I only go to the therapist once every 3-4 weeks, so I am doing things by myself for the most part. Don't mistake me for some weak person. It's just that I can't control what goes on around me.

The tricky part is to find a good doctor before you're down with no control over yourself. Or hope that others will help you up when you fall.

Haah, don't I know that problem. I have it myself, along with writer's block. I really do feel like I should write on my Half Prince stories again, I have been keeping the readers waiting for about three months now, but somehow the idea of typing the chapters in my head is terrible... although I'm not really angry about it, I just feel exhausted. Like everything is piling up on me at once and I don't know which way to turn. It just makes me want to give up all of my projects and stuff, sit in a corner and just shut down for a while.
And isn't it terrible, trying to improve a drawing? Happens to me at times, I get the posture or the face juuuust right, but then I do one mistake and the entire effect of the drawing is ruined. I had to draw a posture and character three or four times before I got it decently enough for my tastes...

It sucks you feel that way. I wish I had some form of advice to give you, but it seems we're on the same boat.
I hate having writer's block. Unfortunately, because of it, I've stopped writing entirely. It's been years. So, I'm just sticking with drawing. I feel that it's my calling.
I know that feeling. I could spend hours, even days, drawing and if I mess up one thing I just throw it away and start from scratch or give up. My boyfriend HATES when I throw them away.

That's such a drag. I fucked up the first two weeks of both semesters during my senior year in high school and while it is possible to dig yourself out, it really sucks. The biggest thing is to not let yourself get psyched out. That's huge.

Stuff like that happens. The fact that you acknowledge that it sucks shows that you're responsible, and the fact that you're trying not to let it get to you shows that you're not a quitter either, so just work on not letting this happen again and everything's cool.

I feel sorry for those types of people, who think sympathy is something to be reserved for a select few. Yes, it's good to keep things in perspective. But there's always someone who has it worse. Doesn't mean you have no right to your own pain.
But you're right. If the people you vent to can't show you the slightest bit of sympathy or understanding, then it's not worth venting to them about it.
Quote:
You honestly think that I haven't tried that? Of course I've tried to make friends. No one that I talk to has any interest in me or even cares. And they get REALLY angry whenever controversial issues like politics or religion get brought up. I often have unpopular opinions on things, and that just makes things even worse. And before you ask, no I don't bring those subjects up. It's always them, and whenever I state my opinion I'm looked at like some piece of trash. And I used to invite people over to my house many times. No one ever invited me over in return. And what's the point of striking up a conversation if it's just going to be some boring mundane subject? Yes, I've joined some clubs. That doesn't mean that I make any friends. So what, the people there have one thing in common with me. That automatically means that they like me? The people in my school are a bunch of shallow pricks that I can't stand. I've tried making friends, and I've tried finding people that are half decent. Let me tell you something, those people don't exist where I live. I live in the whitest, most arrogant, stuck-up, and shallow suburban area ever. I hate the people and their conformist attitude. It's basically a bubble where I live.
No, I don't think you haven't tried that. I didn't know if you had or not, so I asked. If I sounded like I was making accusations, then I apologize.
I'm sorry people haven't been receptive to you. And you're right, just having a common interest doesn't suddenly equal friends. But in any other situation where people are a lot warmer than what you've described, it would be a start. But I wasn't aware of how bad it really was, so I'll just drop it.
Anyway, I guess you have to do what's best for you in all areas. Hang in there, and I hope things will turn out better for you soon.

Yeah the phrase 'first world problems' is often used mocking but with a little thought it actually means something. We can't forget to take the context of the individual into account. Sure there are starving children in Africa who have it extremely rough but suffering is a personal thing unique to the individual and their circumstances and should not be compared against anything else because it's such a subjective thing.

Context: Last day of the summer vacation and I was hanging out with 2 friends. I wouldn't eat at home so I called the home phone and nobody answered. Tried my moms phone and she told me she was at a birthday party from someone who lives in our street. I was told to make an appearance (good manners and such) but it was the last day of the vacation and wanted to spend time with my friends so I asked to bring them along.
After MUCH hesitation I convinced my mom to pass her phone to the host of the party to ask if my 2 friends could come. The reply was: no problem, the more the merrier etc. We went after dinner and had a blast.
The next day though, shit really hit the fan (as I expected). My mom couldn't decline or start a debate at the party, because it would probably hurt her image as always friendly & the best mom ever (Now don't get me wrong, my mom is plenty friendly and caring, but very unreasonable at times and that unreasonableness is only seen at home). So when it was just the 2 of us shit was hitting the fan. 1: you can't bring strangers! 2: you make them feel uncomfortable to say no so they won't do it 3: most of your friends are weird (wut, she was really grasping there) etc.
In which I respond:
1: they are my friends and I know they'll behave if they are allowed to stay. I know the host and my friends, have some trust.
2: The host knows me and I know them. Saying 'no' is always an option and they never just say 'yes' to please me
3: granted some have their quirks, but so do you and the rest in this village. I know who I can bring and who I can't (see 1) etc.
Now that i refuted her arguments I expected she would counter my arguments or bring up other subjects but NO. I'm your mother and I won't stand for that tone of yours was the first and final answer.
It reminds me of playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are at chess the pigeon will just crap on the board and strut around victoriously on it.

I hate being on the business end of that argument. Still, I can't help but wonder if I'll find myself using that very same argument when and if I'm a father. It could just be the parent being stubborn, but maybe there's some justification at times...
I dislike that argument as well, but I do think it has its reason at times. Parents being older do have more experience than their kids, of course, and probably did things that they regret. And can sometimes see their kids do something that led them to do something regrettable, so they try to stop the kids from doing it early on. And probably stick to the "I'm your parent, I know better" argument so as to not reveal the regrettable thing.
Although in your case, I have to say it sounds a bit... off. I mean, you asked the host of the party if it was okay to bring friends, the host gave their permission, so I don't quite get why your mother was so upset about it?

I know every kid and their grandma worries about this but the interesting thing about life is that even when you've heard it all before, when you feel a common problem, it still feels very real because you've never felt it before.
I move into residence tomorrow and I'm really nervous. I'm the kind of person that worries about the small things... Like, I don't know if I should unpack everything when I get there or throw it all in a corner and deal with it later. I'm worried about missing something important or getting lost on campus, all the common shit you hear about in yahoo questions.
But what I'm most concerned about is having that bubble of naivety I know I must have been living inside in high school bursting. I don't want to get there and have wild parties going on around me 24/7. That's not my scene. I'm not one of those people that will judge you for it-- I don't give a shit what you do, but rather I don't want to feel like I'm some prude or something for not participating. I know I have to go to these parties to meet people but they really make me uncomfortable because I (medical reasons) cannot tolerate really loud areas and I have never gone to what college kids consider a 'party' before. I don't want to get there and be shocked at what I see and then feel bad about myself. I otherwise have fine self esteem but this is what really gets me for some reason.
I adored high school and was really broken up about leaving after graduating. I'm mostly over it now and I'm ready to move on but I'm shit with change and I worry about everything. I hate hate HATE that I'm like that and logically I know I'll eventually be fine but I'm worried about the beginning. Even my mom's like 'yeah, knowing you you're gonna hate the first weeks' which pisses me off because I know it's true. And I don't want it to be that way but that's how I am.
I feel like I'm whining but it's really eating at me, no matter how illogical it all sounds.

Well, I guess staying away from a party you know you can't tolerate or won't enjoy much is better than going there, hating it and ending up crying in a corner... Although maybe that's just something I do, once I've reached my limit of social stuff I can take in a larger community - for me, 4-5 people is about the group size I can tolerate - I end up going somewhere like the bathroom and I break down in tears.
Um, in terms of helpful tips. Maybe check around campus, see what areas you like and hang out there? You might find people who are similar to you and they may throw parties that are more your cup of tea. You know, not too loud or crowded and stuff like that. Otherwise, well, you say you're aware you'll get over it soon enough... so all I can really say is take it easy? Although that may not help much.

Wow, your class was so bad that you had to leave the room? I dunno about other High Schools, but in Germany it was quite normal for one class to have about 30 students in it, minimum. And we had loud noise at times... mostly, I escaped it by shutting my mouth, listening with half an ear to the teacher while I drew or wrote my stories and got Bs and Cs. XD

If anyone ANYONE tell me one more time: "Don't worry someday a guy will see your interior beauty or Hey you're just different that's all OR Seriously you're so lucky guys aren't interested in you, you'll never encounter guys who'are only interested in you for sex."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I know my friends are not mean. I know that those word are suposed to make me feel better but man! Choose some other words! I have the feeling that they don't try to understand how I feel and just tell me pre-made sentence to make me feel better. Especially the last one I just can't stand it! It was hell in cegep (college) because I just saw couple everywhere, and people only talked about how this party/sex was sssssoooooo good last night and how their boyfriend was sooooo awsome it drove me near a serious case of insanity/loneliness/depression. Now it is a bit better since it seem that in university people are a bit more serious (or the fact that I'm studying with guys) make the thing more tolerable now since they do not always talk about that. But facebook make the thing even more annoying with all those picture of happy go lucky couples and all those parties where I'm never invited (it's been a week since I log out of this thing).
Yes I feel terribly lonely. But what's the point to suffer alone when it take 24h to recuperate (of emptyness) after you saw your friend? When I tell them about it they just say how I worry for nothing, that it's stupid to be worried about trivial things like that and tell me a pre-made shit about how I should keep hope about interior beauty and shit (when they seem to have everyman at their feet). URGHHHHH Just annoying me. Also there is the contradictory thing they says to me like: "You know what's important is what's in the inside."followed a few minute later by "You know love do not exist it's just sexual/physical attraction all along." And other things more cruel than that.

...Yet something tells me I might bring up such things myself (within limits) when and if I finally have a girlfriend... I'll have to remember how annoying it was for me to hear about these kinds of things when I was single and make sure to keep the details of my love life private.

I don't get why people would talk in public about, like, Oh My God, the sex they had last night was so supremely awesome and the party was totally sweet and other lingo I don't know about. It's okay to talk among your friends about your sexlife, I guess, but in public? But then, even that has its limits.
I mean, things that happen in the bedroom should - for the most part - stay in the bedroom. If I want to know every single detail about one's sexlife, I'll install a camera, thank you very much.
My little vent.
Since it's taking Shoujo Manga pretty long to get the next volume of their scanlation of Glass Mask out, I just decided to check a homepage that gave me a synopsis of what happens in volume 39 - 49, up to now. This thing is still coming out. I read and Oh My God, she is taking forever with this!
Look, Miuchi, back in '75 when you started this manga, these clichéed things may have been interesting and 'new' and all, but just because it started back then doesn't mean you have to keep things like back in '75. This thing is still going on, people. This manga has been going on for almost 30 years and she's still not done. That doesn't bother me too much, I mean every mangaka has a reason for why something is taking long. Berserker's mangaka, after all, has to take breaks due to psychological problems.
But does she have to keep these characters doing stuff that would have been annoying to read in the 70s? She is taking a huge freaking detour. The synopsis I read tells me that at least FOUR of those goddamn volumes could have been stricken because it was just one huge detour of saying one important thing.
Spoiler: Glass Mask Volume 39 - 49 Spoilers
Fact of the matter is, Miuchi: Fuck your character development and clichées and Love Triangles and Bitches in Sheep Clothing and all that other stuff that isn't important and have them play the motherfucking Crimson Goddess already. People have been waiting for that damn thing to happen for a good 25 volumes in the first place!

The AI in Dead or Alive 5's Legend Rank is a fucking cheating asshole!! Why am I bothering with this fucking Legend Rank again? Oh that's right, those fucking bathing suits for Lisa, Christie and Tina. I don't even really want those bathing suits, they're nothing but fanservice, I prefer to see a swimsuit that gives me a little mystery or even their other clothes. I'm only getting these for the fucking Achievement of getting all costumes!

In fighting games, honest AIs are probably the exception rather than the rule. They're right up there with strategy games in terms of fair play (or rather, the lack thereof).
I'll always love you, Max.

Try playing the older Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter games if you want cheating AI.

If by old Street Fighter you mean, like, Street Fighter Turbo or Alpha 2... they seemed kinder. Compared to DoA, there was no hold system that would counter moves. And the AI in DoA5 seems psychic and knows when I'll do a high or a low kick when getting up, even before I know myself!

Technically, the saying of "Someday, you'll find someone for you" is right. There are several 'rights' in the world in terms of possible lovers. As for someone who focuses more on internal beauty... well, yes there are people like that and it is important. Downside is, it takes time to get to know the internal beauty because people are attracted to external beauty as well. So it's kind of a vicious cycle.
I don't get why people would talk in public about, like, Oh My God, the sex they had last night was so supremely awesome and the party was totally sweet and other lingo I don't know about. It's okay to talk among your friends about your sexlife, I guess, but in public? But then, even that has its limits.
I mean, things that happen in the bedroom should - for the most part - stay in the bedroom. If I want to know every single detail about one's sexlife, I'll install a camera, thank you very much.

We're 20. We're young, we (well they) do parties and go to club. And sex is part of their lives. the thing is nobody say that they hate sex so it's a subject that everybody can happily enjoy. (Plus I'm wondering if they do not unconsciously trying to shove the MY LIFE IS SO AWSOME in your face. Facebook must have a bad influence on me) Also I'm just afraid sometimes that as there is beauty standards there is personality standards. I explain. At family reunion (or just everywhere I go) I look at those couples. Some are just classic match others not. But what I do see is that most of the girls share the same personality traits. They are all extravert, willing to do stupid thing on impulse, smart, super happy, the kind that will make you cease to cry and super social. What worry me is I do not fit in his model. I'm a shy introvert who do what she think she has to do, mostly think before acting, do the total oposite when she talks (yeah I'm a dumb girl who can't think and speak at the same time) and who's really high on her morals and values. So in brief I'm BORING. The lack of self confidence and an instable level of sanity does not help and that's without counting the fact that I hate alchool, drug and place where there is too much people in a too small place (like club). So yeah, I just have to run away from those conversation and those makeover my cousins want to get me through.
Back to the gaming subject.
Make me think about when my sister just beat the shit out of me by cornering me and tapping A with all her might.

Similar personality traits may help when it comes to finding a guy you're compatible with, but they are not everything. As I said, it takes time to get to know someone and find out if you're okay and comfortable with that person. Similar standards, morals or just overall interests are more important. You say you see couples that are not the typical matches. Those might be the ones that got together over interests rather than traits. And it's possible they only appear extroverted and similar because they are with their partner.
I'm a little more open to talk when my guy is around...
Of course sex is part of their lives. Still doesn't mean I have to or even want to know about it. It's fine and all if you have a lover and your sex is awesome and all, but I still don't want to know about it. If I do, I'll flat-out say it. Even if I'm an introvert... just... don't make me talk about money.
I always clam up at that.

The internet thing is not a bad idea though. Could be an interesting thing to do during a girls nightout (hum were you talking about dating agency?) As loser it may sound, my aunt found the love of her life on the net so maybe I'll give a shot someday. (Of course I'm not saying you are a loser....please don't hit me.)

I never had a girls' night out. Nor did I ever use a dating agency. Actually, my husband was a reader of my Tales of Symphonia stories, we got to talking and became friends (!! This I think is a very important part!) and then fell for each other. A dating agency might help... I dunno... my mother used Elite Partner some time after her lover died, but nothing ever came much of it and she gave up on them. Found a new guy about two years ago, they became friends and have been together for over a year.

I don't want to get surgery because I won't be able to feel any arousal, and I won't be able to reproduce. I always dream of being a complete, 100% genetic female, but I know that there's no way to make that happen, at least not yet.
Now, I'll be honest, I don't know that much about transgender operations, despite having two transgendered people in family, but... I don't think you'd be completely incapable of feeling any kind of arousal, even if you were to get surgery done.
But even if you went through transgender surgery, they would first put you on hormones and all for years prior and then afterwards as well, so, it's a huge and long process.
