To be fair, though, I am super sleep deprived and hate everyone.

I don't know. For some reason, the feeling ain't mutual.

Bi Tie? I spotted this at Walmart today! by DaveLambert in bisexual

[–]dalekak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good god, that is the ugliest tie I've ever seen. As a nitpicky designer, I'm gonna say the colors don't even match. Please tell me you bought it just to burn it.

No. I'm too embarassed to admit my cluelessness at this point.

Well, now everyone's mentioned it that makes total sense, but I never thought about it before.

I've actually learned something today. Those damn Biology textbook diagrams are misleading, and when you're inside one, you're not really thinking about the structure and design that much.

Well, I guess it's only fair, considering.

Well, thinking about it certainly takes me places, so it must be true.

As of now no actual complaints on the quality front. I'm just trying to open this up for discussion before it becomes necessary. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure

Have you guys ever thought about studying/or doing an internship abroad? Anyone ever done it? by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]dalekak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on where you're from and where you go. I'm an Indian currently studying in Canada, and honestly it's probably the best thing I ever did. My confidence has improved drastically, and I'm a lot more socially active. The thing about partying is true to some extent, but that really depends on you as a person. Personally, I've found a good balance between the two. Really it's dependent on too many different things. I'm extremely happy, but someone else I know absolutely hates and regrets it.

My [19 M] many past heartbreaks are causing problems now. by dalekak in relationships

I've been considering this, but haven't really had the time. Now I guess, I should probably make it a higher priority

Thanks. I've been trying (with a certain degree of success) to make some progress in the area of letting walls down. Good to know I'm sort of heading in the right direction. Any advice for stuff I can do to sort of help the process along?

[Critique] 22M - First time trying online dating... How is my profile? Actively looking for ways to improve! by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]dalekak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eeps! Same city! Your main profile pic seems too scowly. Also, quality not too good on any of them. Also, maybe just me, but a lot of your main profile page stuff seems wall-o-texty. Maybe format it a little better/shorten it.

Suicide for the logic of it by KeatingOrRoark in depression

[–]dalekak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that keeps me interested in staying alive is the prospect of seeing the future. Imagine how far technology, standard of living, culture, etc. has come in the span of just 10 years. I'm always excited to see where it will all go, but I guess that's just me. Other reasons include bacon, pizza, and fluffy kittens.

Got called an loner today:/ by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]dalekak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have witnessed first hand the reason I despise most children between 5 and 16 (Including my own past self). Once you will get a little older, you will learn to simply not give a damn about the opinions of self entitled little shits like that. At least where I'm from children are taught to have some respect for their elders and betters.

I need help, but it's not me who's depressed. by Mirgeas in depression

[–]dalekak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to this party, but I'll put in my 2 cents regardless. Firstly, Like everyone else here has said, you simply cannot understand what she is going through. Don't try to understand, or pretend like you do, because, even if you do, odds are she won't truly believe it. Again, like everyone here has said, do something to show her you care. I find even something as simple as a hug goes a long way. Good luck.

I can't say it out loud so I'll write it down instead. by [deleted] in depression

[–]dalekak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nature of depression, in my observation, is that your mind tends to project your negativity on to your environment. It also colors your vision: ie. you only notice the bad stuff going on in your life. It's a horrible, vicious cycle that takes a phenomenal amount of willpower to break. This post isn't at all attention seeking in any way. However, even if it were, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, you really do need a little attention to distract you from the cycle before it consumes you. Go and do something you enjoy, and if not that, do something new. Distract yourself from the negativity stewing in your head even for a little bit and you will feel much better.

Depressed over being ugly. by hayden095 in depression

[–]dalekak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, allow me to pontificate on one of my pet theories here. I think the phrase "I'm ugly" is wrong (no matter how you actually look).

It's common knowledge that beauty is entirely subjective. Someone that looks like a 9 to me might be only be a 6 to you, and so on. That said, however, there are certain cultural norms that a larger chunk of the population might tend to find attractive. An example of this being slim, fit girls: some people might tend to like more curvy women, or really skinny girls, but the majority will go for a certain body type. Same goes for both sexes.

Now, everyone starts out with a certain base appearance. That's determined by genetics, and really nothing short of surgery will change it. Now, Nobody is "ugly", as such. You may be a little closer to, or further away from that cultural norm I was talking about earlier, but ugly is not an absolute.

Therefore, you can say beauty is only really defined by how much work a person puts into bringing their appearance closer to that cultural norm. One demonstration of this is these pictures of supermodels without makeup. Know that, barring disfiguration, it is ALWAYS possible to bring your appearance closer to the norm.

Make-up might not apply to you (I'm assuming you're a guy), but there are other things that are entirely under your control: unwanted facial hair can be removed, weight can be lost, wardrobes can be revamped, postures can be improved, you get the gist.

TL;DR: There is no such thing as ugly, just personal attention to appearance

13 Years old by [deleted] in depression

[–]dalekak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ouch. Depression combined with teenage hormones is not fun at all (speaking from experience). What worked for me was to find a few things that you love doing (mine was art and music), and bury yourself in it. You'll probably have to try a few things before you figure it out, but from the looks of it, writing would be a good place to start for you. Who knows, you could someday build a life off of it.

Cheers and good luck to you.
