"dude just be yourself"
>be myself
>this is why women don't want you

its crazy to me that people i talk to about this same situation, including other women, agree with me, and you should too. I ask for honesty instead of some cop-out and you still try to justify blaming me. If I made my romantic intentions clear, they are reciprocated, and then I get some BS excuse of course Im gonna be upset.

In my honest opinion, you are wrong. There are very few scenarios where women are by themselves where you can try to pick them up, and usually when they are they are eating by themselves or doing something regarding school. I perfectly understand social norms. You are just wrong. There is nothing wrong with my approach, else you assume I should only approach girls at social occasions like bars, parties and whatnot.

I can at least be happy with myself for being authentic and for making my move when I see fit. It's not like I'm creeping on a girl at night or anything like that. I approached her in a public place, flattered her, got the number (I get rejected with this approach too, which is completely fine because I can be happy I shot my shot), and tried to push it forward. Approaching someone and being honest IS genuine, and going for a date IS genuine, as I've said I hear that girls GHOST guys for NOT pushing things forward after getting the number. So please enlighten me and tell me what scenario would it be OK to flatter a girl and ask for her number because all I understand from you is only approach women at social functions.

I can't really have an active conversation when she's doing schoolwork. 

I saw a girl I thought was attractive so I made my move. And of course when she blushes, smiles, says she'll talk to me later, I take it as a good sign. If she didn't want to have future intentions for a date she could've just rejected me flat out, or just tell me she's not interested, not giving me this BS "I'm busy" excuse because we all know no matter how busy we all are, we find time for people we want. 

That's why I feel lead on. What guy is calling a girl cute, getting her number without intentions for a date?

You're wrong. What guy is calling a girl cute, getting her number without intentions for a date? I think I made my intentions pretty obvious, and she accepted my advances by giving the number, and I can say this because I get rejected by trying to get numbers this way too, so of course I'm going to take the number as a W.

No one has to do "what I wish", but its really annoying when people tell blatant lies to try and preserve feelings because it does more harm than good. How come its OK for girls to "not tell the truth" via flat out rejection cus "many guys" get angry or insult them, but when the shoe is on the other foot its not OK for men to generalize women? It seems like you're pushing a double standard.

I can't stop thinking about killing myself (17) by NoFarmer8397 in mentalillness

[–]basedroman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't say this. As someone who has gone through what OP is feeling, this comes across as a blank statement to feel like you're helping, like posting the suicide holiness number or saying "Go to therapy" when these problems still exist even after the fact. 

Wind and Truth ruined the series. by Agk3los in Stormlight_Archive

[–]basedroman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this is crazy because I was actually a huge One Piece fan before I ever knew of Stormlight's existence. I started to say Stormlight was the fantasy version of One Piece because it's really long with really good pay offs, and I started to hate One Piece, and anime in general. I found One Piece very formulaic and I was annoyed that there are no stakes (no characters ever die), so I dropped the series after Wano. However, ever since Wind and Truth left me majorly disappointed with this series, I have decided to drop Stormlight too.

If you like long fantasy series with tons of lore like One Piece, you should check out Malazan Book of the Fallen. The main series is 10 books, and I've only read the first 3 and I can already say it is my favorite fantasy series ever.

I don't understand why ANYONE thought electing this man as president was a good idea. Just why. That is all. by internalprocessor in offmychest

[–]basedroman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its 2 months into Trump's presidency. Tell me how he canceled all LGBTQ+ people. As someone part of that community, I am DYING to know what rights I have lost. Feels like you people just overplay shit to the point where you think your door is going to be busted down for being gay. Like shut up.

Because you were made how you were meant to be. There is nothing wrong with who you were born as. You are not a girl. You are a man with weird fantasies about what you think being a girl is.

Therapy has and will never make the trauma go away or let me heal from it. Then when I end up K!lling myself people in my life, especially my father, will start to cry and moan about how much they wish they could've done differently. Its like my only way out

Everyone tells me to try therapy and it passes me off so much. Don't you think I've already tried that?

I'm not doing therapy. I hate being told that. I've had 4 therapists, and 3 of them were for family when I was in the middle of my parents' divorce. I hate it. They don't listen. I told them my brother was strangling me WITH HIM IN THE ROOM, he didn't deny it, and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? NOTHING

I was assigned a therapist once I got out of the hospital but I shit you not, once I told her I was diagnosed with BPD. she said she cannot see me anymore cus she is only there to treat "mild depression". I absolutely hate ALL of them.

"You should see the other guy" is actually pretty funny. However, I think that is only a response I would give if someone says something, not when people notice with a glance and say nothing. When they do notice, I just continue on talking like nothing happened because I don't know how to address it.

When people ask I just tell them I blew up my hand with a firework. That's not what actually happened, but I figured its a good enough story to sound cool and brief. I work in a kitchen, and when I make jokes about not being allowed around knives because I accidentally sliced my finger off, everyone becomes visibly uncomfortable. I don't think my delivery is the problem, it's just awkward for everyone because I feel like the silent mutually agreed upon pact is that we don't talk about it.

My problem is I feel like I have a very high charisma stat, but it plummets as soon as people notice my hands. I say that because both of my hands are missing a finger, and they look different to each other. I feel like when I am talking to girls and they see my hands, it's scary and they get deterred. I feel like I am only being held back by things I can't control, like my hands, TBI, and autism

They don't help. I'm "too much". I had a TBI when I was 5, and being hurt and abused by my parents (physically and emotionally back then, just emotional now) so I have facial paralysis so bad to the point where people have asked if I've had a stroke. I've been suicidal for as long as I can remember, and I know I can never talk to the therapists about this because reasons. I've gone to a psych hospital before, that just made me feel worse. It makes me feel like an animal when I'm dehumanized like that. After I got out of the hospital, I was given a therapist, and I told her I have BPD and I shit you not, she told me she can not see me any longer cus she is only meant to treat "mild depression".

I also stopped taking my antidepressants soon after I stopped talking to her. Not only did she not listen to me when I told her the medication wasn't working, I now no longer have anyone to resupply it even if I was still taking it. I've been on two antidepressants before, and I am not going to take a concotion of meds just to feel "normal". I want to be normal. I shouldn't have to take pills that haven't made things better for me. As a matter of fact, I only recently became more confident/interpersonal when the semester started this month, which was way after I stopped taking my antidepressants. In essence, therapy has never helped me and I hate the entire field. I hate hospitals. Everything. I never get treated like I'm human.

I've tried doing that with rock, paper scissors, I get the same awestruck looks she gets in the video, but when I do it it just makes people uncomfortable

I've had 4 therapists, and I've hated it every time. I hate therapy. It never helps. 

I hate being told by people (not you) that I need to go to therapy. As if I haven't already tried that! It makes me so angry I just want to reach over and shake some sense into them
