    Look, GTD...sorry for you that you feel this way - and yeah I could give you a list of things that MIGHT work for you - but, to be honest no one on this board can understand your situation because it is just a message board. Additionally, you Do have a tendency to shoot down any well meaning suggestions.

    I am not going to crap on you further for starting a self-loathing thread. But I am going to humbly suggest that possibly if you were to post ONE happy thread every day - you might notice that your personal outlook has changed in the "real" world.

    you posted a statement that you went 2-3 weeks off of this message board, but then got bored...I understand being bored at work - and so using this M.Pit as a crutch - but, you couldn't HELP but notice that the responses to your threads tend to be a lot of eye rolling and teeth gnashing?? (I include myself in this grouping - because to be completely frank - your posts are frustrating)

    once again - I promised my self to not give advice that you will refute - but dammit you post yourself as such a seductive train wreck! sigh.

    please try to post one silly/happy/jokey fun thread for every 3 threads that you post full of worries and self loathing...please just try it! if you consider communication on this board "talking" to other people, then give us the same courtesy of not always being a down! I am sure you don't blast coworkers, friends, and acquaintances with a laundry lists of your faults. So, why do it here? (I can see wanting to vent occasionally, but like i keep urging - try to post ONE positive thread a day.)

    GTD, we all have problems and issues We ALL smell bad sometimes and have bad hair moments and feel fat or skinny or greasy or ugly...we ALL feel insignificant and worthless at times...there is NOTHING on earth worst than the discontent of the well-fed...it eats at your spleen because we are privileged enough to live in countries and have the means to give our minds non-sustenance issues to stew over...WE ALL FEEL LIKE SHIT SOMETIMES.

    I do hope you did not see this as a personal attack - I was very careful not to come across as mean spirited...well, anyway that is how I feel about this particular thread, and your general thread themes.

    well thank you for trying not to be mean :).

    I have posted happy things on this board though (especially in the PJ/music-related forums, did you not see me celebrating the anniversary of my first pj show a couple weeks ago? and honestly in general I think what is happy and what is depressing is often a gray area. a post one way or the other could instill the opposite emotion in the reader. for example the hotel scam post...was intended to be "happy" turned out to piss everyone off! besides that, I tend not to see experiences in my life as positive/negative/happy/sad/neutral. I mean something are definitely sad- like deaths and illness (which people post about, and I don't because it's just too sad and too important to be here). But I digress, I mean I don't usually see most experiences as + or -, I see them as just kinda there...

    oh and as I said, I don't really care if anyone hates me. there's only one person who still posts here that I've ever met.

    Not everyone hates you, you need to stop thinking that they do.
    The majority of people on here are genuinely concerned, but you give them no chance to express it, or to offer help and advice.

    I total do, I listen to what everyone says (unless they're being an asshole of course). but the regular answers are totally cool.

    Most experiences are not + or - that is definitely true; however on a message board it is really hard to capture nuance.

    I don't think people expend enough energy on this site to "hate" anyone else...disagree with, dislike, and have contempt for...all of that is definitely here! but I don't think HATE...meh...whatever, I was just making a suggestion - intended not to make you "likable" here, but to maybe soften your world view and give you some chuckles in your "real" life.

    but everything needs a dash of salt...so, it's cool.

    I tried picturing it... I really did. But I always end up picturing me stealing the sombrero, and getting drunk on cheap tequila. Except, I later find out it wasn't tequila, but turps.:o

    Hehe. You can have the sombrero - it'll only remind me of the Great Turpentine Disaster. And just in case anyone's keeping tabs, I'm not derailing this thread, because the Great Turpentine Disaster shares its initials with - you guessed it - Green Tea Disease!

    Actually, hey, maybe getting blazing drunk would help her forget about her worries and her strife?
