If I lived closer and you were having a bad day I'd show up with blunts. That's about the only thing I'd find acceptable. If "checking up' means 'blunts'.

When someone has a "meltdown" on the board they know they're taking a big risk. I see these as:
1. Desperate, genuine calls for help/advise/support...whatever the risk. Or...
2. Someone who feels the need to generate attention because he/she feels ignored/left out/not popular, or just lonely.
So, since I don't know for sure, I usually take these meltdowns seriously. Better safe than sorry. I'm sure some ppl have me pegged as a sucker. But fuck them, who cares?


I respect this very much, because I cant be that anymore. I used to. I used to wave down ambulances for junkies puking blood in the street while everyone walked on, I used to be on the phone all night with real-life friends who felt like the last grain of sand was spiraling through the connecting tube of their hourglass. But....I got weary of it. I encountered too many people who ended up just being.......flaky. I cant be any more than vague about what situations I fell into, but they hurt me.

Just the fact that people can be so fickle about life in that way, using things like suicide attempts as obvious reasons for attention...it's a hard one for me. Even if someone seems to be just flailing around and couldnt pull a suicide off, well so they feel hurt enough to really need someone, I can still empathize with that. But when it happens over, and over, and over, and over....like a bad habit, and eventually starts to feel like you are being used not for any benefit at all. I want to be used for good or for help, not for the indulgence of an attention habit.

But I cant anymore. It disturbs me so much that people are really that fucked to the point where they arent really going to kill themselves, but will use it for attention.
I cant handle it. Real trauma, yes. The general nihilistic void of most young people now, no.
Note: this has nothing to do with anything on this board.

Whatever. Fuck off. Boring.

Whew, thank you, sir, you replied. I was beginning to think my posts were so boring that I almost had a curse for killing threads. But you have arrived and saved the thread.

is there any one thing that would really make you explode with a barrage of more than 'fuck off you boring thing' ? I'd like to do that one thing, for you.

^ Don't be surprised if he/she replies with 'boring'.

I wouldn't be..

it does interest me though. Because I think that if she(ha) constaly makes the effort to write how boring they think things are, he has the potential to really engage in something more.

he only ever seems to think that the female posters are boring, though. Not all of them, but I've never noticed a real 'boring' directed at a male poster.

You ever feel that way, too?


When I do, I just put them on ignore for a while. Makes me feel much better.

This, except replace 'blunts' with 'my erect phallus, overflowing with bountiful seed.'

Thanks bro.

I worry about all of you, for no one else on the internets matter.

floatingslowly 12.03.2009 10:10 AM

I worry that I don't have enough neg rep to spread to all the narcissistic twats.

it turns out that I was worrying for nothing.
