The Unhappy Thread

[Cyn]

Anxiety is hitting me hard due to my presentation tomorrow...

If you're prepared I'm sure you'll rock that presentation.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I have quite literally done nothing the past 6 or 7 years but play smash and hang with smash friends that I kinda feel from time to time are just that, smash friends, along with sit and do nothing at home but wait for the next meetup and tournament.
This isn't living.

Feel like not going to skewl and the few messed up years during the past half decade that happened to me ruined my life somehow.
In terms of mental and education at least. GED honestly means jack **** to me when people try to say it's "impressive" and "better" than most people.
Still random moments I think if offing myself instead of smash as an escape would've been better.

Not even good at the game, I've wasted prolly 1k or so and only won back 60+

Sounds like you need a change. Anyone that has read any of my more "heartfelt" posts knows that I'm going to tell you that only you can change your direction in your life. As far as your "smash friends" go, I couldn't tell you either way if that were true. All I can say is that if they're any kind of decent friend they would support you in whatever change you want to make if it is a positive change.

As for the second part of your message, I don't think that is appropriate to speak on publically, but I'd be happy to be a sympathetic person if you want to message me. But please don't ever consider that an answer to your problems. It's NEVER the right path. I hope you are able to make positive changes in your life that bring you closer to attaining happiness. I'm serious though, if you need to vent, I'm more than happy to have a conversation with you and talk it out.

Be strong. I hope you have a good week.

So when one of my female co workers was on POF making fun of the guys emailing her...wow, in the first day of joining she has over 30 messages. Just seems so unfair how much more attention women get online, ugh. I wish I had that many suitors. Sure there are pervs in the mix but a lot of the emails she got seemed legitimate people...I've probably received less than 30 msgs in my 7 years online across multiple sites. Sure I've met women in person from online [and even more],but it took a TREMENDOUS amount of effort and countless rejections and messages unread from girls [Easily over 100+] to even get around...11 meets total in 7 years? And one [IMO, meh looking girl who put barely any work into her profile] gets 30 in a few hours? Just bugs me so much how much women are so overly craved online while men ALWAYS have to make the first move, women never ever ever have to. *Sigh* on the bright side, at least I know why I get shot down so much even if my messages I actually take effort to try and introduce myself properly. It's cause I have over a 100 different guys fighting for the same person...yet I am extremely lucky if even one girl messages me. This goes for any guy in general btw. Women just sit back and let the guys come to them. This applies at clubs and bars too of course. It just irks me...can you women come up to us, for once please? I will let people in on one thing though...go for the pictureless profiles. It may be risky not knowing what they look like, but they the only ones you will stand a chance of getting a reply from since they aren't swarmed by messages already. From experience...it actually pays off sometimes, I've met a decent looking women online who just hid their photos!Of course, it never really worked out...but at least I got to that step.

Just one minor rant. If I On another note, I'm trying to build up the courage to see my school's counselor and I'm almost read to do it. I have to take advantage of the free counseling that normally costs 1000s of dollars to have. Come on come on...I'm probably going to break down after talking for a bit, but I need that breakthrough. I'm so tired of always being sad. This thread is literally the only place I vent to, whether anyone cares to listen and respond or not. At least it's something. At least it helps. On a slightly more positive note, only need 27% to pass my bio course...I shouldn't mess that up, right?

A friend of mine actually discussed how women get a lot more replies than men on dating websites. He talked about how a female friend was bragging and didn't realize how much harder it is for men to find dates while men maybe get 10 requests for every 100 women get. I hope your search goes well.

 

[AnchorTea]

Whelp, I'm grounded because I play Smash Bros "too much" and it's a "stupid" game. Now I can get any practice in.

That's just life. Won't change anytime soon

 

[Yonder]

That's just life. Won't change anytime soon

But see, this is one of those factors that is unfair due to the social aspects behind it formulating it. Something that should be just life is that a women will never have a voice as deep as a man's, or they won't have as much upper body strength, etc. Men chasing after women is just because...it's how it pans out. I'd really like to know more in depth to greater detail as to how this tragedy happened and why it is. It just being life doesn't satisfy me as an answer, unfortunately, as it is not an inane biological aspect predetermined that men must always chase women. Men and women have equal testosterone and estrogen respectively. So what gives? Why can't women chase us for once? It's very frustrating.

It's just one of those things that has happened for so long, you know. It is definitely the norm. Most, but not all, men are more aggressive about finding women. I know it's not always the case (it is in my case) but women are not as aggressive as you. Another thing is that has been around since before memory is that women are expected to act a certain way. It's just the accepted way of things. Obviously, there are exceptions. Some women chase men. Would I? No I wouldn't. I might flirt. But out right make the first move or actively "hunt"? Never. A lot of it also has to do how we as women are labelled. I'm sure you are aware that women get labeled terrible things when doing the exact same thing as our male counterparts. Where it might be a positive label for a man, it becomes a dirty label for a woman with usually a socially derogatory term associated with it.

So as you said, certain things should be "that's just life". And unfortunately, this is still one of those things that falls under that title.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

It is all a social construct. That is how most of the "western world" acts. There are cultures where marriages are arranged, and there may be cultures where women make the move but I don't really have examples of that. Different cultures may have different norms when it comes to relationships or marriage. It's just that in our culture, dating and men doing the pursuing is more predominant because that's how we are taught.

I'm just standing over here with my anti-depression meds that make me suicidal and wondering how that works.

Also with asthma,eczema,a bad immune system,growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidsm and ADD, as well as atrophying muscles due to staying inside for so long due to my illness.

Thanks. My life is pretty great aside from failing school because of illnesses and not having any real social interaction in three years but-

Alright, my life kinda sucks but it could be worse.

I don't know what to do about my 5 year old niece anymore. She gives me literally no respect and I'm sick of it. I live with her along with her mother (my sister) and my parents. My niece talks to me like I'm a piece of trash and I get in trouble for it because my parents complain that I'm being "mean" to her when most of the time I'm not. They threaten to punish and ground me like I'm a child. I'm a 22 year old adult for crying out loud.

Today, she went to our neighbor's house to play with the kids that live there. My sister told me to get her and tell her to come home. So I did and my niece yelled at me and was like, "No! Stop it!" in front of their parents. That really humiliated me. She couldn't have been a good girl and just say "okay". She had to talk to me like I was a dog which in turn made me look bad. When we left their house I grabbed her by the arm and told her to not treat me that way. Sooooo that did not bode well and she kept telling me to "go away" whenever she saw me in the house. Of course my family blamed the whole situation on me. My sister told me I have no right to discipline her. I'm her aunt! I had my aunt and uncle discipline me before why is this any different? Whatever. I seriously don't know what to do. I can't move out because I don't have enough money. But believe me, if I did, I would move out in a heart beat.

She's five. Ignore her. Don't let a 5 year old run your life.

I guess but I'm not exactly letting her run my life.
And it's hard to ignore her when she lives with me.

 

[Deleted member 269706]

That awkward moment when the girl that you had the biggest crush on asks you to take her to prom, despite the fact that you already have a date and she (your crush) has a boyfriend...

 

[Cyn]

I'm just saying she's a child, she might be annoying, but you have to take the high ground and ignore her to the best of your ability.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Why doesn't she just go with her boyfriend?

 

[Cyn]

Better yet, try the old switcheroo.

 

[Deleted member 269706]

Why doesn't she just go with her boyfriend?

I think her boyfriend has been out of school for a while (I've never actually met the guy) and she graduated early (at semester), so she's not really a student anymore. I don't quite understand her thought process either tbh.

Sounds like she just wants to use you to go to prom. Not that wanting to go to prom is bad thin, but you already have a date for prom.

Yeah probably. Her and I kinda had a thing going on last semester, but it never really went anywhere (aside from one instance at Homecoming). I don't think I'm gonna go with her, but it's still weird, y'know? Feels like a test of the sorts.

Study hard for your next one.

Study hard for your next one.

That's what I'm planning on doing even though I have an exam next month.

I know what I'm going to expect when I get my result on Tuesday. But I am hoping that I can still prove to my teacher that I can do better despite my poor mark.

I'm just hoping the results on Tuesday will not knock me down and I'll continue to study hard.

I am 14 so i am currently in high school and while i don't have the best grades but this may be normal mybe because i am still learning for my GCSE'S.

 

[dezeray112]

@ BlueX - I don't usually get good grades/marks within some of my studies as well, but usually I do whatever I can to get myself a satisfactory mark as much as I can.

I do sometimes wish I had a better teacher, if I have to be very honest.

[dezeray112]

Well, its just that even though I don't think he is a bad teacher, I'm just not really too keen on his teaching method for some odd reason.

Well i hope good luck to you anyway!

@ BlueX - Once again, thanks and I'm going to need all the luck I can get and hopefully I will get the result I'm looking for.

Is it normal that it feels like everyone hates you?

Is it normal that it feels like most Smashboard users hate you?

Is it normal that it feels like the world is out to get you?

Is it normal to feel like the Smashboard Mod's and Senator's despise you?
