You're a better man than I, dark light. If I'm in a minority of people in a conversation on a dull topic, I'll inconspicuously leave 9 times out of 10.

I don't really understand the point of that under handed remark Seith. I already acknowledged it was a flaw.

This is going to sound odd, but how do I deal with school? Not the learning part, I actually like doing that. I mean all the people that are there. I try to socialize and I even have a little circle of friends, but I don't really have anything in common with any of them, nor are they good company. I usually just stand around in the classroom during recess and think about various sorts of crap. I have some friends who only want to talk about that ONE game EVERY SINGLE DAY, or sometimes beer. Some other 'friends' are out right immature assholes who take a stab at me every opportunity they get. I don't call them my friends, but they just kinda call themselves that and everyone assumes I agree. Then theres that guy who keeps reminding me how gay AND black people are going to make the world end this year or some other bullshit. The racist religious homophobe guy. I can't even seem to find people who I want to be friends with. Not only at school, but anywhere. I tried going outside, walking around, but it's as if I'm the only person outside all the time. So instead I just lock myself in my room, sometimes confiding in my online buddies who all seem to be much better people than those I know IRL, which makes sense since I only chat to people who are at least the tiniest bit like me. I wanna find friends and I don't know how. I wanna talk to different people, but I can't find any who want to talk to me.

[QUOTE=Seith;35526815]You already acknowledged it was a flaw?? Change it then.[/QUOTE] its such an incredibly minor flaw that theres no reason to even bother changing it unless you can't live with the fact that you aren't perfect
yea really besides i can't be assed to be interested in the minutiae of everyone's daily life and hobbies.
[QUOTE=GoldenGnome;35529123]yea really besides i can't be assed to be interested in the minutiae of everyone's daily life and hobbies.[/QUOTE] nobody really cares about the minutiae of anyone's lives it's just part of conversation, get over it

How is college life? I'm 18 and have never had a girlfriend or any some casual girl friends in my life. Graduating in a month and I hope to meet some one special in community college, as well as some friends. I sure am a mess.
nothing will change if you don't change yourself. college doesn't magically change your situation, it's just an opportunity to change yourself.
[QUOTE=Seith;35526671]You are such a badass.[/QUOTE] that was so incredibly stupid to say like, maybe if he was actually trying to sound cool. but it wasnt even close. lower your head for a while now
college is only different because people won't make it a point to judge you you still have to put forth effort for good things to happen
[QUOTE=lil_n00blett;35530152]that was so incredibly stupid to say like, maybe if he was actually trying to sound cool. but it wasnt even close. lower your head for a while now[/QUOTE] Fuck off back to boot camp. Protocol when did people make it a point to judge you in school 16/18? Was there some sort of brain process / mentality I missed out on?
Last year, my dad brought home two unattractive older women from a bar. My friends were all there to witness it. I was disappointed in him, considering the quality of the stumbling, ill-spoken, droopy cougar women he brought home, but he looked me in the eye and said, "son, a man's gotta eat." I learned a valuable lesson that day. I'm not sure about what, exactly, but I definitely took [I]something[/I] out of it.
that's weird. i mean just the fact that you have such a strong interest in "the quality" of the women he brings home. do you also watch him have sex and rate him on his performance?
Yes, certainly.
[QUOTE=thisispain;35530145]nothing will change if you don't change yourself. college doesn't magically change your situation, it's just an opportunity to change yourself.[/QUOTE] it is a hell of an opportunity though
Why is that weird! They were droopy old bar flies. It was a look at an unpleasant side of things that I hadn't considered. Nobody wants to think of their dad as some unscrupulous old hornbeast! Dads are supposed to be professorly and principled.

[QUOTE=Godline;35530357]Protocol when did people make it a point to judge you in school 16/18? Was there some sort of brain process / mentality I missed out on?[/QUOTE] Well, my high school was in a suburb and my university is a relatively inexpensive one, so I went from being grouped around a bunch of spoiled kids to being grouped with people who share the same goal I do - getting a piece of paper. So I had obnoxious cliques of white girls with iPhones in high school, and people were far more judgmental. Maybe cause I was a socially awkward fuckwit in my underclassmen years, but still. People are much more tolerant in college.
My mom bailed on me, but I think I'd still understand why somebody might be uncomfortable with the knowledge that his mom tag teams sweaty, misshapen truckers.
