Gah, I just spent the better part of my day collecting resources and building a castle of stone in Minecraft. I think the worst part of it all was that I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I've been taking a step back lately and have been trying to see how other people view me in an effort to better myself. It's been quite emotional and eye-opening, I've never done it before. The general concensus from my friends is that I'm far too aggressive and 'completely fly off the handle about minor things'. Whoops. To be honest, I wouldn't want to spend much time with me if I were them, so I guess I've been quite lucky with the friends I have. Anyway, I'm now actively trying to take a calmer approach to life. I don't want people I meet to think I'm some human hurricane, whooshing through and destroying everything. Any tips or ideas, guys?
I don't want to take the morphine/prozac route, so I'm not going to follow a medical path with this.
What in particular makes you aggressive? If it's a certain scenario, try and remove yourself from that situation.
I can't care, so I won't.
That's the thing, it's not one particular thing. I think maybe I'm just generally quite highly strung.

Easier said than done though...
Hey, at least I've found a problem tea cannot solve.
I broke the "Boobs only avatars" rule that only applied to myself.

Parents split up today after 10 years and right when I probably need them most. Crying just typing this...
Why damn it why!

My parents have been way too close to a divorce twice already. Trust me, I felt like crap. I bawled just thinking about it; my house was a very stressful and sad place to be. But then I came to understand that it's the different the way you view your parent's relationship to another, younger couple's. But in reality, it's love that brings them together, and when there is no love there is, well, no point in being together. Just like any other relationship. I got to understand this and sometimes I actually wish they would divorce just to see them happy. But everything is getting well now.
I really wish you strength and understanding while you're going through this. If it makes your parent's happy, what's better than that?Think of it that way.
Thanks for the kind words 👍.
It just sucks more so because I need dad close by for my next two years of school to help me out. Also to help me out with working on a car and all that stuff mum doesnt do...
Eh, my father just died a horrible and painful death that I was there to witness the rougher bits of. Not like I had to deal them splitting up. That said, I was too young to fully feel what happened, and even after I was capable of feeling it, I didn't feel that bad. I wonder if I'm just apathetic like that.

Ditto to what Allyn said - you've got family, friends. And even if you think you don't, you do. And you've got us on GTP as well. Hell - this is probably my first internet family. A good metaphor would be a school. Jordan's the Principal, the Admins are the deputies, the Super-Mods the deans, Mods are the teachers. All the premos are the kiss-ups who buy apples for the teachers. And there's usually some dumb asses around who seek attention by spamming and getting banned.
There's people who are going through a hard time now, and people who aren't. You have friends at school, and some people who.. aren't friends. How would you like it if you found out someone at your school died? It happened at my school last year. There was something hanging in the air for a few weeks or so. Everyone was just quiet...
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go place a thumb tack on a supermod's chair![]()
