Don't we all wish that, heh...

It's pointless comparing yourself to other people like that. Only compare yourself to how you used to be.


If only I felt worthy enough. :(

Sorry about the interruption but WTFRULOOKINAT, where does your accent come from?
And also, what means that verb: "to flock".
I know the word floculation (I worked in industry) but "to flock"?

Ah! I said nothing, I found it :idea:

Think it'll work for you?


I've only gained about 12 pounds so far. I'm continuing to feel threatened and hurt from two weeks ago. The feeling isn't fresh, though. I'm just emotionally scarred by memories. Funny thing is I'm trying to get more traumatized, so those things will seem like nothing, and I hope I get it SEVERELY.


What's been useful in the past as far as traumatization goes?

Here's a few things that help me:

1. Do something incredibly stupid in public, this is easy for me since I experience emotions so strongly that I'll end up in the middle of a delusion, I'll have no choice but to get ridiculed when someone notices my erratic behavior, it's harder to do this with zoloft, so it's a good thing you're not taking it.

2. Watch something f***ed up happen to someone else and just stand there not knowing what to do, that'll haunt you forever.

3. Better yet, do something f***ed up to someone else for no reason other than to look cool

4. Develop strong feelings for someone who doesn't like you, make sure they're too shy to tell you that they can't reciprocate these feelings, lie to yourself over and over that things will work out, then just enjoy the stack of cards tumble

5. Think of someone in your life who's deceased (extra points if it was a suicide), backtrack to a moment where you may have given them the idea of how to off themselves, repeat the moment in your head any time you feel like it.

6. Show absolutely no gratitude when anyone does someting nice for you, throw it right back in their face and watch their feelings get hurt, I did this kind of stuff to my mom and I still feel bad about it.

7. Trust absolutely everybody you meet, let them prove to you why you shouldn't trust them, you might lose sleep over this one.

Those things help me feel traumatized when I feel the need for it, maybe you can come up with a list.

Number 4 usually happens the other way around. I'm a toonophile, so I can't really fall for someone real, but I hope to get out of it, but I doubt it. And I still trust my family, since I have no social life whatsoever, they beat me up and make fun of me, but that's STILL NOT enough. I'm glad you wrote that list, though. :)

I ALWAYS do number 6, and I can't quite remember when a person I know died. Maybe... I should troll the GAD... I'll get quite a lashing from the logic-boy posters and they'll tell me traumatizing things.

Yea, tmi is pretty scarey :oops: but after you reach that point where you've had enough, it should be easier to move on to the next thing. Yea, I've done number 4, but I figured I'd just come out with it since it seemed to be more useful than letting them just figure it out (much harder than it sounds). My older sister used to end the relationships fast (she didn't play around), she always told my mom it was easier on the guy.

Why not? No one will notice, remember or care about me, so why not let the world know. I've been wanting to tell someone. It's a shame I'm NOT older, and aging to the right age will take an eternity, especially since I have no job or activities to do until then.

It just seems that many here care about you.

How old do you want to be?

Old enough to stop caring about the things I do now. But that will take forever, so I just want to age myself psychologically. That too is impossible as I have ZERO social life.

60-80 sounds like a good age to be. I know you can't just will it, but I'll bet if you spent some time around old people, they'd give you the right pointers. You'll just have to be a little sly, I can imagine them doing the same thing everyone else does when you resent your youth.

I used to go to this church where I was the youngest guy there (lots of aging couples), they were always glad to have someone younger spend time with them (and they're great to model off of for acting older). When it comes to feeling or acting a certian way, there's a thing I use called archetypes (a mental representation of something).

After reading the book "Maus" (actually it's a graphic novel), I found myself wanting to converse the way the protagonist did. I didn't go as far as sounding polish, but I was in the same boat as you, resenting the way I came off to other people (as immature). Are there any old people you can think of who seem dignified?

Not at all, and I was thinking more of the 40-50 range for me.

Hello Fickle_Pickle!

If you act like a 40-50 years old when you're only 18, how will you do when you will really be 40-50?

As a teen-ager?

Or a rheumastic old one?

... Besides, you effectively have all your chances to find a wicked dirty old man in that slice of age, the kind that will know perfectly well how to make you feel like crap (and your family like saints) :ninja:


Either ways, I think it will be no good for you - that is: if you want to keep a good health on your own.
