VANDENAL's Life: Unfolding on GTPlanet

[itsbenjibrand]

Okay, I have no problem with comments, criticisms, or whatever. But is it really necessary to go dig up Type S Tony's post (no offense to him, I somewhat agree with him), especially considering in my last 3 posts I've mentioned how life is going well, basically meaning I don't really need a ton of advice. Thanks, things are going well now, call me a selfish 🤬 or whatever, but my post was merely to provide a quick update, not to restart this thread. I really do value input though. But please, just let this thread go old for a while.

Wow. Excuse me for just going off of the OP. This is my frist visit to your diary thread.

I created this thread as a tool to help me deal with the problems in my life and help me realize and place importance in the sucesses in my life. I welcome any comments, I don't care if they're harsh or if they're supportive.

Have to say Vandenal, dismissing Villan's post is a bit out of order....

I know things are going good at the moment, and thats great, but, you did create this thread and as Villan highlighted in bold, you did say you welcome all comments.

You yourself said you would look back on this thread one day and reflect on how bad things were at this stage in your life, so don't dismiss it when times are good, use it to value what you have now.

To be frank, I think an apology to Villian is in order....because from what I have read you seem like an ok guy, and your reaction to his post was not ok.

I'm not trying to get on your case, and i'm not trying to attack you so please try not to be offended by what I have written 👍

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm sticking my nose somewhere I shouldn't, but, I don't see what was wrong with what Vandenal said. He wants this thread to somewhat die but now not only has it been reincarnated, but we have gone off-topic.

Clearly what I said has been misinterpreted. I said I value EVERYBODYs input, so Villian its fine. I keep thinking this thread is a lot older than it really is. I got confused, I apologize. Its that now things are going great, and there are few problems, I just felt like digging up my past would bring me down again last night, which is why I made such a post. I should know better than that. I wasn't dissing your post at all, if you interpreted it that way then whatever. I'm here to make friends, not problems. Continue to talk as you wish in this thread, but know that my life has changed a lot since thread post one.

My visitor message when talking to Louie_Schumii clarifies my opinion:

Agghh... I got Villain angry for one post I made, for which madmike1986 demanded I apologize to him. I made a post following that today about what was really meant by my post, that he misinterpreted what was said. Because frankly, in my mind I don't get what he's so mad about, I want the 'VANDENALs Life: Unfolding on GTP' thread, to die down, because my life is going well, and that thread was created when I felt constantly depressed. But I don't feel that way anymore. So why can't I question why people are trying to help me when I'm fine?

 

[MadMike'86]

Well I didn't demand you apologised, mearly suggested it....

I understand what you mean in the comments above, all that happened is the wording in your post to Villan was a little, err, off....but anyway, its all good.

I'm happy things are going better for you 👍

Quick suggestion, if you want this thread to die for a while, why not lock it for now?

Wasn't there some advice earlier in this thread about not sweating the small things? I'm not upset/offended and never was. I quoted his post because it was (suprisingly) good advice that I wanted to add to.

Honestly dude, the advice we're giving you is very general. It is not limited to recent events. Sure, you're on an upswing, and that's great. I'm happy for you. But it's not going to stay that way forever. Things happen that you may not have any control over whatsoever, and you'll have to deal with it. We're giving you "growing up" advice. You're better off taking it (with an obvious and healthy grain of salt) than thinking you're above it simply because you don't have any big time issues at the moment.

That being said, if you don't want any more advice and would prefer your thread to not be used then you might want to consider having it locked by a moderator. I'm sure that any moderator here would be more than happen to unlock it at a later date should you decide you have something you'd like to add or discuss. Other than that, this is an open forum and people have every right to post in whichever thread they want (as long as they don't break the AUP in doing so).

And I thank everyone for advice. All this advice is just overwhelming for me: Its just hard for me to contemplate how so many people can provide such good advice, when people here (in my town) couldn't even give a s:censored:t about me. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for all of this. I barely get any attention around my community, so all this attention just shocks me.
