Finally on winter break! It's the shortest possible vacation time this year, since Christmas is on a Sunday, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

I'm a good person! What did I do to deserve such awful luck!
Sorrow: I think I made some people hate me.
Sorrow: I feel like a worthless person right now... But that might be the sadness talking
Sorrow: I can't do Anything right DX!!!
Sorrow: can't think of any joys right now
Sorrow: so many sorrows

Dude, You've just gotta be more careful with things you say. Take more time to think before posting.

Ever heard of Job? That might answer your question, actually.

If they hate you, that's their problem. You don't need to have everyone like you. That doesn't mean you shouldn't care at all, just try not to worry so much.

You still have your life, that's a joy. Please try not to forget that even in the face of your sorrows.

I can't get a job too young.
On right, I keep forgetting that life's a joy
And I can't stand being hated! It's the worst possible feeling!

Job is a name. from the Bible, I'm pretty sure. unless Chewy means a different Job.

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:08 pm

I see that now.
Joy: at least people are trying to help me with my problems here, while people I know IRL would probably just make it even worse
Sorrow: I think i have a bad problem, but I'm alway afraid to talk to people... That and I don't really believe in therapy.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:12 pm

Therapy is no big deal. It's not like it's what you see in A Clockwork Orange or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It's just someone helping you talk through your problems, usually.

I feel pathetic for being so afraid.

You're not too afraid to talk on these forums, that's something.

Trust me, it's brave. I used to be VERY timid, even online.

And faces don't matter--the tone you interpret from text can be intimidating enough (and hurt your feelings).

I don't really interpret that much from text

Is that bad?
And plus. I find it really awkward to talk to people most of the time
I'm sorry for doing this again.

Why would that be a bad thing? It's hard to do even when you're trying.

I used to as well--and to some degree I still do, though not nearly as much.

It's okay, don't apologize for venting your feelings.

You don't control whether the vampire comes to your bedchamber. But you can try to control whether you let him in.

As long as you're not deliberately trying to ignore people and thereby disrespect them, I don't see why not.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Joy 2: I was Evil Santa today, all in good fun
Joy: In metal fab we ate $100 in pizza as a class, man I felt sick
Sorrow: My friend Rob hasn't been around in a little while, which is bad because I usually talk about my problems with him, I think he was the first person I came out of the closet to.

To a point, it is not the nicest thing to do, but I often do it to avoid any bad confrontation, and is this about the who is the cutest person again?

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 10:58 pm

It is rude to ignore someone deliberately if you have no good reason to. If it is to avoid a conflict, than it is appropriate.

Wolfy · Post by **Wolfy** » Fri Dec 23, 2011 11:20 pm

joy: mum just put out all of the sweets and chocolate she bought so it is pigging out time!

Joy: stayed up last night to watch a horror movie and am glad to say I was not dissapointed. Must buy it on dvd to re-watch.

Sorrow: my pringles packet is empty *falls upon knees* NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sorrow: may have to go to bed soon. stupid pointless need for sleep.

Frown: my house has no wind or any type of breeze running through it. so why is the door open when I closed it five minutes ago. *shrinks into corner of the sofa*

Oh snap....I tend to do so when I'll feel uncomfortable which is often.

Anyways back to the topic at hand...

Joy: There's a possibly that my sister is holding A Christmas lunch this year, even though the main Christmas event this year is being hosted by an aunt. I(f that is true, i'll be totally stuffed by the end of Christmas Day.

Sorrow: My aunt's events always serve a lot of food that I either absolutely hate or cannot eat due to it being for somebody in her family that can't eat a certain food product. Especially now since its going to be a Christmas BBQ...

This will also be the first Christmas that will pass without my mother being around...

Umm
Joy: I finally got started and got some progress done on a relatively small programming project. For once.
Sorrow: Today has been nearly complete (and worsening) social and mental silence. I ignored the solitude most of the day, but now it's getting to me and making my mood become rubbish. Maybe venting it here will help. (sorry) As it's the last community I like.. even though it's quite slow to communicate. forecast for the events in the upcoming days is also no good. Especially this christmas.

Have you ever considered interacting with people by webcamming or voice chatting via Skype? Social isolation isn't good for any living creature, and while the internet isn't the best solution, it's better than listening to an empty house. Just try branching out to anyone who you securely feel is friendly and good at heart; you're only as lonely as you want to be.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Dec 24, 2011 1:26 am

Also possibly try to find a place to meet people in real life! A lot of the time people don't have a lot of friends simply because they haven't found the right place to meet people like them. That, and open yourself up a little more around people!

It's rare to find even one person with the same interests as me where I live at.

The first two aren't possible at all due to annoying parents wanting me to be completely isolated from anyone who they haven't picked to be my "friends" (quite crudely worded but alas it's true) for if I talked to anybody they'd notice and force me to be isolated from the internet, and I have, the thing is more often than not they're not available and the few people that are available are either 1. very impersonal or 2. very inactive. and not to mention, I've found very few people who I "securely feel is friendly and good at heart" who I can talk to directly and in real-time. (IM, and not by slow means of forums or email)

Yeah.. These replies to sleet pretty much sum it up. Precisely. Scenario also rather disallows me to currently go out and meet people like that, it's nowhere near as easy as it sounds. (or possible, TBH) I won't go into detail but to sum it up, it's not possible. I'll have to settle for what's realistically possible for now.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Dec 24, 2011 1:00 pm

It's not about finding someone with everything in common. It's about finding people who have some things in common. Then you build your relationship up from there and from acceptance of the things you don't have in common.

I've heard of some people who are really lucky. Sometimes they have a person or so who have a lot in common with them come to them and want to be friends. Sometimes they screw up and refuse the opportunity, but then that's their fault and they don't really have any room to complain.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Sat Dec 24, 2011 2:38 pm

Well I do not really need any friends at this point. We have a few family friends, or acquaintances through our Collecting habits. No one we would really go and spend time together with, but people we can talk to occasionally.
Anywho, what I mean about Rednecks is that most everyone here follows a certain stereotype, or are hunters, which make me automatically never want to associate myself with them. .-.

Joy: I got some crazy Japanese Pokemon Music CD. It is rather funny. XP

Then why are you complaining about no one to share your interests?

Also, please don't stereotype people. This includes hunters.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Sat Dec 24, 2011 5:34 pm

The thing is I never talk to these people and they all live an hour away. My brother talks to them and shares stories every now and then through E-mail.

And there is one thing I can not stand, Hunters, so I stereotype them by what I believe. I see no good in them..... (Personal Feeling)

Joy: Had Christmas Dinner, and soon will be sitting around a fire with my relatives.
