To stir up shit basically. No one really believes that aside from some deranged lunatics.

People who curl.

Don't, save the pile of 500$ and let it grow for a new rig all together. I'm in a very similar situation.

@Mageman: LMAO!! Wow, I'm not sure if you're trolling or not, but you're pretty much incorrect on everything...

@StingerMK2: I'm in my 20s. And I'm not sure your read my post - I hate losing friends, but I'm strangely fine when I do (obviously pointing towards my ever increasing lonership) but I'm unable to seem to change!

@CaLe: ABSOLUTELY!! See, that post made my night 100% more awesome. You're right - more time for stone skimming and fence jumping! I've always wanted to lie down for hours in a wheat field, or run through corn, or go around in a rowboat in a light autumn rain. : }

Actually, I think that I'm quite correct.

And you write bogus, how can you hate something if you are fine with it ? That is a pretty incoherent expression on your part. Take a list, write down what is wrong with you or rather what you think is wrong with you. Those will be the things you can compare to the actual things that are wrong with you, and that you will find out by asking your ''friends''. Then either you can improve those things or stay the way you are.

One thing I cannot stand about people is that I only ever seem to be speaking to their representative. They have this version of themselves that they show when other people are around. It's hardly entirely accurate and it just tires me putting up with them.

That's what everyone does, including you and me. I recommend reading about the 9 personality types of the enneagram. Everyone hides behind one or more of those.

When you realize people and yourself are like this because of the way you grew up and the influences you got during chidhood, you'll realize it's not their fault. Everyone's just been programmed, so to speak, to act this or that way. And yes, you can change it.

Personality tests are complete bogus and I would advise everyone to stay clear of them. Or take them and fall for this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect .

What universe would that be ? For me Pokemon is a no-brainer answer. I love just about everything about it.

Really? You love your Dad abandoning you as a child, and having your money stolen by your Mom who said she was "saving it for you"? Fuck that, I know that bitch didn't waste no 5,000 dollars on a berry. And let's not get me started on the doucebag who owns the bicycle shop selling bikes for a billion dollars.

Wait a minute, I didn't say I want to be Ash from the cartoon series. And mom saving money is completely optional. And who needs a bike when you can fly ? Who needs a bike when a 5lbs bird can carry you.

What universe would that be ? For me Pokemon is a no-brainer answer. I love just about everything about it.

Well it seems my blog posts about my failing social and love life are far more popular than my thoughts on gaming, so here's another wailing blog post. So really, if you're sick of them, not my fault. It's yours and the universe. So there. Nyah.

Let's begin with a statement. I am sick of socializing and not working the same way as other people. I'm different. I get that. I cannot change that. I know that. No matter what I try I am inexplicably drawn to screwing up my relationships, friendships, social life and life in general. It seems my time with a person in my life is limited to under 2 years. But in the case of the last few, it's been growing less and less. 1 year. 6 months. A month. What's worse is that even from childhood I've been instilled with the thought that I can rely only on myself and that the world isn't over if I lose a friend. So I push push and push people away to see if they come back. If they don't, then I've just fulfilled my life story.

I've also had the idea I'll die young. I treat everything like it's gone tomorrow. Not always a bad idea to live like you're dying, but when it comes to relationships and friendships, apparently people don't want to rush things. They just want to take it glacier-slow. And if you don't, you're needy. So imagine a guy wanting to be your best friend, and the cycle of doing lots of things together and then the pushing away/probing crammed into a month or two. It seems like an age for me. But apparently it's not.

And it looks crazy. I look weird. I look demented. But no matter what I do or how I try to "Not read too much into things" or let things flow naturally, I must push people away. It's like watching a bad horror movie. No matter how hard you try to hope it's different, you see the same cliches, the same plot twists and it's all over too short before the end.

So that's basically where I'm at with my "best friend". He ignores me when we're in a group and when I ask him to share stuff about himself (after he asked personal stuff about me) he doesn't. Either we're not as good friends as I thought and he doesn't trust me, or he doesn't think I'm one to give advice. And he'll only watch comedies! I love horrors. He doesn't. And yet I'll watch his type of movies to appease him, but he'll never budge to watch a horror, or even a thriller. Ever since this girl has turned up he's treated me weirdly.

So frankly, if this friendship falls through, I am done. Done. I'm sick of people not being willing to talk about problems, even if they're not important to them. Why is there this cliche of guys not wanting to talk about issues. I'm a gaddamn guy and I want to talk! I don't care if you never talk this much outside of "relationships"! Maybe that's why you are single and we're having issues!! I'm not even allowed to message him yet on Facebook without him first "collecting his thoughts". My mind has already thought up a million lines of what I'm thinking and he cannot reply.

So yeah. If this ends, I'm done. I'm sick of losing friends. I'm sick of losing friends over issues which I think are important, but easily conquered, and that THEY think are unimportant, but STILL too hard to stay friends over! Isn't that crazy?? Maybe I'm just a lone wolf and should stay that way. As someone said, the world is a toilet and people are all assh*les...

What a load of balls of course you can change.

I have a few very good friends and Id never ask them to share personal stuff, that is just rude in my opinion. And yes go ahead and blame other people for your own shortcomings, because you are too lazy to work on social skills. It's you who is the asshole and use some common sense, If you don't like a certain group of people then stop being around with them. I never liked anyone in my HS for example, I just went ''whatever'' ignored them and found different people to hang out with.

From the internet that is. Lately I have been toying with the idea of just saying ''no'' to the internet or rather to the computer in general for at least 1 week. Because If I'm honest I don't know If I would event last a week. There is something just so practical and addicting to the internet, it surely makes lives better but even water has adverse affects if you drink too much of it.

So have you ever tried to abstain from the internet or computer in general on purpose ? How long did you last ?

No

The same guy who voices Link in the Zelda games is the guy that voices Gordon Freeman. I shat bricks when I found that out.
