how desensitized are you?

[noobsrevenge]

Any feels from this video? Normally I am pretty immune as probably a lot claim to be on this forum, yet, to me, this one touched me pretty good. D:

"I never met Amanda. I didn’t even follow her until it was too late. Which teaches me: Pay more attention.

I debated whether to make this video and debated more whether to post it. It’s not my story to tell, and I don’t know if Amanda would have wanted it told this way. But ultimately, I’ve chosen to publish it as a tribute to her, and a reminder to all of us: sometime, we will leave it behind.

I have attempted to find Amanda’s full name in order to contact her family to let them know about this project. I have been unable to find any further information. If you have any information on Amanda, please leave me a comment or contact me at zchamu at gmail.

I want to thank Amanda for sharing her story with us. I’m just the messenger."

Sorry, I dont live my life thru tweets. Certainly not other peoples tweets.

Shame about the girl though, assuming none of them was a lie.

 

[nickbits]

It's a sad story if true but it didn't make me feel anything. Could be they delivery since it was kinda annoying to watch.

 

[Alevian]

a little too desensitized unfortunately

 

[Azraele]

I can't imagine how she felt when she got that diagnosis.

 

[Alevian]

The video was still sad though, there used to be a thread called things that make you bawww or something that I read a while ago. Not on here but another forum.

This right here touched me.

alevian, thats good stuff, I would buy that poster. have any idea where?

 

[Exophase]

I'm numb most of the time but this did make me feel a little sad. :/

 

[roguerower]

Can't imagine getting that diagnosis. The main thought going through my head was: what would I do with 4 months to live?

I don't think the song did a lot of favors. The lyrics are meaningful enough, but it doesn't do anything for me when the singer sounds like they're trying to swallow their nose.

That hit me pretty hard.

 

[Printer Bandit]

damn allergies :'(

 

[lyssword]

reminds me of our forum member. Can't imagine how I would live if I knew I only had a month to live..

 

[Albatross]

Sounds like some BS sad story.

 

[Rakehellion]

I'm not watching a video that's a bunch of damned tweets. Next time, just link to the damned tweets.

 

[mikeford]

Did not watch, still happy and looking forward to breakfast.

 

[n7]

Sounds like some BS sad story.

You know her account is still up right?

If you read thru her tweets, it seems highly unlikely she tweeted for years prior just to troll people later.

Just doesn't make sense, though technically anything is possible.

Who gets paid after million views?

 

[Anubis]

100% desensitized I find it impossible to care for people or people's I have never met and will never meet

I'd like to think I was desensitized, but I am sitting here next to my little buddy of 14 years, getting ready for that last visit to the vet. I'm a wreck so no I am not going to click on that link.

Man that sucks. Sorry...

 

[Kadarin]

I was a little sad, but it was tempered by the fact that there were just under two minutes of inane tweets before she got to the diagnosis.

worst feeling ever. I wish there was some way to mitigate the pain from this. This kinda thing makes me literally incapable of doing anything for weeks.

 

[clamum]

Pretty terrible but I didn't cry or get sad or anything. I'm pretty desensitized, but I'm also extremely good at hiding my emotions.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Yeah...death happens to everyone.

I almost think it's sadder when parents die and leave kids/families behind.... To me, the sadness comes from those who weren't prepared for the departure and car accidents and safes made by the ACME company typically cause more fatalities than anything... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckGwu5TWuuM
