There more my age group
Bugger.
But why do I always have to be the last person to know? i hate looking silly all the while and I'm hurting NO ONE by having the same knowledge as everybody else...
If it's something that everybody knows and is necessary for living, then there is NO reason why I shouldn't know. That's the only thing stopping me from being normal like everybody else.
Would I? I doubt it.
I know the steps to take to be normal by default, like everybody else is. i think that is the key for wellbeing for me.
Everyone really is different. Someone will always be better off than you and someone will always be worse off than you. There are no absolutes and I fall into the trap of getting annoyed because I compare myself to other people as well. But the trick is not to, to just focus on you, isolated from everyone else. What do you need etc.
There is knowledge that everybody knows. I don't see why I should be the odd one out. See? This is helping myself. There really IS no reason why I should be the odd one out. I think the only people who prevent me from being so are abnormally sensitive cowards with small penises. Like some of my family. But I don't care, they should simply accept their lot and not whine and moan about everything that is unfair.
Yes. So by stopping being the odd one out is changing myself for the better.
How do you know having a boyfriend will make you happy?
Do you not see the irony in this statement?
Back to the OP's first point, I don't have a boyfriend. All of my housemates are single too. But loads of my other friends have boyfriends. It gets me down sometimes, but relationships don't solve everything. If you don't like yourself, its going to be hard to find someone who will.
Make yourself happy first (without relying on a relationship cos that wont work) and then find someone.
Why am I even typing this? I know you'll ignore every word any of us say because it doesn't fit in with your belief that EVERYONE knows something you don't and EVERYONE else's lives are perfect :rolleyes:
What you need to realise, even if it means you writing it in huge letters above your bed to remind you every morning, is that for a lot of people it takes hard work and dedication to be at the 'same level' as the rest.
Life doesn't owe you a single thing. If you're not willing to do a goddamn thing about your situation then expect a neverending status quo.
That's exactly what I said. You are comparing yourself to other people. Your standards are based on what you perceive other people to have. And it seems to me they are unrealistic really. It's like people who say they're so fat because 'everyone else' is a size 6, by everyone else they mean supermodels. And so on. People focus on other people and then make out that they themselves are inferior in any way possible.
:yeees:
Oh dear...
a widespread misconception is, that these things change, and that you'll love yourself for what you be as soon as you have a gf/bf. It's not true, and I've seen it dozen of times: A partner is not your anti-depressant. I was thinking like you a few years back, but I realized that I can't depend on someone else to make me happy. I don't get it, why people always think a partner will mysteriously let all of their problems disappear.
OK, so there is NO logical reason why I can't be at a mental and perceptual level that everybody else gets immediately? ok...
No it doesn't. No one is saying why I can't be at the same mental level as everybody else is.
I am. That's why I have to be at the same mental level.
Not what I said is it? You perceive a default mental and perceptual level based on everyone else. You judge yourself to be less than that perceived level. There are two glaring issues of whether your perception of others is correct, and whether your judgement or yourself vs others is correct.
But that's besides the point, because my point is that you don't gain anything from comparing yourself to others, holding them up as a measuring stick. I could say, despite being in the top 10% richness in the world (since we live in the UK), that I'm poorer than everyone because I compare myself to millionaires.
The fact is we get what we're given and at the end of the day that's what matters, not what everyone else is like. You have the mental comprehension to use a computer and come on the internet, you're literate, not everyone can say that. Whilst that probably means little to you, again people with boyfriends or whatever else you covet so much probably don't think it makes them instantly superior. Happiness and contentment starts with you. You could be the most brilliant, most admired, richest person in the world with an amazing husband or three, but with your attitude at present you would still be miserable.
Have you ever heard the expression 'you learn by making mistakes'?
Everything I know about 'daily life' as in faux pas or just how to do things, is because I started off not knowing and just did it and normally got it wrong so was corrected. Nobody is born with knowledge.
But like I said, thats not your problem. Some people have more common sense than others. Your problem is your inability to accept what you have and the only thing you can accept is that whatever you do have is not good enough. It doesn't matter if you become a genius, you still wont think you are good enough.
The people with the best developed people skills are the ones who are very social and active.
My god you are dense/stubborn/obtuse.
People don't have ANYTHING by default. Can you not get that into your head?!
No, they don't. Not in the slightest. People learn as they go along.
Well then stop bloody posting, whinging and generally being a pain in the arse. You are being told facts, and yet you dispute them as they don't agree with what you think and as always, bring nothing new to the table.
:mad:
THIS DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST!
THERE IS NO 'EVERYBODY ELSE' WHEN IT COMES TO THIS KIND OF THING!
