Some people here are to much focussed on their special interests and don't get the way others are. I don't even exclude me from that. The way that other people are is often alien to me and I'm quite fast judging others as well. But that's normal and all people develop quite fast an opinion about others because it's very important for social interaction and for this it happens even subconsiously. You may use this for your advantage. Be aware that the world and the way that people are won't ever change just for matching your point of view of how they have to be. Many of us need become more aware of the things that other people care and the way their mostly as well quite limited minds work. Whining about how evil the world is doesn't help. You have your cards of the game of life already and now you have to learn how to play them the best possible way. :wink:

I'm not really complaining as much as I'm bouncing off walls in my head.

I was wondering previously if that view of life as a game is too distinct from my totally pragmatic approach.

I see people, not exactly chess pieces. Is it really so offensive not to live by this weird analogy?

In relative terms yeah, it's snowing in September & I'm a winter person so that's pretty nice. Again, it's not like I don't see the silver lining of things, but everything including the whole state I live in is a mess lately.

Made some tea for the first time this year instead of coldbrew...

You see people but you are unaware of yourself and not realizing how other people and especially women see you or men at all. There isn't as much of a difference between people and chimps. Women are crying at the stage towards the ones who are able to play an electric guitar but they won't ever do towards the ones who are able to build those. :wink: What's the big difference between you and the guys on the stage? 8O

Helpful. Why can't people who don't have anything nice to say keep their f****** mouths shut on this board?

Well I'm an intern in a giant company, without any job security right now. When I'm not worrying about my own future, I'm watching the world burn more or less. I'm tired of watching what's happened to my state & Boo's country.

I'm writing about why my living conditions don't leave me any energy to put towards human interaction.

I mean... how can ya not be. Being a human on this tiresome planet is a bother. :P
I am *always* exhausted and completely worn out even if I'm trying to stay positive. Gosh, the grind just never ends.

If I find a way off this planet which doesn't involve passing from this life to the next (or the Mars colony), there are a number of people here who will get PMs.

Not looking terribly good for that at the moment, but who knows? :D

You are working for a company which sells the result of your work. The more they sell the better for them but they won't ever treat you better then that tool that you are in their eyes. Interaction with people is more than just working. Nobody cares about you if only the work that you is all that you are for them. First of all stop being your own enemy because you have already enough problems without this. Do care about your appearance and your social interaction more. Best would be to develop bit of fun with this.

Well, it seems the world will end in 2040, at least...the civilized world. :P.

I notice when I post somewhere I feel like a cowboy entering a saloon and the conversation usually ceases like somebody stopped the record player.
