I'm the same way. If someone's feeling like shit, I jump on all of that. I don't know. People say I have a gift. People open to me, but I never force them to. Comfort is a very important factor when it comes to talking to people. Comfort and trust. They need to know that what they're saying is something they don't have to say if they don't want to. And that if it something they want to say, that it won't leave the confides of the friendship being made between them and you.
But you need to remember that you can't help them if you can't help yourself. Stress is a very, very big factor in being able to keep in control and keeping them in control.

Being a sufferer of anxiety, I know all too well of the hell that it can cause, including depression. Depression has been in my life for a long time, too. Xero tends to be my escape from reality, although only temporary, which is fine. Still, it lets me let go of hate and fury. Just lets me delve into a world innocence and childish antics.

I don't particularly see many kids myself. I'm not actually that good with them, which is ironic since I DO know how to handle them, haha. But the people in this neighborhood... Oh, they're very jumpy about people being near their kids. But it's not really a surprise considering the laws we have on paedophiles here. It's sickening, really.

Small life events are fun. When I was a kid, my grandparents used to take me down to this pier, too, and we'd all have a picnic and stuff like that. My grandfather passed away nearly a couple of years ago, and when I went down there for his funeral in the first time in seven years, I found out that some sloth assholes had burned the pier down for a laugh or something like that. It's quite sad, really, but I'll always have the memories, and that's what counts.

When I first joined the site, I came for the pictures. Funnily enough, not the pornographic ones. I used the cutesy pictures as a way to tap into my inner child and feel all good and giggly... and, well, for a better term, subby, which is the word I use when I'm feeling 'Xero-like'. Although I don't RP in the forums... Or at least, not often. I'm more of a chat roleplayer.

A good conversation always has a story. ^^

Wow that's... That's kinda deep... I'm the type of guy who wants people to feel better, so when I can I often try to talk and try to get through to them when I can, some of them are the hardest to talk to and get through, I know this one guy who I met through gaming that loved this small game series but the third game ruined it for them and they also have fits of rage with it, it's gotten to the point where they can't stop thinking about the game or themselves and they get depressed, they said it's because they have anxiety and find it hard to control... It's hard to talk with them and I know I can always walk away but I feel I got this far and I continue going on...

Also... I'm not around too much kids outside of family, so I don't see it much except online around others... Except my girlfriend who babysits these two kids who call her mommy now, last Fourth of July, I was invited and she brought her kids, they don't seem to like me that much but I always try to get them to... And soon they kinda seem to like me better, they don't mind being around me and start calling me daddy like how they call my girlfriend mommy. While she was feeling sick, I had to watch the kids and I made sure they were ok on the pier of my girlfriends house where we watched fireworks. I was always careful to make sure they didn't fall in the water. One thing that happened is that one of the girls was laying down with mommy and they felt something, it was a bug and she gets up and screams. I helped her by hugging her, calling her down, and killing that bug. It felt good to know I helped her calm down...

I don't know if they still like me that much, as much as mommy who spends more time with them, but it felt nice to know I can make them feel better and such.

Ha, funny, most of the time I come to this site for the RPs, and most are sexual too... Now I just gave a small life event here... Odd hah?

What do you think?

Yeah... I know the feeling. In real life, I'm not much of a sub, really (Except around Zinnia). A child's smile is enough to push me through any kind of hell. Children... Well, my feelings regarding them is one of the things that push me forward.

... And I just realized that sounds a bit creepy. What I mean by that is that the way I view children is that they hold the innocence that keeps the world pure. Young kids, especially, don't tend to understand what hate is very much. Hate is not something we're born with, after all - it's something we're taught. Part of that lives in me, and is also a part of my character, where the name comes from, Xero Zeikasinri. He's very, very young, although admittedly, he knows hate, and he knows pain. He has a few abandonment issues because he's an orphan, but much of his dark history is what makes him who he is. Although he is hurt, and he struggles to trust, there is an unfathomable amount of love in his heart... As there is in mine.
I would sooner die for a child than let them see harm.

I think your profile looks good. ^^ I like the sound of it, myself.

Well I'm not much of a baby and want to work with them, seeing them happy makes me happy, you know that feeling?

... Admitly there is also an adult side to me, I put info in it on my profile page, you think that looks good?

Cheeky >:3 But you should do what makes you happy. ^^ Personally, I'm more of a baby -w- Although I have been known to play the daddy/big brother figure.

Well I do feel I'm more of a daddy figure then a baby. I can make work around and do whatever makes the baby happy, you could say I make some alterations.

Didn't know you were a caregiver, haha, but I'll change it right now.

Oh ok, I saw the faq ad thought I didn't have a good enough reason...

Anyway, I wanted to go with AlternateCaregiver .

You can change your username. ^^ What did you want?

Hey excuse me xero, I was wondering if I could change my username, I have this new one I'm using for deviantaet that I wish to use here too...

I know this isn't a big or good reason, but I'm curious if it'll be ok if not, I'll accept no if you don't want to allow it or not...
