MrMistborn he/him Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I am just so sick and tired of the people I have to deal with on a regular basis. I'm just so sick and tired of the fact that I am constantly the butt of all manner of rude comments, jokes and everything in between, just because I have different interests to those of the "cool kids", who are frankly nothing but shaved apes who care only for sport and those of the female gender. And then, when I finally have someone in our class who i can talk to, all i receive are comments on our apparent gay feelings for each other, simply because we occasionally discuss books! 4
azninvasion99 he/him Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Wow, I've become a regular here. That's fun. You know what the biggest problem I've had with moving has been? Talking. I don't have anybody to talk to. If I don't know you, I can't say a word, but if I do, I can chatter your ears off with stuff about the latest from NASA or a monologue on the amazingness of pants or some kind of essay on why I think girls' pant pockets are so much smaller than guys'. My friends are well over a thousand miles away, and the last of my siblings is at college now. I'm by myself, and I don't have someone to talk to. I keep seeing opportunities to crack jokes or spout some random bit of trivia, but I've got no one to aim it all at. Hugs, please? This is exactly how I've felt since I moved. People think I'm just this reclusive person and yes, I am a little shy but once I know you, I'll talk your ear off. Especially if we have some sort of common interest. I just feel so out of place living where I live. Hugs! We will get through it. 2
DreamEternal Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) I'm having to spend a lot of time dealing with someone who I feel is being condescending, doesn't quite respect normal social boundaries, and offers unwanted comments and advice. Ouch. That person sounds like how I sometimes feel others see me when I speak to them without thinking and say something I shouldn't. Are you sure that person isn't just clueless? Some people just don't notice how others feel about what they do and are obnoxious by accident. EDIT: Of course some people are just arrogant, but one should never judge someone as guilty without knowing the whole tale. Edited November 12, 2015 by CognitivePulsePattern

Nobody did anything. Even the nerds at my school ignore me. I'm alone. Hugs to you, its the least I can do. 1

Delightful Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Yeah. That's my strategy. It doesn't work. I'd join. Ooh. I'm sorry. Don't have any other suggestions to offer right now :/
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 he and others think he's funny. I think he's downright disrespectful. That's super frustrating. If everyone thinks he's being disrespectful, then he's shunned as a jerk; but if you're the only one who sees his disrespect as such, you get shunned as someone who hates fun. And the thing is, if you think he's being disrespectful, chances are good he is, at least on some level. But with a bunch of people surrounding him and telling him he's hilarious, he's probably unlikely to recognize his disrespect as such. I….don't have any advice here, since the only thing I know to do in those situations is ignore it or walk away, so just take my condolences.
Delightful Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks Twi Walking away isn't an option here, but at least other people don't think he's super hilarious; they just think he has a weird sense of humour. And I'll probably only have to deal with him for a short while at least. Deep breaths, and oh my goodness I am ready for weekend.
+Slowswift Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 We should make a club. The Lonely Chatterboxes Club. Or something. I'm definitely qualified. Maybe a bit too much. 2
MrMistborn he/him Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Far across the ocean in desolate 'straya, the lonesome yet chatty Max hears the words...... "A club? For lonely chatter boxes? I have finally found my one true calling in life!" 1
Kasimir he/him Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 ...My scientific calculator has been laid to rest today, after 11 years of faithful service :/ Rest in peace, bro. You will be missed. 3
Mistrunner Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I'd join. I'm definitely qualified. Maybe a bit too much. Far across the ocean in desolate 'straya, the lonesome yet chatty Max hears the words...... "A club? For lonely chatter boxes? I have finally found my one true calling in life!" ...it's a thing!If we want to actually start this, are we thinking more of social guild or group PM discussion?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 If it's a thread, I'll spam it with pugs. 2
Mistrunner Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I'm down for either.I think the big question is of whether we want more people joining, or if we want to keep it all to ourselves forever and ever.Honestly, we could do both.
Silverblade5 he/him Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 I'm having to spend a lot of time dealing with someone who I feel is being condescending, doesn't quite respect normal social boundaries, and offers unwanted comments and advice. Others I am around do not feel the same about said person. It's incredibly frustrating and I feel rather like an angry caged lioness who has to sit and stay inside and perform for the visitors at the zoo or she won't get her dinner. Aaaaagghhhhhh So... You're dealing with me then?
Left he/him Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 My younger sister deleted my saves in the video game I've been playing for the past couple weeks. I was maybe two thirds through, 30 hours in. I.....I'm honestly too tired to be that angry, but there's a part of me that wants to be raging at her. I'd asked her multiple times before I bought the game if she wanted to split it with me, and she always said no. But since I got it, she's played it almost more than I have. She's been really rude about it too, and it's been a huge button for me for s while. I know she didn't mean to delete my saved, but...that carelessness.... I should go to bed. It's been s long week. 3
