None of my relationships worked out until I found the one that did. So, in retrospect, all those prior relationships were just not right for me. But man, it does often hurt at the time, doesn't it?

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 get dumped like...everyday. It sucks. But you gotta move forward. All we can do is move forward.
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).It's only healthy for a garbage truck to be dumped once a day, not a person.

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.It's only healthy for a garbage truck to be dumped once a day, not a person.

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.Dr. Fudd...It saddens me to hear your judgement of our fellow friends on this board that we are all 'messed up.'

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 am not so sure that the entire thread is made up of messed up people.

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 clarifyingI go by the standard that the world is made up of messed up people, just by observation. I mean, look at it.

Hopefully he was able to talk to somebody and get some help with his troubles.I wonder what ever became of that kid.
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.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.
Maybe he found a new girl and has moved on to writing to Dean Koontz?I wonder what ever became of that kid.

Signed Koontz books are everywhere! Hell you can even order one through Barnes & Noble!Maybe he found a new girl and has moved on to writing to Dean Koontz?
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.
