What made you sad today?

My mom went berzerk for no reason. :frowning:

I’m losing my hair and it’s getting harder to groom what’s left to make it less noticeable. I may begin to have it cut short.

Shave it. It’s pretty easy to maintain.

Not yet, but definitely soon. My Dad does the same with his hair and my head is becoming the same as his.

My friend telling me a bunch of kids were asked if they were honest, and everybody raising their hand; when asked what they’d do if they found $200, they all replied “keep it”. I told him that’s funny if they were joking, but disappointing if they were serious.

After a lot of deliberation I decided that I had to end a relationship with someone. What started out as a seemingly healthy relationship took an unexpected turn and started becoming toxic and I just had to back out of it to protect my sanity. It hurts. It’s going to hurt for a while I can imagine.

My social anxiety is crippling me.

I know exactly what you mean. Going through that with one of my other friends. He means well, but the way it comes across just doesn’t translate well. Like I say, sometimes it’s not what you say, but how you say it.

Better exemplified by Ken Watanabe in one of the latest IBM commercials: “You have to learn the subtlety of language to deliver a compelling performance.”

I wish we could hang out and be socially crippled together.

It’s going to hurt a lot less than staying would have. Good call.

Well, it would have if things hadn’t been sorted out thanks to a third party. The whole mess turned out to be a big misunderstanding on both our parts. We were both stressed out and between our personal natures and the situation it created a scenario that just pushed us both to our breaking points and things got messy. Since then we’ve been talking things out and the whole situation may have actually helped our relationship in the long run. But as it was happening it was very painful. Things still aren’t 100% either, but we’re both getting there.

Some of my posts in the Quotes thread dealing with some really deep, and sometimes emotional, stuff. The latest and deepest was from “Person of Interest: BSoD” (s05e01):

The Machine questions Finch’s decision to erase its memory every night at midnight, relating the loss of its memories/identity to death…and Finch tries to reverse his decision, but is a minute too late. The clock has struck midnight.

I usually waste my liking privileges in the How many likes do you have thread, but maybe it’ll cheer some people in here up. So have some free likes. :grin: :grin: :grin:

EDIT: dang it discourse! Don’t worry I’ll be back in about five hours.

2EDIT: Went through all my likes for today. I’ll come back tomorrow and try to continue making my way up the thread.

Likes in a sadness thread seems backwards. I’d go to the happy thread lol

But their already happy. I’m not ‘liking’ their sadness, just trying to brighten their day a little. I could try posting inspirational quotes if that would help better.

Personally, please no. Thanks for the likes as is. It is a little strange liking things in this thread(something I’ve thought on before), but it is nice to see that orange notification of wonder in the top sometimes.


OT: Mom got caught on an OUI(Operating instead of Driving is what they’re caling it here) Sunday night. While still under probation for her first OUI. Which is so ■■■■■■■ stupid of her. So ■■■■■■■ stupid.
She let her employers know what happened this time, and today they called and left a message for her(which I can’t easily get to her) and here I am thinking she’s probably fired now.

Don’t worry the whole inspirational quotes thing was more of a joke than anything. They don’t really work for me and I figure it wouldn’t work for anyone else either.

As for the liking thing. I know it’s small, but I figured it might be at least something. I know emotions are complex and often overwhelming. So yes in the grand scheme of it a like probably does very little to help someone.

I’m not trying to give the wrong message or make a joke out of it. I know what it can be like to just ‘exist’. It’s dull. The whole world seems to just congeal into this one giant grey mess. The only thing you feel is a pit in your stomach and a headache when you think about it to much. Not to mention how people can just make it feel worse.

Constantly poking and prodding you to talk or feel better, they think their helping, but their not. Not that I blame them, it can be hard to understand after all. But most people just want someone to sit and listen instead of constantly making noise to make them feel better. Unfortunately the worlds lacking in people who are willing to listen(might be why some people are so rowdy these days).

So this entire spewl is me trying to say I get how it can feel. I can understand how some people might take it the wrong way though, so I think I’ll stop.
PS: sorry for the rant and being a little hypocritical(whole making noise thing).

Found out that a couple people I knew in highschool died of heroin (overdose?). I didn’t particularly care for them and I know one of them was kind of an untrustworthy ■■■■, but no one deserves that (drug addiction or the death associated with it).
