Binksy, you should get a job doing this. You're good at it.
I'm thinking of becoming a teacher/professor. I like helping people grow.

I like helping people as well which is why I'm in the medical field right now. Just 5 more months of schooling then I'm done and ready to get working.
Haha that's what I'm shooting for. My parents aren't the happiest about it but they somewhat support me.
I let myself get fat so now there's have body image issues that I've got to work out but I don't do anything about them because I keep telling myself I'm already screwed.
I don't have any follow through on anything either, so even if I made progress I'd more than likely give up. I also have a nasty tendency to get too attached to people, or do the exact opposite and scare them off. That's about it really, I don't have to much to gripe about.

Nice. If I ever need surgery for my pectus I'll go to you but hopefully I won't because that would suck. I would do something like that but my mind doesn't really work well in that field. Also, surgery and stuff makes me squeemish

I'm in the same boat with the whole body image thing. After I got injured and had to quit football (American) and let myself go. But I"m working on that.

My dad is a medical photographer. When I was three I watched open heart surgery on an infant, been fascinated since.

It's actually a lot easier to shed the fat than you think. If you want I can make a work out schedule of some sort for you. I promise it wouldn't take too much time from your day and if you give it a shot I think it could make you feel better by leaps and bounds.
Try not to look so down on yourself either. Enjoy your own company every once and awhile and take a chance to appreciate yourself once in awhile

That's amazing. Your dad sounds like a really interesting person
[QUOTE=Binsky;27284919]That's amazing. Your dad sounds like a really interesting person[/QUOTE]
Yeah he is. Saw him for the first time in 4 months on Christmas since he had to move to George for work, I live in California, and probably won't see him again for 5 more months. He pretty much made me who I am now.
Wow. He's a busy man. That's impressive how impressionable he is to you even if you don't see him often
Sometimes I'll read my old posts and wonder "what the fuck were you thinking that was a terrible post" but it'll have more agrees than dumbs and I'm okay with it again
thank you for setting the bar low Facepunch, I love you all
[QUOTE=Binsky;27285046]Wow. He's a busy man. That's impressive how impressionable he is to you even if you don't see him often[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the only way we even managed to have "bonding time" was at concerts or watching football, other than that he was either working or sleeping lol.
[QUOTE=Pascall;27283996]Eh, I always attract the wrong kind of guys. Or ones that I'm not interested in. Aside from one guy who, I hope knows who he is, the ones I've been drawing in recently aren't exactly.. uh.. classy? Or intelligent. Or socially capable at all.
That and I guess I've never been too comfortable with my personal appearance. I know I'm not horrifyingly ugly or anything, but sometimes I just feel less than attractive.[/QUOTE]
Well, you must be attractive if guys are following you. Everyone offers something. Even if less than favorable.

Ha I'm somewhat envious. My father and I are almost exact opposites. We still love each other, though, we just don't have very much bonding time.
My dad wanted sons but got my sister and I instead. Luckily we both have guyish traits. I'm into games, electronics and all the music he enjoys and my sister is into boxing and sports.
It's funny because my dad refuses to shell out money for anything clothes related, but will buy us anything as long as it's sports or electronics related.
Or Beatles related.
I killed JFK.
I guess I'll get something off my chest. This is something I wrote a couple days ago, and posted on my dA account. I sometimes share my stuff with Facepunch, but not too often. Anyways, here it goes..
[quote]These are the moments worth remembering. The ones where you thought everything went perfect, when in the end, it was just a flawed paradigm. Everything we do, we do for a reason, whether it be for us, or someone else. Yet some of us look back with no regrets, while some of us steep in it. It's an odd world we live in. The moments that define us, the ones that take our breath away, either in revelation, or realization, that what we did was done, either right or wrong. We look for help, from friends or from religion. We ask for help to find a way, to set ourselves on the right path, to right our wrongs, to revel in the good deeds we did with no reward, with no recognition, and with no outside influence. As a people, we are gods of ourselves. We make the choices we deem the best, but regret the worst. Everyday we walk into someone else's life, and we don't even know it. How we present ourselves is how we make our first entrance, and what we say is how we make our exit. We walk among each other, not knowing who's thinking what. We become paranoid for the same reason you do. We want acceptance. To be good enough for the person we try to impress the most, for those who matter the most to us. We never quite make out what we want, because our wants and needs constantly change. People who want a gun for protection, are ultimately saying that if need be, they'll take a life. People who drive a car, reenlist into danger, knowing every day people are killed by others' negligence. If every day is a gift, then every morning must be Christmas. If a moment can take your breath away, then it must be suffocating. That's not how most see it though. People who walk out their front door are making an attempt. For what, is their own reason. To us, those who walk amongst the crowd, we deem them with purpose. They're about to make their entrance, and we're about to make our exit.[/quote]
Tried to be nice and honest, didn't receive the response I was expecting. Meh.

Because you hope one day that you'll get the response you're asking for. We all do it, whether it's direct, or indirect.
Yeah, you're right.

Thanks for the offer, but it's really something I should do myself- both because it'll be good for me to start something from the beginning and stick with it, and because I hate feeling like I'm giving people work to do.

I mean really, is a "thanks" too hard to say? I mean this in general, not just who I'm speaking of.

You'd be surprised. My girlfriend, who was abused physically and mentally by her mother, waits for a thank you everyday, and it breaks my heart, because I think of the days gone by, and how disappointing it must be to not hear those two words.
People take things for granted these days.
I will say thanks to you though, because you hold out hope for things, while others are impatient, or have no hope at all.

I don't mind at all. And I already have pretty good knowledge about the human body and exercise. I think it would be silly not to share what i know with people and put it to practical use.

People have always taken the luxuries they have for granted. That's just life but you can always take time to slow down and appreciate things but if we were always focusing on how great we have it now then we couldn't focus on our problems that we need to fix to make things better

That's the problem though. A simple "thank you" is now a luxury. It should be common courtesy.

Well sorry to hear about what you're girlfriend had to go through.
My parents raised me to be pretty much thankful for everything and just say thanks since it's what most people want to hear when being kind to you. I use to volunteer at homeless shelters for disabled veterans from the US Armed Forces and those people are the most thankful people I have ever met. My heart broke when an former Marine who is now bound to a wheelchair said "bless your soul" to my younger brother who was helping me get his food and find a place at the table to eat, it was most sincere and nicest thing anyone has really said to him. I dunno maybe I'm a sap.
When people don't say thank you I get a bit annoyed or pissed depending on the situation.
[QUOTE=Identity;27285634]That's the problem though. A simple "thank you" is now a luxury. It should be common courtesy.[/QUOTE]
I guess that more depends on the individual's experience. I hear "thank you" a fair amount and I try to thank people that have done something courteous
I tend to thank people all the time, hell I even thank my parents after every meal of food.
I try to say thank you when I can, but where I'm from, nobody says thank you. Sure, you get the typical "manners" speech when growing up, but common courtesy isn't a thing around here. Or at least isn't a thing for me. No one ever thanked me for putting forth the effort to do things for other people when I was in high school. Not that I worked for a thank you, but it would have been nice.
I guess that's the only reason I kind of forget sometimes. People never thanked me so I find it hard to thank other people.
