I'm feeling a bit down right now, so excuse me.....and no wise ass, or smart ass remarks from you JP. Lately it seems that the only thing I can do when i'm around people is either annoy them, piss them off, or both. Oh sure I have friends, as well as most of you here, but i've been lately getting the feeling that i'm doing nothing good for anyone besides being a bother and hinderance to them. I don't know what to do because in my psuedo-infinite wisdom everyone has been drifting away from me, and there is nothing I can do about it. Maybe my psyche is all screwed up right now, or maybe it's the depression trying to wield power over my brain again...I don't know. I'm just very confused right now, I don't expect any help from anyone anymore because when I have, no one helps me. So if you respond to this....then that's all the better. But if you don't, then i'll just sit here continuing to suffer not knowing what I can do to make myself better. _________________ There is limited intelligence in the galaxy, but the stupidity of the universe is infinite.

Everyone goes through what you just wrote. The only differences are to what extent, when in their life, and how many times it happens. Trust me, I've been there, multiple times.
However, let's look at something for a moment. You frequent this board. No one has a problem with you, no one is annoyed by you, no one hates you. Every time we write here, we are showing a bit of ourselves. Granted, it is never, nor can it ever be, the whole picture of a person. However, we get glimpses into the lives of our online comrades. The more open we are, the more we can understand you.
And you, lately, have been rather open.
And in that open-ness, I, for one, see a few things. I see a guy that cares about the world, that thinks a lot, and because of random-bad-events, has a messed up outlook on life. The last one takes time and effort and hard work and random-good-events to heal. So I can't help you there. However, we all have this feeling that "why do people hang around me? I don't really add much to the conversations . . . "
And that thought is just crap. I speak from experience, remember. And the odd paradox about that thought is it CAUSES you to not add anything to the conversation. I've been there, I know.
So, basically, the way to cheer up is to act cheery. Sounds crazy, I know. But everyone likes happy people. At which point you won't be annoying. And then you'll BE happy. Break the cycle. _________________ anime is teh s uck

Well I figured that in order for me to feel somewhat better, was to express my problems to anyone willing to listen, thus letting off some pressure from my otherwise not so bright experiences on life. And, for the most part, I wasn't directing those statements towards anyone on the board, but more towards my local friends. I just seem out of place when i'm with them. Oh sure we have similar hobbies, but I always feel like the odd man out, and that if I just sneaked away no one would notice or care. As for acting cheery, that would take a lot of work, and besides, if i'm happy that will just set up for an even greater fall if someone gets me depressed again. I just don't know what to do, and i'm saying that not because I ignored your post cp cause i read it over thoroughly. Oh and Bono I neither have the strength, reflexes, or endurance to last in ddr....that and the nearest working machine is an hour away. _________________ There is limited intelligence in the galaxy, but the stupidity of the universe is infinite.

Post subject: ...because only you can live your own life...
Why do you keep on living? Because only you can live your own life. It's a heavy-duty resposibility and a burden, this thing called existance. Make the most of it while you can, and don't sweat the small stuff.
There, now that I got the more general question out of the way, allow me to ask you a question: How old are you, and/or what grade are you in? (trust me, I'm not being facetious)
I'm not entirely sure, but aren't you still in highschool? I remember going through a somewhat painful process of my friends becoming more and more distant as we got closer toward graduation. It happens. We grow up, and those close friends and buddies start to develop lives outside of the imaginary confines of your friendships.
"It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of our lives like busboys in a restaurant."
-Stephen King, The Body
Don't worry, it's normal. That doesn't make it any less painful to realize that your friends don't need you around, but that doesn't mean that they still don't want you around. You'll feel like the odd-man-out for a while. It'll pass. Things will return to a state of normal, if you accept that some friends will leave, and that some friends will stay. You just need patience and understanding, and to extend that patience and understanding to others.
Oh, and one more thing, even though I may seem like a smart-ass, all of my posts in these "please give me advice" sort of threads are 100% serious. I add humor to make the message a little less painful and morbid. If you ungrateful little pr*cks don't want my advice, then you can f*** off, friend...

JP it always seems like you're in a bad mood ^_^. And as for the whole age/school thing i'm 18 and starting my first year at college. And if you say you add "humor" to your post then i'm not getting it. Maybe that's just the part of me that can be easily offended, but oh well. Hopefully that will help anyone worthy of wanting to help me...if that made any sense. _________________ There is limited intelligence in the galaxy, but the stupidity of the universe is infinite.

Helpful hint. Anything that JP writes that either seems offensive or has a swear in it has a 95% chance of being a joke. It's rather entertaining. _________________ anime is teh s uck

You can't argue with that. I tried that before, and for some unknown reason, it felt like Hell to me. _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

I seem to be going through the same thing as you, only not quite as far I guess. At some times I seem to not only not add to a conversation, but to detract from the conversation at the same time, but I just say "Oh well" and move on, I don't really beat myself up over it.

Actually, CP, a better form of advice for anyone reading my posts would probably be more like this: if I ever say anything offensive, it's because you're being a close-minded, hypocritical dip-sh*t who refuses to realize that you are a close-minded, hypocritical dip-sh*t. I play "Devil's Advocate" constantly in here, because a lot of times people whom I respond to in such a manner don't realize the absolute ass-clenchingly annoying way in which they set about their arguments, especially when they do not value the opinions of people who may disagree with their own opinion.
And if I swear in a post, it's because I know it's the only way I can hammer any sense into the brains of stupid little monkeys who otherwise won't pay attention to anything that has any quality intellectual, spiritual, or philosophical meaning to it. How do you get your message across to the average teenage mind? Add "fuck" randomly into your sentences, that usually works.
Form is f*cking emptiness, and emptiness is f*cking form, you f*ckin' tw@t...
there... now I'm feeling much better...
oh, and FDD, you may not get my jokes now, but give it a couple years... After you get some more college under your belt, then things will start to make sense.
Also realize that being away at college always changes things, and you will lose touch with some, if not most, of your friends, whether they're off at other colleges or jobs or not. People grow, and they often grow apart. It's sad, but it happens... Hopefully you'll be able to make new and interesting friends in college, so cheer up...
...you sad, sad f*cker...

What about all of us? If I had to list my reasons for living, they'd be:
Video Games
Anime
OC Remixes
DDR
Y'alls
My friends
To learn
Magic: The Gathering and Chess
To help mankind to better itself
The Legend of John Bono Smithy Satchmo
That's in no particualr order, by the way. _________________ This space left intentionally blank.

You try to be mean on the outside JP, but I know you're all warm and squooshy on the inside . . .
Seriously, I can't help but laugh when you put up that harsh front. I use 'front' for lack of a better word. I think your postsw have a unique character to them. Super fun reading.
And my reasons for living would be . . . numerous. But none of htem are video games or anime. I think a main one is chicks actually. I just can't give up on that. Ever. *Shrugs.* _________________ anime is teh s uck
