hm.... yeah, i hear what you're saying. but some of her complaints are of a social nature, and she said somewhere that she "says nothing" when she's with people.

im not trying to say "learn to hang out with the popular dipshits", and if that's what i conveyed, i apologize. what i meant to say (if i didn't say it correctly) is learn to navigate the popular dipshits, and whatever life throws at you. she's already extremely shy, and she won't learn anything by further contracting (sorry angella, i dont mean to put you in the spot, and i do think you're really cool).

goethe said something about talent being best formed in solitude but character best formed in society-- or something like that. the talents and the solitude she's got in spades, but she needs to come out of her shell for her talents to shine outwards. that's always a tough move.

i remember when i was 14 i was super shy and i knew something was wrong ,cos i was unable to do a lot of things other kids did. so i asked my mom to take me to a shrink, because i was having problems functioning socially. long story short, the guy gave me a placebo that filled me with the idea that i had self-confidence, which gave me the courage to face my fears (sort of like dumbo's magic feather?). soon enough i was a completely different person in my outward behavior, and that opened a lot of doors, etc. but anyway, i'm not trying to write an autobiography, just to explain what i mean here about people needing to come out of their shells.

so, hm. yeah. i just ate some flounder and it was GOOD.

Yeah, I've definitely been trying. And I've been in the mindset lately that the things I do won't matter a year from now (mainly just me fretting over a speech I wrote that is complete shit) so I should just get it done with and move on.

Yes, Angella do the things and move on. A healthy way is to laugh at your past mistakes, and learn from them. But also remember that one bad experience does not neccesarily mean it will always be like that. So you have to learn to differentiate which ones where bad for life, and which are okay to re-try.

!@#$%!- I think I know what you mean, I was an extrovert, and now that i am comfortable with myself I talk to people for no reason. It is just that I was shy, and that whole fiasco earlier this year, and so forth.

Just one thing, be careful to avoid posting your problems on an interweb forum... just saying...

Why is it that I have every reason to be incredibly depressed and want to kill myself but don't, and instead relish my meaningless trapped existence of being a young man with severe mental issues who doesn't have the desire to overcome his shortcomings because everything in the world has left him with a sour taste in his mouth?

Maybe it is just like everything else. I don't desire a girlfriend enough to get one. I don't desire to move out enough to do it. I don't desire to really make a go of music to do it. I don't desire eternal silence enough either.

*shrug*


Anyways. . . there is always something else to wait for or something else to do. You could kill yourself, but then you won't get a chance to listen to SY's next album or see them or again. And you won't be able to ever enjoy apple pie again. Or to masturbate again.

Apple pie is a great reason not to kill yourself.

Yeah life at the moment is kinda crap. School is a bunch of shit and all we get is fucking homework. Haven't had free time in ages.

Take a walk around places like this:





They might give you some inspiration.

Vagina! Cock! Cunt! Prick! Tits! Anus!

Help me Dr. Phil! You are my only hope. :rolleyes:

Ps: What a load of hogwash.

this place is the perfect distraction. hope you feel better soon.

I've nothing to add that won't sound patronising.

Basically, it's life. You gotta live with it.

The Cobain comment was half-sarcastic ..just part of my lame/sick humor. Eee.

Fair enough. I do like the phrase "Cobaining" though.

I feel yr pain.

people.....

*shudders*


don't deny the girl her simple pleasures.

Just focus on school work / what you are good at doing. Chill with the other stuff.

There seems to be, especially in college, almost this manic social pressure, that if you're not a piece of some Jungian Zune Monkey Mess then there's something wrong with you. This is not accurate. [aside: This is perpetrated by professors (possibly unconsciously) who benefit from uncomfortable students.]

Social navigation IS important, but it is not worth losing sleep over. If you excel with your passion and do good work, then people come to you and will be more willing to forgive an awkward phrase or social gaffe.

Also moderate internet, minimal television, more walking, and a box of dependent creatures or plants.

Stop whinging and get on with your own life. That might really help.
