[QUOTE="Empress, post: 2182746, member: 29753"] Of course you are. You just pretend you're not, so it doesn't break you. When you're in the subway and people don't sit next to you, or watch you pass in a disapproving stare, then you pretend not to notice and really concentrate on the videogames you're going to play. It's easy, but it's not helpful. "Change is on the horizon"? What do you think will happen? A gym coach accidentally knocks on your door and makes you excercise? Change is now, or change is not. But change is nowhere except inside of you. You really want just to get off easy, right? You're betraying yourself here. You "plan on making changes of some type for sure"? You know how often I said the exact same thing, while inherently knowing it was a lie? That's not motivation. Motivation would be to log off ENWorld, go outside and walk for a mile or two. Take one of your books, sit down whenever or at a café, and read if you want. Or plug your i-Pod in. But do something. Don't talk of doing something, do it. Have fun! Oh, that's precious. You dismiss our posts in one easy swipe. "Yeah, let them say what they want, they don't know me." Have you even read what people here wrote? You are no different than any of us. Funsagite wrote about his problems, several others did, too. What I'm telling you is what I would tell myself two years ago. You're not special. You're no more intelligent, or educated, or emotionally mature / vulnerable than 90% of us. We recognize you. Doesn't matter what shirt you wear. And that is actually meant positively. Well, I know I intended my words to pierce your shell. The fact that it makes you feel uncomfortable enough to try and end this discussion shows me I succeeded. But while our comments may have been mean, they were not mean-spirited. We just don't want you to become the Simpson's comic book guy. But I'll end this here, as well. I don't think there's much we can do, anyway, and the little what was possible, we did. It's up to you now. Do or don't. [/QUOTE]
