Slack jaw gaze Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It took me forever to learn that it's better to be alone than to hang out with false friends. Many years were ruined and wasted because I kept hanging out with creeps, assholes, and narcissistic dooshbags, who had no integrity or honor. Better to have a handful of real friends - or even no friends - than a lot of false ones.Like this....... :) Is it OK to correct the two errors in the picture designed to look like it was carved in stone?

Brucey Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well I'm still trying to learn to not care about what people think of me, and stuff of a similar ilk - but no such luck as of yet - :sigh: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's something you can change then I would suggest doing it. I haven't been able too and it's lousy when you care what people think even when you barely know them too. It's like I want to say f**k'em but I can't........ :sigh: Edited February 3, 2014 by Narpzilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This aptly explains my choice of Avatar.I understand totally. I have never even had a shouting match with another person that I can recall. I have never been in a fight either. I would prefer to walk away than have any altercation. Just like the disagreement in the other thread made me feel weird. I don't like and will avoid all confrontation...... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This aptly explains my choice of Avatar. Reminds me of a friend of mine who have social anxiety. But everybody feel that way, some are just better at dealing with it than others. If it's any help then try to picture in your mind a football field; what you do is on your end of the field, and what others do is on the other end of the field. They have nothing to do with each other. If you are honest and sincere in how you are, then what happens on the other end of the field is not your problem but theirs. Maybe a stupid analogy, but it has helped me tremendously :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be seeing someone tomorrow who's supposed to help with this sort of thing (10 sessions in total, half an hour each), so hopefully in, say, a couple of months time I'll stop being a shy little hermit with little motivation to do anything!

I'm seeing a therapist to deal with grief and a bunch of other personal stuff, and after 7 sessions I'm a totally different person and I have never been this confident in myself. I'm happy for you that you are going to make an effort to be a better you. That's pretty motivated if you ask me ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
