Let us bitterly contemplate our failures

Planning ahead of time is for over-achievers and people that get paid for what would result.

Now THAT my dear friends, is quotable, siggable and something to live your life by.

Also I’m sort of late here but my love life sucks, the wrong girls get the impression I like them.

I cant tell you how many times a slimy guy waltzed up to me at a bar. EEWW!

But for those that would like to add a bit of a challenge to their life, I would offer [the ‘five-point plan’]

Point one and two tend to be key.

What is your take sassy? In looking at your girlfriends, what typically does it for 4 out of 5 of them?

I don’t mean strangers but friends, I don’t know why, I just try to be a nice guy and all but some seem to think I like them. It’s just that I’m not interested in them.

You forgot point 6: Be a Raminator.

It would be nice if you could not judge me as you don’t know me at all.

I’m just stating that I’m extremely unmotivated most of the time, even though I wish I was. It’s something I wish I could change, but being unmotivated doesn’t make that very easy; it’s a vicious cycle.

I can understand it’s hard to relate to if you don’t have it yourself, but please don’t tell me to stop being a lazy bum and not to waste the opportunities I have, because I’m not.

Must have misunderstood then :wink: I’m not sure any punishment is in order though.

The ADD thing was just a little side note. I’ve considered the possibility that I have it for a while now, and the few people I’ve told about it have agreed that I might.
And after looking at the symptoms on wikipedia (yes I know, it’s not a reliable source for diagnosis) I seem to have nearly all the symptoms for predominantly inattentive ADHD.

Anyway, I’ll stop bothering you with this now :wink:

My love life sucks as well. I’ve seen the same as someone else pointed, where all the assholes are the ones getting the girls, whereas I’m lucky to get a female friend. And whenever I get a girlfriend she almost always cheats on me with at least one person and leaves me for them.

And finding someone else is extremely difficult because no one ever wants to give me a chance because I’m not the greatest looking.

Low self-esteem ftl.

Hey apparently I show the exact signs of having a split personality. :fffuuu:

Be careful not to elaborate and further distinguish it.

Time to get shot down and be pissed upon.

In my humble opinion, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, etc. aren’t disorders at all. They’re terms, used by bad parents to cover up for their lack of disciplinary education for their children. When I grew up, I never even heard those words, but then the massive boost in gaming (release of the Playstation, pretty much, maybe the SNES (though that wasn’t as popular over here)) and the arrival of mainstream internet came, kids started slacking off and parents didn’t do shit about it. Kids started doing bad in school, parents still didn’t do shit about it, so they resorted to the last option, make excuses… “Oh, my kid has a disorder. It’s all fine.”

Kids got lazy, parents got shit, excuses were made.

Doing pretty bad at university. I’ve failed so many subjects that I’m taking 5 years to complete a 4 year degree. I’ve considered changing to a different degree but I’ve come so far now, it would all seem a waste. Also having trouble finding a place to get vacation work (which is a requirement for my degree) because of my poor marks.

Also, don’t really consider this a failure but I’m a virgin and never had a girlfriend. I have female friends but I’ve never been in a relationship. Never really seen the need to.

I’d like to vote for you in the upcoming English elections :slight_smile: , please tell me you’ll stand?

I’m not British :<

doesnt matter, 3/4’s of my humble little country aint lol

Kids were also brought up in the wrong way, their parents rebelling against their own parents` authority decided to never punish their own kids for doing something bad. Pretty much fucked them up really good.

if you want to see where things went wrong, watch how policing should be done through Life on Mars (Not the average US one), there was a section of a show I was watching the other day about how kids dont respect the services, in one case they let down the tires of an ambulance while it was outside someones house, the kids spit at them, throw bricks, all sorts, its horrendus, and the reason they do this? because the services cant do nothing back. In the glory days, they could clobber 'em, but now “oh no” you do that and I’ll sue you, and get you arrrested? WTF seriously, if a policemen hits you and you tell your folks, your folks should hit you too, for embrassing them. Kids need to learn respect! Throw out the excuse book and the “you cant do that cause ill sue you” mentailty, and things, won’t be perfect, but they will be better

Violence against kids is also frowned upon. I don`t know - if my son would be brought home by the police because he let down the tires of an ambulance in front of a house, I would whack his fuckin face right in front of the officers, and tell them that next time they catch him doing something like that, they can beat the shit out of him for all I care. As long as he is not permanently damaged physically, I would want them to teach him a lesson in pain.

So he feels what the patient felt when the ambulance couldn`t get him to hospital immediately.

Tell that to the people with ADHD I know that can’t be quiet for one second, constantly move around and are generally pretty fucking annoying.
It’s not an excuse. Those people I know do well at school.
I also know someone with dyslexia, he also does well at school.
