call for mercy, depending on how you look at it) is really, really interesting.

Like I said... twisted.

Wow. You, too, eh? It's horrible,of course, but a challange to analyze

What's always intriguing to me would have to be the ways it's done. The fact that it's not just one way, but multiple ways-I mean sometimes they cause pain, other times they don't. Is that pain some kind of "last bit of feeling" for the person?

I think most people who attempt suicide simply because they want to die, and get rid of the pain, try to avoid the painful methods (makes sense, doesn't it?). People who want to affect other people through their deaths, however, might choose different methods... you know, something "showy", so to speak. But this is just an uneducated guess.

And by the way - I don't think being fascinated by suicide is particularly strange. After all, it is very interesting how a person can be pushed to such desperate measures!
 
Do you think it's weird that I can sense people's true feelings for another through dreams but am completely apathetic about everything in this universe?

Not nesessarily. When you dream, your brain takes on a different sort of activity, and basically solves (and figures out in your case) situations and feelings you really can't do awake and ative.

So, no, it's not strange at all. rawr lucky

Except I have the strange notion that what the dream told me is wrong and he really DOES hate everybody...

Do you know what a Dhoulmagus is?
