Hey you, sad person! Come here, I'll help you out of that rut! - General

That was me trying to give an example of what they say, not something I would say.

Someone on facepunch commited suicide? SOMEONE GIVE ME A LINK.

[QUOTE=Goggles;26371540]She only "friendzoned" you because she cared for you. She's a slut, so she only connects with her true-to-the name boyfriends through sluttyiness. By putting you in the "Friend-zone" she placed you as a true friend, not just a hollow shell for social status. Don't think that she just used you and was only going out with you as an in-between time boyfriend, but think of it more as discovering a true friend through quick, small relationships that never last. In a way, she cares more for you than any boyfriend she'll have for awhile. As for the friends mocking you, they just don't know what's going on in the relationship between you two, and were only trying to instill their insecurity onto you - they couldn't believe that you had her, as they thought your personalities didn't match up, so they acted in such a way to prove themselves worth as much as you. Still, I need more info about your case if you need more help, but the basic is this: Talk to the other dude and ask how she's been reacting, and if she's been overly-whorish. She's only easy because she's afraid of connecting with people.[/QUOTE] People are actually taking this guy serious? Virtually everything this guy just said is complete bullshit. Girls "friend zone" guys because they aren't romantically interested in the guy, either because she just never liked him or he waited too long to make a move (most of the time, it's the latter). Christ, it's painful to read stuff like that. This kid has no idea what he's talking about.

No, he didn't actually do it. Apparently he came back a day or so later and told one of his Steam friends that his "brother walked in and he went to the hospital." It's pretty much what everybody expected/hoped would happen. You've always got to take shit like that seriously, and respond quickly and professionally on the off-chance that they're [i]not[/i] just fucking about, but for all the "time to Off myself" threads I've seen on various forums, nearly every one of them has ended up as "my brother/sister/dad/mum walked in. Whew! Close call, huh?"

Over the last few weeks I've lost the only friends I have, and the only social interaction I've had is with my sister and her girlfriend and some of their friends. But for some reason I feel perfectly ok with it. I've never felt so okay with being 'alone'. But this feels nice, not having to deal with peoples bullshit everyday. Is it ok to feel like this? Am I being selfish?

I don't know where to begin. My life has been spiraling out of control, at the same time I'm trying to help it. I can't get a girlfriend, and my dependency on living at home with the parents is not helping my current social issues. I have been told I am annoying. I had people just flat out ignore me, never tell me why. I always tell them if you got a problem, lets talk about it. They never do, I have a feeling I just might stubborn and irrational. I try to one-up my friends and family, even aquaintences and strangers.. just to feel like my life has some sort of value to it. I just wake up everyday to go back to working a worthless life, being blamed for shit that I never did. And I do nothing about it, I just don't feel the steam in me to keep going. I have been diagnosed with depression since I was 15, I am 24 now. It has been fueling my maniac mood swings, my anxiety, and my problems. I have been developing a drinking problem for the last few weeks, I have been smoking weed to hopefully resolve my anxiety and feel less empty about my life. Nothing really works, nothing never really worked in the first place. Its like I have no crediability to my name. No outside respect to what I do. Life feels like its just there to be a burden, a waste.. as if I was supposed to finish the job a awhile back. Can you make me feel better? Probably not.

I love you all if anyone cares <3

OP is almost exactly me, with the OCD and whatnot.

I cant go to you asshole im stuck in this rut remember?

There's this girl. We hang out sometimes and she knows I like to play football. So she'll hold it down for me to kick it, and every fucking time, she pulls it away and I fall on my ass. She always laughs at me, tormenting me and embarrassing me in front of my friends. I know I shouldn't trust her, but she always says that she wont do it. How can I stop being so trusting of people?

[QUOTE=Goggles;26352255]If it's too sensitive, feel free to PM me, I'll help with anything Well, I feel sad. So, I'm going to help other sad people, due to it - ironically- making me feel better. Thus, simply tell me one of your basic problems, and I'll make it a habit of helping you out. But first, here's my qualifications, and drawbacks: First off, I'm a freshman in High School, but am a little more unusual case than most. I have great memory, a strong sense of justice, a comfy life, and social ability. But, every single part of my life that I just stated has been skewed in some way. I have OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, which nearly forces me to work on mundane tasks for far too long, and, coupled with my intellect, causes 10-minute homework assignments to take 30-40. Not fun when it happens ALL THE TIME. My parent's were recently divorced, however I have seen it coming, and I'm pretty shy. Why am I telling you this? Because inspiration can be drawn from any source, and for me that spring of idealism lies in my ability, the humane ability, to overcome trouble. Although my description is mundane and ultimately belittles my problems, I have gone through situations where other have snapped. I have contemplated suicide - a long time ago - and have dealt with stress enough to cause a man to break. But, I'm still here, so let me help you to stay here, too. [/QUOTE] Compared to you my life is great, except for some home threatening financial issues, but I couldn't care less about them. Things is my life still gets me down. The reason? I don't appreciate it. My life is great but I am spoilt and cannot accept that and so I get down because I don't appreciate what I have.

He makes them happy with sweet lies. Potentially (although unlikely) this could lead to a boost of confidence by them and so they go forth and face their problem properly, potentially having seen through his lies, but known that they where for the best. All of this is purely hypothetical.

OP is a nice guy :3:

I want to buy OP a beer.

My parents got shot dead outside a theater by some homeless guy and now I live in a cave. I'm also afraid of bats.

I have the exact same problem as you, OP. What would happen if we cared for eachother? :science:

[QUOTE=Upgrade123;26415574]My parents got shot dead outside a theater by some homeless guy and now I live in a cave. I'm also afraid of bats.[/QUOTE] My friend was like that, then he fucked up half my face. At least I have my two-headed coin collection to keep me company.

Christ, it's painful to read stuff like that. This kid has no idea what he's talking about.[/QUOTE] This isn't a normal situation, if you had actually read what I was replying to. In a normal, "lolI<3you" relationship, what you said is absolutely true. But in a relationship with a volatile girl who's had a past of hurting people and being okay with that, friendzoning is something completely different. Of course, I could be wrong, and I'll stress this as much as possible. As I've said - its not like I've taken psychology classes nor studied "the science of love". This is all speculation, and basic logic, grief-survival tactics, and learning to believe in yourself. @slinkman You're not being selfish, you're taking a break. But be ready to leave that break if someone who truly cherishes you comes along. @Richard Simmons First off, cut the weed, cut the booze. Next, go out and find a better job. Make sure the preparations are complete before quitting you first one. Find one with that results in direct happiness for either yourself or others. Three, ask people you care for what's wrong with your personality, and if it's truly an unnatural, self-or-other-harming trait, fix it. As for the lack of willingness to work on things - discover something to keep you going, a purpose in life. Think about the reward or outcome of the event, and do things that you didn't even have to do - so long as someone benefits from it. Depression is a bitch, and you'll always have down days, but find a way to make your up-days the best. Asking people how you can fix your problems might not always work-out, as they may ignore or push you away, but you always need to be understanding. You have the potential to care for yourself, so exercise that. Find worth in yourself.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;26352364]This one time I went to the local stables to ride a horse. I'd never been on one before, and I thought it might be fun. I pay for my ride and the woman walks into the stables to fetch a horse. After about five minutes she comes out and says, "Sorry, you can't ride today. The horse is dead." I got a free riding ticket, but I didn't go back. Six or seven months afterwards, some big fat guy comes up to me and says, "I heard the horse you were trying to ride died." The comment kind of caught me off guard, because I usually don't make a habit of dwelling on dead horses, so I laughed and said, "Wait, what?" He grabbed my shoulder, gave it a squeeze, and said, "If you ever want to talk about it, man? I'm right here for you. Always." You remind me of that guy. [b]edit[/b] Let me clarify, because you seem confused: it was fucking weird, not supportive and friendly.[/QUOTE] Well with the condition they keep those stables in, I'm not very surprised. You really shouldn't go there. Dirty place.

I'd ask but I don't have 5 cents.

I'm failing school, I am an in extremely bad habit/cycle of not doing my homework and I can't help it. I just have no attention span at all, and I get bored of even the most important assignments. I am now in an extreme state of panic and I almost feel like my life has no meaning anymore. I don't have a girlfriend, I feel like my friends are cooler than me. Where the fuck has my life gone? What the hell is wrong with me? The only thing I am really good at is singing and the drums and I am too nervous and shy to try and join any bands or something. Sometimes I feel like I should kill myself, but that would make me a coward. I just can't find meaning in my life anymore and I don't know what I am going to do with myself. That helped a little bit, I am sort of in tears right now though, I dug myself into a deep hole and I don't think I will be able to get out.

[QUOTE=Neb;26419347]Sometimes I feel like I should kill myself, but that would make me a coward. I just can't find meaning in my life anymore and I don't know what I am going to do with myself.[/QUOTE] Don't kill yourself. If you're about to kill yourself, think for a moment: If you've got nothing to lose, you can do anything you want. Hitchhike across the country. A friend of mine did that after highschool, and now he's got a job (and a purpose) in Australia. Or get a job as a deckhand aboard a ship. Join the army, or join the French foreign legion and learn a new language. Just get out of where you are. Seeing the world will give you new perspectives and experience - at the very least, it'll make you thankful for what you had. If you're still stuck in highschool, tell your feelings to your teachers, or a guidance counselor - they are there to make the system work for you. At the very least, you can get put in easier classes if you're failing. Talk to your parents if you think it'll help (though it may not.) You've always got more options than you think.
