@shannon_164 thank you so much shannon. You really don't understand how much that means to me. And you are an amazing person, using all your life struggles, all that hardship and turning it into something positive to help others. Again, amazing.
@DonnerKebab yh definitely I used to watch it all the time but jeremy clarkson got sacked so it went down hill from there, others took over but it was never the same. I was never allowed to get grand tour where he went after.
yeah, awesome stuff. It was always that trio that made top gear what it was.
@DonnerKebab all sounds cool. It was just clarkson who got sacked.
Trigger warning mentions of violence
Great trio though definitely. Are you into cars that much? Seems like you are.
@Redemption Hammond and May both quit following Clarkson getting sacked and left with him. May said he thinks he's a nob but he quite likes clarkson and it's very much a group thing between the three of them. if one gets sacked, the rest follow out the door.
And yeah, i'm a fair bit of a car guy. I mainly watched it for the trio, but i learnt a fair few things about cars along the way.
@DonnerKebab yh I heard about all that.
That's good I thought you were just going along with me waffling on about them.
I just went for a drive and came home about 20 minutes ago and the police are here like woah
im doing good. i figured out how to use my debit card to make online purchases. so obviously the first thing i had to get was a youtube membership to one of my favourite youtube channels. @DonnerKebab
They sound like the bullying type, to go for those already struggling.
@toffuna101 awesome stuff. Which channel was it if you don't mind me asking?
@Redemption yeah don't worry mate. I'd say if i didn't know anything and was just going along with you.
What happened for the police to show up? Did that car get hit or something cause it looks dented?
im not sure if im allowed to share because ive commented on this youtube channel several times on a personal account and i dont want people to find out my real name. @DonnerKebab
thanks. how was your day? @DonnerKebab
@DonnerKebab cool. nah false call, it wasnt to do with me or that car. I thought it was me though, like my family reported me missing to them or some shit like its happened before, I was at my mate Andy's house and they rang his dad asking where I am and shit so extremely embarrassing coz I was 20 as well. Similar stuff has happened to like I was late home from college once and they were about to call the police and everyone panicking and shit like its so embarrassing this stuff.
no problem.
@DonnerKebab yh its annoying like if I was missing for like around 24 hours no contact fine but they literally did after half an hour to an hour plus. Even then they were panicking a little saying where am I like theres school kids out and all that all the time yet when I go out that happens. Tbf its not so bad now like the police visiting was to our house but it was nothing to do with me or thar car. My overthinking I feel has been bad at my course Im just questioning, "am I doing that wrong? Am I doing this wrong?" I'm scared the staff say stuff badly about me and laugh at me when I go home I come across like I have a problem and scared what people think of me, every little mistake I overthink, I'm worried about being judged, I have all of that in general like if my friends don't respond to me I start jumping to conclusions like they don't like me or if they leave me on seen I start to worry. I'm just scared I'm getting judged negatively by everyone. Really people leaving me on seen, it just can be some people's nature, they don't know what to say etc, personally I think it's best to use communication but not everyone is me like everyone does stuff differently, even if someone does ignore it is not necessarily anything to do with me, especially as I have done nothing wrong like its probably not like most people would probably say if they had an issue with me if there was one or maybe block me or something which doesn't really happen. It's probably most if not all of the time just me overthinking like same with my course if I'm coming across that bad id get a word etc or kicked off the course if I've done anything that bad. That's kinda another small fear I get scared of doing something with no intention and getting kicked off because it's happened before I got kicked out of college years ago for no reason literally no valid reason, I got kicked off a forklift course and had loads of setbacks, Ive had staff who I thought were genuine laugh at me before in college, its kind of hard to trust people and believe people are genuine. Anyway sorry for rambling so long bro.
@River did you have that chinese?
@Redemption don't apologise it's all good bro. This is a place to vent. It's normal in those circumstances to develop a fear of messing up, and doing something wrong. And with setback after setback, it'll definitely make things worse for that. But what matters is your taking action to overcome it. it doesn't mean it's not there, but you're overcoming it bit by bit. The confidence building course is the perfect example. Keep fighting on bro. keep overcoming that fear cause your doing well.

Thanks so much @DonnerKebab I'll be all good
