Emotionally Damaged, He Runs Away from Relationships

Ask Papabear - Fri 15 Feb 2013 - 14:09
Dear Papabear,

I’m coming to you for an answer that I can’t quite answer myself. I wish I could say I had an awesome childhood (which I might have had but don’t remember much), but I mostly remember the painful memories that I endured. My dad cheated on my mom several times, but she forgave him and tried to make it work so we could keep our family together. During those times my dad would take me to his mistress's houses and then would threaten me of disownment if I ever spoke of them to my mother. Eventually they got divorced which was messy and somewhat set the path of an even more interesting childhood as we grew up constantly living with our dad or mom for a few years. The lies and tricks my dad pulled were horrible and have somewhat set influence in my life.

I feel nowadays that these memories have taken its toll on my life. I have fears of commitment, trust, and abandonment and because of that I have set up a defense that leaves me emotionless most of the time and hurts others around me. I created a trait of self-sabotage. Sometimes when I feel I get too close to someone, I get scared and I distance myself from them, sometimes I cut communication, I come up with excuses, I leave them for someone else, end a friendship, etc. I do it with as little emotion as possible. I feel this way I wont get hurt and that I wont have to ever deal with the possibilities of my fears, but because I do this, it hurts those iv become close to or friends around me.

My question is, how do I stop sabotaging myself so I can enjoy life the way its intended and stop hurting friends and loved ones around me?

Dear SpaceBear,

Parents are so key to our lives. They can nurture you and help you grow into a well-adjusted adult, or they can totally fruckerhump your brain and scar you emotionally for years to come. Your dad didn’t give you a very good example of how to be a loving and good human being.  Observing him as you grew up, you developed this sense of “this is how adults behave in relationships” and imposed that world view upon your own life.

What you need to remember are two things: 1) You are not your father, and 2) The past is the past. The only reason why you are having problems with your social relationships now is because you believe that your life will somehow mimic that of your parents. Furthermore, your self-esteem has been crushed. 

In order for you to regain control of your life, you need to acknowledge that you are in charge of your own decisions. What you are currently doing is allowing FEAR to control you. When you are afraid, when you are scared of things, you will inevitably make bad choices, as I have said before in other columns. And the only person you are hurting is yourself by doing this.

SpaceBear, do you want to be happy? Do you find that this strategy of yours of running away from relationships and being “emotionless” makes you happy? Bet you $100 right now it doesn’t make you happy, or else why write to me? 

You are confusing the relationship you had with your parents as being commensurate with a relationship with a potential mate. You need to divest yourself of this incorrect thinking. Yes, relationships can be hard sometimes, and there is no guarantee that you will find a mate who will always be by your side forevermore. However, if you run away from every possible chance you have at happiness, you are GUARANTEEING you will never be happy.

Because you no doubt have low self-esteem from the way your parents treated you, what you need to do is get that back. You can start with some meditation exercises. Find a quiet place to be with your own thoughts and, for at least 15 minutes a day, say, out loud, to yourself, “I deserve happiness. I am a good person. I deserve love. I deserve someone to love and someone who will love me back. I am worthy of being loved.” You don’t have to use those exact words, but something similar. You need to hear them, which is why I tell you to say them out loud. There might be times when those “little voices in your head” tell you otherwise. When they do, shout them down! Yell at them, “You are wrong! I am a good person! I deserve to be happy!” Keep yelling at them until they shut up.

SpaceBear, I know you personally (as a few of my readers might know) and I can tell you’re a good guy. Your father was wrong and cruel to threaten to disown you. You have a loving heart, and in our conversations you have repeatedly told me you want to help the furry community. Judging by your letter, other people have sensed this too, and they have approached you, but you have pushed them away.

By doing this, you might think you are protecting yourself, but you are not. You are hurting yourself. Like a person who is addicted to smoking and is damaging his health, at some point you have to stub out the cigarette and tell yourself to stop it. Self-doubt and self-criticism can become addictive, too. You’re used to it; it even feels good sometimes, doesn’t it? Like a relief. “I don’t have to get involved in a relationship because I am unworthy, so why put out the effort?” 

I have a feeling you know all of this already, don’t you? You just needed to hear it from someone else. Now that you’ve heard it, do something about it. Work on defeating that inner voice that brings you down, and the next time someone comes up to you and asks you on a date, tell them “Yes!” Or the next time you see someone cute that you like, resist every negative inclination in your body and go over to them and ask them out. Dive into that ocean, SpaceBear, and be renewed.

We Decided TO SHOP!

TigerTails Radio - Fri 15 Feb 2013 - 09:11

It's in its early days at the moment, but the TigerTails Apparel Store is now OPEN!  Look for the new Shopping! tab above.  If the store doesn't load straight away, give it a couple of refreshes - it's a bit like the Flash Players in that respect.

Of course, while we're doing this for the fans, we don't see why it couldn't also be BY the fans.  So, if you want to help us get some awesome things up in the store, then why not make some TigerTails Radio pictures and send them on to us.  Or if you've got shirt-caption ideas, or even if you're a whizz with graphics and want to send us a nice 'TigerTails Radio' logo-type thing - anything like that.  Send it all in, our email address is on the Contact Us page (no attachments larger than 9 meg please - send us a link instead).  

We only recieve a little bit of the price tag, so go crazy and max out those credit cards so we can afford to pay for things like bandwidth and server fees, and things like that!  More importantly, though, enjoy the store - and keep an eye on it for more products coming soon!

Just so you know, "Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time" is raccoon approved

Furry Reddit - Thu 14 Feb 2013 - 22:56

So the new sly game is out. There's been like, no advertising for this game at all, which is a shame because every it's obvious in almost every aspect of this game Sanzaru have poured their heart and soul into this game, and it shows. They had big shoes to fill leftover from Sucker Punch and boy do they fit nicely. But I am biased, as you can see.

I've seen it get really good reviews (1, 2) and also middling reviews (1, 2).

The common complaint from the lower score reviews is that the game doesn't do much to advance the formula. I kind of agree, with the game taking most of it's design choices from Sly 2: Open explorable worlds, getting to play as Murry, Bently, and other characters, searching for hidden bottles, and running treasure back to your hideout before time runs out. But I really think these executed very well, and the fantastic art, audio, a characterization just adds to it even more to elevate this game out from "just another platformer" land and IMO better than Sly 2 as well.

Each time period you visit (I think there's 5, I'm on the 4th one) has you meeting a new Cooper ancestor (who you get to play as and has their own unique abilities), getting you a new costume (which give Sly new abilities, letting him access secret areas in other time periods), and fighting new enemies and a boss. The Cooper's are characterized really well, and it's hard to pick a favorite. The bosses are also have some amusing backgrounds and quirks . Each level/chapter is presented as a cartoon "Sly And The Gang In...." which an extremely well done flash animation reminiscent of the animated intro. There's at least 3 of these per section which give background info on the boss and cooper relative of that era and are awesome to see.

Graphically the game is a treat as well. Character and level design are stuff I'd expect from a Dreamworks movie. There's so much attention to detail, from cave paintings depicting a story to showing how Rioichi Cooper invented sushi. Oh also, playing in 3D is awesome too.

The audio is great, the music is great (there's era appropriate music with the familiar sly theme snuck in real well), the dialogue is amusing but there were a few times I actually laughed out loud.

My only real complaints are I wish you got more missions with the ancestor coopers, if not just for more dialogue, because their special powers are pretty cool and it kinda sucks only getting to really use them in a couple missions. Also, fighting enemies is kinda meh. There is a bit of a method to using stuff like flash bombs or combos, but mostly you can just sneak up behind them and hit a special combo to instakill them. Which is nice but removes some of the challenge from the game. and there is this which I'm not sure what to make of.

Also sucky is that Sony dumped Sanzaru after publishing this, so unless Sucker Punch is back on the Sly IP, I don't forsee a sequel.

Also remember, this is a "cross buy" game, meaning you get the Vita version (which is identical, basically) in addition to the PS3 game both for $40.

If you want a game that reminds you why PS2 era platformers were so great, or if you have a stripy tail, then you should get this game.
