People are getting a bit touchy here

it's hard to fight back when the bullying isn't physical.  i never thought about fighting back, anyway. 

I was so hyperactive that I fought back before thinking. 

It sounds like you went through some difficult stuff, Lucifer.     I'm sorry.

It took me ten years. This was the first year at the gymnasium.

(Those of you that get the wrong association: no I'm not talking about a school for gymnastics.)

thanks, hon.  it's a loooooooong time ago now, of course.  i'd like to say it didn't affect me, but that's probably just my usual way of dealing with emotions - don't.

i got bullied pretty much my entire school career. its really damaging to a person when they grow up i think

Not always; people can live happy adult lives without letting their past get in the way of things.

True. People can also live miserable adult lives without having ever been bullied.

and people can also be miserable without having lives.

er...

 

The way I see it is that you're only going to feel down if you allow others to impose their standards of living onto you. This works if you have low self-esteem and are lenient when it comes to criticism.

you make it sound as though it's a choice, pea.  and, as you well know, i'm not a victim.

I'm mostly trying to be introspective here with my own personal coping strategies. Don't mind me.

People are getting a bit touchy here what's going on

I agree. Intensity has been really sucking lately.

I think we need some more intelligent conversation here, and I DON'T mean more arguments. Expressing opinions, maybe some debating, yes. But arguing over stupid shit and being nasty to each other all the time has gotten very old.

Arguing and shit-stirring has always been an important element in what makes this site Intensity. If you want intelligent debates, go to a forum where they specialise in political and philosophical discussions without any drama. Some of the members here -- like myself -- aren't interested in politics or what's going on in today's world. I'm here to express myself, even if I happen to come across as a belligerent dickhead lacking in insight and substance.

IntensitySquared shouldn't be about saving face, in my opinion.

I'm not looking for political or philosophical discussions. I just wish there were more interesting topics, like there used to be. Even the arguing and shit-stirring has become boring because it's done in such excess lately and over petty shit.

Why don't you make those interesting topics instead of complaining that there aren't none? :p

Sorry Carla, as much as I may be out of kilter with what the forum is about, this expresses what I think this board is about and much more than that. It is what it's strength is.

Arguing over stupid shit is a strength?

I like the drama, but only when it is interesting.

Someone delete a thread or something...in fact, delete one of Scrapheap's.

It just seems lame for people to complain about shit only to find that they do naught to alleviate a forum's stagnation.

I want to be the meat in a Carla - Milla sandwich.
