I get dumped like...everyday. It sucks. But you gotta move forward. All we can do is move forward.
It's only healthy for a garbage truck to be dumped once a day, not a person. I started this thread thinking, "Wow!" and ended it thinking "W" I can't even spell it. It's not even a word but a sound of total disbelief. An amazing transformation happened in this thread. It started with a messed up young man (something that's completely normal at that age) and ended with a thread full of messed up people, giving him advice! That's why I love this board and all the people on it. It's just so, FAMILY!! And now we've all moved into a new trailer home together. Man, what will this decade bring...

I am not so sure that the entire thread is made up of messed up people. I think we just have a tendency to move from the original subject and get a bit sidetracked. I have not seen any new posts from the young man so I hope he is okay and has moved on with his life (hopefully someone in his real life can recognize any signs of depression and steer him in the right direction). :stung::pride:

Dr. Fudd...It saddens me to hear your judgement of our fellow friends on this board that we are all 'messed up.' The kid, the advice givers... I Do feel closer to many good people here than I do to my family of origin, primarily because the MB seeks to uplift not denigrate.

I've had occasion to visit people in mental institutions. Everyone in there will tell you how crazy someone else is, but that they are fine. It's only by degrees that it's different in non locked up society. I'm not excluding myself from the rolls of the messed up here. I know I'm messed up. I may not know in all the ways that I am, but I know about some of them. I hope you don't stay sad for too long about it. That. absolutely, was not my intention, to make anyone sad. Challenge us to look at ourselves maybe, but not to make anyone sad.

I go by the standard that the world is made up of messed up people, just by observation. I mean, look at it. I like that people explain their thought processes, because it demands that I consider my own. I know my own selfishness, self righteousness, pride and ego by considering what people say to others, and by what they say to me. Seeing my own reaction in the reflection of someone else. The guy that was obsessed with the girl may have gotten help here, but I tend to doubt it. People that are helped usually stick around and thank people for helping them. But gang jumping someone with "wisdom" and "advice", I don't know if that did anything more than just run him off. I say that, because I've run people off with my own good intentions. Listening and drawing out the person usually works better, instead of: this is how I did it or this is how you should do it. At any rate, this is just my messed up opinion.

I like your explanation and I don't think I've heard that expression before "Gang jumping" - I saw it on the Chatelaine website - that mob mentality especially if you ask a question about morality. Anyway - thanks for clarifying :peaceful:

OK, so probably shouldn't laugh, but oh dear god its so funny! Poor guy, If it was me you may get some love from bringing me a signed Stephen King book! (don't judge me, I really would eat my grannies foot off for a signed book ;) ) but you would be straight back out the door for being a little needy and a whole lot of creepy. Try and work to the rule... treat em mean, keep em keen. At least for a while until you have stopped with the stalker image you have adopted ;), Once you are back playing McLovin and all is well with the world, you can thank me for all my great advice with a signed 1st edition Talisman, inbox me for my address xx

I am at the end of my ropes, the depression from this situation is hard to live with, I literally can't eat even if i try and I'm afraid I'll die from malnutrition but if that's all you can do for me, look for my picture in the obituary. Thanks.
Darlin', if you don't like yourself and your own company, no one in the world will ever satisfy you. You want her to be interested in you? Be interested in life. That makes you interesting.

Thank you for your concern, clearly I lack the means to win this girl over with my words or else i would have done so already. I'm depressed because the one thing I believe in(love) is failing me and there is nothing I can do.

....sure there is, continue to overact and whine...sheesh, can't imagine why the maiden fair wouldn't literally be swept off her feet with her knickers round her ankles with such a studly approach...

In nature, of which we humans are a part, the female always does the ultimate choosing, and they are just as tied to biology as we males, no matter what the P.I.T.A. feminists may try to say. I have learned to be myself, and not try to put on a front. If it works out, cool. If not, I have a lot of stuff to keep me busy, and a relationship built upon false pretenses will never last and be short and miserable. No more expensive gifts, etc. Been there, done that. I don't pay for it anymore. You can't buy love. I also make it a rule that if a woman is mean, condescending, hateful, constantly grouchy, or hypercritical, I walk away immediately. This young guy, assuming it is not a put on, needs to talk to some older male relatives or friends, who will put things into perspective.
