    20 KB Tell me about yourself! Part two The Bell !6yThnvlB1o 02/19/10(Fri)17:23:08 No.7578265  
    (The old thread 404'd while I was asleep...)

    Tell me about yourself. Tell me something ridiculously personal. Tell me the most interesting thing about your lifestyle. Tell me what you're passionate about, why you're passionate about it. Tell me your secrets. Questions. Ponderings. Anything.

    I'm listening.

    I'm absolutely terrified that I'm going to turn out to be my father. He's not a nice guy, and I'm still getting over the effects of living and growing up with him in my life. While my extended family knows I don't speak to him anymore, none of them know how scared I am that I'm going to be the same as him. I'm too scared to have a relationship because I've seen what my father did to my mum, and I'm too scared to consider children in my future because I just know I'd treat them as he treated me and my brother, and I couldn't do that to a kid. I say I'd never do that, but I know I would. It's inevitable. The last relationship I was in, I was an emotionally manipulative and violent cunt. I was my father, and I didn't even realise it half the time until my mother would point it out. I can't get over this fear, because I know it's inevitable, and I don't want to be like him.

    Of course you probably live impossibly far away but the point I'm making here is that there will always be someone to complement you - you just have to find them.

    I'm not trans-sexual, or anything. I'm quite feminine. But everything I do, or want to be, or desire to act, would be so much more accepted if I were a guy. There's things guys can say that girls can't without sounding ridiculous, things guys can do that girls look stupid doing. I just wish I was a man.

    I'm pretty sure everyone has wished they were the other gender, but if you were me you'd know that there are just as many things girls can do that guys can't. The benefits of both sides are actually very very even I would think. Sometimes I wish I were a girl. Well, I think it's a good thing that you can admit that you want to be a guy sometimes. It shows that you are very secure in your femininity.

    I'm viciously scared of being forgotten. By anyone. I will do virtually anything to be remembered by the people around me. This has caused serious thoughts of a homocide-suicide scenario to cross my mind. It scares me how much I consider the idea of violently killing someone (or multiple people) in a memorable way, just to be remembered. If they make a documentary about me, all the better. I hope they somehow find this post and incorporate it into the film. 'The life of' kind of thing.
    I don't have the heart to kill someone, but goddamn. I need people to know who I am.

    Try actually being FTM transgendered. I hate it. Nobody quite understands it, and response is never good. Not that I've come out as FTM, but I've spoken about the concept with a few friends. Knowing that I'll never be what I should is hard sometimes.

    I seriously laughed when I read this. I have that same fear to this day, actually. It's not that I won't use a toilet, but when I do I have to poop with one cheek lifted off the toilet so that I can make sure there isn't a snake that will come up and bite my butt. Perhaps this reveals something about my personality. Who knows.

    Oh I understand how actually being transgendered must be.. So hard. And I would never want to go through that, so I feel for you. It's just, sometimes the way I act, I feel like I should be a guy. I have no girl friends whatsoever, and I get flustered and can't really speak to them when I'm in a primarily female situation. I just like drinking beer with the guys and talking about sex. I know it's nothing like being transgendered, but it's like, if I HAD been a guy, I'd have such a more secure place in this world than I do now.

    Depending on your childhood experiences, the need to be accepted by society has probably been engrained in your subconscious one way or another. Find something to occupy yourself. For me, it's gardening. Get a hobby. Crocheting, origami, who cares - if you can find something you're really passionate about, before long you'll find it can become very important to you and replace the void you need to fill with the need to be accepted socially.

    Just like I answered the other guy, it's my belief that a cause is a perfect replacement for the need for another person. Find something you're passionate about and do it, and you won't feel so lonely. You might think that you need a girlfriend because you have some kind of need for another human, but what you really need is something to work towards. A girlfriend provides something to protect, feed, and care for.

    Or, you could grow a garden. Or buy a cat. Whatever you like.

    I'm terribly empathic and caring, I get destroyed inside whenever I watch the news or just a sad, real movie. To the point of taking a clean blow knowing it was coming in a fight so that I wouldn't hurt the drunken piece of shit that hit me. I could have literally killed him since I have years of training in several (useful) martial arts and I'm like 1'87m, athletic. Whatever.

    But on the other hand, I'm way too intelligent and cultured to be even interested in anyone (let alone trust entirely) or feel any kind of passion at all, so I feel terribly alone and I get depressed. And because I get depressed for nothing, when so many people suffers unimaginably, I get to hate myself, get more depressed, and so on.

    I'm in education... but everything is half-assed, and motivation is plummeting.

    A cause? That's nice and all, but anything worthwhile, and that you can actually make money off of, is going to take tons of work. Without anyone to help me, or pushing me, how do it? Why do it?

    I hope I could be more focused on "Self-actualization" if I wasn't distracted by being ronery all the time.

    I really like people, but I don't relate to them at all. I pretty much just put up a front that I don't like being around people, but that really is not the case. I can't handle very loud social situations, but other than that I would enjoy being able to go to a party and just hang out with people, but I'm generally just the awkward kid that doesn't know how to contribute to the conversation. One on one interaction is perfectly fine for me, but in big groups I just don't understand people.

    I don't think it's a bad thing. I mean, I'm glad I'm like this and not overly violent on the other hand, which results in a lot worse things.

    As for your loneliness and depression, I had the same problem. A lot of people are just square pegs in society's round hole. Like I've told other people, a lot of lonely people don't need other people - they just need something to do. What are your ambitions?

    I do need people. I have accepted that the only moments I've ever felt hapiness were shared with someone else. I have friends, but just because of that. I wouldn't tell any of this to them and some of them I know for 20 years, for instance.

    I don't have passions nor ambitions. I equally like music, films, literature, poetry, plastic arts, sports, videogames, etc. Even speaking of, say, music, I don't have a favourite song, album, band or style. I'm too aware of the fact that I'm not special to focus on anything over something else.

    I am a college dropout who was too lazy/apathetic to go to classes, and ended up being put in a mental institution because my family mistook it for being suicidal. The cops were called to my dorm. It was funny.

    I'm an artist who's mostly too lazy to create anything. I draw comics and build websites in my head, but am too lazy to put them on paper and make them happen. I play video games instead.

    That's about it. I'm single, obviously, but don't care enough to change it. I don't do anything outside my house, so I don't meet anyone new, ever. But that's fine. I wouldn't know what to do if I did.

    Funny thing, though. I have an OKC profile, and I get messages from women all the time who want to talk about nerdy shit like WoW, Warhammer, and comic books. I barely ever respond to them, because I'm terrified of saying something to make them think I'm as much of a loser as I really am, or worse, actually like me.

    I kinda like my life, I guess.

    Well, I wasn't asking for advice. Also, "afraid of work" is not it. I'll explain what my "deal" is, it's really classic.

    I'm not attractive.
    I like to think everything else is just derivative of that fact. I was never liked in kindergarten and not in school either. I tried hard to be liked by people, but there was always something wrong. Even when I did nothing, something was wrong. After 10th grade, no-one cares anymore, and I'm not bothering trying to impress anyone either. But still, I feel disadvantaged, if not just for my looks, but because I have to do everything on my own. Everyone at uni that I get along with are strange in one way or another. Sadly, they're also overlap somewhat with the "slacker" archetype. Those who work, seem to normal. And indeed, sort of scary. Asking to work with them, I'd just be a burden. And probably wouldn't get along.

    So that's the thing, this is going to sound cheesy and stupid but, if I'm going to do stuff for no reason alone (and I really think I can, if I just try harder, or work harder), I just want 1 person that I love to support me. I'd have no trouble giving support back. But there's no support, no motivation, only vague promises of rewards. I've kept pushing on because of those promises all my life. But it's starting not to be enough.

    So there you go, I'd never say this shit without being Anon.

    /r9k/ is now my blog. :D

    Oh, you misunderstand. I'm horribly afraid of people finding out how much of a failure I really am. My family knows, but they just chalk it up to depression and let it go, but none of my friends do. I have this weird habit of lying about shit just to buy myself a bit more time of keeping a facade up. Never works out in the end, but I do it anyway.

    I like my life, because I've had so much time to think to myself, that at least I know who the hell I am. I know what I want and don't want, even if I know I'll never get any of it. But mostly, I feel that I became the person I was supposed to be, and it fits me well enough that I don't have to pretend to be someone else.

    What's wrong? If you're having a shitty time and your friends are just going to call you a downer and not help you, they're shitty friends and you should ditch them anyways.

    Alternatively, if you're just self-conscious about it, do not worry. Be happy you have friends. Enjoy yourself with your friends. Of course I have no idea what kind of emotional baggage you've got, but I've never seen a burden that can't be lifted by a good game of Pokemon TCG.

    You need to look at it this way, EVEN if it was true... if you can't prove it, no-one else can in principle assume you're right. Which makes you...

    Well I never meant for this to be an advice thread, but since I seem to be giving a lot of that out, sure.

    Let me tell you what has helped me to get things done in the past. First, I make a list of all tasks in my queue, or things that I must get done before I can "relax" without any immediate chores to be done. Then, I make sure that everything is prepared and organized so that I may move from one task to the next without spending a lot of time getting ready to do something new. For instance, if I need gardening gloves for the third task on my list, I will set the gardening gloves on the table before I even start my first task so that I won't go looking for the gloves. All of this preparation makes it less and less easy to get distracted, and with my mind on the prize - "now you can relax" written at the end of the list - i can be fully productive and efficient.

Of course he doesn't know and I didn't even participate in the debates (although I have to say that I got the highest grade in the end). He's very open, friendly and understanding, but I never wanted to even speak with him because I knew I would find out a small detail that would spoil the image I had of him. It always happens.

    And the thing is, I always imagine him questioning me on my mind, whenever I doubt about anything. I'm fine with this altogether, just saying.

    APPARENTLY THIS STORY HAS BEEN SAID BEFORE EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T POSTED IT SO WHATEVERBLOX
    I was in a long-distance relationship for several years. We lived on opposite sides of the US, so we only saw each other every couple months (usually for 2~8 weeks at a time though).

    We never had sex, but we did a lot of foreplay stuff. She was always really tiny so she was afraid of how much it would hurt. We tried several times to have sex, but I would never get all the win in - I'd always pull out after getting halfway because it was hurting her so much, and she'd tell me to stop. We're no longer together now for unrelated reasons.

    I dunno if that still makes me a virgin or what but whatever.

Even if they were the most open person in the world (which who I'm with is the opposite, actually), I would still be wondering when will be the day they leave me. I'm very cynical and jaded towards love and the opposite sex, so much its physically painful sometimes.

    yeah dude, I appreciate the feedback. We've talked about it and it's been a problem for her for most of her life. She's just not a happy or excitable person and she just prefers to take the easy way out all the time and run away from anything difficult. Even though it winds up always making it worse because shit always catches up to you.

    I've been at this for like 4 years and she hasn't even tried to improve herself. As soon as something gets in her way, she just turns off and curls up in a ball on the couch and goes to sleep.

    Shitsux man.

    Never once has she ever done anything exciting or sexy or surprised me with anything. She just waits to be given stuff and loves being treated to things, but never feels as though she has to do it back to me.

    And she's let herself go and doesn't look as good as she did a few years ago, while I've taken the initiative and look a lot better and am a lot happier.

    I'm a closet dyke (... bisexual? who knows), but just don't date anyone because I don't want the negative social stigma attached to me. I'm content with being a crazy old cat lady when I grow up, I guess.

    I like really fast music. Sometimes I go into Audacity and speed up songs so they sound chipmunk-ish, and listen to them when I'm feeling really energetic, or have a million thoughts racing in my head at one time.

    Sometimes, when I'm bored, I drift off and think about having imaginary conversations with people. Not really in a crazy kind of way, but I guess it's sort of like... daydreaming about hanging out with a person? I dunno. Probably really weird, but oh well.

    I always find myself having random morbid thoughts. Not about killing people or anything like that, but more like... "oh hey, it'd really suck if for some reason I felt compelled to stick my finger in that pencil sharpener and have it grinded away, with blood spewing out of the machine and splattering across the room."

    My lady wants to go live in London some day, raise a child, maybe grow old and she wants it to be with me. I think that would be the best thing ever, I love the idea of Britain.

    We talked about it before we broke up and decided next time we were going to try some lube or something. We both kinda had the impression once we did it a few times she'd be used to it and we wouldn't need to worry about it any more.

    Fuck it, I will just tell you people. Dead grandma showed up in a family photo.
    Anybody remember reading this? I have posted it many times.
    Anyway, this was no trick of the light. This was an 80 year old dead woman's face clear as day. Coincidence? I was there when the thing was taken, this was no coincidence. This was one seriously weird happening. So weird in fact that I can't bring myself to accept the "nothing" answer to the question of what comes after death. Obviously it is something, I saw it with my damn eyes. My whole family saw it with our damn eyes..

    So go ahead, try to convince me I am crazy or it was swamp gas. I know you are wrong and I know what I saw and the circumstances that created it. I am fine with that.

    Damn..brother tries to write and interesting personality trait and has to put up with this shit!

    Do you think it would feel very different? What is carbonated water like anyway? Similar to soda? I think pudding or jello would be the best. Alternatively I always thought having a house with trampoline floors would be cool. So you could sort of run about the house doing very high jumps or say jump over a stair railing onto the trampoline ground.

    I'm pondering proposing to my girlfriend of 13 months. I have the money. I know what kind of jewellery she likes, so I've got an idea about the ring. I'm just worried I might be moving too fast. We're both still students (albeit towards the end of final year), and we haven't lived together properly yet.

    Still. I'm kinda convinced we could have something wonderful here. And I would like to go out on a limb, make myself a bit vulnerable to show her what she means to me.

    You need to tell her this in the same matter that you just told me. If you've tried talking to her before and she hasn't changed, maybe she really needs a wakeup call. Either way, make sure you're being assertive if you think she isn't getting the message. Are you possibly being intimidated by her? I know it sounds crazy but....

    I want to travel across the country on foot. I have really intricate daydreams about it all the time. Currently I'm debating whether riding a bike and attatching a wagon on the back would be good or not. On the one hand, extra storage, possibly faster commute, easier on the feet and back. On the other, bikes break and thus I'd have to take repair supplies, and such a thing would decrease mobility (for example, crossing streams and climbing mountains, or very dense forest, would be hard to navigate with a bike.)

    After a while of wandering all around, coast-to-coast, I'd pick a place and construct a home. Start a garden, be completely self-sufficient.

    But I'd probably just end up dead in a ditch somewhere. Or my glasses would break, and I'd have to live the rest of my life blind.

    You just have to wait until you find someone who's as crazy about you as you are about them. Believe me if you keep going out and attempt to meet new people it will eventually happen, no matter what you look like. Once that happens, you'll know it, and your anxiety will go away. Trust me.

    Clear as day. No trick of light or weird photo filter could create this image..at least not that I know of. I think the funniest thing about people, they are not willing to just leave things I say at what they are. You guys go on this whole charade about proving me wrong, even though you don't know what I am talking about and never saw the thing. Most common explanation is that I am crazy, which if true would mean I require my own section in the DSM.

    Anyway, let us learn something fro this. What we think we know and what the reality is are usually two very separate things. I will admit that this picture might have a logical explanation. Having spent years pondering this I have come to the conclusion that no, no it does not. Now, if it doesn't what does this imply? Obviously that something comes after death, whatever that might be.

    Now, can we all accept this, or do we need to stroke our egos and try to prove me wrong?

    The last time I spoke to my mother was when I was 10 years old, and I threw such a fucking shitfit over some pathetic little thing that she stormed out of the house crying. The next day, she called home and said she was coming home with her boyfriend. That night, her boyfriend (who was driving) got into a police chase at 100+ mph, and crashed into a street lamp. My mother was killed instantly, and he walked away without jailtime or a single scratch.

    My grandparents woke me up at 3 am that morning and told me she was dead. I just laughed it off, and for the next few years I just didn't care that she was killed. I rarely saw her since she was constantly in rehab for her heroin addiction, and I lived with my grandparents while she was away.

    I miss her so much it hurts, and I want nothing more than to go back all those years and tell her I'm sorry. I love her so much.

    This, fucking this. I'm in the same boat. I can usually pry him off CoD for five minutes if I start sucking him off while he's playing, and then he'll fuck me and immediately return to the game. We don't do anything. We don't play games, we don't go out. He just plays his game.

    Depending on the circumstances of what happened, the photos don't need to be identical... Hell, they could be completely different.

    But all I have to say is:
    Get the photo. Scan it. It's sure to be interesting.

    That's it, I'll leave you alone.

    I read a lot of fanfiction too, I usually have phases that I go through where I'll read a really good book and for two or three months only read fanfic from that book, then move on to another book and do the same. This usually is only with harry potter -esque books. My latest obsession was the Percy Jackson series. HOT DAYUM

    I'm an aspiring artist. What are your feelings on the importance of fine arts in the world? Do you think that it has any value? I personally think the collective populace doesn't care about real problems, and that art is one of the best ways to express the need to change.

    Speaking as the guy who saw his dead grandma and started a shitstorm that lead nowhere, threads like this are the best thing about this damn website.

    I remember once I wrote something to somebody on this. A little while later they said they memorized and saved the whole thing and that I had made, quote, "A big impact on my(her) life". So this shit obviously does help people, in some weird way.

    Seriously though, I used to be addicted, but quit around 10 months ago. While it wasn't the main reason we broke up, I lost my one and only girlfriend after retreating into that game.

    Fact is, it's fun, but it never stops. It's like a soap opera, or the sports season. You need to sit down and talk with your bf about this, tell him about your feelings and your needs, emotional, sexual, whatever.

    If he insists there isn't anything wrong, repeat yourself with a calm voice and the force of thunder. If he won't see sense, leave him. If he doesn't see sense after that, he's a lost cause.

    Good luck femanon, and godspeed.

    Well, /r9k/ers are a diverse, interesting group of people. And, as I said in >>7578825, I love hearing stories, I love talking to people anonymously even though I'm pretty awkward in person. I love all the things you can do with the concept of anonymity. It draws out the human in people.

    I am secretly not as fun as I seem.
    I really hate going places and being with people, that's one of my biggest secrets. My life style? I never eat alone. I love books and history, to the point if I am watching a really good show on the history channel, I'll blow you off. My best friend, he is really my only constant.
    Secrets?
    My brother is my heart.
    I care more about my cat then people.
    I'm scared of the real world.

    Art is expression, and expression comes from a creative drive that those who have it cannot stop. Most people don't understand higher art at all; to understand you need to be educated, to know why something is good. Most people just enjoy art because it resonates with them on a personal level.

    Either way, art is a brilliant thing. I write poetry myself, amatuer and very niche. I find the idea of expressing my thoughts about something only a handful of people in all the world could understand very satisfying.

    Great, be a massive faggot about it.

    You claim you saw your dead grandmother appear in your photo, and you expect us to just accept that without doing something perfectly reasonable like showing is the photo? We're not even directly blowing you off yet! We even assume the photo is genuine and ask you to show it at some point in the future.

    But fine, be a dick. You don't want to make an effort, you don't have to and I can't force you. Way to be...

    When I was younger I isolated myself and ended up interested in stuff my father was. He was worldly inventor who died when I was 18. So now I know all kinds of uncommon things, and own all kinds of esoteric stuff. I've become the go-to guy for everything with people I know. I also recently worked hard to be outgoing and social, so I now have a reputation as some sort of awesome eccentric badass.

    The flip side of that is that essentially becoming a "retired engineer" in your teens really fucks with you. Not much contact with women, few friends my own age (I was once told by a woman in her 50s that I'd make a really good old man,) and I didn't go for an education. The stuff I learned about doesn't have a lot of demand by itself so I'm underemployed. Those things didn't bother me until recently. Now I see my old interests from an outside perspective and don't know what to think. Not just the practical stuff, either. Sleeping alone has become particularly painful.

    None of my friends know that side of me. I'm not down about my future, but fixing all this shit gets aggravating after a while.

    She didn't leave me, rather, we drifted apart after I realised she was a compulsive liar and subsequently became jealous of her relationship with her best friend. There was also the fact that I was nervous about having sex (my best friend got his gf pregnant at 16), so we didn't do it as often as she would have liked.

    I regret my behavior, but I've learned and moved on, and I know it takes two to make or break most relationships.

    i am broke. like, i can pay my bills but if anything at all extra is needed i am fucked. that includes something as cheap as $40. my boyfriend recently lost his job and is not really making much effort to find a new one. he claims he wants an open relationship but doesn't let me fuck anyone. and i've never told him this, but he is bad in bed. i love him so i tried to help him learn, but he doesn't seem to want to. now i just schlick after he's done fucking me. because i love him. i don't actually really want to be with anyone else, he just keeps picking incredibly dumb or fucked up girls who i hate and need more attention than me. and last night he slept with a straight guy while drunk.

    before i met him i was a member of a bdsm personal site. someone contacted me on there recently and asked me if i would let him fullfill a fantasy he has by letting a friend pay him $200 to fuck me and we would split the money. i will never tell anyone, but i am seriously considering it. if i can find a place other than our apartment and i don't have to do anal and can use a condom, i think i may say yes.

    Essentially you have two kinds of art...

    One kind follows a certain set of rules and forms, be it in poetry, music, painting or otherwise. This is the sort of art that it requires knowledge of the artform to appreciate.

    The other kind is that which anyone can do, which is through expression.

    Ultimately elements of the first type break through in amatuer art, because most of the "rules" are a reflection of human nature.
