Author Iron Bubba Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 It is alwaqys better to laugh than to be brought to depression by others Not when the cost is your soul. You will only be laughing for heir benefit, not yours. Link to post Share on other sites
kenmore Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 You speak of rejection; I and others here are trying to reach out to you. If I rejected you, it would be so easy to just say "f*ck him, I'll go spend my time elsewhere", yet here I am. I'm not saying be a fool, I'd never say that. I'm saying try to change your attitude. I have this friend. He's the most uplifting guy I have ever met. Even though he is in a similar boat as myself (one of a career in an industry which is just as happy seeing us fail and saying g'bye as seeing us succeed), and even though he is not making ends meet now, he has been cheering me up! He's optimistic about his life and the career. To talk to him, one would not know at all how much he's suffering because he is just bright and cheerful. At first I thought what a dick, he's just what I don't need around me, but as time has gone by, I realize he's exactly who I need in my life! Someone who, even if they don't make my life more successful nor materially better, he makes me feel more like living my life and makes me want to look toward the future! You can be a grim Iron Bubba, always feeling ashamed and put down; or you can put the effort in to try and be like someone people want to be around. The choice is yours. As for us, we're here to help and if you could use that, we will be around. If you are just negative and reject us (something oddly you accuse everyone of doing to you), you won't find friendship for long. I'm not rejecting you nor threatening you, I'm just saying it like it is. Ken 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Iron Bubba Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I have zero interest in making new friends. I'll keep my old ones but I have no interest in meeting new people in any capacity. You're all pretty much the same to me. All I hear is the usual crap. Because as soon as we start having political or religious discussions, I'll have a disagreement with you, then you'll just start getting into my face about it. Then I'll fight you every step of the way. Then you'll just get angrier and angrier at the mere fact that i am defying you. Then you'll be forced to ostracize me because the only thing you all care about is conformity and you think you are the only ones in the world that can be right and thus you will only end up insulting me or berating me because I do not share my beliefs because we we all have to be the same. You're all the same. There is no place for me in your world so i reject you. There is no other way. None at all. Link to post Share on other sites
kenmore Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Interesting perspective. On one hand you tell me what I'll be like and how I'll treat you, and on the other you are doing the treating now. I get it, it's a defense mechanism. You have been hurt so would rather not put yourself out there. If it's any consolation, I would never get into a political or religious argument here. I may voice an opinion, but not argue. It's not worth it to me. You may suit yourself. Your first post sounded like you wanted someone to talk to, get some helpful opinions etc. If you are happy with your current friends, then that's awesome! I'll be around if you change your mind. Take care. Ken 2 Link to post Share on other sites
endlessabyss Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 People do realize that when I woman isn't interested, their first line is "I have a boyfriend", right? lol. I have watched so many videos of guys cold approaching females, as well as reading online journals of guys trying to improve themselves with women, and they get that line hundreds and hundreds of times. I empathize with you, OP. Things are hard, but the feelings will pass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kenmore Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 People do realize that when I woman isn't interested, their first line is "I have a boyfriend", right? lol. I'm sure that is true because it's easy to say and difficult to disprove. Any guy who went out of his way to find out if she really has a BF would suddenly be creepy. We have to accept it at face value and move on. At least it's relatively merciful and quick! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
fitnessfan365 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Calling BS on the boyfriend. 1) A BF is a big part of a woman's life and how she spends her time. Since you've known her awhile and talk often enough to get along well, she would've mentioned him by now. 2) You're her neighbor. So if a guy was coming/going regulary you'd see him at some point right? Link to post Share on other sites
BronzeAgeJaeger217 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Well rejection is part of life, it happens to everyone, well maybe not girls so much in the dating scene but for other aspects of life too, we aren't owed or entitled to anything 1 Link to post Share on other sites
