Oh man Crystal :X So sorry to hear that, that's awful. I'll be praying for you and their family.
Haha don't think too much! I think there's a tendency to focus on success cases instead of the many difficulties involved in these relationships, so it may not be what it usually seems.
There are a lot of difficulties and many relationships don't last, but I know a handful of couples now who have gotten married/are getting married and it first started as a long distance relationship. Which is admirable to me, because I don't think I could connect with someone that well without the intimacy in person. Though part of it could be I just have no interest right now and every attempt someone makes.. just irritates me.

In the five semesters I've spent in college, I haven't even made a single friend. And I fully admit it's for lack of even trying. It partially had to do with shyness, and partially to do with my massive inferiority complex. It's gotten better over the last year or two, but it's still a long way from cured. I recently decided I was gonna try to be more social, and the perfect opportunity arose a couple weeks ago when this girl in my math class stopped to talk to me. I felt I couldn't waste the opportunity, and was gonna become friends with her. Unfortunately…I don't remember how anymore. :/ It's literally been over 10 years since I made a new friend in person.

Don't wory about it Dan. Try talking about various things you like and try to get a conversation going.
Not the best at this thing too but that's due to my other problems, oen of them being parents who almost don't make me wish I was adopted by Claude Frollo.

When I was in uni I'd just listen to what the people next to me were saying, if it was interesting I'd make a joke relevant to the subject to break my way into the conversation.
I made pretty much all my friends at uni that way, I'd say it's pretty good, give it a shot.

When I was in college I found my "circle" by joining the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Society. Naturally in a group like that there were a lot of shy girls (women's college here), but when we were all a bunch of nerds it wasn't hard to get the ball rolling because we all had the same interests. We also had events/games every week during meetings, like Geek Jeopardy.
When I was the shy freshman, just starting, I managed to gather up my courage in my house dining room (my college had houses, not dorms), and went to a round table and simply asked, "Can I sit here?" The girls let me sit. Then it was just a matter of listening to the conversation and asking questions.
These were all little steps I took when starting college. Maybe they can help you get your start?

Do you like sports? Another easy way to get back into the groove of interaction are sports.
Conversations just flow during the game and afterwards and you don't have to consciously think of what to talk about.
Also do not be afraid of people. They are only human and everyone has their problems. There is not reason to feel inferior, just be open and polite. You can do it, man! CHEERSThings I think are cool!

I was thinking about the solicitation yesterday some more and how it gave me weird feelings and I realized I still actually do not really like being around men IRL. I don't like thinking about it, or acknowledging it, because it makes me feel like a weird victim but I am. I don't like people touching me, or going near me, and sometimes I have incredibly deep sexual thoughts where I have the most sadistic turn ons but when it comes to thinking about sex with men I just feel I could never. It doesn't even feel sexual, it just feels weird and gross.
But past that I don't think I'm capable of a real relationship ever. And men are really scary to me actually. And I'm very asexual probably forever. The end. I'm sorry men, but I don't like being around you unless I've known you for years online and I'm comfortable seeing you. Haha. I'm kind of a mess.
(This isn't a weird fucked up mental stressed out post, I'm just kind of calmly realizing all over again.)

I'm not real trusting of getting romantically involved with men because of things, too. I mean, the right guy will be the right guy, but the right guy will never be the one that says "Hey I just met you, I think i'm falling for you hard." or "I like plump girls." or anything remotely hinting they want to have sex with me. You just don't fucking say stuff like that when you don't know the person that well! Nooo
I am in no way emotionally attracted to the idea of dating women, It's just not for me. So I would rather be cautious and single and wait until some guy is polite enough to let his interests me known in a low-pressure pressure way and immediately jump into telling me that I fit his fetish type or he's met me once and he's already in love with me. No. Do not want and do not trust.
Any man that would try to attack me/abuse me/think they could control me, be fucking warned now. Think of the most awful way to die, and that's what will happen if you come at me. Hell fucking no.
Yes I know i'm crazy. I don't think it's appropriate to air those reasons here, but I went through some really bad shit when I was a small child.
I am in a really tight spot right now and I don't know what to do. I don't want to go into a text wall, mostly because I'm in a lot of pain, but kfsdfjksdfjaslfjffffff
Basically in 2008 I was diagnosed with having a straight neck (neck should have a curve to it like the rest of the spine). I had another xray in 2010 showing this too. The chiropractors never made a big deal about it, besides trying to get it aligned, so I didn't either. Chiropractic adjustments have been really good for the rest of my body, but no help with the neck.
I've been having neurological symptoms since 2008, like these floaters in my vision (they aren't actually in my eye, this has been examined multiple times) and when I've done things to mess with my neck I'll sometimes have sparkles in my vision, arm weakness, shooting pain. But on a regular basis I don't do anything to make it THAT bad, the floaters have never gone away though.
But all this being in the drive thru for entire shifts, with no shoulder support for the damned phone is hurting me more and more each time. I only did it maybe 2-3 hours last night and I could not tolerate it at all. My mind was cloudy, I slowed down immensely afterwards (I was feeling good before I got stuck over there). I felt stupid. It's exhausting, and the pain has carried through today and usually if I'm not working or not doing that then it doesn't carry over like this.
My boss and the lead tech think I just hate it and i'm just sore and i'm being a complainer. I don't even think they will listen to me if I say "LISTEN I am in severe pain and I am experiencing a ton of legit neurological symptoms. If your neck is straight, putting it into those positions can and DO pinch nerves. I'm going to go see a specialist but in the mean time I really don't need to be there more than an hour-ish at a time." I don't think its unreasonable but they won't listen.
I go see my doctor on the 25th and I wanted to see if he could give me a good recommendation instead of trying to find one myself because he might be able to tell me what I need better than me just guessing (well, obviously XD). I don't know if I can make it that long because then I would have to make an appointment THEN possibly wait awhile to be seen at the specialist. And there's plenty of time in between to get stuck into that position again.
I went and just bought my own shoulder rest, but the ones the office supply store sells are tiny!! I need the giant bulky ones that way there's only minimal bending. This one I'll still have to go half or a little more the distance and that's still painful. Ugh XPPPP I will give it a go though, it can only help.
I'm kinda torn. As usual my mom doesn't think it's that big of a deal <_____>

Might as well bring in a doc's note saying "look chief, this is seriously something that can cause her discomfort."

Oh whoa hey congrats on becoming senior P:
I really don't know if waiting a week and a half is really advisable. I may just call my doctor's office on monday and see if they can leave a note for him and he can call me back if he has time and tell me what he thinks. I need something that will get me out of there for awhile.

Yeah just do whatever you need to expedite it I s'pose. That's probably another thing that's been making the whole experience discomforting to say the least

It sucks that something is finally forcing me to look at it @_@ I don't want to spend the money. I hope that something serious isn't wrong but who am I kidding?? This much pain is pretty serious. And ugh. I really don't HAVE the money until I get paid next week XP What a pain.

What did you do to quit? I've been smoking since I was 15 off and on, given the company I kept it's not surprising, but I have an auto immune disease that causes chronic pain along with other troubles and I know quitting would be one of the best things I can do to improve my health. Unfortunately every attempt I've made has only been temporarily successful
and now time for a confession or per chance a proclamation.
After being with a woman who fed off my very soul I find myself single, I committed myself to staying that way unless I met my Miss Princess. Now I find myself having plans later with a rather beautiful girl who happens to be everything I tend to look for in a woman. After some talk of life and it's happenings the other day we found ourselves on the subject of "Valentines Day" she's recently out of a relationship and not sure what she wants but made a point to comment she's never properly had a valentine, being the sort that looks for opportune moments in life I asked her to be my valentine to which she replied she "would gladly be my valentine" while we could not meet on the actual holiday I am seeing her later today, although we have been talking for a while and get along swimmingly this is our first meeting. To me it seems she's dropping hints, I don't think this is actually a date but I must confess I find myself hoping it ends that way. Is that bad?
I've made her a valentine by hand (which I posted in my art thread if anyone finds them self curious) and I plan to get her a single rose as I believe that no one should go without at least one valentine, lest they think they are unappreciated or lacking in the affections of others. That and I would give every woman and man on this earth a rose as a symbol of their beauty, but hers especially speaks to me.
I'm not specifically seeking advice, I needed to get this out there somewhere safe for myself, but I would be open to any advice the AP faithful would care to give. More than anything I can't decide if hoping it's somehow a date is presumptuous and wrong of me.
Any one care to throw in their hat on the matter?

Well you asked her out to be her valentine, so uh, just roll with it like it is I guess. The usual schtick for first dates. Pay for her meal, etc etc. That said, that also means not taking it too seriously or too quickly. Especially seeing as she's freshly out of a relationship I wouldn't move too particularly quickly when she may need more space and breathing room following the relationship (that said I don't believe I move too particularly quickly in general).

CHEERSI haven't forgotten people are flawed as well. I just…feel more flawed than average. It shouldn't be too surprising that it's especially bad whenever a conversation ends up being about my problems. One of those problems being that I feel like a man child. I was gonna mention that as well in my original post, but decided to leave it out.

That much I know, as I said I'm not sure I'm looking for anything anyways, I'm just getting mixed signals and trying not to read into things to much. I'd still like to do something a little special for, I like making people smile, she just wants to stay in and watch movies which is cool with me but at this point I have two hours and I'm just trying to decide if I should get her that rose or not.

Well I suppose one rose shouldn't push it too much, considering you did ask her to be your valentine. And it comes with none of the guilt of overpriced flowers right before V-day. But yeah just read the atmosphere otherwise. Seems like you're in good shape anyway I suppose.

Isn't that really good? :happy: Fear of death makes us love and enjoy life more.
-
Hardly. A debilitating fear of death might be the absolute worst thing that prevents you from enjoying your life if it makes you too anxious, stressed or scared to keep doing the things that you enjoy or would enjoy doing in life.
Then again, eventually overcoming that fear is the most empowering feeling you likely have felt up to that point, so there's always that.

Then again, eventually overcoming that fear is the most empowering feeling you likely have felt up to that point, so there's always that.
Well, a debilitating fear of death, yes. One to the point where it blocks your ability to enjoy life. But I believe there isn't anything wrong about having a fear of death. Having the will to live sometimes correlates to having a fear of death. Or it could be like that episode of scrubs where JD and Turk comfort a dying patient in his last hours, explaining how they actually are scared of death but have to put up a front because they deal with it in their workplace.
As with most things, fear in and of itself I don't think is too bad as long as it's in moderation.

No it's not like that. It's all about do how do you look to your fear. It's like fear of losing someone, it either makes you love them more and show it as much as you can. Or makes you feel the way you described. But it's just one's way to interpret it, and doesn't mean that feeling is bad.
Maybe you meant the same though xD

Sounds odd but I feel that fearing death makes you feel more alive…
Guess that's the basics of extreme sports.
Anyway whatever happens with your father, just remember to stand by him. At the very least, he took care of you until you reached the age where you could take care of yourself.

Can´t agree. Accepting death is something truly liberating for me, i can only speak for myself of course
-
But have you truly accepted it?
It's one thing to feel that while you're safe and away from impending dangers. It's another when you're thrust in a situation when you may very well die.
