What do you think of yourself?

"I'm smart enough, I'm good enough, and, gosh darnit, people like me." Even if it's not true, I'd like to think it is. ;) 

I think I am quite extraordinary, yes.

its quite possible that i might just be the greatest person whoever lived...

...you know, or just one of the billions of people on earth. Same difference. :roll:

I feel erudite while Im alone, but ignorant when Im around others.Swiftstrike5

Close to god-like

maybe like a demi god

its like a equation DOA > X

I wake up every morning and say to myself "Why on earth am I going to college?  I dont belong here, I am a cook at heart and I enjoy physical labor."  Then I get angry and blame society for not giving me a choice on the matter (its either go to school or be a failure nowadays), and then I feel guilty because thats a coward's mentality.

Then I remember my advisor tells me my major is in demand and we get a 60k a year startng salary, and I feel a bit better.  Not much, though.

Wow.  I seriously got issues.  Now that I think about it I should go see the school shrink.  I would too if I didnt have 5 weeks til graduation (just scraped by, too, with a 2.25 GPA woooo!)

I wish people liked me more so i would be invited out to more social gatherings. Instead my computers makes up for that social absence.SaDiZTiKStyLeZ

That sucks dude, I was in a similiar situation when I was younger.  In about 7th grade I started to realize all my friends were actually jerks, and I got in fights and beat up a few people, so that alienated a lot of people and their parents (which is worse, actually).  While I still hung out with them at school, I didnt do much with them afterwards so suffice it to say, 8th grade was a little lonely for me.

Then high school started and I joined the football team.  I found likeminded people there, even bigger guys who I am best friends with 5 years later (lineman pride!).  My point is this: you dont have to be outgoing, just be active.  Join a sports team or some club.  And you dont need a lot of friends and a lot of partying so long as you are happy with a few best friends.

I dont know how old you are, but if youre young and still in school you might want to heed my advice.

I r teh awesome! Seriously, it was scientifically proven.

I havent done sports since i was attacked by a dog and it screwed up my right shoulder. I wish i wouldnt have dropped out of high school, for the social aspect at least. but im sure its no different from being in school now. Oh i dread hearing the teacher announce its time to group up and... im failing because nobody groups with me. Maybe its time to switch majors to something less group oriented. I havent really actively seeked new friends since high school when i tried to befriend someone n he looked at me and said "I don't f-ing like you."

Post from me on another thread:

Man's inhumanity to man is pretty historic.. but I can debate this later.. even from a religious perspective.. (ex: Buddhists believe that man is born good.. that a person will run to grab a child if it is about to fall into a well) (Catholics believe that man is born evil (original sin.. thus the ritualistic cleansing "baptism") )

However you look at life.. your welcome to believe such.

But I believe that human nature is still very much animalistic.. (this is neither good nor evil) but just something we have to "deal" with when things like what happened to me 14yrs ago occur. I am still a bit perturbed that someone did not at least stop and say something like "Are you okay"? but I am not about to go snipe from a tower to display my "rage at humanity". I just go about my business and just shake my head at television broadcasts showing yet more of man's inhumanity.

I mentioned Africa because I recently viewed a podcast by Democracy Now in which they talked for three straight days about Africa.. so it was in my mind.

Also, the Anderson video (which I mention) shows how these terrorists see other human beings.. I know I wouldn't have the nerve to do what he did to that person. To physically "saw" off the head of another human being.. to use a small instrument like a butcher knife to "do the job"... Why not use a axe? Because they wanted to give us a strong statement.. that they will go to whatever lengths to achieve their goals. (BTW, the guy was alive and screaming while this was happening to him)

Edit: Eugene Armstrong was the hostage do a search you will find the video.. just don't watch it on a full stomach

I would alsoedit my original post that most people are "conditional jerks" :)

i do not know the difference between happiness and unhappiness

contentment is all i can know 

"When the sun shines, we shine together!"

No, really, how could you post serious threads in a topic like this?!!? I can tell you who I am but only my friends can judge me.

Hey man I know the feeling. All thru high school I was really pretty much a loney. I had like one friend and she was pretty much a **** but I put up with her anyway since I didn't have much to choose from. I'm not going to go into details about it but after high school I had some weird stuff happen to me that really showed me I had to turn my life around. Got in college, yatta yatta. But the thing I took from it is learning to be social is something that happens one step at a time. I got involved in a writer's group. That made things easier since all I had to do was try and pump out something written like a short story, no matter how abysmal they were(which they were). I started to make the basis of friendships with those people out of that. I started going out to swing dancing societes(basically a bunch of people get together and swing dance and teach new people) with them. I'd say all in all it took about 2 years to build up a social network and it was really slow going but it takes time and patience but it can be done. Don't lose heart man. There's always time and hope. You just gotta take the first step. I wish you the best man =).

What are you thinking!!!!!! Children get on this site and will look that up. That was totally irresponsible. I hope you have the where-with-all to delete your post. 

I wake up every morning happy and excited.  I have a beautiful family, a great job, a roof over my family's head, food on the table, and enough leftover for hobbies/vacations/buying the wifey stuff.  Most of all I feel thankfull though.  If you would have asked me 3 years ago what I thought I might have said scared and maybe even a failure.  I was a young father right out of the military, working as a pizza delivery boy, barely making ends meet.  Worried that I might never get back to school or be able to provide for my family.  Believe me folks, you don't want that feeling hanging over your head.  I feel so lucky to have the support of my wonderful wife, and with her strength i was able to pull it all together and become more successful then I ever imagined.

Moral of the story...go to school and get established before getting married and having kids.  I don't regret my descisions, but looking in hindsight, it's was some of the scariest times.  I guess though these kinds of hardships really shows a person what their made of, and makes them appreciate everything they do have :)

Damn you beat me to it!

Dude, WTF?! :lol:

I, Father

I, Gamer

I, Attorney

First 2 take supercede the third. So when I am a father I am a loving person, when I am a gamer I am an anoying person, when I am an Attorney I am a horrible person, so these mixed up together make me a normal person. (yeah right :lol:)

hey at least I didn't post a link... :P

Also, it does show the "inhumanity".. true the post it a bit out of place since I took it from another thread here in GS.. but I think it shows how "ugly" human nature CAN be. BTW, nice song choice.. I personally like the song "Images" by Chiasm .. don't you?
