Title: Friendship regret
Post by: Jesse on June 05, 2013, 08:10:13 PM
I can make friends and then when I'm about to meetup I chicken out and sabatoge the whole thing.
Its because I'm afraid. I guess, No Skills, interpersonal relationships are more complex than a math equation.
If you have been out of the loop like I have you cannot have meaningful real life friends
See first sentence

Anyone else expeiriance this?

Because you're a pussy. I think deep down you may feel you deserve to be alone and friendless.  At least I did a long time ago I used to feel that way about myself. Just make an effort. It isn't like it will be the end of the world if it went sour.
Title: Re: Friendship regret
Post by: Jesse on June 05, 2013, 08:28:56 PM
I'm a pussy? maybe. I know one thing, Someone who clearly doesn't have many friends shouldn't be telling others how to go about making a friend. Or do you have friends outside in the real world duck? Correct me if I am wrong.

I think, you are bitter.

I do. Quite a lot more than you do. I visit them, they visit me. You have been out of the loop for a long time, i see. I always had friends offline, i was just always shit at keeping in touch with them. I am better about it now. I was lonely because i would feel introverted and noit want To leave the house. I'd eventually get lonely and feel in a rut. Im also prettier than you.  :headbang2:

Post by: Jesse on June 05, 2013, 08:36:35 PM
Your always here so how can you be visiting them and they visiting you? Maybe you guys hang out around the computer.
Interesting. I don't care about your looks, You are one thing I am not. Fat

I am not ugly like you. I also lost weight.  You do realize I have a smartphone? Herp derp.

I go to film school and learn web design. Rage is my boyfriend. He chased off MLA. He'll likely be online Tuesday to confirm this. You are a slow one.

Of all the things to lose, you should have lost your personality disorder.
People with borderline personality disorder for instance think they are more important than they really are.
and have fake boyfriends. amongst liking someone one minute and hating there guts the next, dramatically.

seems to fit.  :laugh:

Are you maor beautiful than you really are?  :autism:

Rage isn't your boyfriend. It doesn't appear that you have lost weight, (exaggerated self image) and you in dramatic fashion like someone one minute and hate their guts the next.

Most people with personality disorders like to shed the light off of themselves, for fear of people figuring them out.

seems like what's going on here

Richard try going to gem/rock shows and posting on a forum dedicated to the subject. You have learned a lot about gems/rocks and other rock hounds will respect what you have to say about it once they see a few of your posts or ftf discussions on it. When I discuss something I know a bit about, like guns, there is no concern about what to say next.

I am not your sister. You are brain damaged and hallucinating. See a shrink. I only reacted to your retardation.  I felt bad I hurt your feelings then you tried to act all hard like you don't care. You do care.  Now I don't feel bad. Night.

Hallucinating? That would be you. I don't know how many times I have told you, You have not hurt my feelings.
Trying to act hard? I've been dis way forever. Before I was struggling with an addiction, That's why I seem different back then.

But I assume you will have the same gripes and complains about me even though I have already explained this to you.

I'll say it again, Borderline Hallucination Girl. You didn't hurt my feelings, I wont be your Friend on here because you are a trainwreck.

This is good advice PPK. However, I never really gave it much thought to tie my intrest in with friendships. I guess when I am trying to make a friend I do as the romans do,  :GA:

But thanks. I'm thinking you are right, I have serious motivation issues with leaving all of you wonderful people behind though.  :laugh: :hyke:

Well I don't actually want you to leave I2 Richard. Particularly since you have quit drinking. I would like to be able to see you continue to do well in that regard. I quit booze and other drugs myself so I know it takes effort.

It does take time, Richard. I've been out of the loop for a long time, and got back into it. Met some people I was not uncomfortable around. We've met for years on different practical occasions. And, after a few years I realised that they had become friends. People I can actually turn to, when something goes wrong, and, they will turn to me when they need me too. Took time. Time for me to be open for that option again. And it has been worth it.
Maybe you need a stable place to live first. On the other hand, some friendships are for life, others just for a short time, but none the less, real friendships, different conditions.

And no need to leave us all behind for good, when you find a friend.

Thanks for your replys you guys. PPK how long has it been since you have been free from drugs and alcohol? It is hard, but almost 9months sober now I can actually sit next to someone having a beer and it doesn't bother me.  :laugh:

Hyke was really helpful. I'm trying to set something up as we speak. I have found the perfect person, (or what I think is the perfect person :blonde:) Hes a total nerd like me and we have similar looks, and hes fucking white. which up here there seems to be a influx of Mexican or Indians running around. which is rare, I guess I'm very picky. and reject a lot of the people that come my way.

Beggars can't be choosers Richard. I mean that in the nicest way. Actually I don't really, not even a bit.
Really what i would suggest is to see which people in your local area are not completely repulsed by you and then go and hang around those people. Those that do not abuse you, beat you up or seek to call the police on, you can call friend.
They probably won't be friends in the true sense of the word but that is semantics. as i say, beggars can't be choosers.

Just by the by, DFG is Rage's girl. She is pretty. You are as ugly as a hatful of arseholes. She is not suffering from personality disorders. I think she is a sweet girl. You are not really one to call trainwreck on anyone

Congrats about the drinking. You post a lot more sensibly these days. You are almost on the verge of not being a complete asshat. Well done.

There, now where were we? In this thread you have accused two people of being bitter. Is this a new catchphrase? An attempt at psychoanalysis? A hip new buzzword?

OR

An effort to project your own woeful insecurities on others?

Stop projecting Ricktard. You can dish it out but you can't take it like a man. Get over yourself. You arent special. You have ugly google eyes and you're a creep. No one likes you that you deem "acceptable". I pretty much befriend everyone. I dont judge. You could learn from that. You won't though. You will make the same Ricktard mistakes.

I get distracted and wrapped up in stuff and detest going out socially. Pisses people off when I won't attend a function/make plans to go somewhere with them and then I find myself stuck in apology mode which I also suck at.


I am friends with the neighbors and I have my cats. I'm content.

Make enemies slowly and friends even slower.

There is 1 friend that who became a friend almost immediately, and we've stayed friends for 40 years.  Another friend took about a month of casual talking at the school bus stop, but "instant" friendship over our first breakfast.  I prize these two women beyond belief.  I literally would not trust them with my life because if they failed the grief of failing would be unbearable for them (not being swellheaded here, they're that kind of person). 

There are others that I hold at a distance for quite a while.  Two I can think of.  One is my temporary AA sponsor and another has a handicapped child, but the mom carries a lot of emotional baggage.  I'm not saying they won't be friends, but I count them as acquaintances.

About the sentence I opened this post with, losing a friendship hurts a lot, so I go slowly in making them.

I'm sure it is similar. I am Bipolar II. Ricky seems to have his sister's problems and is in denial. I have asperger's , not ADHD or PDD-NOS.

Afterwards I felt a little bit bad, and we didn't resume contact online.

I judge people upon first glance but keep my mouth shut about it. I give everyone a chance because you never know who you are missing out on if you judge by first impressions. My only tthing is the person shouldn't smell bad. I am very sensitive to bad smells.

They didn't notice me. It was crowded, but I noticed them cus they were clearly waiting for someone where we agreed to meet.
I don't like insulting people irl, especially since most badmouthing of people would he glass-house-rock-throwing activity. Most people are similar, and their flaws similar as well:I

Richard try going to gem/rock shows and posting on a forum dedicated to the subject. You have learned a lot about gems/rocks and other rock hounds will respect what you have to say about it once they see a few of your posts or ftf discussions on it. When I discuss something I know a bit about, like guns, there is no concern about what to say next.
This is good advice PPK. However, I never really gave it much thought to tie my intrest in with friendships. I guess when I am trying to make a friend I do as the romans do,  :GA:

But thanks. I'm thinking you are right, I have serious motivation issues with leaving all of you wonderful people behind though.  :laugh: :hyke:

we shall see

You don't have to leave us behind. It is perfectly feasible to post on two boards.

  Now I am thinking about shiny donkeys.  :autism:

I ended a long-term friendship last year. I supported my friend through many hospital admissions for depression (visited her a lot even though it was over an hour's ride on the train and half an hour's walk).

But when she decided she wanted to be anorexic (yes, she really did put it that way) I didn't understand why. I am dealing with weight gain the proper way I know how - with healthy food and 45 minutes of exercise every day. My friend kept sending me texts about how she threw up her dinner every night and how she felt guilty about eating any food, how she was tired all the time and yet how pleased she was at losing weight and asking me how much I weigh, which is many more kilos than she does. Eventually I said to her that I couldn't support her down the path she chose for herself and the stuff she sent to me was very triggery and I couldn't handle it. She said I was giving her an ultimatum - my friendship or anorexia. And she wouldn't choose me. So our friendship ended.

I still think about her a lot and hope she is well and recovered.

Al you can take your reply and shove It up your fat ass. bitter people trying to make a genuine reply is laughable


Thank you for your valuable response. I will just file that away for you

There, now where were we? In this thread you have accused two people of being bitter. Is this a new catchphrase? An attempt at psychoanalysis? A hip new buzzword?

OR

An effort to project your own woeful insecurities on others?


(Guess which i am backing?)

Looks like you did the best for you, and probably the best for her too. She can't use you as a mental supporter for her way of life this way.

Good choice, really hard one though.

I actively cut off a friendship bit more than ten years ago. I'm still glad I did.

Interestingly, I went to a gem show for the first time a few weeks ago. It was cool. I especially enjoyed the fossils and crystals....although one lady yelled at me for for touching the boulder cracker. Why do you have it out if you don't want people to touch it? Put up a sign....geesh.

I think she just wanted to yell at me cause I'm black.

Anyways...good luck finding friends...for myself, I am working on friendships online since they seem to be the most fruitful for me.
