What made you unhappy today? v2.0

[King Malachite]

Throat irritation

[Jamie D]

I just took some pics and realized how ugly I am. It's not like I didn't know it before... but one can hope as long as they don't see the evidence.

Let me be blunt, and give Cindy something to do ...

BULLPOOP!!

I have told this first class idiot that he looks really good in those pics. I have seen them. He knows damn bloody well that he is my friend and I will not lie to him. If he was ugly I would tell him.

He has a very happy friendly open loving face that makes you want to talk to him.

He is a big guy but a good looking big guy. AND NERO YOU AREN'T FAT.

If you continue with those negative bull->-bleeped-<- thoughts I will brand you with a negative comment.

Geex some guys don't get it.

YOU ARE A GOOD LOOKING GUY.

[Shantel]

There you go Nero, you can't argue with the consensus of many who see you as the cool guy you really are!

Nero, I'm not going to go the route of the others and tell you you're not ugly (since I haven't actually seen pictures of you).

Instead, I'll encourage you not to try to evaluate your looks. Looks are superficial, and have zero to do with worth as a human being. This is one of the advantages of being male - in most circles plain looks are not any kind of a handicap. We judge males by their competence and their contributions.

There is not a lot of good that's going to come out of trying to figure out whether you look ugly or not.

It's been a while since I've seen a pic of you (I think you had one as an avatar some time ago).

If you still look anything similar to that image, you're far from ugly. But I'll tell you what, PM me a pic and I'll let you know.

I'd like to see Nero's pictures also 

Right now I'm just trying to cope with the various issues that often get me down and not doing real well with it but don't want to sound like a broken record or be a downer on others

I'll send you the video version. You might want to prepare a stiff drink first.
And i'll listen to your broken record.

Somebody close to me was having a bad day yesterday and said some things to me that made me feel pretty much worthless even though I don't think she actually meant it.  Now, not only did it affect me yesterday, but today I still feel depressed and it's going to probably continue for a while.  I can't remember the last time I felt this way or cried because I felt sorry for myself and it makes me feel pathetic kinda.

It stinks that words have that much power. That they can pull all the happiness and hope I had for so long right out from under me.   Words don't change reality, how can they change the way I see it?

Until recently I had exactly two friends* who would visit me at my house. My roommate came home angry the other day after paying money to watch a Blazers v Lakers game that went badly. He was super snippy with me and told me my friend was sketchy and annoying and shouldn't be here. My roommate has calmed down since but I've not had my friend back and I'm afraid to let anybody else visit.

People can do serious damage with words when they're angry.


*the other friend was new to me and stopped visiting after we had an uncomfortable discussion following his mention of the "negress" who lives next door. His comments - when I gently pointed out that I was raised around black people and would prefer not to stigmatize them - included "now that they have a president they think they can do whatever they want." After that night we stopped hanging out and I'm okay with that. Isolation is better than being around mean people.

That's a bit of a digression and dragging the attention back to me but really it's okay to not enjoy other people's behavior sometimes.

"now that they have a president they think they can do whatever they want."

Heh, just like white people did for the 219 years between 1789 and 2008!

With a sore throat coming up on me during the night and now more symptoms showing up, I think I'm going to spend my couple days off sick. That sucks.  And also seeing the direction that topic went in, its kind of disappointing, especially since I don't think they even realize that they are acting like those that put them down, not a good way to boost one's self confidence in my opinion.

Which topic, hon?

Sorry to hear about your throat. Do you use that throat spray?

I just called to explain to a bill collector that they had my name wrong, they had the college I went to wrong, and also that my loans are supposed to be in deferment. I had spoken to a dept of education person recently who explained that they thought I was ineligible for deferment because I attended college in 1992, which is silly as I was born in 1981. They said they fixed it though.

The guy on the phone was mean and really nasty to me about my name change and really nasty about how much money I make and why am I not paying. I don't owe them anything because my loans are in deferment.

I'm a wuss and I'm falling apart now. I feel worthless. I hate people. I hate everything.

I will say that the dept of ed people were really nice. They made a simple mistake.

My girl friend broke up with me

That sucks. *hug*

I've got a cough, and Uni is due to start back on Monday. 

[Edge]

I wish I didn't let people affect me so much. I'm still very angry at this one even though a week has passed.

[Phoeniks]

I just hate this life right now. Or the lack of a life and a correct body, more likely. I know I'm probably just very tired and all and "just need to pull myself together" etc but... I just feel horrible and keep thinking why did I of all people have to experience this. I literally keep thinking that the day I need to tell my parents about this could very likely be the day when they don't want to see me ever anymore, and I'm just horrified.
On the bright side, this too shall pass. I haven't felt this bad for about a month, after all. Tomorrow will bring light and more courage and optimism. (It would be nice to be less melodramatic with this, too. I'd love to be able to chill and not stress but obviously I can't. )

[supremecatoverlord]

I shaved and I really don't like how it looks.

[DeeperThanSwords]

Hugs to everyone who's having a hard time.
