if you're not putting your guard down again you might as well not live. living is about being brave. and learning to be brave.

It sounds like you are in distress. A break up or something... I love/hate this saying... "this too shall pass." (By that I mean a lot of things- maybe right now a grumpy thread on a forum is the way you know how to cope- but eventually it might not work anymore.) The intelligent mind will not repeat bad patterns forever, you'll just move away from it naturally. In the meantime, just be lenient with yourself.

As for the trust issue, I completely understand. I continue to be the poster girl for being guarded. But like me, I know that you'll find it just doesn't work well. There is definitely something malfunctioning when people can't share love and trust with others.

The forum is very buggy and I wanted to throw my laptop out of the window. I read my thread and it's fucking sad how shitty my grammer is but I'm too fucking lazy to learn or change it.

You seem to write fine. Keep venting. Find a small furry animal to snuggle.

I read this quickly and saw, "find a small furry animal to strangle."

I dunno...I read the same thing. Immediately thought "But it would probably bite or scratch..."

Guess you must be an INTJ. Or maybe an INTP for thinking of that :tongue:

Chloroform might help. Check with Antimony.

Only if you want it to be so. The quality part of a qaulity life is not an absolute.

People are dumb in general. Few are rational enough to see that the world as a simple place. Adults seem to make life very complicated. I am 14, and most people in their right mind wouldn't take advice from me, but one thing I have figured out is that about 10% of the population is worth talking to and it is decreasing daily. The trick is to keep looking.

Damn, son. I think you're gonna have an interesting next few years realising that you're actually not that incredibly special.
