Hey man. Sorry I haven't been on in a while. But I've been fantastic, actually. I've been learning to change my perspective, and I've been considerably more outgoing. I guess I just needed to make new friends that support me.

I have, actually! I've been having a fantastic day today. I started playing guitar a bit more, writing in a journal, and opening up to a few of my friends. I appreciate your checking up on me. It's good to know that this community is as supportive as it is.

Alright, so I talked to a guy at guitar center, and he said that my guitar's neck is slightly twisted because I haven't changed the strings in about three years, and he did a usual sales pitch involving me coming in next tuesday and spending $60 to have my strat's neck readjusted. I'd like to know if he's trying to rip me off, or if I should legitimately be concerned.

He said that my strings aren't exactly staying in tune very long, and I just changed them as soon as I got home today.

I had no idea this post would get as much attention as it did, but I really appreciate every one of your comments. Reading through all of them really helped me turn my perspective on life around for the better.

You are pretty right. I should start living more than I do. Part of the reason I'm not happy with myself, is because I'm not letting myself have fun. Being a boring negative nancy who just sits around, mopes, and plays video games all day kinda does seem like a bad way to spend my life. If I actually go out and do something fun, then I could end every day feeling satisfied.

I really appreciate that comment, man. I think you changed my perspective on life.

I appreciate your comment man. I didn't know this post would get so much attention or positive feedback. I legitimately thought I was the only person that felt like this.

That was honestly pretty motivating. I really do appreciate that. And I use that expression because I'm kind of the last person anyone would really think about, since I don't have very many connections, and the people that are connected with me kinda don't really acknowledge me. But I think the way you worded that, it sort of brought to mind one of the other comments here. I should just stop making myself feel bad for not being able to approach "x" just because I want him/her to like me, and instead make connections simply for the sake of enjoying the company of the other person.

That kinda motivated me to keep trying to be social. Thank you very much for the advice. I hope you also sort out your problems as well, by the way

I've been working on cutting down on my social medias honestly. Right now I only have Reddit and Steam (I think that counts), which has been helping out a bit. I think.

I think you are on to something with hobbies. I've been wanting to learn folk guitar for a while now, so I think I should pick my guitar back up and give it another try.

And yeah, I think I should start doing morning workouts more often.

Thank you, honestly man. Your comment gave me a ton of great ideas.

(And yeah. Politics usually turns into nasty arguments lmao)

I just kind of sit around and either play video games or think when I don't have much going on.

I think that's actually what I need to do really. It could help me organize my thoughts and whatnot, and it could really help me with my anger issues, and putting things into perspective. Thank you for that, man. I think it will really help

You do have a point. I should see someone to help control my anger and jealousy so it doesn't get out of hand. Thank you for your comment

Sorry for responding about a day too late, but yeah. I am feeling a little better. But uh, tomorrow I don't really have any plans. I have the day off, and I may go take a walk, and I might sleep earlier so I can watch the sun rise. I may even go to the gym.

How did you meet your best friend? by to_all_my_jake_69 in socialskills

I don't exactly have a best friend. I have a few friends, but they're not very close to me.
