Life isn't horrible because mommy wouldn't buy you a GI Joe when you were six. I want to call drama to my life so people will care, my life is screwed up. |

I think the world would be a much better place if there were more spicy, barbequed pork rinds to go around!

| punkgrrrlie10 | I don't think avoiding other people's problems is the answer, b/c then you don't have friends. Everyone has problems. It's realizing that from a stand point of eternity, none of them are as big as they seem and everything works out eventually. Running away just means you can't handle life as opposed to facing them all and taking them on. That is the meat of life. | |||||

| Ninjavenom | Unless i'm once again realizing why i hate someone or why i should stop trying to draw things, life is generally rather snazzy. Just ignore things that don't affect you directly, and try to avoid other people's problems, and you should be golden. Being a nice guy never hurts, either, but life is a lot easier to appreciate when you're an art fag. 8-) | |||||

I'm glad I helped you fix your problems. If you ever need additional support, feel free to ask  Just remember that I now own your soul. Oh, and do you want serious advice? I had poor self-esteem until the middle of this summer - consciously, I thought highly of myself, but everything about my attitude told me there was something wrong with me, and I always felt I was inferior to everyone else in some way. A lot of the problem was that I spent a lot of time deprecating myself because I didn't want to seem arrogant - I know now this was a mistake. Anything negative you say about yourself, even if it's a joke (unless you're being sarcastic and saying something blatantly untrue), will damage your self-image. So stop doing that. The other thing I did may not sound like a good idea to you or others, but it's what worked for me: I just started looking down on everyone. I didn't act superior or treat them poorly, but I told myself, "look at him, I'm obviously better than him," "that guy on TV might be successful but he's in a really worthless profession," "wow, that dude's ugly, I'm much better looking." These days I love myself to the point of narcissism and sociopathy - consider that a negative thing if you want, but it works for me, I'm healthier and happier than I ever have been and none of my relationships have suffered. |

Let's play cut and paste, where you take what everyone has said in this thread and rearrange it so people will get the point more easily. The issue: Quote:

| Immortal Goat | Well, what is your definition of "success"? Whatever it is, it is only yours to achieve, no one else's. As for the "making fun" part, I have learned to deal with it in different ways. I used to take it to heart, thinking that my life sucked, and the only way out was suicide (granted, I was only 12, but still). I used to believe everything people said about me. I used to take insults about me and my family personally. That was then, this is now. NOW I look at these jokes and I can laugh at them, because I know they are not true, and actually pretty funny. It takes the fun out of it for those insulting me, and I don't get upset by it. I do not expect you to master this overnight, because it took me years to figure out myself, but I hope that you are able to look past the minor details that make your life difficult and see the amazing thigs around you that make life worth living. | |||||

You can rationalize or irrationalize unhappiness all you want. It doesn't make a difference as we are human and circumstances and events are going to make us unhappy. Its like convincing yourself that monsters don't exist when your alone in the woods at night. You may know there is no reason to be unhappy, but that doesn't make you happy. Its what makes life worth living though. Our being human is the only thing that keeps sentience from destroying our minds. Sadness, happiness, anger, hunger and the like are all things we'll always experience and sometimes crave even when we know everything about them. Sadness will go away the day we are no longer human. |

What about those people who attain happiness by helping the plights of others? And why hasn't anybody made a comment like "religion gives people hope" or some shit like that in response to my first post in this thread

Wow. Vinth climbs out of his depression pit for that? To state that unless you're gay you like people getting killed? In any case, depending on what you mean, Pgirl, I think life is great, in the larger sense. Do you mean life at all (great) Human existance (brief, painful, but still great) the speciffic lives of individuals as percieved by themselves ( a question with as many different answers as there are people) or the life of speciifc individuals, say for the sake of argument Vinth (awful)? |
