You and me seem to like the idea of getting the last word in. I WILL DUEL YOU FOR HOURS IF I HAVE TO.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Did your parents not instill this in you? (Incidentally, I'm off to Vegas about now. So you won't have to worry.) What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
My parents were more concerned about me doing better in school than anything else. I was even less apt to be social in school than I am now (which shouldn't come as a stretch, since I had very little self-esteem up until high school, when I started getting a little more).

Simple, making excuses for your current problems won't help anything. Simply accept your derelict state and do something out of the ordinary.
How ya doing, buddy? |

If you can find a free and online version of that book, I'll read it.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Or go to a library.
So, what are you doing right now to alleviate your situation? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
At this very second? Nothing. I'll go to work later, see if Erin got my voicemail and see if she wants to talk about it. Whatever happens, happens. The only thing I'm hopeful about now is trying to save face and salvage some sense of neutrality between us. Otherwise, I'll see if the other person I've been trying to hang out with wants to do so.
I'm thinking I should just suck it up and give up trying to make friends for the time being. If there's only two people that interest me and neither want to hang out then there's nothing I can do about it. No one's coming to me and asking if I'd like to hang out, and they never have...so what does that say about how people see me? I was speaking idiomatically. |

I don't see a difference.

You need to discover some purpose for your life in order to have success within your life. Most amazing jew boots Observant Provisions | [adult swim] "Dude, this is gonna.. Man, this is gonna wicked, like, really hurt." |
Look. Find a purpose. I don't care what it is, you might want to really express youself through sculpture, do scientific research, learn to cook very well, whatever. What's important is to define yourself first -- if people like what they see in you, you'll find friends without having to force yourself into their lives. Having a passion for something can be an attractive quality. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Yeah, but, surely something that could very possibly help you out is worth $10???
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Since one half of that book is apparently about business and the other half is stuff I'm sure I'm fully capable of (I can talk to people, I'm definitely eloquent, people like me), no, it's not.
(Edit: Hey look! A Table of Contents of shit that already looks pretty much like what I'm capable of doing now! That would be an exploratory adventure in wasting :10bux: right there.) So, my only problem is I need to find social situations and feel comfortable meeting random strangers. I was speaking idiomatically.

Except everything you've been whining about with your life is exactly what he deals with in his book. There's a reason it's still one of the most popular books on Amazon even though he originally wrote it in 1936.
Not to mention if you're not willing to do something unless it'll help you for sure then you'll never get anywhere anyway. Hell, maybe taking one of his classes would be a great social situation for you to be in. Most amazing jew boots |
Why are you making excuses for not doing anything, dopefish?
I didn't bother to read the thread, but it looks like he's mopey thath e has no friends and never had a girlfriend, but he wants people to seek him out. Is that right? I don't know. I don't feel any impulse to help you, buddy. You're not very likeable. Why don't you try making some friends or something? FELIPE NO |
When I was little I used to go on this long periods of 'no sugar' when I'd feel that I took in too much. Sometimes going a month without anyway. Stress, depression, etc made it all the more difficult to maintain that habit. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Double Post: Well, the ship has sailed for Erin and I to be friends...for the time being. The best excuse she could come up with was my initial foray into getting her attention was a little more aggressive than she was expecting, and she's uncertain where I stand as far as whether I want to be her boyfriend or just a friend. Looks like we're in for a looooooooooong cooldown period. I suppose I messed up by going as quickly as I did, but if Erin wasn't willing to accept that I was willing to accept being a friend, then there's not much I can do about that. Meanwhile I also discovered today that she was talking about the details of my voicemail to her to someone at work (so now at least one person knows about it). Now the fun begins! Jam it back in, in the dark.

How many times are you going to ask for advice, ignore it, and then realize that O SHIT, THAT ADVICE WAS PRETTY GOOD. This entire thread - ENTIRE THREAD - is full of advice. And yet, you're even refusing to read a book that was recommended to you. Because "you know everything" that the book offers advice on. Which would mean that your thread here is bullshit. Oops. Pick a side. Stick to it. Incidentally, it was written in 1936, RR? I think I will have to read this, now. It couldn't help, considering my VERY ANGRY DISPOSITION.
You're a creepy guy. You really should consider the book RR recommended. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
That is actually a great book. I have an e-book for it and an audio book. Haven't finished it, though.

I get all sorts of results for Mr. Carnegie's book on a search of the public library's database here. This is a fairly old book, so it should be in wide circulation, as I see there have been many printings of it. And public libraries are free! Now you really have no excuse.
Tsk, somebody's got it checked out a month overdue... I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I would offer to BUY this book for this kid, just to shut him up about this Erin chick and how GOD AWFUL he is at accepting flaws. But I don't think I will. I was speaking idiomatically. |
