If he didn't need shoes why would he even have any to give?

One presumes he wasn't born footless, since that's quite rare. So he'd have had a collection prior to his podectomy.
 
I guess not having any feet he wouldn't need any shoes, so you could take his from him and then you'd have shoes.

But why would the man with no feet have shoes in the first place ?....
 
Maybe he put the shoes on his hands, and walked around that way. It'd be hard to walk around on feet if you didn't have any.
 
I was born with a serious heart condition and ive had 6 open heart surgeries by the time i was 14.. Im not expecting any sympathy but im just pointing out your not the only one. heaps are people are far worse off then me so thats what i remember.

Dude you might think you have it hard but i can say soo many people have worse.

Fryz - In a fair world, you would be far to young to be giving out words like this. Yet, it's not, and you've grown far wiser than people twice your age - yours truly included.. More +rep for you (Like you need it ;-)
 
This bloke has no feet, yet is wearing a pair of sandals...

"I complained of having no shoes
Until I met the man who had no feet."

Old quote, not sure of the source.

I guess not having any feet he wouldn't need any shoes, so you could take his from him and then you'd have shoes.

If he didn't need shoes why would he even have any to give?

If he had feet in the first place, but later lost them, he would've had shoes


One presumes he wasn't born footless, since that's quite rare. So he'd have had a collection prior to his podectomy.

But what if they're a different size?

His feet? Wouldn't matter - they'd have been in a hospital incinerator by then.

But why would the man with no feet have shoes in the first place ?....

Just LOL.



And about the thread, Duke said it all.

Maybe he sold shoes.

I mean, people with no sense run countries, people with no talent are famous, and people with no taste are fashionable...

... but back OT.

mnm_bmx - I think many people on here at your age have felt similar feelings. It's nice you can trust people (even though you say you don't) by putting comments onto this thread. Some people will tell you what they think and it might sting a little, and some people will be comforting and sympathetic. Everyone has an opinion, and by inviting others to comment you have bravely bared your soul.

I wish you well, I hope that as you sit here and read, you've either got the strength to (how was it put) 'suck it up', or perhaps even it just makes you a little bit mad at the world for being an unforgiving place, or more likely you're feeling something completely different. No matter which - "whatever doesn't kill us, makes us stronger".

I have known quite a few people of similar age to me (shhh, 33) with Asperger's Syndrome, which I believe is a form of Autism. Some of them are almost completely normal, and one or two of them have some very unique ideas about life and live it in a fabulously eccentric way. All of them are good people, most have learned to trust after spending rather confused childhoods without being diagnosed. If you know you are AS, then there are people who can help, and people who understand.

And finally, know this. People can be very private. They don't often want to bare their souls, certainly not on public forums. There are dark pages in my past I have tried to forget - no way am I typing them out on my keyboard. Discussions like that are probably best one-to-one, face-to-face. When you find someone who you can have that conversation with, you may have found a very dear friend indeed.

Good luck in your search.

Venari.
 

Why not.

And why hide the comments underneath 'why?'

Luckily, I don't have any yellow shirts. Except the one which reads "Kate's Autos: Get your big end serviced with a smile. No job too big! Kate caters for all bore and shaft sizes. A good head job would do wonders for your performance!" There's a nice picture of a Mercury Cougar on it. And a girl. Who is, ah, quite pretty. :)

Why are we here again?
 
Welcome to teenage life, mnm_bmx. In a few years you'll look back at this thread and wonder why you even posted it.

Sorry, but you'd get more sympathy if you didn't act as though you have it worse than anyone else. Though I can understand the sentiment -- I felt the same way in middle school (aka junior high). What you have to learn (like pretty much everyone else) is that bullies aren't worth fretting over. They're just kids who weren't smart enough to figure out a way to climb the social ladder without stepping on others.

Just keep on truckin', and by the time you're 18 years old things will have improved. Trust me.
 
It's absolutely unbelievable how much life (and people) change from the age of 13 to the age of 23. Definitely rough at times, but what seemed significant then is completely meaningless now.
 
Thanks guys for your comments.I really appreciate it! After reading the comments,i don't feel very unlucky compared to others (and after reading Jjacks thread,i feel very sad for him.) and maybe i've been through a lot and can't cope with my life.But at least you guys shine some light into my heart.Now realize something,i can live through my life without suffering so much as other have gone far worse than i did in my lifetime (so far) At least you all are not like my friends,they just take things for granted (they think their life is full of joy) and i think my life was almost in the realm of darkness.

I don't know about my friends life,but to me they could live so much happier than i do (and maybe its a fact that i regretted also.I tend to think about my future too fast too soon and started to panic,but thats just me)Am i being paranoid or anything?If so,then i really need good help from you guys.And can anyone here give an idea on what thread title should i put?(mine sounds like crap)But again,i thank you guys so much.I really feel better now (then yesterday)sorry if i typed like 🤬 yesterday,i just came back home from my hockey game and started typing what was the first thing that came into my mind.

Another note:Should this thread be closed or should i just keep it open for you guys to comment?
 
Looking at some of the not-so-sympathetic responses that appeared in here while you were gone, I wondered how you'd react when you came back. I must say you've taken it all rather well, embracing our advice instead of turning away when we told you that you weren't the only one. A sign of maturity. 👍

I don't think you're being paranoid. As we've said, your feelings are quite normal for someone your age, and the uncertainty of the future, particularly when thinking about making the transition to a University or to "the real world" in general, can be a frightening thing. My suggestion to you is to enjoy the present, live life a day at a time, and ignore those who want to make things hard on you. When the time comes to take the next big step in life, you'll be ready.

I think the thread can stay open.
 
make the most of what you got.

learn from the past but dont dwell in it.

I try to at least always focus on the positives, thats not to say im oblivious to the negatives. Im always aware of them and always try to combat them but i do not focus on them and let them bring me down. If you do that you will only create more pain and you will find yourself highly depressed. A lot of the times you cant do anything to change whats happened so all you can do is either learn from it if it was your mistake or just accpt what happened and then try to make it better or make the most of it.

Example....

I was born with a heart condition and because of that i had little energy and was always FAR shorter than everyone else (my brother whos 12 fits into my shorts when i was 16..) I could rarely play sport for school. However i was quite smart at school and i focused hard on keeping fit and eating well. After my last operation at 14 things really turned out well. I had a grow spurt (now im accptable 165cm 5'6) and due to puberty and keeping fit im now quite fitter than most "normal" people my age. I can do 1 hand pushups, handstand pushups, i ride dirtbikes, bmx and do all the normal things. Ive never used my condition as an excuse. Because of this i have many positives from my life. When i was 9 i got a wish granted to go to disneyland. I dont have a lot of stess in life because normal life problems are miniscule compared to what ive dealt with. I even use specific vocabluraly when talking about my condition to put a more positive spin on it. Its a heart condition not desease, small change but sounds better. Dealing with such issues makes you a stronger person and you will find yourself better equiped to take on the day to day life. I value my life highly and thus do not feel 10feet high and bullet proof which has led me to make a lot of the "unfun" decisions according to some of my peers which can sometimes seem like a bad thing but ultimatly i think its good.

Eitherway im sure you can work your way through the problem, just need to change your outlook on life and shift your focus towards dealing with the negatives and focusing more on the positives. Not only will the negatives become more ingsignificant (sp) but you will enjoy life so much more.

You only live once so make the most of it.

Anyway im always willing to help if you need it and im just one of quite a few people here who have gone through quite a bit in their life.
 
I remember a quote that could be attached to what Small_Fryz said, comes from a manga I watch with a rather philosophical cyborg in it...

"If a man looks too far into the past, he may lose sight of the future"
 
And that's why Small_Fryz is one of my heroes at GTP... him and James2097

Could not agree more if I tried 👍

@ mnm_bmx - I admire how you took the "beating" you got from this thread - And that you, as far as I can see, even learned a little ;-)
The easy teenage way would've been to explode, call us all b*tards and get banned, yet, you chose to learn - thumbs up and +rep to you for that !...
 
Thanks guys for your comments.I really appreciate it! After reading the comments,i don't feel very unlucky compared to others
I'm with Wolfe; you took this well. Teenage years can be tough because everything seems like it's the end of the world unless you decide to think instead of just feeling everything. Once you get the hang of that, not everything bad will devastate you.
Another note:Should this thread be closed or should i just keep it open for you guys to comment?
That's your choice. If you wish, I'll close it. But if you'd like it open for discussion, then that's fine too.
 
Well yeah,i think i should think positively no mater how bad,sad or even miserable you feel.Just get back up after you fell down (sorry if i can't rephrase that properly.I'm just a Malay) but could i ask a few question?Since most of you are adults and are working (and some of you are married and have kids..) so how do you manage to work,be with your families and still have time to be with friends and chat in forums?And was it a hard time after high school when you go to college or getting a job?

EDIT:I think its okay to keep this thread open,at least you guys could help me out here.
 
Since most of you are adults and are working (and some of you are married and have kids..) so how do you manage to work, be with your families and still have time to be with friends and chat in forums?

It's all about balance and getting your priorities right. Which is why i waste my works time when chatting on GTP ;)

And was it a hard time after high school when you go to college or getting a job?

It takes a bit of time getting used to the adjustment in lifestyle, but you soon get used to it. If you don't or didn't really enjoy school then you'll probably prefere the less regimented structure of college or work where you at least get treated like an adult.
