What’s Behind the meaning of your username

[ssaaahmo]

it's the first letters of the names of the most important people in my life

 

[Weightoftheworld]

It's my favorite song, it's by Citizen Soldier.

 

[mediocre]

It's how I've always felt.

 

[PatheticGirl43]

Mine is from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" also I am pathetic.

 

[maru.]

Through out most of middle school, i was the fat ugly shy kid that had very few friends.
Suddently, during high school, for whatever reason i became a lot more extroverted, more popular, i even became class representative.
Those were the best years of my life, and the only time if felt like life was actively improving.

It was also the first time i started talking to girls more, not in a romantic way, since i was still fat and ugly, so they still didn't care.
Still, more friendly conversation at least, and they were friendly, they even gave me a nickname: "Maru".
Like, a middle name that was, idk, cute i guess, that indicated care and fondness, it made me feel loved by the people around me.

So yeah, that's why i used it here, the reason it's all lowercase tho, with a dot at the end, idk, it looks cuter and more fragile.
I was always tall and fat and large and stuff, and i hate it, it never matched how i felt tbh, i've always been weak and fragile, i wish i at least looked like it.
So yeah, if i can't look cute, small and fragile, also more feminine i guess, in real life, i can at least look like that here, with a user name that matches that.

 

[enjolras]

It's how I've always felt.

Ordinary people can be likeable. They're comforting, and not necessarily empty of inspirational power. I like you on the board

 

[meerpasta]

I was once put in a mental hospital by someone I opened up to online, since then I've been really paranoid about anything that could connect me to my real identity so I simply picked two unrelated words for the anonymity. But I really enjoy the personal usernames I see around here, makes it feel like a very real place to be talking about these topics in.

 

[im_tired]

mine's pretty self explanatory. It's how I always feel, how I've always felt ever since junior high.

 

[Epsilon0]

There are always new members joining, so it's nice to learn the meaning behind their usernames. Not at all boring or repetitive, op!

 

[onlyme]

I'm nothing special and nobody else

 

[HorribleFeelings1]

I'm nothing special and nobody else

The perspective of someone in their eyes is always important, you look in the mirror and see a worthless person, I see someone who has potential and power (:

 

[strand]

It's from a video game.

 

[GirlInBlue]

A singer i like goes by Girl in Red, so I just switched the color Red for Blue and voila! A username was born.

 

[Quarky00]

Well you tell me!
If you can explain Quarks , much appreciated.


Picture matches username, though :

Or , carbon:


We don't really have colours , these are fictional physical properties , and the gluons between us have anticolour (eg red and antigreen) , which is again not plain colour . We are not to be seen , only heard . We're up and down , charm and strange .

We are a weird bunch , the Quarks .

 

[RileyTanaka]

Riley is a nice gender neutral name I've always wanted for myself, as my real life name is highly feminine, ill-fitting, and cringy (I think). Tanaka is the surname of the main character Ben Tanaka, from Adrian Tomine's graphic novel Shortcomings.

 

[esoragoto]

The romanization of 絵空事, approximately meaning "fantasy" or "pipe dream" in Japanese. I think it has a very pretty "etymology" too: the individual characters approximately mean "painted sky things."

 

[DeathNoot]

It's me goofing off instead of being serious like I intended lol. I could probably make up some some deep nonsense meaning about the death of childhood if I wanted but nah. It just made me laugh a bit.

 

[X-Kid]

Just the name of a song from my favorite band

 

[RileyTanaka]

Just the name of a song from my favorite band

Which band?

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

I've worked very hard to heal and to become a person I like and respect, and so I consider myself a good person, based on what I value in people I consider good. But circumstances outside my control that will not improve but in fact worsen have led me to the unfortunate but rational conclusion to ctb. Therefore, I am a good person effed.

I've always been conscious, though, that calling myself a good person could set me up for flack. One moment of being an uninhibited jerk and it's, "GoodPersonMyAss!"

 

[WeekofWonder]

Nobody cares, but mine is from a 1970 Czech movie called Valerie a týden divů (Valerie and her Week of Wonders)

 

[Good4Nothing]

Just the way I've been feeling lately.
I wish I'd taken more time to think of something meaningful or clever, but oh well.

 

[SuiSqueeze92]

Goddamn this thread looks familiar! Lol maybe they'll like you more because you're not an asshole :)

 

[draw a circle]

It's the title of a song from an anime called hetalia. The full sentence is "draw a circle, that's the earth". It's not deep or meaningful at all I was just thinking for names I haven't used yet, and this came to mind lol

 

[Iwantoutrightnow]

self explanatory really. It was how I was feeling when I joined, I still want out but I know the importance of a better planned exit

 

[kaz]

It's quite simple, is the nickname of my favorite character in the metal gear franchise

 

[Aavemainen]

Means ghostly/spooky/eerie in my language, I've felt like a ghost for a long time now. Also partly inspired by the awesome song 'The Ghost' by Trevor Something.

They say you're gone when you die
But are you here when you're alive
Or is it a lie
You say it's real when it's fake
You say it's love when there's hate
Accept your fate there's no escape

I'm like a ghost
Just floating here
There's no one here
I'm like a ghost
Just floating here
There's no one here at all

 

[Realist101]

I try my best to be a realist, becuase I believe that is one of the most valuable characteristics a human can have. I also think that being rational and realistic is what leads so many to want to end their lives, even though we get called crazy for not loving life...

 

[niloc]

nothing interesting for me.. it's just my name reversed..

 

[sadghost]

My user is how I perceive myself - sad and invisible, kind of like a ghost. I'm just there. It feels like nobody sees my sad self.
