mindfucker should count as an anomaly though
Indeed. I frequent both, though the community here is a tad more accessible than SE++.
I thought it would be entertaining to start a thread of a similar sort here, and the title was so clever I couldn’t help but re-use it.
Oh i don’t know, where all pretty fucked up here.
You might even find yourself to be above average there 
For those of us that find passion or motivation a gift we are without, you may find the now cancelled show “dead like me” rather interesting. Georgia Lass is a college dropout that finds life rather dull, uninteresting and she finds it hard to get motivated about ANYthing.
Then she is killed by a toilet seat falling from the space station, and is promptly told in her ghostly state that she is now a grim reaper whether she likes it or not. She grows accustomed to her new job as she comes to grip with the fact that her worthless life is gone. Wishing and wanting it back wont do her any good, but she does learn how to work with what she has. Part comidy, part morbid curiosity, part drama, part hilarity.
A facinating show that I threw tantrums over when I heard they cancelled it. But it helped me stop pissing and moaning about my life.
I can also recommend reading Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, preferrably all those with Death and his granddaughter Susan as the protagonists.
I sincerely doubt I will ever laugh as hard as I did when I read this again.
I feel bad being almost in the same situation as you guys, the ones who could finish school easily if given the minimal amount of effort…
See, the case with me is I try as hard as I can in school, and I usually make all A’s except for in math. I pretty much mentally put a gun to my head about math and trying my best. And I take a fuck ton of notes in it, but it just doesn’t click.
Easier said than done
It is when you don’t have any motivation at all.
Motivation: Getting off your lazy arse because you fuckin owe it to all who haven’t got the chance of achieving what you could easily do - by stopping to whine about how life is not crapping gold on your head and starting to actually do homework instead of fapping your brain out.
Or maybe something else - depends, I guess.
I always have had a lack of discipline, or maybe it’s just my brain not doing what I want it to do. I don’t know. But I always feel that I lack the discipline to get shit done. Which is bad as graphic design student, since there’s always deadlines. Not only do I let myself down with this stuff, but also others when I don’t do enough on collaborative efforts etc. As a matter of fact, me posting in the damn topic right now is an excuse to postpone homework.
Furthermore I’m also rather unlucky with girls. I don’t know why. I’m not bad looking. I’m not an asshole like most guys. (Maybe that’s my problem) I’ve only had one ‘real’ relationship which lasted about 4 months. Did cause there to be only one and a half months between my first kiss and losing my virginity. Guess that’s kinda funny.
Most people don’t believe I only kissed 1 girl. They’re always surprised. Some girl even thought I was the ‘player’ kinda type. Even though that’s the exact opposite of what I am. Maybe it’s because I dressed like crap etc a few years ago on high school.
It’s easy to say that, but when you really don’t feel any motivation it’s difficult to get anything done.
Yeah, that’s true. I managed to finish high school with only one repeated year, but now I’m still slagging off at uni.
And it’s not that it’s difficult… I just don’t really care.
I mean, when I think about it, I’m like “I really should be doing something,” but when it comes down to it I just don’t care.
The only reason I finished my last year in high school is pretty much because my end-term (or whatever it’s called) was something I enjoyed working on, and because math was pretty easy at that school.
I think I’ve got ADD though. I find it very difficult to concentrate on anything for an extended period of time.
There’s nothing like starting an essay at 2am to beat the deadline of 8am. For some reason, I got better results that way than if I planned ahead.
Yeah I get it can happen like that. But often I see way to cute girls with guys that I know are assholes just by looking at them. I guess that’s a problem of perception though.
Maybe it’s just cause I don’t get girls. I just don’t. God I try to. But it’s no fucking use.
And I’ve chased plenty of girls I was geniunly in love with. But one of the things that always happens to me is that they live miles away. There’s a girl I met on vacation whom I expressed my feelings to after knowing her for several years and occasionaly meeting up. But she’s just too busy and too far away. It sucks.
And for some reason I’ve never really been in love with a girl that lives close to me.
Let alone had a girlfriend that lived close. In fact, that relationship I mentioned earlier, she lived 3 hours away from me. And I met her in a place that’s 1 hour away from me and 4 hours away from her. What are the odds?
And there is a girl that’s definetily interested in me, but I don’t know if the feelings mutual. I do like her but I don’t know if I like her enough.
Plus she leaves so much messages on my hyves(Kind off a Dutch myspace) it nearly gets scary.
Maybe so, but I don’t want to end up in a relationship with her, only to find out that I don’t like her enough after all. Then I’d feel like an asshole.
But on the other hand I don’t wanna turn her down either, cause I’d feel like an asshole too.
And since I have been responding to most of her messages I might be delivering the illusion that I’m in love with her or something, even though that’s not my intention. But I’d feel like an asshole if I didn’t respond, or responded shortly.
Basicaly whatever I do I’m an asshole. I haven’t a clue.
I didn’t say it was an excuse :hmph:
yeah, I’m with Burbinator here. textbooks and stuf like that has never been my strong point. I CAN get good marks but rarely do. lack of concentration and all that. but it’s not that I’m lazy cause I can go out and do physical work all day. I’m just not acedemic at all. so I could do well acedemicly, I have at some points in my life, but I won’t succeed in an acedemic enviroment because thats just not me. call me stupid and avoidant all you want but I don’t mind having a less paying job if it means I don’t have to deal with tons of bookwork.
oh hahaha I see now.
