[QUOTE=cheetahben;39644343]I started smoking pot and drinking alcohol mainly as a means of desperation relating to wanting to fit in.[/QUOTE]
I personally think this is where you draw the line. When I was 14 almost turning 15, I started smoking pot with my cousin just to see what it's like because I wanted to fit in with some people. They did accept me, my weed-smelling clothes were basically a security token to hang out with them.
Regret every bit of that because I got into alcohol after that. I used alcohol and other methods as a way of dealing with depression. I stopped some time after last Christmas.
For the love of everything sane don't smoke weed and drink alcohol as a means of fitting in.
Fuck, I'm absolutely starving but I can't keep any food down.

I've always felt kinda short but whatever. As for drugs, I simply enjoy them once in a while. Started drinking with 14 once I found out that it was just another drink. I've never been black-out drunk in my life and I haven't thrown up once. It doesn't take much for me to get a little buzzed and that's enough for me. I don't see the point in getting any more boozed unless I'm really enjoying myself (which I rarely do). Most of the Time, I need it to find some sleep and to block out the horrible reality of how bleak and empty my life is.
Same thing with weed. Maybe once or twice a month, if I even have any around. I also don't see the point in getting high as fuck, I just enjoy cutting my mind loose, letting it wander away from all the meaningless bullshit everyday life dumps onto you. Strangely, none of these things are an acceptable way of treating problems for me. When I really need to do something or something really bugs me, it will simply persist through all the phases of drunk/high and ruin everything until I fix it.
The only thing I need to loose is my smoking habit. I don't smoke much, never on a weekday anyway. Somehow I can't even stand the smell on a regular day, but when I'm going out on the weekend I really enjoy it. weird.
5'11" and 176lbs, I'm doing my best to lose weight (lost 10 already this year) and try to get down to about 150-160.
I also don't like being as tall as I am, but I don't know if there's even a way to do something like becoming shorter.
I do enjoy a nice alcoholic drink from time to time, but just to appreciate the taste of it. I'm not one for getting shitfaced.

Isn't measuring how fat you are by your BMI kinda like measuring how smart you are by your IQ

It's more like measuring how smart you are by the weight of the trash in the nearest dumpster.
oh and all of that aside, i'm going out with family to the movies tonight I think, what are some good films out right now that aren't rated 18

It's incredibly inaccurate and essentially baseless. There's nothing it cane be compared to and holds no scholarly credibility.

i had to take an abbreviated IQ test a few months ago and it was the silliest thing
i don't even think i was given my results and if i was i don't remember but the actual test was so silly, i don't see how it can predict anything except for my ability to pass the 3rd grade which i already figured out years ago
[QUOTE=KorJax;39644040]I think all of us felt this way at least a little bit when growing up or later. It's simply impossible to shake the feeling of being different even if to you, you are totally like all your friends and honest to yourself on the outside. For me it was pretty hard, I remember wishing I was straight when I was younger because it would make things easier and I could be more happy.
The reality is being gay is no different than being straight, you just have a different pool of people to work with. Even if you could change yourself to be straight (you can't) you wouldn't profoundly start being more happy or satisfied with your self image. Liking your self image has only to do with how your percieve yourself and if you are achieving your goals in life (no matter how small or big). Being straight doesn't cure this feeling. Gay guys get it hard because we live in a world that fundamentally doesn't get us, which increases the intensity of such thoughts.
I will tell you though - once you truely begin to accept yourself for who you are and what is true to you, it is one of the most liberating feelings you can get. Gone are feelings of insecurity involving your sexuality, because you know what you want out of yourself. Gone is a feeling that you are constantly alone, because you make yourself open to the right people which gains you friends and relationships that are special to you (doesn't have to be with gay people either). I'm a gay guy who has no interest in women. I don't DEFINE my personality around being gay - most people think I'm straight until I say otherwise. But I like guys. I like the idea of being with a guy. I like the idea of being friends with people who have been through similar situations as me, but not necessarily exclusively friends with such people. Etc.
Being gay and accepting it is more liberating and character building in this day and age than being straight IMO. They don't know what they are missing out on. Plus you just feel a sense of deep understanding with other gay people because you know they've all had similar thoughts going on in their life at some point and that makes for a great place to start off new friendships that actually (maybe) will have meaning somewhere down the line. All of this without having to associate yourself with the "gay community" or "stereotype".[/QUOTE]
This is incredibly accurate, and if any of you guys are in a similiar boat that Fishy is in, i want you to realize this.
In gradeschool i had 2 crushes, both girls, but i never really gave it any thought. Even in highschool i had a bit of a crush on a girl. It wasn't until about the end of my 8th year i started to look more at men. I wasn't really into relationships at all until about a year ago but regardless i had spent every day since 9th year confused about my sexuality. I could not find myself sexually attracted at all to a woman, but there were a very very few i sort of had a crush on just non sexually.
So i started to have my gay tendencies and mindset around the end of 8th year/beginning of 9th year. I actually remember quite vivdly one night in bed when i was about 11 thinking about how it must suck to be gay, having to come out to parents and such, and i was glad i wasn't (i was conciously lying to myself at this point honestly). Hell i even remember one night absolutely forcing myself to masturbate to porn of a woman, after barely able to do it i went to bed incredibly happy thinking "OH THANK GOD". Once again, lying to myself. I kept trying to be something i wasn't.
I wasn't comfortable with being gay until literally about 2 years ago. From age 13-17 i kind of held in there thinking "well maybe it actually could just be a phase, who knows?". By the time i was 17 i was still confused about it all but realized after actually having a girlfriend it just absolutely wasn't for me. I didn't care to come out to friends then though, i'm actually still working on that. It wasn't until i started university this year i started to come out to friends that weren't online. Slowly but surely i'm getting there but i'm starting to really indulge in it. I can joke with them about it and it's not even awkward. I still have no plans to come to my parents anytime soon. Maybe to my siblings, i'm not sure yet.
Sometimes though i still think about how life would be simpler. I could easily get a girlfriend. Despite the fact that i'm scared to death to talk to anyone and try my best to stay invisibly mostly, i get a lot of girls hitting on me. I don't mean like just paying a compliment, i mean full on flirting with me. I've had two girlfriends before both i ended it with quickly because i just couldn't enjoy it. So i think maybe it really would be easier to just get with one of the many girls that flirt with me and try having a "normal" life. I know though that i just wouldn't be as happy as i could be. I can look at any aspect of my life and wonder if my life would be better or more simpler if i had just done THAT instead of THIS.
But finally accepting yourself seriously is the most liberating feeling ever, you don't have to worry about hiding any feelings from friends in fear of alienation, or worry that they might find out in a way you wouldn't want them too. So just hang in there guys.
I can't decide if I want to get a hair straightener or not maybe I should just get one and see what I look like.

Iq tests are not consistent at all and only measure very specific things. It's not a broad overview of intelligence as a whole and completely neglects a few subjects. According to an IQ test i could be below average intelligence as a whole because my language skills may be subpar yet my math skills fantastic. Despite being two different tests, the results would be combined. The way IQ tests are, my results would come back with a low number despite being amazing at mathematics. It condenses it all to a insignificant number.
Also there are no concrete ties that directly link high IQ results with success. It also has absolutely no bearing on your love life so the illegitimate child aspect is just completely irrelevant. If you read that in a study those are incredibly implied view points. From my research into this, IQ only has an effect individuals on a social and mental level. Usually both are also directly related to the individuals upbringing which again means it's inconclusive that it's IQ alone.
