This thread is great. It made me lol so hard I almost choked on my cereal. I really hope we're not all tarred with the same brush as the OP.
Some people want to complain that everything is against them and in response, they're going to make things worse for themselves.
Some people want to work to make things better.

Good luck until you change from one to the other. Otherwise your life is going to be HARD and it'll be on you.

Some people really feel everything is against them....I have felt this way many times, its probably one of the main causes of suicidal ideation in me. Trouble is inadvertently this mental state can also push people away, cause maybe they try to express sympathy...and you won't have it because you feel like such a piece of crap, that you don't deserve it. My mom has had her feelings hurt when I've gotten into rants about how much my life sucks and how upset I am about something and how I don't see the point to keep trying and especially if i mention things she may have done better i raising me. Some people want to work to make things better and constantly get sh*t on till it burns them out.

I DIDN'T ASKED TO BE BORN!! !


Newsflash, OP: Neither did anyone else on Earth. Eventually some of us stop throwing tantrums about it and make some effort to deal with things.

No, no, I e-mailed my parents and urged them to send a stork and bring me at their door stop!

I don't know who was happier - stork or me when I landed on that doormat :D

And me. But I asked to be born a millionaire.

I'm sure the stork was relieved when you landed on the doormat safely

He/she gets paid by each baby delivered.

i'm sure you were small enough (or still are!) that an actual stork would have actually been able to carry you.

i didn't know you could email them. damn! that would have been soo much quicker and easier than standing in line for the future family directory and sign-up sheet, at the DFHF for four hours with all the other previous incarnations.

i wish the descriptions in the directory were more honest, so we really know who we're going to. :P

yeah, later on I figured I'd sent it to the wrong people :P there was some glitch in the system I believe. [email protected] are frauds, I tell ya.

but indeed, an experienced stork can easily carry 40 kg I guess :jester:

I am trying so hard to stay positive about my place in society, but I'm not doing very well at it.
I wish I had gotten an inheritance from my father when he passed away a couple of years ago, but everything, including the $500 000 mortgage free condo, went to my stepmother. I shouldn't be surprised. He left my mother when I was 4 years old and never paid any child support. My mother did her best with me, but she was a young single women and was much more interested in her own life than mine.
The school system screwed me up so badly that I can't function without medication.
I worked continuously from age 15 to 40, but broke down so severely that I'm now on disability and with the gap in my work history and no references, I am likely to stay on it for the rest of my life.
I'm grateful that provincial disability supports me and keeps a roof over my head.
But I always wanted to be a part of society, not dependent on it. And I am beginning to realize that I am not actually a part of society and never will be. It is tempting sometimes to become angry and embrace hate, but that will only hurt me. I just wish I had some value to the world.

It is good to see our helpful moderators handling the OP's situation in such a sensitive and not at all mocking manner. As we all know, depressed people do not try hard enough; a little bit of mockery should be enough to convince them to man up and be happy.

yeah, we're always happy to help. :skull:

the bottom line is that no one asked to be born...and blaming one's parents for actually daring to bring them into this world isn't going to solve any problem.

I understood the point Who_Am_I made. It was a good point. However, it went from just an advice to mockery once you guys started making "cute" jokes about storks.

i just thought she made a good point and went on to make a joke...it was more of a joke on life expense than OP's.

this is not haven, i don't see why a joke can't be made? it wasn't suppose to mock anyone but life itself.

OK, I believe you. But the joke was ambiguous enough (OP complains about never asking to be born, people start joking about asking to be born) that it could be seen as mocking the OP. Given how the OP seems distressed, all that joking seems inappropriate in this case.

My apologies, it was not my intention to mock anyone. I posted that yesterday while feeling sick with the flu and that's the only reason I posted since I usually don't post here unless posting warnings, and I continued today since some followed and I thought it would be polite to respond.

I'm an Aspie too so pardon me if my interjection was inappropriate or misplaced.

Now please everyone let's return to the subject of the thread.
