The Unhappy Thread

[Santa Claus]

I'm sorry to hear that young man! If I was aware of it earlier I would have delivered some medicine with your gifts. I can't really turn back without running out of time and missing Tahiti. Hope you feel well soon!

 

[TigerWoods]

alone at christmas eve... boring. My mom and my stepfather went to the casino thingy they go every friday or saturday. My bro is in his way to his girlfriend's house and my big bro is in USA and my father is a ****.


tomorrow to visit my grandmother, then my bro wants to visit my father so I have to do so even if he's an *** with me ( at the point of fleeing literally of me) like the other day he did and seeing my little sister get all she wants and my stepmother who is a *****...

my whine here

If it makes you feel better I'm alone as well. I spent the eve with my sister and her husband but they're off to England now.

Just me and the dog at home. Most of my best friends are away except two, who are spending Christmas together so I'd just be an awkward 3rd wheel if I asked to visit XD.

 

[RATED]

^Tigerwoods: so we are 2. Christmas became boring to me like some years ago. Now I hate the day, there's nothing to do, except visiting (obligated kinda) my father... see his "happy family" -____- and how he prefers my other brothers -____- .

My dad is always awesome with my bro, he even found him a nice job that pays good. My lil sis has everything, yet he ignores me, at least I always have my mom, grandmother and big bro who doesnt live with me "apoyo".

@BAD: No there really isn't, lol. Even if I did decide to go into the military, I'd have to deal with homelessness for a while while I lose weight, since I'm 50 pounds over my target weight.

@CK: I'm not in school atm. The one job I had was bad experience and not worth mentioning. To elaborate; I worked about 6 months at a car wash company in my area. I vacuumed seats. My first pay check, I was given a co-workers commission check for doing mechanical work, which the rest of the time of my employment was spent paying it off. Work started out fine; I worked effeciently, and my supervisors liked my attitude, but I got very sick. I started vomiting on a semi-regular basis. My parents wouldn't take me to a hospital since they thought I was just trying to play hooky. I was eventually fired due to too many sick leaves, still owing the company money. I tried to forge parental notes since my parents refused to cooperate, but it didn't matter in the end.

As for volunteer work, I've done a fair share of house and yard work, and helped with construction for my family, friends, and neighbors.

I don't have the best qualifications, but I have whats requires for fast food, labor, and entry-level work. The problem is that people just won't hire me. :\

@Teran XVII: I'm sick, too. In 2006 I had pneumonia on my birthday, too. My life sucks lol.

How do you dress when you go to interviews? Even for entry level work, you need to be presentable, but dressed appropriately for the job. For example, my boss was watching another manager interview someone and decided he didn't want him because of how he dressed (suit and tie for a manual labor job). The guy had MANY years of experience for the job and was quite good at the job, but his mind was set: he couldn't hang.

At Merkuri: Unemployment existed WAY before Obama, and usually, it's a bit more than that. Not a whole lot more, but I know it is more.

 

[Rubyiris]

For mostly everything: white button down, khaki pants, and black, oil-resistant, no-slip shoes.

Manual labor I'll dress in a plain collar T-Shirt, Jeans, and work boots.

shower, clean shave, combed hair, deodorant, cologne.

 

[Omnicron's Baklava Enterprises]

I wake up Christmas morning to find my dog has crapped in three places in the house.

lol

 

[Teran]

Kill the admin who made it snow in here!

 

[TigerWoods]

Snow is gay... It must be Xiivi.

 

[victra♥]

whoa cool! there should be snow everywhere! is it just in this thread? o.o

 

[BSP]

K, the snow is pretty cool.

My cousins dog got out last evening, and it bummed out everyone. They're looking for it now in their neighborhood, so I hope they can find him.

It's really hard to get anywhere without references. I got my job because my friend told the GM I was amazing. Do you have anyone that works anywhere that could help you?

So, we went to a Christmas party, and I realized how badly my wife's brother was raised.

He's 10 (a full 11 years younger than she is), but at the party, there were kids from 6 - 14. The 14-year-old got a PS3 for Christmas. My brother-in-law (technically) has always wanted to play my PS3, but I know better, and I never let him. When he finally got to play Sports Champion, he played so long that even the 6 year old got bored. He came down and asked his brother (the owner of it) how to turn it off. When the younger brother finally went to turn it off, the brother-in-law started shrieking that he wasn't done yet. Another kid said "You really are addicted to video games."

To show further, the kid's godmother got him presents. The first was a sweet nerf gatlin gun which he was totally uninterested in. The second was a nice Electronics Project kit for kids and I think he actually frowned while opening it; he expected video games.

His parents basically created a child that is incapable of functioning without video games. I had a conversation with an 11-year-old cousin, a 10-year-old cousin, and the previously mentioned 9-year-old kid at the party. All of them were at least capable of talking about something, but the brother-in-law cannot. He hasn't been diagnosed with anything severe, but I know he has something.

It's sad watching his parents ruin his life by not giving him any stability because they are such lazy and irresponsible people. It is the exact reason we decided never to have kids.

I would understand your complaint if the kid was 20. 10 year old's can't think properly. Yes, the parents are to blame if the kid has no other interests in life currently. I was the same way as a kid and I have a social life. I enjoy bodybuilding, can get laid, n' stuff. The kid is not ****ed up, he is just a kid.

I personally look forward to raising a kid. I just need to get my **** together first and find a hot women overseas.

Spare the rod, spoil the child!

Next time he wants to play your PS, punch him in the face.

 

[Rubyiris]

I don't understand how someone at the age of 10 has the patience to sit down for that long. Mostly everyone I knew, myself included could only sit down and play videogames for an hour TOPS before we'd get restless and go outside.

nerf guns, action figures, and super soakers were out bread and butter.

Anyways I don;t understand the justification because "he's 10, he can't think properly." I had common sense by age 10, definitely. I have two friends that were able to make more intelligent life decisions on their own at age 9 than the average person between the ages of 16 and 19.

Unless kids have gotten more stupid and unruly since the early-mid 90's, i don't understand how your statement could be true outside of the kid having something wrong with him.

 

[BAD]

He's 10......

What more of an explanation do you need? Boys at that age are not even interested in girls yet for the most part. Would you think the kid is ****ed up if he is not sexually attracted to girls even though he hasn't hit puberty yet?

It's the same thing with his mind. He hasn't mentally grown yet.

Mind you, I almost couldn't function without WoW back when I was 12.

But here I am and I'm largely fine.

10-year-olds are way more capable than you are giving credit for. As I said, I spoke to about 5 kids across the parties yesterday, who could talk casual, wouldn't lose their mind if declined video game time, and were quiet enough to understand "not now." Case in point, one 10-year-old got an alarm clock. He got it because he asked, whereas brother-in-law lost his mind when he didn't get one of the games he asked for (full weeping and tantrum throwing).

It goes beyond this too. He's 10-year-old and never had a sleepover at his house or others. His mom barely trusts us to take care of him, so he's always on that leash. He is incapable of going more than 12 hours without his parents (they use the excuse we can't give him his medicine properly; it's all labeled and that's how they give it). He's diagnosed as bipolar, among other things.

At restaurants or in public, it's 10 times worse. We went to Hibachi where we got soup before the meal. He was completely done his soup when they waiter took it. He claimed he wasn't done and really started a screaming tantrum over soup (this was about a year ago). After that, they served food with veggies, chef put it on his plate and he flipped out because he had veggies touching his plate where other food would be (he hates veggies to a crazy degree). So, we had to request a new plate. When he saw the food was cooked NEAR where the veggies were, he threw a tantrum. Again, this was over a year ago, when we went back, he recalled every incident as if it were yesterday (even saying "The soup thing happened again despite his bowl being completely empty).

What sucks is when we go places like this we see kids way younger than him or his age, able to act like human beings. For him, his parents taught him that apologizing means everything is okay, and as long as it wasn't your intention, you are absolved. So, when he started crying because his sister wouldn't buy him a $60 game for no reason, he kept saying he was sorry, and the tears kept coming on their own. When we told him to stop playing Wii the other day (because his eyes were crying involuntarily and were going bloodshot because he was playing for 3 and half hours or so straight), he wouldn't quit by going straight to the "quit" button, but kept saying "My hand keeps shaking and missing it, then, throwing a tantrum because we kept saying to just turn it off.

It's really hard to explain how much he ISN'T like a normal kid online. He has serious problems (once, he threatened to stab his parents with scissors, which they brushed off as "crying out for attention" despite the fact he was nearly expelled for it, and he visits a therapist for those issues), but his parents basically knowing it's all their fault (mixed in with severe psychological issues) ignore it and blame teachers for not paying attention.

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

Ugh. So there's this girl I like in the states, where I always go on vacation over and over again... I thought we had a good thing going for us; after all I left on good terms with her last time, and by good terms I mean "third base". And I really thought we had a thing. So... I get to her house to see her for the first time in a while, and she refuses to talk to me. It's kinda depressing; her brother also wants nothing to do with me. These people were my best friends. Their parents still love me, but they apparently want nothing to do with me...

 

[Luigitoilet]

CK, that kid sounds autistic.

 

[Crimson King]

@LT: my thoughts exactly. Particularly Asperger's, but it's impossible to tell his mom who already hates me this, and his psychiatrist is completely incompetent (gave him Prozac when he was 6 or 7 for ADHD, which they usually do, but those dose was more, and they had to restart the medicine).

Maybe she did have a thing for you, but because you don't live there, it was killing her? Also, maybe a boyfriend.

Hey as long as you don't kill yourself over it, you'll be fine.

 

[RATED]

CK, that kid sounds autistic.

That's different thing. Autistic kids have problem showing their emotions and that kid can't control them, therefore is not autism.

He's just spoiled and videogame adicted.

I have lived with a autistic person all my life and that's not autism. Why? Autistic people dislike having too much people or too much attention around, therefore if he's calling for attention... he is not.

maybe I am wrong, but that's from my point of view.

but there's a MAYBE when it comes to the videogame issue, since autistic people " live in their own world" most of the time. So that's a maybe.

 

[Crimson King]

When it comes to video games, I have dropped and broken glass, played loud music, etc. without him really battling an eye. When he's in pursuit of a video games, it's hard to shake him from that.

 

[Rubyiris]

sounds like hes just a spoiled problem child and possibly has bipolar disorder.

 

[S l o X]

unsatisfied. with what? i couldn't tell you. i feel like things have been boring lately and christmas was a temporary cure. school usually took my mind off of how boring my life is but now that we have like two weeks off i'm dwelling in nothing but boredom. i guess i'll just sit here reading my manga and waiting until i'm tired.

/rant?

If you're not satisfied with how you are atm, do something about it.

I sit at home majority of the day on breaks. I'm totally fine with it though, so I'm not going to rush to change it.

 

[Merkuri]

I preferred the ''something bothering you'' title. Unhappy kind of implies too much, not everything that bothers you makes you unhappy.

What's making me unhappy is that my mother isn't responding to my emails about faxing the documents over to the financial government. We need to fax those documents in order to pay for my previous semesters' tuition, and time in not on our side. I don't know why she isn't responding to me, it's really bothersome.

 

[Luigitoilet]

you don't have to preface every post with "what's bothering me is" or "what's making me unhappy is"

it's just a title. everyone knows what the thread is for, who cares.

The fact that Merkuri is a bad troll kinda makes me unhappy.
