Hi, Niichan, Makochin!
Long-time listener, first-time caller.
I was wondering if either of you had any advice for those times late at night when you can't fall asleep, or you can't get back to sleep. And you're feeling really lonely and sad, but also like the fact that you're sad means you're being extremely ungrateful for all the good things you do have. And you're also lowkey... not RESENTFUL, but kind of envious of some of the other people in your life? Even though you know the fact that you wish you had what they do doesn't mean they're wrong NOT to want it, or to not have particularly strong feelings one way or the other about it. Plus, you know it's not like your life is so much worse than theirs to begin with, or probably any worse at all. And actually, not just theirs, but anyone's, really. And the problem (if you did have a real problem, which honestly, you don't) maybe halfway comes down to the fact that you're unable to ask anyone to care about you, partially out of cowardice (because they might decide they'd rather not, or also because they might just pity you) and maybe the rest because of a martyr complex, and halfway to the fact that you just don't have that special unknowable quality that would make others WANT to care. Like, either because you were born without it, or because for whatever reason you didn't learn it when you were supposed to. And then from there you start wondering whether you'll ever truly be loved by anyone, but maybe more importantly, whether you'd even deserve it.

Anyway, what I usually do when that happens is get a little high and watch an episode of Our Planet vol. 2. But I'm almost finished with the series, so my question is, what are some other good documentaries that are on Netflix right now?

Hello there!

Whenever I have those nights I either play a puzzle game, a mobage game, or any game where I don't have to do a lot of work in playing it. It normally helps calm my mind down enough that I can sleep. If that doesn't work, you can always write down all the good things that's happened so far. It's hard to do when your mind is telling you one thing, but it does help. I started to keep a journal so on those nights when I can't sleep or I sit up thinking why do people want to talk to me I can list the reasons on why it happens. Another piece of advice I can give is talk to someone! I know it's hard. It took me awhile for me to be comfortable to talk to people, but there are some people who will listen to you at any time of night. Or the morning or whenever you can, letting someone know about these thoughts can help you realize that there are others out there that does care. It may not feel like it with everything else coming at you, though I can tell you there are people that care. They care a lot!

It's hard to get rid of those feelings. It's something that won't happen over night. I do know that the same people you feel a little envious over, probably has something about your life that they want too, even if they don't say it. I'm sure you have a lot of great things happening in your life, focusing on that will help.

Now about love, you are deserving of it! Everyone is deserving of love! That's something I believe in. It may not happen today or tomorrow, but it will happen! It's scary to put yourself out there. When it happens you'll be able to find the right person for you. The most important part is not to lose hope! It's scary to go out there, to let people see who you are, when you do you'll get to meet more people and experience more things. You don't have to take any large moves yet. The important part is to go at your pace. That one little step will help you take some bigger ones!

Hmm, I like looking at documentaries about how things are made. Have you found those yet? Some of those baking shows can be calming too.

[ He's surprised to get a text response, though he supposes the message was probably too long and weird to read on the air...
Actually, he's a bit surprised to get a response at all, and he especially didn't expect it to be so thorough.
It's a little too much, and a little too kind, to answer all at once (though in a situation like this, is he supposed to answer at all?)...
but there is one part of it that demands an immediate reaction. ]

Baking shows!!!
That's perfect!
Thank you!

[Well, it's actually pretty personal that he didn't know if it would be alright to read on the air. Of course Makoto would answer, that's why he's here! Still what he read does worries him a little. Well, he can try to help him!]

You're welcome! I love watching those shows when I need to take some time to relax!

[Makoto read the message again, he couldn't let it go without sending Jamie something, though he sends it through the radio's stations private messenger

Hi! Mako-chin here! Sorry for not putting the message on the air, but it felt really personal. I didn't know if you wanted everyone to hear it, so I responded by text. If you need some help with anything I can ask my co-host. He's really good at finding different sources for everything, especially with things that can make you feel good. Let me know! We're here to help~

[floret]

Oh, lol!
That's very considerate of you! I put the pseudonym just in case, but maybe people would have been able to tell... idk
Umm
I'm curious about "sources" for "things that can make you feel good"
