I've been following the posts of this individual for a few weeks, prompting me to ask the question, what kind of person is he in real life? I think I've come up with a pretty solid theory that might define this being.
To first understand never, we must take a trip, back to the days of junior high/high school, during that critical phase in anyones' life, puberty.
First, we have the average student. Has several friends, perhaps more. Dates a few girls here and there. Excels in one or two things, whether it be academics, sports, music, person skills. Something he does well. Is this neverplayed? No.
Secondly, we have the bullies. The kids who want nothing more than to piss people off, get into fights. They are a product of bad homes, roid rage, hormones, or many other reasons. They push people down to feel better about themselves. Is this neverplayed? Close, but that would be giving him too much credit.
Well, maybe he is a jock then. They are athletic, usually popular, no problems with the opposite sex. But to the average student, the jock can be problematic. Jealousy is a big factor with jocks. This is most definately not neverplayed.
This next one is easy. The smart kids, the geeks. We all know quite simply this is definately not neverplayed.
So that brings me to the final category - the outcasts. In his case, he belonged to a group of kids that were abused by the bullies, jealous of the jocks, and academics were nowhere to be seen. Jack of no trades. They are the kids who get pushed around but either don't have the size to say anything back, or just lack the guts. These type of people are the ones who take crap year after year, day after day, and end up going insane and shooting everyone, or end up in a institution of some sort.
But something marvelous happened! The internet was invented, allowing these types to speak their mind, fight back. Now instead of getting one step closer to some sort of disaster, whether it be a shooting, insanity, or good ol fashioned suicide, he can vent to people he will never have to worry about fighting back. He can finally, finally feel like a real man, after all these years.
So this message is to everyone : keep talking to neverplayed, let him keep talking, it is probably all he has. You are saving a life.
