Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You forgot the frame where he starts talking about his problems and the frame after where he is told to stop trauma dumping.

Nah, see, the flaming skull is actually a good person and willing to lend an ear, despite not having any.

Dr.Noggingblaze, therapist.

True, Rarely anyone wantsnto actually know how you have been. Just a question to start a conversation like a greeting.

So I just default to "fine" or "it has to" (makes more sense in german).

Depending on how well I know the person I'll say something like "slowly going insane, but it's fine"

You're so visibly not okay that a flaming, disembodied skull is asking if you're okay.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly given all the shit I've been dealing with the past couple of weeks, yeah. If a disembodied flaming skull appeared at this point I'd just be like "sigh alright. What now?"

Bro, I didn't even realize it was you who posted this.

Also, same.

You have no idea how common this sentiment is lol I'm everywhere.

Sending hugs though buddy

Most of the Lemmy community cares for you, friend. That's gotta mean something.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say most lol I only post in the meme-y area, and even then that's specific. But it does mean something. Honored, all the time, when someone reacts with "Holy shit, Stamets!" stuff. Even more so if I'm just talking with them. There are a couple people I talk with on Discord that at first acted like I was a celebrity. I just post memes to distract from my own problems. The fact anyone cares is deeply deeply humbling. Trust me on that <3
