I has a sad

[TridenT]

Stop calling. You've left your message- she knows you want to talk...don't be desperate...or at least don't act like it.

And there are plenty of cute girls @ UW.

If there are then there are not any in any of the clubs or classes I've been in. :|

Nah, I've dealt with his bullshit plenty. I just don't think it's ever ok, under any circumstances, even as a joke, to encourage someone towards giving up on life.

I don't recall telling him to give up on life. It doesn't mean one can't tire of hearing the same shit over and over, seeing a handful of people TRY and help, only to see him do his TridenT thing over and over.

He throws his pity party, and spits in the punch of people trying to help him. It's the same crap, over and over and over. It's like getting stuck inside a television drama for teenage girls - an endless stream of vapid, pointless "problems" that are completely blown out of proportion as if it's the end of the world and that are the primary product of the main character being an idiot and never learning from their mistakes or setting unrealistic expectations.

I just think he either needs to 1) man up, get some perspective and stop acting like a teenage girl, 2) take some of the decent advice given, or 3) stop posting about them entirely. It's time for him to grow up.

fucking man up bitch. have a sad when something real happens.

Can we get an update on the kitchen situation? Did you get another end table or not?

Classic case of depression, actually it sounds like a pretty bad case, but obviously you have a lot of strength so you can get through this, absolutely. Don't believe for a second that their aren't honest people, you have been contemplating this, but it isn't true, and you will find that out eventually, accept it deeply, although there may be none in your life right now. In my experience disillusionment with a girlfriend is about the worst, runner up being getting fired.

If nothing else works, I suggest thinking about moving, pulling up roots and going somewhere else. You're a dancer, how about New York? Or San Francisco? There should be lots of places. I know, you probably don't want to think about something so hard now, and probably you shouldn't but down the line it's a possibility.

I went to a Richie Havens concert in 1973 (I think) and he said something on stage I've never forgotten, he just said it kind of out of the blue: "People think it's easy to give up, but it is not. It's very hard to give up." You haven't given up, far from it. You say the rational part of you says you should give up. Maybe there are some things you should give up on, or rather some attitude adjustments are in order, but giving up on life and yourself isn't an option. I'm big on aphorisms and one of my favorites from William Blake is this: "The soul of sweet delight can never be defiled."

Maybe the OP just needs to take up target practice. Nothing like shooting a few rounds to lift the spirits...

When I was reading that thread I knew i going to come across someone giving Trident a gun in their post. Looks like I have at least two so far.

I know you think you're being humorous. Trouble is, you're not.

Why don't you just stay out of these threads if that's the sort of message you want to impart.

Seriously Trident? Go fuck yourself and stop being an attention whore.

 

[Muse]

Trident, you're what, 20? I'm not much older than you. I don't have a ton of experience dating either, but right now it's not something that worries me. Would I like a girlfriend? Yeah sure, it'd be nice, but I right now I'm young, single, have a job, and just want to have fun. I don't stress/worry because I know being happy with myself will lead me onto being happy with another person. Once you focus on other things (school for you, in my case my job), things will get better. It takes time, but you will grow.

We have a lot to look forward to in life, and things WILL fall into place, though it may not seem like it. You are being too hard on yourself with this trying to find a girlfriend routine. One heartbreak doesn't mean you should 'give up' on life; keep moving on. It's very hard, I know, and sure you'll feel shitty for some time; but everybody goes through things like this, it's part of maturing into an adult.

Finding someone else. I read an amazing post in another forum (Rottentomatoes) by an Australian woman who broke up with someone, it was very sad but she then hooked up with someone else and she said that it was absolutely perfect. She said that there was not one thing that she'd want to change. So, yes, it is possible for it to totally work out with someone else after a relationship with someone that turns out really wrong. But testimonials like that aren't very common! :$

Fuck, everyone's an attention whore. Sometimes I really think so. What makes you think otherwise? Deep down inside everyone wants a lot of attention, don't you?

There are degrees of attention whoredom and l0cutus and Trident are the worst degree, mostly because we all know they will never grow up.

Trident, this is your solution.

Either grow up and start at least ATTEMPTING to find solutions to your problems (because at least some satisfaction can be derived from giving things a shot), or you may as well end it now because you're destined for a life of misery in a perpetual cycle that will invariably lead to more misery.





Now you on the other hand are just being vicious here

Nothing funny I sense from your post so I have to assume you are serious.

Now I am serious with the message anymore of this bullshit of people advocating someone to take their own lives will be gone for a very long time.

I take this sort of posting very seriously and if any of you want to try to challenge me on this, you can try. Just be forewarned

You are hereby gone for an amount of time to be determined by the mods

You have to remember, Tridentboy has never had any kind of relationship with any other human being...ever. It's not a matter of getting dumped and moving on, he's never gotten far enough to get dumped.

Let's both kill ourselves together, in a non-homosexual embrace, so that when our bodies are found, it is a embarrassing homosex-like sight.

 

[Muse]

Get a dog and walk it.


Cant tell you how many girls I met walking my golden in Ryunion Canyon when I lived in LA.

What did you do when you are a kid that made you happy? Model cars? Bicycling? Go back to a passion you has when you were a kid.

A few years ago I was going trough a difficult period in my life. We were having trouble concieving and work was awful for both my wife and I.

We ended up changing where we lived, what we did for work, how we managed our free time.

By removing the big stressors we were able to concieve and spend more time together. I Also started working on cars again because it made me happy when I was young.

First thing you should do is stop caring about what internet trolls think of you.

How about being a big brother to a less fortunate kid? This year I sponsered two families and helped get them out of poverty. If you make a difference in peoples lives you will feel it too. So much of our virtual world is fake. Go back to REAL LIFE.

That's a pretty heavy post. Kudos! :thumbsup:

Thats the problem with ALL children.
You think HE'S bad? I see worse every day at college. I'd boot some asses if I didnt think I'd get stuck in jail overnight.

LOL, reminds me of a band's album on which they write "we'd kill people, but it's illegal so we make music instead."

I remember when he posted about not feeling sadness about his grandmother's death and not going to her funeral.

A later thread, he was pissed b/c his grandmother didn't leave him any money when he believed he was his grandmother's favorite grandchild. He wanted a super-duper laptop for non-school purposes and wanted his mother to buy it for him with money that his grandmother gave her.

Again, I have no sympathy for such a self-fish little prick. And he wonders why he has no friends and can't meet a girl. Then gets all depressed that some girl that he wasn't dating or romantic with, wants nothing to do with him.

And sure there are no cute girls in Seattle. Who cares, they'd all walk away after having a conversion with you.

 

[Muse]

To those who said I should see her in person, she lives 3 hours away. There's always been that distance.

This is fundamentally the problem then. Long distance romances are very difficult. Even if they are off on the right foot, they're bound to go bad. Hell, it happened to me. Some of you may know the song by the Velvet Underground, "The Gift." This hapless guy Waldo is separated from his girlfriend who has gone away to college. He can't afford to travel to see her so he mails himself in a package. She has a tough time opening the box, all the while she's explaining to her roommate that the guy she's dating now is so much more a man than Waldo (Waldo can't hear, he's just ecstatic thinking of how delighted his girlfriend is going to be when she sees what's inside), finally in her frustration she has at the box with a knife, end of Waldo.

About there not being cute girls in Seattle, tons, I fucked one on my last weekend trip down there. If he doesn't think there are cute girls there he needs glasses.

Tricking him into eating those is pure cruelty.

Tricking him into eating those is pure cruelty.

Indeed, that would be. But, one can tell the difference between them anyway. It would be like that cat sitting in a chair that licks its paw and then looks up with this, "wtf" face.

 

[soccerballtux]

I agree. When you're a douchebag to everyone and think you're better than everyone including his own family, who would want to be around someone like that. His ugly personality, laziness, excuses for everything and unwillingness to change leaves him at where he is now. No sympathy here.

he could be like my friend and just go get depression meds. Now he's 27, on meds, really annoying to be around, and doesn't understand why he doesn't have any friends that want to hang out with him. Who cares! Just take more meds!

 

[TridenT]

Catcher in the rye and Perks of being a wallflower will be your friends for now.

Read The Catcher in the Rye. A very quick read. It was alright. I understood it mostly. Although I am interested in some kind of short analytical essay on the book to see what maybe I didn't see up front (I couldn't tell if this book was very symbolic or not. Those things are not always apparent.).

Hey, I see you took me up on my challenge.

My mom got that for me in 6th grade to begin my homeschooling curriculum. She confused it with To Kill a Mockingbird somehow. The only part that stuck with me was where the main guy was looking through a hotel window to see a guy pouring a pitcher of water on a girl's breasts, complaining about what a waste of water it was. That part made me hard. What was your favorite scene?
