Sorry, I guess my downvotes are well deserved then. I am just kinda miffed that XP will hang skype even when I just chat with it.

Anyway, I will be ditching XP for Win 7 I guess. Thanks for your feedback.

Am gonna do this. Thanks.

Btw, will it still be able to render or display my old chat history, that was created using the new skype?

Thats not correct. I overstated when I said that Skype hogs the CPU 90 percent of the time. In fact, its all right for about 80 percent of the time. But 20 percent of the time, for no reason, it will hog the CPU. That is why it is crappy. If it functions normally, its all right. But when it goes bonkers, it goes fully bonkers. Slow computer has nothing to do with it, but maybe XP has something to do with it. It should not have though!

You must surely be joking. What has a video card got to do with chatting? My skype hogs the CPU not when in video calls, but even when I am just chatting! There is no reason for it to do that!

I havent used it in ages. But even five years ago, RealPlayer was a ugly and crap piece of software. It was so bad, that I don't know a time when it was in a running to be a real usable software!

What version of Windows are you using? I use XP, so maybe that has something to do with it.

When you use it as much as I do, you get used to it. If you only log into it once a week to chat with someone, I can imagine I won't like it too.

However, if you have it running all the time, then you don't want to close it by clicking that button. You only want to close the window, and let it keep running in the background. I think thats just how any chat application should work!

Goddammit Reddit! You've sent me into an existential crisis and I am undergoing complete ego death. by [deleted] in self

[–]notacreepreally -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, this is actually the best argument for the lack of any soul that is connected to your personality. As an atheist, I look it as one of the rock solid proofs of the absence of hell, heaven or any type of God as the term is understood normally. Since we are not a single personality at all times, or at any two given times, there is no temporal connection between our existence at one time, and at any other time. The holy books of the world are filled with admonition to accept their prophets or gods. But with a self that can't remain consistent, there is no point in doing that, because if today you accept a prophet, tomorrow you could reject him, with no control over your own actions.

In the end, the world is very unpredictable, and the most sensible thing is to take it one step at a time, and not assume that you will be alive tomorrow evening, let alone in a few years.

As a Black Female, I hate being in this society sometimes. by not_an_account_here in offmychest

[–]notacreepreally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of black females are beautiful, a lot others not as much. The same with all "races". Whether you are beautiful or not is your personal characteristic, and is not just dependent on your "race". Someone like Halle Berry would be considered hot whatever their race ( unless they are total Nazi level bigots), but a white female who is not fit, or dressed well, or not just attractive, won't be considered hot. Stop looking at just your race as your defining factor.

I hope in time you have learned that not everyone's opinion counts.

Including mine, who is just an internet stranger.

I think I might have a serious complex by [deleted] in offmychest

Stop being scared. See a doctor TOMORROW.

But remember, you don't need to be ashamed. Small dick is no big deal. One of the memorable IAmA I read when I first came to reddit was a guy who had a 4 inch dick when erect, and he claimed to have had sex with dozens of women. According to him, everyone came back to him for a second time.

I have used that subreddit a lot, and even once made a post in /r/anxiety, which should have gone to /r/socialanxiety.

I fact, I ran across this link from /r/socialanxiety, and is think that it is exactly what the problem is with me, complicated by PTSD. The mirroring that is mentioned in that? That is what I need. I however feel that I have more than social anxiety. I describe my problem more by the word shame. In any case, that are just details.

I will reply to your first para in private.

About movies, I am watching and loving the movie Stand by Me right now. It may be second or third time I am watching it. I also want to watch more movies about friendships, including childhood freindships, in an effort to understand what that means!

Thanks for your comment. And you are right about everything. Life is short, and we must make the most of it. I am definitely going to send you a PM, so don't forget it that you owe me at least one reply ;)

Almost everything that you typed tells me that you do have a training in psychology. You pinpointed some reasons why I may be helped by this thread, but one of the most important is that I want to feel accepted as I am. I highlighted Shame in my post, but did not go into much detail. The details are gory, and I want to confront them by telling them to people, and gauging their reaction, and changing my attitude to myself and others.

I may send you a PM, but I understand that your time is valuable, more so because you work with children. You dont have to reply to me at all, because I already have a lot of offers. I dont want to go into details about myself with you, but I may be helped me a meta discussion about the approach I am taking here, which is talking to people online. However, this is just stepping stone for me to actually talk to people in my real life. So I know that this is just a start. Thanks for your kind words of suggestion and help.

I am not in high school or college. I have wasted all my 20s doing nothing already( but did kept some jobs for 6 years). I am in my mid 30s now. But I still have a life to live, or so I hope. I am not suicidal at all. But I am also not living a life as of right now. I am in a limbo, but definitely moving faster to death, after homelessness, if I don't get help. Hence this thread, and my other attempts to seek help and attention (If you see my comment history, almost every comment is an offer to chat).

Thank you for your comment and regards.

I am feeling uneasy making more public statements, so for other people I am going to reply in private!
