The Unhappy Thread

[ShroudedOne]

Anyone ever want a second chance at something?

Life always gives me a second chance and I blow it just as bad as the first. Even when prior to that I go on about wanting a second chance and not failing he next time.

I feel that way right now. It sucks...a lot...

 

[Strife]

I'm unhappy that this thread moves so slowly. I want to hear about other people's problems.

I hate missing somebody so much, wishing they were still in your life, and yet knowing that they're never going to be a part of your life again. That's how I've been feeling for the past 24 hours or so, to the extent that I was really distant last night with my friends and I could barely work up the motivation to take notes in class today.

I've felt that way before, really badly. Took me a long time to get a grip on the situation and accept that I ****ed up, and thankfully I got somewhat of a second chance and I was sure not to waste it. Couldn't change what I did the first time around, but if I'd never messed up like that I would never have come to the realizations I've had through the struggles I had. It probably sounds cliché, but the best thing you can do when you're in a situation like this is learn from the first chance. Even if you don't get a second chance and you can't fix what you did...by dwelling on it and waiting for a second chance that won't come, you're only dragging yourself down. You've got to come to terms with what happened and move forward such that it doesn't happen again.

If you get a second chance and you blow it, the same thing applies. Dwelling on your mistakes gets you nowhere. Getting a second chance is great, but dwelling on it when it won't come isn't helping anything.

I've decided to take a step back from one of my close friends. I care about her a lot, and she was really therefore me at a time when I really needed someone, but all in all she just isn't a good friend; and we're too incompatible to be very close. I hope that we'll always be friends, but I just won't try as hard to be good to her as I have been trying up till now.

She probably won't notice anyways.

Strife that's an interesting quote. Random question, are you a Protestant or Catholic?

I'm just curious, I'm not going to make a post on it and derail the thread, although that would make people 'unhappy'.

Thanks for pointing that out. I needed to read that again *Sigh*

I'm theist. But I don't identify myself with any religion. If I did identify with a religion then I'd identify myself as a Jehovah's Witness as my ex-girlfriend was a JW, and she'd I've been to and liked her church.

As for my friend. It sucks because she does like me a lot, and she does make an effort to talk to me. But she is just too immature and a bad friend, but even still I hate feeling like I'm pushing her away.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I desperately want to be held closely, and selfishly whine and complain and cry about all the things that anger me, sadden me, make me depressed...to confess ardently everything about my very being to someone, and be accepted, and be loved...

But there is no one that I could ever do that with...I guess I'll just watch MLP:FiM to dull tonight's pain.

 

[Strong Badam]

Wow... this thread is really depressing. *hugs to everyone*

 

[ShroudedOne]

Why thanks, Strong Bad.

I say ditch the b***.

No in all seriousness, I've found it's better to let go of a friend that's a source of frustration. I've done that with a few friends, and I've never regretted it.

Think of it like quitting a drug. When you first quit, it'll be hard because you crave it, but you know it's bad for you. If you persevere, you'll eventually lose the addiction, and will be a healthy man.

That really is a badass analogy. And you're right, there is nothing to feel bad about. I'm not abandoning her, I'm just giving her what she deserves and at the sametime doing what's best for me.

thx.

 

[Dre89]

You're welc.

I'm incredibly dissapointed in myself for not saying 'looks like you're in a bit of "strife"'.

Poor form, Dre, poor form.

Also, if you're a non religious theist, don't associate yourself with a religion just because you feel like you have to. I'm a non religious theist, and even though I was a devout Catholic for a year and know alot about the theology, I don't associate myself with Catholicism anymore.

I have a unique theism, which is somewhat of a deism, which I call Dreism lol.

I'm like the gangsta of philosophy.

I feel old. I suspect I'm not worth $20 an hour, so I've been working off the clock to compensate, but it's burning me out.

 

[Mota]

The old dilemma of exams coming up and having done absolute jack. CRAM!

 

[Mr.Freeman]

I'm starting to remember why I left this place.

Mods are asleep.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Care to be a part of the solution and bring your concerns to light or would you rather be useless and annoying and just throw passive aggressive jabs at us?

 

[Dre89]

Ironically his comment showed that the mods aren't asleep.

I'm with LT on this one, I have no idea what the point of that post was apart from perhaps a sense of superiority.

 

[1048576]

I've been trying to find the time to take a 15 minutes out of the way walk for a month. I drink 4 cups of coffee and 2 cups of espresso every day because sleep is a huge time sink. I finally lost it in a grocery store and 3 cops escorted me out. I need help, but nobody can help me.

 

[Pikaville]

TBH 1048576, in all the days I've seen your posts.

It seems like you just need a nice boyfriend.

I remember you saying ages ago that you don't really have anyone to share your problems/emotions with.

 

[Strife]

I tried shaving my hair today and it turns out that a lot of it was just too nappy for the shaver. I'd run the shaver across my head(which was a struggle) and almost no hair would fall out. Yet another disadvantage of being Black.

 

[StealthyGunnar]

So apparently my girlfriend isn't my girlfriend anymore.

She doesn't want to "label the relationship," rather "let's just see where this goes."

 

[frotaz37]

StealthyGunnar, that could mean 2 things:

1. She wants to **** other guys while keeping you around as a backup plan.

2. Something about you bugs her and she's going to try and change you with subtle passive aggressiveness instead of just being direct with you about it (like saying things such as "let's just see where this goes." instead of giving you an actual coherent reason).

Best way to deal with this situation is to pretend like you don't care what she does, or about her in general. That will probably get her back.

 

[Strife]

@stealthygunner: Well make sure she is still/starts sleeping with you before you keep spending money on her. Don't be a sucka!

I'm 100% sure it isn't the first reason.

Because she lives far away from me, I usually have to drive up to see her. Apparently I don't drive up to see her enough because she just told me that she feels "uncomfortable being in a relationship when we can't get to know each other in person."

 

[Steel]

you're too far away, **** it. it's probably #1

she wants to see other people, who live by her. break up with her and save yourself some dignity.

edit: does she live in wisconsin?

It depends on what your problems are. If they are external sufferings, such as deaths, domestice violence etc. then you can seek professional help.

If they're internal problems, as in problems going in your head, then what you need to do is find someone with a similar mind to yours. Chances are if you have internal problems your type of mind probably won't be very common, but there are people out there who have similar problems to you/ have a similar mind to you.

No, ****in Duluth.

Have a lot of homework, and the deadline is due tomorrow, and can't concentrate on it.
Also, I wanna study philosophy, but read the first and second meditations by Rene Descartes, and had so much difficulty understanding it. And those are considered the easiest to understand.

I'm unhappy that I won't be able to masturbate this week. I know it's for the best, but still....

congratulations on your vasectomy

No need to be an ******* man. If you don't have anything good to say about someone's problem then do you really need to say anything at all?

Generally people like that have problems too, the difference is they just don't realise it.

Huh? Why else would you have to not masturbate for a week? A vasectomy is pretty much the best assumption one could make about your post anyways. I might want kids someday myself but if I didn't, a vasectomy would be awesome. Raw doggin it err day.

Welcome to what has been the entire school quarter for me.

Playing 16 bit music makes concentrate immensely.

Today was pretty lame. Suffer from occasional migraines, probably due to a problem with my eyes constantly shaking called Nystagmus; and had one today which knocked me out until 3 hours ago, and gotta go to class in the morning when I'm not tired enough to sleep. sigh

 

[Deleted member]

I'm lucky enough to have never experienced a migraine. I can understand that that's gotta be pretty rough, since I've seen what my Mom has to deal with.

 

[1048576]

just read the last 2 posts, heh. Came on here to say my head has been screaming at me for the last 3 days. I can't sleep. I can't eat. It's awful. I tried abstaining from caffeine, painkillers, hot shower, cold shower, drinking water, the works. Today I tried an espresso shot. I'm out of ideas.
