Nah man, the thing you like just isn't liked by everyone, and some people want to let you know that and they may or may not realize that how they say it might sound rude.
(EDIT: I posted this before I saw your post in the Vent/Help thread, so now I feel super bad. I didn't realize that it was really bothering you, I didn't see the fuller picture. I'm really sorry if I sounded insensitive.)
(EDIT2: And like, I don't know if I should delete this comment or not because, then (if your anything like me) your imagination will start coming up with all the terrible things that I might've originally said and it might be worse than what was actually said.)

I feel like ya gotta have more trust in yourself.
It makes sense that you don't have much self-confidence if you were always made to feel… more like your opinion is not important. It might not seem like much, but that kind of thing slowly chips away at one's self-worth.
You seem like a genuine, caring person. You can still care about others and be confident. In fact, you'll be able to help others even more by feeling more confident. Confidence is not cockiness.
I need to find a way to wipe that clean. Get a new perspective. Or.... Just leave it the way it is.
...Well, I'm going to assume that's what you've been doing your whole life, I could be wrong, but has it benefited you in any way?
From your other post: To be honest, I'm sure he wasn't trying to be that way. He's diagnosed with ADHD, which made it tough for him to concentrate on single subjects for more than a few moments.

I'm not at all! I HATED this show badly. I mean I really didn't understand the point of(like the concept)the Rebels. I cheer more towards th… moree empire rather than just watching Rebels give this inspiring speech(it wasn't inspiring at all to me very underwhelming cause you know Disney loves Rebels more than the Empire)to fight off the Empire.
Like I now understand why China REALLY hates Rebels or literally any sort of concept of glorifying the Rebels coming from Disney. Like I have feeling that China and Asian markets cheer more and lean towards the Empire.
FighterZ. Far Cry 5 looks great but there are plenty of games just like it or similar to it for much cheaper. I've put 100 hours into FighterZ now and I've never played anything like it. It's fantastic and it's especially fun if you're an OG Dragon Ball fan. Z and Super fans get some love too but the original Dragon Ball has a heavy influence here.
EDIT: i responded to the wrONG COMMENT FUCK.

Seems to be strongly slanted towards DBFZ so I might check that out sometime. I'm usually not a Dragon Ball/Anime kinda guy, but DBFZ seems like it would scratch my 3v3 fighter itch.

Most of all your happiness should be top priority no matter what. Please do whatever it takes to make yourself happy. Only you can decide what that entails.
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, it's not always as easy as saying "Hey, I wanna be something different today" and change the way your mind works to make you how you wanna be. But I may have found the problem. I put it in the Venting Thread, but basically I looked back through my memories and saw where this behavior began and what were the things that enforced this behavior. Now... I need to cut these ties to my subconscious, believe that this isn't what everyone is like. But jeez, it's hard to break a habit of thinking that I've had for more than half my life.
It is possible to strike a balance between the the two extremes. You can continue to be altruistic while still having the confidence to put … moreyour foot down and say what's on your mind. Confidence doesn't have to be without restraint and humbleness doesn't mean you can never act for yourself. Selfishness isn't an inherently bad thing; there are many times where it is important to think of yourself for your own wellbeing. When you have the right amount of confidence and responsibility you will be able to choose what thoughts you feel are worth expressing and decide who is deserving of the help you can give.
Most of all your happiness should be top priority no matter what. Please do whatever it takes to make yourself happy. Only you can decide what that entails.
No no I know It's not going to be an instantaneous change nor that it's possible to just dismiss years of conditioning overnight. I just wanted to show that I'm rooting for you on your path towards tackling the issues that are causing you to feel this way. I believe that you can do it, even if it might take some time and effort.

Fine, I'll use English. BS, ya buzzkill.
So, I'm alive still.
Seriously though. So, I've went through a rough time. I've spent the first month or two in denial and almost literally living here while not at work. There was an unhealthy period of time where I was, honestly, reading EVERY post on this forum. Mods could attest to this. Life, then, came crashing down and hard. At first, I was ignoring all my problems and just kept trucking on, pushing myself forward, like a "good" stereotypical German male. Eventually, problems caught up with me, as everything I let go, started to weigh and hurt me.
I have a long, sad, history of depression and other mental illnesses. I've spent ten years of my life(past, not current) in therapy and being legally drugged to the gills. I know my issues and how to productively deal with them. I did not post in the vent/help thread simple because I know my issues and how I'm supposed to deal with them. I was simply avoiding them and hoping I could move on to what I envision as a normal life. I do urge others to share their pain and issues and pursue professional help if needed. There is nothing wrong with that. Chances are, if you're here regularly, you have some issue weighing on you. There is nothing wrong with that.
When I was a kid(we're talking around the early 90's), it was taboo to have a mental health issue. When I was a teen, it was 1/10. When I became an adult(around 2000), it was 1/5. What is it now? 1/2? All I'm trying to say is that I encourage people to seek help. It doesn't necessarily mean to call up a psychiatrist. Most people just need to recognise their problems and find a way to keep going.
I have a fist-full of issues, yet, I'm a manager at a major company, making a livable income, with a handful of close, good, friends. While I do not feel lucky or privileged, In hindsight, I am. I am lucky and fortunate. This is all I'm going to say on the matter. I really dislike talking about the subject and seeming "weak", but, I hope that this helps somebody. You're also not "weak" for needed someone.
I'm going to post this in the help thread. As an adult, well WELL past my school years, I think an adult perspective would be good as well.
it's recommended you play the first game as there's a lot of story context in it and gameplay wise, at least in my opinion, it's a far better game. but required? not really. any human with a brain will be able to understand what's going on through context given in the opening of the game. the rest of the story is super good and well written so it works as a standalone regardless. personally though i just suggest playing the first game before 2.

I've noticed some odd site glitches on mobile.
A few OPs of threads trail off the screen to the right, though I can still scroll that way to see the whole post.
Thanks. They say "you are your own worst enemy" and that is very true in my case. I just needed to say something. There are times where I'm a complete dick to people. That, includes on here. I just felt that I should explain that a bit. I do suffer from clinical depression. That means that it pops up without rhyme or reason. I could be texting my bff, while watching my favourite show and chowing down on sweets, yet still want to disappear off the face of the Earth. Besides that, I also project my mood onto others. I can be a very toxic person in that regard.
I don't want sympathy and to be honest, I was completely hammered last night when I posted that. That's kind of the way it goes. Liquor is my truth serum. Have a bunch of drinks and you can ask me anything. I don't regret it though. I think it is good. Someone whom has been here for a very long time, whom seems fairly normal(albeit a bit of a jerk sometimes), actually does struggle with his own demons, and is able to pick himself up and carry on. I know that when I was a kid, as some people here are, it felt pretty hopeless. So, I was basically wanting people to know, first hand, that it's not and it gets better.
You learn to deal and while there are still bad days, you have good ones too.
hell yea my dude. it's definitely one of my favorites of 2017. have you seen the director's other works? he has a really fantastic movie titled "tangerine" and it's shot completely on an iPhone 5. i definitely recommend it if you liked the florida project.
So I just got back from a week long vacation in Sedona, Arizona with my family. Beautiful weather all 7 days we were there, temperatures ranged from the high 60’s to the low 70’s, and I got 5 rounds of golf in during that span. We fly back into New Jersey today, and guess what I have to do as soon as I get home? I had to shovel snow out of our driveway because we got a huge snowstorm while we were away. Fuck you New Jersey, I want to go back to Arizona.
I also watched it yesterday and I was on the verge of tears in the end. The kids were absolutely great, their acting is phenomenal. Bobby was a very sympathetical character. Also I felt bad for Halley because she might be irresponsible and bitchy but she loved and genuinely cared for her daughter Such a heartbreaking movie.
It’s my first night back at college, and I go to get dinner at my school’s student center. Now the food at my school isn’t great to begin with, but I can’t say I’ve had any health problems with it. I order a chicken patty sandwich and take it back to my dorm. Not really thinking twice, I start eating it, not until I’m 90% done do I see mold on the bottom bun, right where I bit into it. I’m going to have to have a word with the management tomorrow.

I feel bad for you, I've already experienced something similar, I bought food at my school and I was eating it, the taste wasn't so great but I dont like to waste food, until I started feeling really bad, I throwed the rest in the trash. It was friday and I ended up sick the whole weekend.
