I dunno, but you sound like an asshole and an idiot. Refreshingly honest though.

Guess what? I feel like the happiest person alive. Every damn day. Sure, I've got a few troubles here and there. But that's life. I'm just glad I'm alive and being able to accomplish different things. I know that sounds a wee bit faggy, but that's just how I am. I'm one positive mofo.
YOU'RE ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD!

But seriously, I like your outlook.

I just learned to quit whining if your life sucks. Everyone's life sucks to some degree, so very few people care that yours does too. Plenty of people are untalented and ugly in high school, sometimes you grow out of it, sometimes you don't. If you don't, well, you're out of luck. Life may be just a dream, but you have to understand it's not fair either.

Besides, if you're fat, I already don't like you. There have been some awesome fat people in history, but you're probably not going to be one of them.

We all make our tradeoffs. I'm devilishly handsome and I can cook, but I got a short temper, smoker's lungs, a complete lack of math, science, and reading comprehension skills, jealousy, a tendency to steal when I need money, and I live for nothing other than to make a quick buck and live long enough to spend it.

Actually, I think it works exactly the way they want it to at first. Most people, when meeting some self-deprecating soul will show basic human courtesy and over-compensate in the compliments department in an effort to bolster ... ummm? ... the whiner's self-esteem. After a long time is spent by the low self-esteemer in honing their skills to the point where getting the desired result is child's play, said compliments ring quite hollow.

It's not just the image... being active in and of itself acts like a stress-reliever. That said, you have to be satisfied with the way you are to be happy, and your image is a big part of that.

Geggy I'm sensitive when it comes to humor. I laugh uncontrollably whenever I see anything that I find amusing. It has gotten me into trouble few times in the past, especially getting kicked out of classes for laughing at the teacher for no reason. I find people (espcially the angry people) who are being themselves without attempting to be funny a lot more amusing than those who tries to be funny. The point is that it used to make me feel bad about it and I'd go on a guilt trip for laughing at the person. I'd hate myself for it. I used to view it as a serious issue I had to deal with right away. But then I realize it's the way I am and if their feelings are hurt by the sound of my laughter, well then I don't give a fuck!

jin I like you. ;o

marmielake turn the hatred outward, towards society

you can be like the unibomber
Jul 11th, 2005 01:57 AM
maggiekarp Well, see, that's something I'm worried about, that I'll be a self-hating pile of sadness no matter what I look like.

Dropping a few pounds couldn't hurt, though.

sadie yah! focus on image! all the "beautiful" people in the world are completely and utterly happy! rainbow vision and shit!

sethomas' happiness thread in the philosophy forum fits here.

marmielake i want a tuxedo shirt
Jul 11th, 2005 12:19 AM
The One and Only... Maggiekarp, you remind me of the way I used to be. The answer is an active lifestyle and dieting. Losing weight will boost your self-esteem enormously. And the better you start to feel about your own image, the better you will do in all your endeavors. Even with my occasional breakdowns, my life is far more satisfying than it ever was before.

You don't have to want to be a narcissistic fuckwit to take my advice. Trust me: if anyone knows, I do.

marmielake no, i wasnt saying that you were, i was just saying that when a girl makes self depricating remarks, its most likely to get compliments from guys.
