I Need to Vent Today

[Random User]

So lately I've noticed how I'm beginning to just be filled with more and more hate. Especially to a few certain people. I'm tired of them, and truly hope the worst to them, which is pretty easy.

Ya see, these people are the annoying emo bastards that run around pretending everything in their life is the worst, when they honestly have nothing to complain about. They make me so angry to be around that I kinda just wanna impale them on a shiv of some sort. That would be nice. Anyways, since they're so self-centred, they seem to only have more and more problems. It's funny to watch them squirm and cry for no bloody reason. I honestly can't believe I used to LIKE people like that. Wow, now I hate 'em.

I mean, it's okay to get sad every now and then, but please! Every day.

Anyways, I get to have a barbeque with my family...

I hate my family! I want to keep away from them. None of them accept me anymore, they're all hostile toward me for stupid reasons. My political alignment isn't as rightist as theirs. I'm more centred and independent, but that just doesn't do for my Conservative family. Pft. I feel like an outcast in my own family. Actually, I feel like an outcast just about everywhere. At school, at home, in public. Strange considering I devoted so much attention and empathy to my friends. Guess it doesn't pay to be kind.

Now I find myself degrading myself, sitting around and venting about it on a forum. Feh, aren't I cool? T_T

Have are good Memorial Day, I guess. God knows mine's gonna suck.

they're so self-centred

Everyone is. You, me, that dude over there. Hell, you're worried about the emotional state of other people bothering you to the point of wishing them injury, or worse.

Despite that, you can't know what's truly driving their depression. What seems like "nothing to complain about" to you is very legitimate to them, and might even be a cover for something worse in their lives. Outside judgement is easy to cast.

Your feelings towards these people are entirely under your own control. If you don't want to change how you feel, you will need to remove yourself from their presence, even if that means taking yourself out of the friend-circle or whatever (after all, expecting others to leave or change for you is the ultimate in self-centred, right? :p ). So chill out, don't worry, if they need to be sad right now, you don't have to stick around for it. If you want to stay, then it's time to decide you're okay with these things, it's not so bad after all, and you can still hang out with those folks.

Well... I admit I may be being hard on a few people with actual troubles, as there are a few people that I know that are legitimately depressed. But more specifically, I've been having trouble with people who make up problems that don't truly exist for attention.

Most of them stories of being raped or beaten by random people.

I'm pretty sure rape victims don't talk about their being raped with a straight face and then go on about other topics as if that's a normal part of conversation. And I'm pretty sure one who is "constantly beaten" would sport some sort of injuries on their person.

Most angering, my ex came to me telling me she got raped, this was extremely frustrating to me. It was maddening, as I felt like it was my fault for not being there to protect her. The thing is, she wasn't really raped. So all the pain that that caused me was for no reason. She couldn't have gotten raped, as the time she claims she was raped, her parents confirmed she was at home. She was also acting perfectly normal. She messed up her stories and told me she got an abortion two separate times. I guess this just needed to be said today, because it makes me so angry that she would do that.

My political alignment isn't as rightist as theirs. I'm more centred and independent, but that just doesn't do for my Conservative family.

This right here is the reason I don't talk about politics with my family.

I can sympathize with you, especially with the emo thing. I used to think it was the bees knees, but really, it's just a trend more than anything. And anyone who legitimately felt that way wouldn't go through the trouble of trying to be emo.

Sorry I can't be more consoling, but advice isn't really my strong suit.

Okay, here's some advice, because you obviously need some because you evidently are having a hard time because you said so and whatever.

Sometimes, you just need to say "**** it. I don't care. I'm sick of it. I don't care."

Without going too far, that can be somewhat refreshing. I went through a few weeks being like that, not going too far due to respect for my parents, mind you, but I feel a bit refreshed. I'd suggest you try it.

And, while my political view is a mix of "**** politics" and conservative-ness (lawl), I don't think that your parents should act like you're an outcast just because you have a different political view.

If they disagree, there would be nothing wrong with them trying to explain to you why they believe that their views are right, but they shouldn't be so apparently hostile. Feel free to PM me because I'd love to talk. :)

Don't hate the emos. Be as nice to them as you can be, or nicer than you normally would be to anyone. Last thing you need is to give them more of a reason to bemoan their sad fate of being surrounded by people that persecute them.

[LOOT]

Kil's right. Remember, for every emo that you leave to brood, another hipster emerges to ruin our young adult lives.

Thanks for all the advice guys. This actually really helps with quite a bit regarding the first issue. I'll just deal with the latter, can't really do anything about that. But still, thanks so much guys. You're all awesome.

That thing about your ex is screwed up. Stay away from her; if she's going to do that, she's pathetic.

^Perhaps I should post her cell number on /b/... Hm...

[CaptHayfever]

^Or you could be a decent human being & do almost ANYTHING ELSE.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^Perhaps I should post her cell number on /b/... Hm...

What is /b/?

Also, sorry, but no one has the right to put the private information of others in places where it's not wanted.

[DarkZero]

/b/ is everything that's bannable on VGF.

[Kil'jaeden]

It's a very bad place and you should never go there.

[Jere]

think of it as the shivering isles of oblivion and the guards words guarding it:

I wouldn't go there, nothing that went in have come out right!

^^ & ^: The last thing I need is for me to find out that the internet is even more disturbing than I thought.
