When I was in 9th grade last year I had a similar problem. I would constantly make people angry at me because I would accidentally be a ****head to them without realizing I was a ****head until after they got angry at me. Not sure how, but over the last summer I just came back to school and I just kind of stopped being that way. I still use swear words like every other sentence around people who I wouldn't get in trouble with, but honestly I don't really care to try to change that about me since it doesn't really bother anyone other than parents, teachers, and other people who are too sensitive about that kind of stuff.
As someone who doesn't necessarily care about other people's feelings and likes to be honest with people most of the time, I would literally just tell her "I don't give a ****" right to her face if she did that more than one time. Maybe she does that because she likes you and maybe you are one of the few people in school who has similar interests to hers, but in your shoes that is what I would probably do. One thing I have done to get people I found loud and annoying to stop being that way is just telling them to stop being to loud and that no one cares about what they are talking about. Sure they were upset about it at first, but when they actually stopped doing it I would talk to them again within a week or a month and become friends with them. I'm not saying you should do this because you probably shouldn't, so you should probably try to tell her that you don't care in a way that won't hurt her feelings. Have you ever tried to change the subject when talking to her? Doing that might give her a hint and get her to talk about something that you both care about.
I'm glad that people are considering me as a nice person now. Like I said before I was constantly being rude to people without even realizing just a year ago. I wouldn't really consider myself "unhappy", but more of just currently being pressured a lot in school and feeling lonely every now and then.
Damn man, that sucks. I really hate these kinds of people, fortunately I don't really know anyone like this, or at least I don't think I do..... I think you should just tell him that if he has something to say about you he should just say it to your face. If not then just forget about him. One day he might realize he was being a ****.
Yeah, I've been talking to her more and letting her know when she's getting off topic and such. It's been really helpful to come to you guys whenever I have a problem. I haven't been here long, but I feel like a part of the community with you guys. Thanks to everyone here that has tried to help me.
No problem. I'm the type of person to bottle up my emotions not necessarily because I am afraid to show them, but just that I have trouble finding people to talk to about any of my personal issues that don't have to do with school because it is hard for me to find people that relate to me. We all need some sort of way to just vent about whatever is stressing us out or making us feel down.
At a point you just need to give up. If you think she's just leading you on just to be nice, just stop. Even if she does like you, there's no reason for you to be putting up with this crap and giving her the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, I've given up on her at this point. I'm an impatient person and there's only so much I can put up with.
Are there any Smash tourneys or social events you might be interested in? If you can find an excuse to go somewhere new, you might at least make some new friends. There could be people nearby who share your interests, and you could set up clubs outside of school - more informal things that take less organization.
Smash tourneys I'm definitely interested in. I've been looking for a way to get to one for a while, but I haven't found any. There was one at the high school that they do, but it's only once or twice a year. And I probably could make a club out of school for Smash, but only two of my friends are interested in Smash, and I'm the only one with the Wii U version. Not much of a club if you ask me, but it's worth a shot I guess.
What happened?
I’m pretty lonely. I have almost no friends. I wish I could get some, but I already know what would happen if I tried- I’d screw it over like I’d done in the past. Be touchy over silly things, get jealous at other people and their revered social status, and tick off any potential friends in general. I don’t get why mean and egotistical people seem to be so loved by everyone, I guess people just like jerks. And people usually just ignore me anyway.
One thing you really need to do in order to make new friends that will also just help you with self-esteem is just not worry about what other people think about you or what other people think about someone else. Doing this will help to avoid getting jealous of someone else who might have a higher social status than you and help your social status improve. I don't know anyone that you know, but you probably shouldn't assume that just because a lot of people like a certain person that they are a mean and egotistical jerk, if that is what you are doing. Try to get to know some of these people, maybe they might seem like jerks to you because you were jerks to them (you said that you have a tendency to piss off potential friends).
Your main problem seems to be that you think too low of yourself. A lot of people don't want to hang out with the guy who thinks he sucks at life, and trust me it really doesn't matter if you suck at life or not with most people, it is just matters how you perceive yourself because you won't really get anywhere in life just expecting to be failure. From what you said about college you seem to still be in high school, so you probably shouldn't worry too much until you are at least halfway through college and just spend time practicing whatever instrument you play or whatever it is you do that involves music. In the meanwhile try to find something else that you might want to make a career out of.
Not exactly, because I've personally seen the attitudes of some of the people I'm thinking of, and they aren't good dudes. I remember one guy in particular blew up at me because I stated a somewhat unjustified negative opinion of a character he liked... lol. But thanks for taking the time to reply.
Never had a tattoo
Eh, don't worry about those things. I'm sure you didn't do it all on purpose, and if the TO is a good guy he'll forgive you.
Did you mean to post in the happy thread lol.
Thats very true, sometimes you need some more positivity in your life.
I agree, I wish we got wolf instead. But no point in crying over spilled milk, whats done is done.
Corrin pissed me off when he was first announced, but he especially pissed me off when I got to play against him because I am a Marth main. Corrin in this game has so many tools that Marth had in Brawl and Melee that I just absolutely hate playing Marth when I fight against Corrin. It is so frustrating to have Corrin outrange your fair with his fair and have it be able to combo into itself with a similar knockback angle to Marth's fair in previous games. When I saw that Corrin and Bayonetta were put into the game over characters that people were actually asking for (On the internet I have only ever seen TWO people ask for Bayo before she was announced, and even after she was there were still a ton of people who were doubting she actually had the most votes anywhere).
