Confession Booth

[Alex.]

Anes has a point but he's not orchestrating it the right way in my opinion. If someone wants to get back to their best they often need a kick up this arse but not too hard.

+1

Anes has a point, although he is being rather blunt about it. Even without resorting to the military, I think some definite structure could benefit 'Cuda a lot. Combined with forced therapy like McLaren said, I bet he could get back to normal after some time.

 

[McLaren]

I'm not trying to insult him. It's actually my version of advice. I think 'cuda is a little melodramatic nancy boy. He needs a teaspoon of concrete and I think the defence force would toughen him up and teach him some discipline real quick. You wanna try sneaking off from your crew for drinks in the Army? Pfft good luck considering that a second time.
...

'Cuda, do yourself a favor & add this guy to your ignore list.

You obviously have not been following his posts for the past few months. The military only fixes those who are normally juveniles or lazy people. They do not fix people who contemplate suicide, esp. to the point where they begin making nooses & putting it around their necks, only to stop just before the final kick of the chair.

He does not need the military & they won't put up with him until he finally kills himself. He is not drinking & smoking just for the fun of it. It's his depressant (he's already said smoking a cigarette is what just kept him from killing himself because it mellowed him out) & when he can't get it, he may go through with a suicide.

What he needs is therapy, so he can stop relying on the drugs & booze, and deal with why he feels his life isn't worth living. You can't just yank that away from him like in the military, he'll run back to making a noose. If I was over there, I'd personally make the effort to meet up & help him myself b/c he obviously needs some support that he isn't getting from his friends.


In really plain terms, GTFO of this thread with that crap you call advise. Whether it's the GT5 forum, the Motorsport forum, or this thread, you seem to cause tension with everyone & then cry that no one agrees with your posts. So, my confession is that you need to do what you said you'd do here...

Done with this thread and most likely forum jesus christ

 

[Alex.]

Not too sure he was on about Cigarettes Mclaren. Other than that spot on.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

But don't you see? I'll call him that and tell him to toughen up. I'm giving him a chance to take a step forward right there in my post. He shouldn't care what I call him!

When people are depressed name-calling doesn't really help. Imagine if you were having a bad day and then your dad/best friend/whoever told you you were a waste of space. I suspect that less than 0.01% of people in that situation would actually get motivated to fix their problems or change their outlook for the better.

 

[Bram Turismo]

So my ex has a new boyfriend, and I don't know why but it's really bothering me. You would think that since I broke up with her I would have no issues at all but it's been 1.5 years now and I'm still bothered by our break-up. Bah, I guess it all will go over once we graduate and the distance between us gets bigger.

So, is this feeling typical or does it hint otherwise?

 

[Joey D]

It's typical, I wouldn't worry to much about it though. Just find someone else you are happy with and you'll forget all abouty your ex and any feelings you have/had should go away.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

It's nice to hear from you again 'Cuda, and Anes, I understand the help you try to give but depression that deep is a hard thing for someone stable to contemplate. I know the feeling, it sucks, I just kept going day by day. My life might have slapped me around so many times that I should be the dead one, but you just have to think what you can live for, and what you mean to live on this earth. And I'm glad to hear about the job/life thing, seems like a nice baby step foward. And it helps. 👍

 

[Neal]

Well said McLaren 👍

It is perfectly normal but I recommend Cartman's method of daily revenge against Kyle from the latest episode of South Park.

I wouldn't be surprised if she'd come in my face with her boyfriend one day to piss me off but I'm not playing that game.

My university is full of amazing girls but I'm just far too insecure to even dare and try something. I'll guess I just have to stop thinking about it and before I know I might meet someone.

Whether it's the GT5 forum, the Motorsport forum, or this thread, you seem to cause tension with everyone & then cry that no one agrees with your posts. So, my confession is that you need to do what you said you'd do here...

One of my favourite quotes is "Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledge hammer and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention".

It's a shame it came from the mouth of a serial killer but oh well.

I generally see things in a different light to the majority of people. I am very much a realist and I don't mind speaking my mind. I offer a completely different way of thinking. I've given 'cuda a totally different direction to take (sigh .. I'm not talking about the defence force calm down). I'm interested to hear from the man himself to see if I've changed his perspective for the better. His main problem I have noticed is his poor me attitude. I'll stop short at calling that selfish but I've already posted about him not being the only one.

As for the 'disease' depression, I don't even believe in it. It's just a state of mind. An excuse for the weak to fall back on.



Now, I butted heads with the egotists of this site when I made a GT5 thread in an attempt to help the community but I had to ask to get it locked because certain people were focused on destroying it. But it's my fault .. right?

The motorsport section I call out the fakes because believe it or not I made it to a pretty high level of motorsport in my country and I can spot the dreamers from a mile away. They don't seem to like that. My fault again carry on.

 

[Alex.]

Hitting them with a sledge hammer may get their attention but it could also hurt them and give a negative opinion of you to the guy who's attention you want.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

As for the 'disease' depression, I don't even believe in it. It's just a state of mind. An excuse for the weak to fall back on.

I take it you've never been depressed.

 

[Anes]

Hitting them with a sledge hammer may get their attention but it could also hurt them and give a negative opinion of you to the guy who's attention you want.

I'm ok with that. What he thinks of me is irrelevant and I suspect old spygate up there is happy using a sledge hammer on me too.

I take it you've never been depressed.

Well I spent a good few months in a state that could be identified as depression but I never viewed it as depression myself. I was just glum and down on my luck is all.

The 'disease' wasn't around 100 years ago. Before that people just had to, wait for it, toughen up. Is a psychiatrist a product of capitalism?

You were not being a realist. You were insulting him & giving him bad advice.

A direction he obviously does not have the will to take. Someone else needs to step in & do it for him.

He is not a "poor me". I'm guessing you've read 2 of his posts at the very most, but I find it very serious when someone says they're punching walls, & putting nooses around their neck. Now, if he is making this up just for fun & sympathy, fine, he's on his own. But until that point is proven, he is using this forum as a way to vent his frustrations, and if it's helping him in any way, then let him.

Further proof to me that you should not be giving any advice to 'Cuda.

The way you reacted, you are as much to blame.

The motorsport section I call out the fakes because believe it or not I made it to a pretty high level of motorsport in my country and I can spot the dreamers from a mile away. They don't seem to like that. My fault again carry on.

You didn't call out fakes. You flat out made a stupid post saying there is no bravery in F1 & cited that you somehow are more than qualify to make such statements.

The 'disease' wasn't around 100 years ago. Before that people just had to, wait for it, toughen up. Is a psychiatrist a product of capitalism?

Even more proof you need to stop talking about the topic of depression. It dates back all the way to the 18th century under the term Melancholia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_depressive_disorder

I don't know if this will help you change a small idea Anes, but it might shed some light on a true disorder. And I'd mind if you'd back off from 'Cuda for now,

 

[Anes]

The fact that you think that quote is actually worth something says a lot.

Interesting.

Take a look at your last posts

You were not being a realist. You were insulting him & giving him bad advice.

That's subjective. And I am being a realist but you're just being closed minded.

A direction he obviously does not have the will to take. Someone else needs to step in & do it for him.

Sounds like something the Army can do amirite?

Yes lets all complain. As long as there is a place where we can complain then everything is golden.

Further proof to me that you should not be giving any advice to 'Cuda.

If depression isn't a state of mind than what else can it be? A growth? Depression is all in your head. Change your way of thinking and it no longer exists.

You didn't call out fakes. You flat out made a stupid post saying there is no bravery in F1 & cited that you somehow are more than qualify to make such statements.

If you can sit there with a straight face and say that modern drivers are braver than the guys pre millennium than you have a serious lack of judgement.

Even more proof you need to stop talking about the topic of depression. It dates back all the way to the 18th century under the term Melancholia.

I love the Smashing Pumpkins!


"is a mood disorder of non-specific depression, characterized by low levels of both enthusiasm and eagerness for activity."

Sounds like they need a boot up their arse to get them moving...




And ok Prologue

 

[McLaren]

That's subjective. And I am being a realist but you're just being closed minded.

Nope. You're just being an ass as usual & causing tension again. Nothing you said is a view of how things really are like you claim.

Sounds like something the Army can do amirite?

Wrong again. Already said why.

Yes lets all complain. As long as there is a place where we can complain then everything is golden.

He's not actually complaining.

If depression isn't a state of mind than what else can it be? A growth? Depression is all in your head. Change your way of thinking and it no longer exists.

You should just stick to what you know, which doesn't seem to be anything to go with this discussion.

If you can sit there with a straight face and say that modern drivers are braver than the guys pre millennium than you have a serious lack of judgement.

Didn't say that. You're still wrong that they aren't brave though.

Sounds like they need a boot up their arse to get them moving.

Yeah, just be quiet now. You don't know a thing about depression & believe it doesn't exist, yet over 300 years of research says otherwise. But you're still right b/c you say so.

Now let's just skip the part where other people chime in with their opinions on your "views", so you can post about how everyone is against you just because & rage quit the forum.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Okay Anes, I hate to getin the middle of Round 3 with McLaren, but do you really understand what depression is? It's not the feeling when you accidentally spilled Chinese food on you new pants and being sad, no, it's full-🤬 blown feelings of death. You don't want to ive anymore. I've honestly myself pondered just ridding of myself of the earthly burden I'm stuck with. I didn't. I hope Barracuda doesn't. You can't just fix the problems of depression, it's a horribly traumatization that puts you on the brink. I really hope both of stop wearing your asses for hats (no offense to either of you, but it's getting out of hand) and just get along. Were not here to argue over Barracuda's depression, but help it in a positive way that you would find of utmost suitabiltiy.

 

[Anes]

I'll just chuckle to myself about how people are incapable of seeing things from a different position. As I've already said, he doesn't have to listen but it is there.

It's also wrong because it goes against mainstream opinion. You should work for the Vatican Bruce.

The interesting part is I've had those thoughts as well. So have hundreds of millions of other people.

Do you understand?

 

[McLaren]

It's not a different position. It's just flat out bad advise b/c you haven't been reading his posts since the beginning.

The interesting part is I've had those thoughts as well. So have hundreds of millions of other people.

Do you understand?

Just quit. Oh wait, you are. Thank god.

 

[Anes]

Well I could easily continue.

>Implying he's unique to everyone else who "suffers from depression".

The quicker he (and you) realise he's not the first person to ever feel like this the better.

Just quit. Oh wait, you are. Thank god.

>Implying there's actually something to win in this thread.

And with that realisation I really will leave as I don't agree with that one bit.

 

[Diego440]

You must be a real treat during saturday nights.

No, really

 

[Talon]

If depression isn't a state of mind than what else can it be? A growth? Depression is all in your head. Change your way of thinking and it no longer exists.

I'm not taking Anes' side with this, but how is this quote wrong? Depression isn't a physical condition, so it has to all be in your head, right?

 

[motortrend]

Well if you think about depression it is in your minds and sometimes people can't change it, because it's you and what you feel like, and in a way what you are. Everyoe is different, and you can't really change who they are, people just adapt to things. Depression is kinda like love, which is just a complicated feeling caused by hormones and chemical reactions that make us act this way, bacause after all, that's all we are. Very complicated chemical reactions. This makes me think about what has life and what doesn't and what makes something have life and not. WOA

 

[Northstar]

The motorsport section I call out the fakes because believe it or not I made it to a pretty high level of motorsport in my country and I can spot the dreamers from a mile away. They don't seem to like that. My fault again carry on.

And when the "fakes" respond to you, you completely ignore them. Why? Is it because you know they are right?

On that subject, you never did mention what you raced(Note: you have to prove your claims here, if you say you made it to a high level of racing, you better have made it, this is in the AUP you agreed to)

It's funny how you call everyone that disagrees with you an "elitest" or an "egoist", yet you display the same qualities.

I'm not taking Anes' side with this, but how is this quote wrong? Depression isn't a physical condition, so it has to all be in your head, right?

More or less he is saying that they can just simply "cure" it by thinking about better things, this is just not the case. If it were there would be no need for insane asylums.

 

[Small_Fryz]

You must be a real treat during saturday nights.

No, really

Multi-thread humour FTW 👍

And for thread purpose, As I understand it, depression is caused by chemical unbalance? It isn't as simple as "changing" your thoughts overnight.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Well I could easily continue.

>Implying he's unique to everyone else who "suffers from depression".

The quicker he (and you) realise he's not the first person to ever feel like this the better.

Dude, what is the problem. So what he's not the first person, HE NEEDS SOME HELP! God, can anyone get it through that depression is a problem either genetic or mentally, that causes a person extreme levels of sadness. You can't go off changing it. It's impossible. It takes years of therapy and help for it to subside. Damn, I'm 14, and I still haven't gotten over it, it doesn't just happen. You've really got yourself in a deep hole. Jeez, do you really think that depressed people just walk around feeling l;ke crap because they can? No, they have no other choice because life is ****. Barracuda is a good member, but he faces depression, a problem, whether how in this damn world you see it, and it needs fixed. I hate to get snappy with you (really?) but damnit I know about this a lot more than you will EVER know. You have no idea how hard it is to handle a tough life, maybe it's because some people have a bad mental stability. But I wouldn't argue anymore; if you even had an idea what someone MY AGE has already gone through. I feel like I've lived a wole life now, but no, I'm still here. I recommend you honestly think of what youm are saying, and a question I have for you is how old are you?

And right now, I don't care if the post seems harsh enough for warning or infraction.

 

[Anes]

Damnit I want to leave this thread as it's (like most threads) turned into winning an argument 👎

And when the "fakes" respond to you, you completely ignore them. Why? Is it because you know they are right?

On that subject, you never did mention what you raced(Note: you have to prove your claims here, if you say you made it to a high level of racing, you better have made it, this is in the AUP you agreed to)

You can choose to believe me or not I don't care and it's not worth ruining my anonymity to prove a point. I can tell you how to flat shift a V8 Supercar if you wish. I can tell you the route you need to take through the pit building at Albert Park to stand on the F1 podium, if you wish. I can even tell you the The Chase at the end of Conrod Straight is barely a corner as the track widens rather than turns if I must but I really don't give a nun's nasty if you believe me or not.

When I talked about wet weather on a street track with 5th gear wheelspin in a straight line I knew instantly from your comments you weren't in a position to comment about the Korean GP's delay. You even called puddles standing water.

It's funny how you call everyone that disagrees with you an "elitest" or an "egoist", yet you display the same qualities.

No I'm forever having to defend my opinion as it's almost always different.

More or less he is saying that they can just simply "cure" it by thinking about better things, this is just not the case. If it were there would be no need for insane asylums.

I never said depression "sufferers" are worthy of an asylum

I'm 25 and I do have an idea how tough life can be just like every other person. And your idea of a tough life pales by comparison to a 14 year old from Somalia, for example. It's all about perspective.

And right now, I don't care if the post seems harsh enough for warning or infraction.

Harsh? Not at all.

You must be a real treat during saturday nights.

No, really

I'm great fun on a saturday night as I'm carefree and fun loving and am unlikely to complain about a photo getting posted in the wrong thread of a website.
