Stupid things you have done recently

Post Reply New Topic

I knew and pitied this really dorky boy, G., and he seemed to be very interested in pretty girls. I knew that it was good to try to share the interests of others, so I cut a lot of modeling pictures from magazines, put them in the folder, gave it to him, and made a few jokes about how they seemed like softcore porn to me.

A few days later he dramatically threw the folder away and told everyone what was in it and who gave it to him. He got very, very angry and rebuked me because "not all guys are like that! I care only about a girl's personality*." and, "autistic people don't look at porn." Everyone went through the garbage can and was tremendously entertained.

I seriously thought I was just being kind.

Some other boys in the class told me that G. was probably just embarrassed. They said they would also be embarrassed if a girl handed them a folder full of "J--- o-- pictures."

* Note: this is hypocritical. Mr. I-Only-Care-About-Inner-Beauty has an aching crush on an attractive girl he has never talked to.

i called my mom a b***h the other day outloud when i thought she was at work, (i was talking to myself) and she wasnt working and heard me

Your story about the magazines is really really cute and funny. You were being nice, its a shame he reacted that way - he only embarassed himself, and I have no idea why he would want to do that in such a public way. It's odd and shows that he obviously does have issues with the attractiveness thing and himself, to quote Shakespeare, "The lady (in this case the guy) doth protest too much!!"

In terms of reaching out to someone, especially someone whos a little different like you, I've tried it and gotten a bad reaction before, and I think its because these people might still be really desperate to prove that they are not different, and are still trying really hard to fit in with a certain crowd you might not be part of. I remember when I was in university I tried to befriend the only one other as girl in my program and she just gave me a very stern look and basically told me to go away. I think its because she felt there was only room for one quirky person in the pond... who knows. She seemed to only like being around very normal people, but also liked being different so its hard to understand.

I think with your guy he might have reacted so strongly because he felt like you 'saw' him, you saw through him, or got through to what he was really about and its a shock maybe to him because a lot of people think so many things about themselves are hidden, so it prompted an emotional reaction.

Its quite funny actually. One day he might come around, but trust me you can do so much better for a friend, there are givers and takers and you are obviously a giver, he's a taker and thrower-awayer (and in public) thats the worst of the lot, i'm only partly kidding. This is actually a really good moment because it can help you outline your future criteria for friendships... Find someone who will not take everything so personally, Find someone who gives YOU cool things, and also will accept things in a lighthearted manner, no matter how quirky the delivery, find someone who will not have their tantrums in public...
Best Wishes and Good luck with school!!

There was this very pretty girl, who in retrospect, I think pitied me because of what a dork I am. One day, out of the blue, she gave me this folder filled with modeling pictures from magazines and made a comments about how they seemed like softcore porn to her.

I had no idea if she was making fun of me or making assumptions about me by giving me that folder and I felt embarrassed. Over the next few days it just kept bothering me and then something snapped and I decided that she was making fun of me. I was very angry at her for making fun of me so I threw the folder away in front of everybody and told everyone what was in it and that she gave it to me. I went off on her and gave her a piece of my mind, I told her "not all guys are like that! I only care about a girls personality!" and "autistic people don't look at porn."

After I did that, it dawned on me, what if she was just trying to be nice? After all, I do like hot chicks and I like pictures of them, who was I kidding? I made an ass of myself and feel like such a dork.

All right, this one really happened.

Earlier today, I was getting ready to go to my classes. In the first class I have several acquaintances in it so the social pressure is a little higher for me. So today I decided that it would be a good idea to try to get a little drunk before the class so that I'd be more relaxed. I had a 1 liter bottle of Captain Morgan's in my room and I downed about third of it with some Gatorade 10 minutes before the class to avoid being dehydrated.

In doing this I had forgotten some factors that I shouldn't have.

1. I'm big, the effects of the alcohol wore off about 20 minutes into the 1st class.
2. Alcohol makes it so that you need to urinate like no other substance. Why did I drink that Gatorade, too?
3. The 2nd class after the 1st was far away & I didn't have time to go to the bathroom in between those classes.
4. Each of those classes was an hour and 20 minutes long.

Yes, it was painful.
