i really like a fictional character so much it hurts and i have this friend who i make stories with with that character and she’s the only one who likes him as much, probably more than me. i don’t want to be that way.

        Yeh it was a joke I definitely wouldn’t recommend that ANYWHERE! It’s just that the original advice to which I was responding, while actually probably quite sound, had this funny kind of old man “you kids should get outside” kind of feel to it that I was riffing off and taking to extreme for fun. I hoped the “get your hair cut” part of it would make that a bit more obvious like a grumpy dad in the 60s telling the longhairs to get off their lawn. I probably didn’t do enough to make this obvious and now it’s coming across as sincere. Woops.
