Over a simple mistake.

"The Prince’s Trust Macquarie Youth Index 2015 reveals that anxiety is gripping young people’s confidence, with more than one in 10 often feeling too anxious to leave the house and over half worried about everyday situations.

Almost half of Millennials’ admit to avoid meeting new people and two-fifths struggle to make eye contact, according to The Prince's Trust Macquarie Youth Index 2015.

It doesn’t stop there. One fifth of respondents said they ‘fall apart’ emotionally on a regular basis, rising to one third among the long-term unemployed.

The report – which also explores bullying, troubled childhoods and resilience – also highlights that the anxiety issue is preventing young people from looking after their health and securing jobs."

I blame the Internet.

Man, frustrating. I have a shot at a preorder for the New 3DS Majora's Mask and a copy of Majora's Mask 3D Limited Edition, which are sold out everywhere else. But now my bank is glitching (once again) which might cost me the preorder.

It'd be neat if I could get it because the game was very important to my childhood.

I feel like I have barely evolved in the past 6 years. Not just anxiety wise but mostly as a person. I still avoid responsibility and I haven't matured much.

Aye, me anaw. Ah hinnae evolved in tha last... Whit'll be noo? 10 year, is it? Aye, ah huv'nae matured much, either, tae be honest.

No' really avoid responsibility, though. Ah try an' offer tae be helpful but ma family tend tae snub oan that front. "Aw naw, ah dae that..." h: Slightly annoyin' that they tend think ah cannae do much wi' ma disability, an' ah need constant help 'hings when ah don't really.

Anyway, that's ma mini-rant over. So, long strory short, yer not alone, there.

I failed. I was planning on going to the gym all day with a friend cuz she said Thursday worked for her. I decided to go by myself instead. Then I decided to just do a home workout tonight. Then I realized I'm not going to do that either. I'm such a go-getter that it hurts.

You know what? No matter what I do, it's never enough. The world seems to want more than I have to give.
Then I look around and see people who don't seem that bright and the world doesn't seem to hold them to the same standard. What they do is enough and they get things.

Years ago my own mother told me "some people just have to work harder". An this statement made me so angry. Not the hard work part but the fact that the work is so vague.

What exactly is this magical work that people with no luck are supposed to do?

When you are the type of person where all your hard work has never produced any real substantial payoff then the hard work becomes a hard sell.

You feel like a hamster on a wheel working hard and getting nowhere.

And this isnt just about money. This has applied to everything in my life. Even relationships. I've worked so hard to maintain them and they just crumble. Many times the other person doesn't even try but they expect more and more from me. Wth!?!?!

 

[Regret93]

I hate culture so much. Everything is becoming global and ubiquitous, and everyone just loves it. There aren't enough wool hats and pocket computers to feed their hunger for mediocrity. All it takes is one electro-magnetic pulse to take away everything people have become accustomed to over the past hundred years, and every night I pray for one to drop.

Currently here in Manila, Philippines experiencing the warm welcome of the Filipinos to Pope Francis. We were not able to see him closely but the feeling that we're in the same place as him brings so much joy in my heart. I feel so blessed!

Sums up ma life, pretty much.

Aye, it's a shite culture, innit? Mediocre an' dumb doon, by tha look o' it. Ah hate it anaw. Nae wunder ah dinnae feel part o' society.

Thanks, dad. Calling me fat over and over is totally going to encourage me to take care of myself. Not to mention that I'm fat because of the friggin' coctel of MEDICATION I am forced to take for my joints. As if I had any choice.

Saying that fat people are less bright is totally encouraging as well. Thanks for illuminating me, I owe you big.

Nae offense, but your dad sounds like a total fanny for sayin' that. Sorry, couldnae find a nice enough soundin' word other than tae describe 'em. Even if he meant it jokingly, it's still a c*nty thing tae say.

Dinnae let it bother ye too much, though. If need be, give tha sarcastic "Ha-ha! Very funny... "

Preferably in a monotone, deadpan voice.

But do try an' take care o' yersel'. Dinnae start bein' unhealthy oot uh spite.

Also, not all fat people are dumb... except ma cousin. And maself, obviously. :bigsmile:

Very sad that you have such a crappy father, Hellhound.:sad:
It is not natural for a father to want to put down and stamp on his own offspring.
Some people will purposely insult and criticize others as a way to make themselves feel "better" than others. Do you think that is why your father puts you down? If so, remind yourself that the problem lies with him, it has nothing to do with you.

Wow, I could have written what you just wrote! So good to see someone else express the same frustration I have but could not find the right words to "get it out". :thumbup:
The only difference is my sister thinks like your mother, so I get the same "advice" from her that you got from your mother.

No really, he really thinks he's helping. He has this bizarre idea that you have to be like this to others to encourage them to get better. The problem is that he's effin' igorant to understand that some things don't happen just for not trying hard enough.

Oh, and his sister says that it's all psychological, it's all in my head. You just have to go out more and your swollen joints will magically heal and you'll be doing breakdance in no time :thumbup:

Oh dear. mg:
Unfortunately it is very difficult to help someone's ignorance. :sad:
Would your father read some factual research (that backs up your situation) if you printed it out asked him to read it?

I miss the days when 4 out of 5 movies didn't have, at the very least, a heavy petting scene in them if not a sex one. It makes watching movies with anyone other than a significant other or a friend super-awkward. I remember praying for the moaning and the sighing to end in Watchmen while sitting between my father and my young nephew.

That gets awkward even watching a movie alone. With very few exceptions, it just makes the movie look like it's padding for time or trying to sell itself to you.

I normally disagree with the idea that quality film is disappearing, but this would be the one sound argument for it... can't buy a damn thing without sex in the sell (even if it's completely irrelevant). I sat next to a girl who looked to be no older than 10-11 when I went to see Avatar in theaters while characters moaned and ground together on screen. The look on her face said it all.

Nah, he also thinks doctors make things up to get you to spend money on medication.

I simply ignore him, he's not living here anyway.
