So I made a post about your opinions on Twin Peaks characters and a lot of people told me they hate Harold Smith (one of my favourite characters) so I'm now curious: Is It the weird/creepy aspects of the character or Is It his overall role in the story? (Keep in mind that I haven't watched FWWM yet)

I don't see a lot of discussions about his character and as a new Twin Peaks fan, I decided to use my unemployed student power to ask this question on Reddit because I find Harold's mind interesting, the end!

Edit: I'm NOT the type of person who likes characters because I morally agree with them, I'm interested in psychology so I love characters who make me reflect on different topics (such as Harold) and hate characters I see as bland. I'm specifying this because in this modern society a lot of people will assume I'm creepy just because I like a character .

I'm writing this post because I had a huge crashout today over something completely fucking idiotic.

I'm 19, and I have severe NPD traits. I don't know if I fully have the disorder yet, but after my three-month collapse, I'm starting to seriously suspect it. Today I reached a level of self-awareness where I realized I'm a walking contradiction, and I'm ruining my own chances of being remembered.

Not only do I spend more time daydreaming about fame than actually doing things (partly because I want to do too many things and don't know where to start, and partly because the possibility of failure makes my blood boil), but I also push away almost everyone who enters my life. At best, I reduce people to acquaintances I see once every couple of months because I'm never interested enough to build anything deeper.

The only long lasting connections I still have are with my family, my cousin, and my closest friend, but even with them I'm distant, and sometimes I just want to disappear from their Life because I can't stand them at all.

Today I realized that none of my other friends or relatives truly care about me anymore, because they spent years trying to build bonds with me and it never worked out. Now I'm terrified that nobody will cry at my funeral or carry on any kind of legacy after I'm gone.

I'm honestly becoming paranoid. I feel this desperate need to get famous as soon as possible so people will remember me. And if I fail, part of me thinks I'd be willing to orchestrate some dramatic death in my 40s just so people in my town could turn my story into some fairytale for their kids.

I know this post sounds delusional, and honestly, maybe it is. I even used alcohol to calm myself down after these thoughts, which I never do because I usually see it as pathetic.

I just want this fucking collapse to end. I can't handle these constant swings between feeling superior and feeling completely worthless anymore, It's always been like that but my moodswings were never this frequent.

Ciao, cercavo informazioni sul corso di fumetto triennale nella scuola internazionale di Comics a Roma ma non ho trovato nulla, per cui in caso ci fossero ex studenti che hanno finito il corso (soprattutto se da poco), fatemi sapere com'è stata la vostra esperienza.

Dovrei iscrivermi l'anno prossimo e sono indecisa tra il corso di fumetto e il nuovo corso ibrido comics Illustration and motion ma i costi sono altini, per cui vorrei sapere se vale come scuola.

Ho sentito poche opinioni al riguardo ma quelle che ho sentito sono state abbastanza positive anche per quanto riguarda l'aver trovato lavoro al termine del percorso, però su internet non si trova nulla se non persone che rimandano a server discord dove si parla dell'argomento (e io non ho Discord e mi rifiuto di averlo poiché non mi piace come funziona). Andrò all'open day di Maggio però ecco, se qualcuno ha qualche info in più, mi farebbe un grosso favore ...Poi avrei bisogno di chiarirmi un dubbio: sarà possibile preservare il mio stile all'accademia o spingeranno eccessivamente su Marvel/Bonelli?😭
