hey everyone

i've got a question to ask that i'm a little shy about asking off anon
so, let's just say that you've had bad experiences with things that are supernatural back home.

like abilities, phenomena, things like that?

but you're here now.
magic is abundant here. a lot of people have powers and crap like that.

so what i'm wondering is that...

for those of you who have abilities: how would you feel if someone close to you, like a friend? had problems with your powers? how would you ease them into that sort of thing?
or if someone told you outright that they had problems with the supernatural, how would you help them?

unrelated to that, i do have another question.
i think i'm the only one explicitly from my world? but i think there are some people that are from a city or country similar to it, and i think it's really interesting that there's actually people like that.
but for someone who's kind of anti-social, it makes it hard to make friends wwww
is there anybody else here that's in that boat? i'm kind of curious.

anyway, tyvm in advance!! _へ__(‾◡◝ )>

Me? I'd let them go. It's the people who don't have a problem with it who need their heads examined.

If I were just some run-of-the-mill mage... I'd probably tell them about my culture and lifestyle. Put the power in its context. Magic isn't an obscurity or aberration in a society of mages, and most who wield it don't experience it as a power that places them above anyone else, any more than a 20th century human from the developed countries would experience the ownership of a car as a transformational mastery of the people around them.

huh, that's an interesting take

although people not taking issue with it 100% might also be an issue too, i guess
that would probably interesting to hear about so they can learn
maybe it'd help

Who are you asking for, anyway? You made it sound like you're the one who has the issue, but you're asking for the other point of view.

i think it's good to get into the thinking of the other side
