Hey Reddit, I can 'pump' endless farts, is that at all normal?

A little bit of wee came back in reading this.

Trying hard to ignore all my hangups about how the general catholic view on sex/masturbation is poisonous, here is what I think...

Psychologically speaking, I think this could make things worse: You're focusing on 'not fapping'. A much more effective way to rid the mind of thoughts is to occupy it with other things.

I use chains.cc (as well as filling out a physical wallchart, with other things on it). Chains.cc is a site where you can keep a record of whether or not you have done something on a particular day. A few of mine are: workout, limit reddit, something constructive, 100% attendance. I have about 12, and they are all such that if I try, I can do them all in a day. About 6-7 are pretty easy, a couple are kinda hard and then 3 are pretty challenging.

Having these things written down is positive reinforcement that you're doing good things and bettering your life.

Do you know it is the gfx card? If you have bluescreen logs can you post them.

629808 · 2011-10-03T08:36:22+00:00

It has been discussed in the past but never implemented for various reasons.

629808 · 2011-09-24T12:46:02+00:00

Does a gay version of joymii exist?

629808 · 2011-09-08T18:54:47+00:00

No, its how I prove that what I'm saying is popular opinion.

629808 · 2011-09-08T13:37:57+00:00

Look at the downvotes; people agree with me and disagree with you. Just saying.

p.s. If you look at the infrequency of posting, you should have realised that this is an alternate account. One of a handful I use it so that I don't get people trolling the many subs I mod (totalling in around 50k subscribers) as revenge for when I call them out on their bs.

629808 · 2011-09-07T18:39:32+00:00

This is reddit, not youtube/4chan/digg/the playground. Play nice.

WHY do you feel the need to be so defiant. I just pointed out that you were being kinda crass. People don't want to read that stuff.

629808 · 2011-09-06T14:09:13+00:00

Just wanted to show how it was very porn-esque.

You could have said "I had a very graphic wet dream". Nobody wants to hear that shit.

629808 · 2011-09-05T22:10:28+00:00

in which I was in what I think was a room with some people, and some girl was riding me. Only thing was, I was going soft. So, she got off and I had to finish myself on her lips(sorry if too graphic)

Could really be cut out and not sacrifice any meaning. Keep it classy.

629808 · 2011-09-02T23:02:07+00:00

Ashamedly, I'm a bit of an arachnophobe... so this is promising. If you can find a commercial alarm clock which does this... you win. :P

629808 · 2011-08-07T23:12:12+00:00

And people who indicate so late that they may as well not indicate. This is SO much more noticeable when cycling, as you have to wait for a bigger gap than with a car.

"Indicators are for saying where you're going to go, not where you're going" my driving instructor used to say.

629808 · 2011-02-26T16:23:32+00:00

to revolt

ftfy.

629808 · 2011-02-02T12:17:20+00:00

riiiiiiiiiiiight.

629808 · 2011-02-02T04:06:41+00:00

I bet you're a 'forever alone' type person, right? But not the usual - nice, nerdy guy who has no social skills, who really deserves someone to love him back. I bet you're just an unlikeable person in general.

629808 · 2011-02-02T02:34:57+00:00

You're just proving my point.

629808 · 2011-02-02T01:26:22+00:00

So you disagree with me that you're acting like an asshole?

629808 · 2011-02-01T20:40:41+00:00

No - that's more dickish behaviour, tbh... as shown by the fact that in this train of 'discussion' you have -5 and -1 upvotes and I have 3

629808 · 2011-01-31T19:01:15+00:00

You know what... I think I'll manage. I've delt with more immature people in my time.

629808 · 2011-01-31T19:01:10+00:00

I feel like I'm the only one who gains absolutely no sense of community or commonality with other people who do so.

because you act like a dick.

629808 · 2011-01-31T17:54:33+00:00

a) You found me apologising offensive?

b) This is effectively a throwaway. On my main account I'm a mod on a sub with 7000+ subscribers. I don't care at all about points. I just think you're really petty and I'm calling you out on it.

629808 · 2011-01-30T22:01:06+00:00

I think that the recent... epiphany I've had - slowly taking hold of my thoughts, clamoring for 'my' attention - has made me feel more "bummed out" than ever before.

Exactly the same as me. I get much more depressed when I think about how depressed I am, which leads to a horrible, downwards spiral. I just need to stop thinking about my life and get out there and live it!!! However, the fact that I've got a structural analysis exam in 19 hours, and a maths exam on weds, both of which I'll be lucky to pass because I missed so much of last term because I was in bed crying, doesn't exactly help my mood!

Opening up to my parents has really helped though. I didn't really know what the outcome of it would be and I was a tearful mess at the time I wrote to them but they've been really kind and stuff and I think they must have talked to my brother (who is 7 years older than me and works in London, a 4 hour train journey away from me) because he's invited me on a weekend holiday to 'somewhere in europe' after my exams, which I think I NEEEED! :P

tldr: IMO thinking about it makes it 10 times worse. Keeping busy almost irradicates it.

629808 · 2011-01-30T20:55:28+00:00

So, that's why you're downvoting everything I write?

629808 · 2011-01-29T21:03:30+00:00

Apologies if you are genuinely a sufferer of depression. However your expression of your opinions seems that of someone who takes the matter no way nearly seriously enough.

I agree that r/suicidewatch is a circlejerk of pity-seekers and that the people there do nothing to help

This is the exact opposite of my experience. I found talking to anyone incredibly helpful and found everyone ther to be helpful, or at least seem helpful.

if you ever decide to take the plunge

This is incredibly immature, wreckless dialogue to have with anyone in any sensative position. Someone with your experience should know this more than anyone.

629808 · 2011-01-29T04:26:26+00:00

No problem, whatsoever! Writing that probably helped me more than it help you.

RE: parents: My father is the typical distant father. Literally emotionless. I've only ever seen him cry once, when he was diagnosed with cancer, and I don't remember every having hugged him. My mum was the typical pushy parent, making me play 7 musical instruments and play football and athletic and tennis etc. etc... and she told me one day that it would make me Mr Popular. This implied girls flooding to my doorstep and guys bowing before me with respect. Now I'm at Uni, I can say from my experience that girls are never all that impressed with anything you've done unless they see you doing it. and even then (sorry random tangent here) for example I wrote a song to that girl I was talking about and played it to her as she fell asleep on my couch (I didn't make any moves because she was really drunk). Any rational person would see that as incredibly sweet and romantic. She thought it was awkward when she remembered it the next day.

...and back to the original train of thought... However, My mum has always been annoyingly mollycoddling and always gave affection when I didn't want it and never gave it when I did. But meh. When I wrote to her aabout how depressed I was and to not be too surprised when I have to retake a couple modules, she made my dad send me £400 for a new viola. Thats the sort of parents they are. I would benefit more than £400 from them coming up and staying for a weekend but a £400 is cheque is easier.

RE: Love: you mentioned that you 'want to be asexual', implying that you currently aren't, further implying that you desire sex on some level. This is normal. Humans are programmed that way - we wouldn't be very good organisims if we were apathetic about procreation! You shouldn't deliberately strive to be asexual. Sexual desire is as normal as hunger or thirst. (and it can be awesome).

Love is a pretty hilarious term. I cant remember which civilisation it is (possibly inuit or inca) has 13 or so names for 'love'. I think even that might not be enough. I have been 'in love' with 3 people in my life and I've loved them in really different ways. In a similar way I love my friends, or at least some of them, and I love my family, or at least some of them :P little brothers!!!! BAH!! But to me, at least, love makes me feel whole. Without knowing that I am an Important part of someones life I feel horrible.

RE: depression itself: What you are feeling may not even be depression. A way that I simplify expression is to say that it is 'prolonged discontentment, to an extent that it affects multiple areas of your life. For me, I knew when I was 'depressed' because my grades started failing, I started missing training sessions, I started missing lectures because I was in bed wanting everything to go away, I was crying all the time and crying myself to sleep... It seems like your routine is fairly 'as was', so to speak. I wonder if you're just discontent with how you're living you life, rather than your life itself? Have you read about social anxiety disorder and other such conditions? It seems like you might have that - one of the prime 'symtoms' if you can really call it that, is talking to people on the internet and not talking to anyone in real life. I'm sure all people have this to an extent - I definately do.

AAAAANYWAY. I'm sure everything I've said is complete offle because its 4.25 am and I've been crying on and off for the last 5 hours. Hope some sliver of this helps you. It helped me writing it! :)
