For me, I'm wasting too much time.
Considering dealing with stress involves the mind, lolnope. If you don't know the context of aforementioned 'stress', your advice just sounds pointless.
"Anyone can succeed".
"There is a light at the end of the tunnel".
"Use the Force, ACDC Chick".
The only way to work through stress, is to work through stress.
Stress comes easier to some - stress-management on the other hand, has to be worked on.
Best way to do it? Work through stress and when its over you'll feel better...and will know you can do it.
It's a choice, you're choosing what to do with your time, how to use your mind.
IQ =/= willpower or motivation.
You have much to learn, Moosey baby.

The assumption here is that everyone has the same solution to stress. I can't stress (no pun intended) how naive this is really. Some people need time, they need to blow off steam, or they need someone to confide in. A stranger telling you platitudes is probably the one thing that doesn't help.

Right.

Nearly everything is a choice, but choice is sometimes dictated by things seemingly beyond our control. Again, we don't know the situation, so the mind over matter, just power through it may not be the best advice, which is why I called you out on it.

Obviously.

We all do. But I miss when I was your age and thought I knew it all.

The only way to know what is beyond your control is to hit your limit.

I have never heard of a person that lives on the very edge of their limitations every second of every day. Because when you find a limit, then your only other option is to circumvent it with novel approaches, innovate. The fruits of labor when one is constantly hitting plateaus to get around previous plateaus, whose to say what's going to happen?
So I assumed as much for her.
I know for damn sure it's true for me.
Besides, what kind of life would that be? Always working toward a previous goal, never stopping but to eat or sleep, etc? Productivity isn't something I have, but we're talking about something else.
In the end, maybe the credits or grade or whatever wasn't worth it to her, who knows? All I'm saying is that anyone can do what they set their mind to, but no one has defied all limitations in such a way so I agree with you on that it's a pointless assertion. However, you can't tell me, objectively at least, that's it's not true. Most likely.

Well, if there's infinite content to go over in the "universe"; it doesn't really matter how much I know compared to you. If I have something I want to verbalize, than that is what I will do.

Right, but this is a platitude. You're absolutely full of them.

I'm not even sure this is coherent. I simply pointed out that your advice, which was not particularly asked for, was rather pointless. This wouldn't normally illicit a response from me, except that you seem to be pretending to be an intellectual know-it-all everywhere I see you and it's becoming boorish.

Yes, I've noticed.
Originally posted by Onenessi almost killed myself about two months ago, ive been super depressed. Being gay is hard and finding a loyal gay guy is like trying to find a unicorn. Sex has become so accessable to men that one can have sex in the next ten mins, with anyone. I started my love quest as a virgin mamas boy and now i can be called anything. Ive done everything under the sun. I even have sex when im bored. I hate myself. Im to attractive for my own good and to nice. Ive become cocky and snobbish, i find it hard to trust. I dont trust my partner, i suprise him every chance i get. If he tells me one thing then does another i play detective. I would love to meet a dork whos nerdy and hasnt much experience.
Don't do it baby!I'll keep it dry for you if you'll wait, too!

Being yourself should be the easiest thing you do in life. If not, reevaluate your circumstances.
I had a boyfriend who used to play detective about everything he thought was suspicious. He was never right, and his insecurities pushed me to the point where we broke up. I hated the fact that he couldn't trust me when things didn't seem right to him. Love and me is strange, I get further with straights than I do with other gay guys. My friends call it the "forbidden fruit" complex. Honestly, I think it's just because I know I'm meant to be a loner, and straight guys are hands off (most of the time... 🙄 )
I went through his stuff and ever suprised him a couple of times, suprise im here early. Lol for valentines day he told me he had to work till 1pm and be free later which was okay cuz i get off at 3pm, so after work i went over his place and he wasnt home. He came home by 4pm, i bumpt into him near by and not coming from work. There is a lot of reasons i dont trust him. I rather just meet someone else.
If I weren't so heart-broken not only could I completely focus and succeed with unrivaled productivity and obsession outside of my </3; but I'd just care. I'd genuinely care to solve everyone's problems, and I actually could because I could get the resources.
No, tho. ***** panzy cracker prick **** **** mother****ing crackwhore that my </3 is.
I see now why my father suffered momentary inattional blindness after taking me to wrestle as an elementary schooler, never took me back up there. Slipped his mind to get me in the sport.
Because by the time it was made known to me the benefits of being a jock, it was too late. I'd already been put on dopamine reuptake inhibitors. I would have had anyone I wanted if I'd stayed 94 pounds in middle school as a wrestler b/c at 94 pounds I was strong and vibrant and wrestling is unique in the damage it does to your connective tissues when you're BMI is too high.
Why the **** would you want to wrestle if you're over 120 pounds??? Beats the **** out of me.
