I've been feelin' pretty low lately, and I don't know why. Many things have been frustrating me lately. Girls frustrate me; I can't understand them, and I always end up in the dreaded "friend zone". People in general frustrate me, especially rude people who don't return calls or texts; people who say will hang out with you and then blow you off or stand you up. It's been happening to me way too much lately and I'm dead sick of it. I just want respect!

However, I don't want to be known as a dreary person (a "Debbie Downer" if you will). A couple weeks ago, I saw a good friend of mine pass away at such a young age... he was only a year older than me: 20. He died just being a normal college student, out partying and whatnot. I saw all his friends and family he left behind at a funeral, and I tell you the amount of people that came to pay respects for him could've filled up Madison Square Garden. It was amazing how people can come together during times like these.

So lately, I've been trying to take this recent tragedy as a wake up call. I want to be someone who will be remembered for always being there, for being a great friend, son, brother, etc. I want to be remembered as a fun, loving, caring person. Is that so hard to do? Something like this can certainly change your perspective on life, and that's what happened to me. I want to make people happy, but unfortunately I've been having trouble with that lately because I can't even keep myself happy. I just want some respect after all the respect I give people, is this too much to ask? I suppose it's better to give than to receive, and maybe it will all come back around for me in the end... who knows. All I know is that I want to start anew, because maybe this "wake up call" is a second chance and everything may not be lost afterall.

Sorry for my rambling, but I just like writing how I feel, and if you had the patience to read this I thank you. I just hope I can be as good a person as I can possibly be on this board to you guys, don't be a stranger, send me a message. I'd love to talk. Cheers.

sounds like you're going through a pretty rough time. people frustrate me too. Everyone likes the feeling of having people around that respect and care about them, but while everyone is looking for respect from others it can often be easier to take than to give for some of the people around you. I'm very sorry to hear about your friend, that must be hard. i like to think that everything happens for a reason though, and you are obviously trying to open up your eyes and change your perspective, which is always refreshing. all respect-

I think some people on here need to invest in blogs

I understand what you are trying to be as a person becuase that's who I am too. I always try to be respectful, nice, and a person you can go to. And you know what, most of the time that's not how people see me. Most people don;t see past what they might hear about me, and I feel bad for them. My family and my closest friends know what kind of person I am, and that's all I really need. So you should really try to be a nice person (not saying you aren't already nice), and try to be the positive person. Not everyone might see that or respond to that, but those who know you best will see it and love you all the more for it.

 

If you ever want to talk, just send me a message.

 

Peace

 

Word of advice: Look at the quote in my signature. It really has helped me become more the person I want to be, so please take it to heart. Take changing your lifestyle one step at a time, begin with changing how you think.

i just have something to add: i admire you for trying to be as kind as possible, but if random people don't return kindness to you, don't bother anymore. Better to maintain those relationships that have something in them, if you know what I mean. ;)

i agree, I'm not gonna go out of my way to bother with people who couldn't give a rats ass about me

I think some people on here need to invest in blogs

 

funnily enough, i agree.

The problem is, we're all too lazy to maintain blogs so we just spout out stuff here

i'm far too lazy to keep up a blog, but like i said u didn't have to read this if you didn't want to (actually i didn't say that, but it's implied)....

Don't listen to HorrificAttack, he can just come off sounding a bit..."ripe" sometimes. This is the perfect place to come and tell us any problems you need to share. I know I like having the opportunity to help out people if they need advice, or just someone to lend them an ear.;)

why thank you :)

Or invest in Valium.

Then visit their blog.

 

I have a blog, but it's not a OMG I AM SO LONELY AND I HATE MY LIFE, kinda blog, I review movies/TV shows/albums and rant about things in those mediums that annoy me, I am doing one at the moment about spoilers in movie trailers and DVD/Book blurbs

I'm so sorry, Jeff! It must be tough, but at least you are taking the situation well and try to do great things. You are a good person and I'm sure that you'll be one that will always be remembered for the good! :nice:

 

And we're always here for you if you need to rant, we have those times and it's nice to have other people there to talk it out with you.
