Ah don't know... Oh, and aside from the weights and pedal exerciser, I'm walking up and down a flight of spiral stairs, to use the bathroom and get something from the kitchen. And my mum always complains about this as well, as it hurts her legs. There's nae consideration for the strain on my legs, like - you'd think so with my cerebral palsy, but nah!
That's why ah don't complain about anythin', my family always make it about them, whenever I do.

I've noticed from a lot of your posts on the forum that you don't have a fantastic relationship with your family that you live with and I've read what you've written about the things they tell you or have told you in the past. Do you hate or strongly dislike family members for how they've treated you or will you always love them unconditionally?

Ouch...I buy this stupid game for the sole purpose of playing with these dudes, and now that I have a minute to get on, they wont let me join their party. I should have known better.

I've been watching a couple of crime documentaries lately and it appears that the media has been outrageously and repeatedly guilty of not double checking their facts and intentionnally misleading the people with sensational headlines and exagerated (or simply false) statements to sell more newspapers or get better ratings, since a very long time.

It's already obvious when you read most newspaper and double-check the facts yourself, but seeing the consequences caused by this lack of professionalism in these documentaries, it doesn't seem so innocent anymore.

It is quite scary how blatantly irresponsible outlets will be with a broad- very influencing, trusted platform.

A lot of people assume the news/media to report cold hard fact, while the truth may be closer to varying degree of educated assumptions and deduction. That is of course when they don't flat out make up things - which isn't uncommon either.

Wife's birthday yesterday. I brought gifts that she liked. Went out for a meal as she wanted to in which I barely made any meaningful conversation. But she was happy it seems and showered me with love. Yet I felt empty. Maybe it will come in time once, somehow, I am able to cope with my anxiety that affects me at work and in home but I felt completely bereft of any feelings of love or happiness. I did what I felt I had to do.

Apparently me lifting dumbell weights and doing my pedal exerciser for half an hour each per day is a bit obsessive? Or so my mum tells me. And there wus me thinkin' it's just me tryin' to keep fit. Wrong was I! h:

Regular exercise is extremely important mate. Our bodies need to exercise. Don't stress about what others say. You know you're doing the right thing :thumbup:

Maybe you could say 'well when you're 65 and you fall over and break your hip from a lack of bone density, don't come crying to me'.. erfect:

Cheers, Pug. Hud quite a few fights about exercising since get ma surgery done. My rehab team stressed that I don't over do it, and do when you feel you've got the stamina for it.

I'm not stressing about it, I'm just tired of my mum in particular, always fretting about the possibility of me hurting myself. :kickingmyself:

Like, I appreciate the concern, but gimme a break... It's not like I'd be stupid enough to persist with my weight if my arms was struggling to lift 'em.

While yer sentiment is right, tryin sayin' it with my accent. Ye just come across as a c^*% - given how matter of fact us Scots can be. Since we don't tend to mince words if we really mean summit. And, apparently, the idea of my living independently of my family when I don't care about them. Or that's how my mum likes to think. Because the burden of care for her lies upon my shoulders, according to my oldest sister. Urrrgh!!

Sorry, didnae mean for this reply to try into a mini-rant.

Well, looks like the creepy clown craze that's been sweeping America has finally come to the south of Scotland and the rest of the UK mainland.

There's been a few incidents, but nothing major. At least, nothin' been reported here where I live. Though, local police have issued a warn about it. But that's do nuthin', really, in my opinion. I can see anyone being stupid enough to pull that kinda behaviour here, most likely, gettin' battered, anyway.

Everyone needs some space from time to time. But certain forms of seclusion can become unhealthy: There’s a big difference between rejuvenating solitude and fear-driven avoidance

(from Is It Solitude or Loneliness?: 4 Questions to Help You Tell)

I suppose it could very well be "for the best" for me to suffer from extreme avoidance. It was created in me for a REASON - that people in general SUCK SHIT, and especially if you're at the bottom of the "pecking order" in society, and have a neurotic/oversensitive/overreactive personality. My avoidance is playing an absolutely essential role - it's protecting me from the many real dangers that i could get exposed to, and get into "trouble" from. Boredom, loneliness, etc is the price i pay for that protection.

Also, the same most likely goes for women. I KNOW the "trouble" that I could very easily get into concerning them, and my inner wisdom KNOWS that my personality cannot handle such things (i go "CRAZY" with rage/whatever). So again, my inner "guardian" is protecting me from myself essentially, by way of extreme avoidance.

In summary then, it is better overall (i THINK) for me to be crazy-bored/crazy-lonely/etc than crazy-angry/etc. This has always felt to be the case with me. My whole life has been about DANGER and FEAR and RUNNING and SAFETY.

I can't for the like of me recall where i saw this, might even have been on socialphobiaworld. But the tab was opened, and i thought it would be good to share the black-and-white interpretation of SAD on here. Artist drew a number of other disorders as well.

I swear if I get one of those wankers trying that crap on me, I'll pole axe them into the freakin ground.

Been seeing some amazing robotics on FB lately, really amazing stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR5Z6AoMh6U

It got me thinking about where it will (probably) head, with more advanced robots. Warfare based on robots, robots in our houses and in some cases as companions (such as those with dementia and dare I say it - crippling SA...).

Then we will one day advance them to become independent thinkers, self sufficient and self aware AI.

What do you guys think of this? Skynet coming true? Is it all a good thing? Or will it be the end of mankind? Will they supersede us?

Personally, I think it all depends on how much independence we give them. And how self aware/self preserving they become. Humans are a pretty shitty race, so it wouldn't surprise me if they seen us as a threat in the end and try to eliminate us. but I'm talking maybe hundreds of years into the future - if we make it that far.

Yes, but the difference being a gentleman would have shown more genuine happiness and sincerity. I felt empty and I'd rather not have celebrated her birthday considering I haven't cared about mine for five years.
