Stop looking at all the negative and focus on the positive. If there isn't any positive that you can see, then make a decision to go and make something of yourself and go do something you enjoy doing. If you do that, then you can look at your decision to go do something as a positive part of your life and then you can focus on that, increasing your overall happiness.

Gah. Eh. this is funny. When I was neww here in cB I posted kinda the same thing.

Well my adivce to you is to stop pondering the negatives in your life. Think about all the good things. It helped me.
Get a hobby such as a sport or drawing.<-- Make sure the drawing is not exactly "scary" images. Because it will just make you depressed more. If you know what I mean.
Cutting is not the answer. It doesn't even help and it just hurts phyisically and not only mentally.
I'm religious so I believe pray helps or just as the said meditate in a calm envoriment like a park.

Be friendly. Such as like go over to someone that seems alone too. Talk small talk and see if you guys agree with each other and have a connection.

Pm since you know this happens to me and I know what you are going though. It seems like the end but you know it's the beginning of the end.

Alot of people feel the same way you feel. It just seems your the only one.
Don't make it seem your the only one.

Stop pitying yourself. That's all there is to it.

heh, i know how you feel "/

what i do is that i laugh a lot. i mean dont scare people and just laugh out loud when no one is talking but do it in the friendly way.. ur sure to have friends and girls :)

just dont do anything rash. this period in your life will soon be over and never know what time brings

You dont need to point out your dislike. The whole point is to help him. I know you have the right to expressed yourself, but it's nice to be a bit more consideration, you know? You could had say something plain and simple, not be descriptive about people's problem such as ... " good luck with your mild problem"

You dont know his boat as a 17 years old! He's almost done with high school. He needs help, dont flip him off.


Oh wow. That was so uncalled for. You dont need to compare his depression with someone else.

What do you know about his situation? Understand that he's depressed and had been diffculty socializing for 17 years. It's really the time to get help. What do you expect? You think that's not "much to be depressed about"? Again, it's been 17 years. It's important to built a solid social foundation. At this age, he's late. And .... you think that's not "much to be depressed about ... ". When is the time he'll become social envolved ... when it's "not much to be depressed about".

Everyone is always striving to be better, not to be compared.






You dont think he knows that? Of course finding a women may not be hard for you. You know it takes a good stable social foundation to actually start a relationship.
And, what the heck are you trying to tell him about when he's twenty, becoming emo, and have 5 girlfriends. that is so unnesscery to say that. What's your point?




That's a nice experience to share, but keep in mind that he doesnt have a stable social foudation. He havent experienecd anything like you did back in high school. Basically, he's not an experieced social person.

Do you know people generally find true and pure friends after college?








that's a very good valid point.




"it's not hard to make friends". i'm not sure about his case considering the fact that you have better social abilties, and you're able to attract more friends.

Think positively. If you cut your finger, be happy your finger wasn't cut off. If you get a bad grade on your home work... be happy it's not on your report card. Just think positively. You've gotta learn how to control your brain, not let your brain control you. The human mind is VERY powerful.




Good God, you can't be serious... I'm not even going to bother with this. He's a young man who needs to have more control on his mind and think about all the other millions of people in the world who are much more unfortunate than someone who's depressed.

I guess I'm only using my experience of how I fixed my situation... I just realized my mind was racing at 29384002 miles a minute and I needed to get a grip on my mind and change my mind state. Also I realized that people all over the world are worst off than me.

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna answer all your questions, that would just be foolish of me.

He only wanted an advices, not to be compare. he was describing himself so people can have a better idea of him. What part that you dont understand? it's about him, not other people. why are you so off topic!? You think talking about people's unfortunate is going to help him?

Yes, he is a young man. He needs to have more control. duh. i know that.
He needs help. You think human are easily capable of complete independence?




What the heck are you talking about?



Excuse me. You're already foolish for not stating any rational statements. You're more foolish if you're not going to talk it out.

Wow. You do act like an expert ... AGAIN. What are you, world's best physiologist?

Dude, you're good at acting, not providing proper reasoning.

^

That has to be one of THE biggest emo rants I have ever eyeballed.

Not to sound overtly uncaring but...how about getting off CB and heading down town? Getting out and about - the best cure for any wound is salt. Tears, sweat or the sea.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Yeah, I agree.

I tend not to waste my time on these posts.

But, seriously, get some professional help.

That's the best advice I can give you.


People in CB are NOT TRAINED to help you. I'm sorry, but you just have to face that fact.


And some of us here don't really care, to be honest, because we don't know you.


Also, a lot of the people here are like...14 and don't even know what the hell they're talking about.

I'm 19 soon and still don't know what I'm talking about XD

Just enjoying being followed by Mini here.

...

Seriously, there's something about your arguments that makes me want to sit here all day and type furiously before another poster can interrupt.

Haha, you love me. Just admit it!




So like....original poster, PLEASE GET PROFESSIONAL HELP!

PLEASE, for yourself and the people who care about you (i.e. your parents.)



And if you kill yourself, then well, that's your decision and no one can stop you.

/admits the love and breaks down into a wailing ball of self-pity.

...no offense to the original poster.

But yes. Get help you must.

Hmm I'm a bit confused lol. It's almost like my problems THAT I HAVE STATED are almost deemed to be unworthy of a post, that like someone mentioned people don't really care, not that I'm offended but it's like what's the overall existence of this forum then!!?? It just came across a bit strange.

I just want to say I'm not near killing myself, it was slightly humourous in a non funny way if that makes sense. One thing that does seem to crop up is almost the attitude of if you're depressed your an EMO. Get real, how sad are you lot if you start, well I need not say more just silly.

The reason why I feel sorry for myself, is because I am stuck in a rut that I cannot explain anywhere else but PM. Thanks for the comments though, gives me some food for thought.

Exactly, moron.

That's for the acting comment.

Try to keep your assumptions of me to yourself... trying to figure me out will only piss me off.

That's what I thought. People you need to be careful on what your going to say. What you say has consequences.



Robbi is right. Getting a job or joining a club. There has to be at least a club that your good at. I have a lot of clubs such as art drama etc. You got to talent and try to develop it. Most likely someone would have the same likes as you.

LOL

That's like a cop askin me to refrain from punchin someone after the cop witnessed the person punching me. I'm just not gonna listen. Eye for an eye, that's how I roll.




The problem is... this forum board isn't a place to ask for serious advice unless it's associated with photography, image editing, web development etc...

We have children in this forum as well as adults. No one here is a psychologist nor psychiatrist. We're both immature and mature, we make both serious posts and silly posts. We also have different lives, lifestyles, brought up differently, had different experiences etc... there's never gonna be a 100% agreement.

We mock and disrespect each other and not care about getting off topic when the thread goes to crap to begin with.

Too right.

/disconnects modem.

Eh. I would never say "Suck it up to someone" since you really don't know what life they are actually living in. What you say has consequences. Plus it could be someone look for real advice since no one probably listens. From experience, I know what happens. Please be kind.

I was being kind to the OP... I'm just not gonna be sympathetic. Especially after this post:




Being kind is good, being sympathetic is useless.

why don't you just report him? you seem to be pretty good at it.

Yep I'm pretty good at it as much as anyone else who's capable of clickin, "report".

And from what I can tell, seems like I'm the most hated on this forum, so me reporting seems useless

no, it's a low blow. don't claim you are all man and can back up your battles, if you have to be a pussy about it and have a mod intervention.

Alright guys, enough is enough.

Everyone's had their say and the OP has got some food for thought.
