How I can't fit in with anything. I don't mind not fitting in with other teenagers, but when you can't even join a family conversation due to it ending when you enter the room. They're not talking about me because I can hear them clearly. You just feel as if you aren't a person. And I doubt my "friends" stick around through friendship, but I believe it's because they can't get rid of me. It's like being in a world where everybody is full of hate towards me for no reason. What did I do to them, yeah if their ideas are stupid, I tell them so even if it hurts them. What's wrong with that, they needed to know otherwise they'd go wrong and it would be incredibly difficult to correct it. So what, people who are truthful, and blunt are just cast aside because no one wants to accept that they're not perfect? All this modern filming, TV, is showing that people can be perfect. And it's pushing people to think they can be perfect. Then someone tells them that they're wrong and then they push them out of the way just because they want to be perfect? :confused:

You're obviously not a "perfect" person if you do either of these things: 1) Push people away because they think your idea isn't so perfect, or 2) You believe in the phrase, Nobody's perfect, which is of course true.

I'm beginning to wonder if I belong anywhere at all? What do I do wrong, huh? What am I too blunt, too mature, too "uncool," too opinionated? What is the big answer, where am I going wrong?

Such as...? Find something for him to do, then problem solved.

Just stuff about people I don't even know, why would you tell me about someone I don't know? Does he think I care at all? He wants to watch it to otherwise he wouldn't even be here.

Every time he speaks about something unrelated to the show, change the topic to something happening in the auction and completely ignore the previous topic. Works on my siblings. Though, they'll give me a weird look and decide to talk about the new topic anyways. Win-win situation. Unless you prefer watching in silence. In that case, turn the TV off every time he speaks. Turn it on when he decided to be quiet. "Rinse and repeat."

:lol: I like watching in silence but now my dad is also watching it so I can't do that. Now he shut up since my dads here though.
 
God, a woman not replying to my texts.

But then, she's tired (as she has said before) so I accept that. And yeah, how the fact that CERTAIN ciders just makes me hyper and makes me stay up WAY past my natural time for sleeping (which was 8pm, its now 12:30am!)

Additionally, the bloody alarm clock woke me up at bleeding 5am instead of 6:10am for work. Confused all day I was!

I teach swimming to young children and it was humourous. But some hyperactive kids always makes it a challenge to teach.... especially when I am in the water and can't actually hear them talking. Its like a Silent film at times.

BIZARRE.

But fun.
 
Going to put it short and sweet here. Well, I spend a lot of my time helping others when they feel sad. However, now I feel down, and the people I helped can't even be bothered to even try to help me. I'm sick of it, it grinds my gears. It makes me VIOLENT. Now I pretty much tell them all to go 🤬 themselves because they are all pathetic, manipulative bastards who could care less about me. Why are people so damn cruel? -End of rant.

I can assure you, as someone who endured a tough teenagehood as a social outcast and has always found it difficult to make friends, that if you just be yourself, you'll find a level of contentedness that will help you get through each day. It's cliche for people to say "just be yourself" but it really works. I only wish I had a time machine so I could go back and warn/slap my 15-16 year old self.

I don't have many friends, and certainly not many good/close friends but the ones I do have, I am extremely fortunate for and they know that. It was not until I was 17 that I ever, ever began to come out of my shell and be myself. It really does not matter what other people think. Of course, your family is important but not everybody is close with their family members.

I have friends who understand and appreciate me for exactly who I am, even though I'm a grammar nazi with such banal, uninteresting interests. I never went out delibrately looking for these people. That would be trying to 'fit in' and not really being myself and I'm sure if you do the same, if you just relax, forget what random people or people you don't like think about you, then you will slowly begin to fit into a social group with likeminded people. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but it will happen.

Still my brother. I do all the shoveling which means he doesn't have to and guess what? He's still an ass. Stupid ignorant 🤬. I can't wait for the day that he moves out and I never need to speak to the jackass again.
 
Like? He's such a stubborn and snobby asshole. Its funny really how when he actually gets a job if he continues how he is now he'll get fired really quickly. I really hope my dad doesn't follow through and hire him. He's lazy and he never commits to anything. He said he was gonna go in to work last week and he just went and hung out with friends. Later that day he days I'll go in tomorrow and guess what? Went and probably did drugs. The other day he goes in the morning with my dad and complains he's sick halfway through the day and when he gets home goes out with some friends. Why my dad is still web gonna let him come to work I don't 🤬 know. That pisses me off so much. I don't get any praise or anything for doing everything he asks me and more. If I say I'm going to work I go to work. If I say I'm gonna help him with yard work or something with his car, I do it. He asks me to shovel snow I do it and don't complain. My brother either puts it off and makes up an excuse or just makes up an excuse to get out of it.

Sorry for the wall o' text, but I need to vent.
 
You can convince your parents to send him to Boot Camp, AKA Military school. I got that from the Dairy of a Wimpy Kid :dopey:
 
My friends think I'm stupid because I don't use assists when racing. They always use Le Mans cars and I can't drive those well without assists.
 
Depends on the assists. If you're using the TCS and ASM, I don't see a problem with that. Don't the actual drivers using LMP cars use TC?

I don't think they can because of his medical conditions. :( But I know my mom definitely wants to.

You should join the military waffles! With your love of FPS you would have your dream job! You could pull off headshots and protect our country at the same time! It would be a win-win!

There is no respawning though.

:lol: I don't think I'm it enough but it's always been in the back of my mind. If I was as good as I was in Battlefield 3 I don't think I would hesitate. :P

That is part of the problem. I am myself and no one can really appreciate it. The thing is that when I am around people they seem fine, but when I do something like, ask to go to their house or visit them in town or something they really don't like the idea, though they'd do that with other people. That then drove me into just being a bit anti social, they DO know this but they seem to not like the idea of me not asking or anything. :odd: Like they want people to offer but they'll never accept. Any "friends" I have just violently stab me in the back (not literally).

But if that never takes off? I'll be as useful as some doggy doos in a drain that was already blocked on each sides by leaves.

I think some GT cars do, so LMP must.

I think it's fine if you use TCS. LMPs are known for their large rear torque, and will be disastrous if not modulated.

I'll try that out next time I race with them.

It's very simple. Switch off electrical devices Internet connection, then put said electrical device away and lie down in the dark.
