Why am I such Idoit
I’ve been feeling like the biggest dip shit lately. I know its kind of late now to be thinking bout my fuck ups, but it just doesn't seem to be getting any better. No job, no money, no girlfriend, wreck my car and have to dive a Hyundai, POS Hyundai breaks down, and to top it off I put a huge dent into the front left quarter panel right in front of the parking light on the suby with the door of the Hyundai!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to bring you my story of self pity but I’d shoot my self if I couldn't tell some one.(insert smiley with gun to head)

We're all dying. We'll all be dead soon and then we can enjoy ourselves.

Ehh....I guess.....I'd say for the most part, most of them aren't worth the trouble. There are definitely exceptions.....but in general terms.....it's just not worth the drama they can cause.wiscon_mark wrote:It all depends...dzx wrote:I think i would rather not have a gf than have the female problems I have now. So that might be something going for you there.

I'm sorry about how bad stuff's going for you, A_DuB. It sounds hokey, but try to look past the present difficulties. Don't confuse your personal value with other things; your job, car, and relationship status don't define your worth. My hopes are with you. Are there any job prospects at all? Filled out any applications or anything?

Vikash you are soooo right...
I always end up doing exactly that (losing sense of self-worth)...when I have troubles with money or the Legacy (which is like all the time)
I guess there is always calm after the storm...

Yeah, that is my experience too. It's natural to feel sorry for yourself. To some degree it's probably good (Chris Cornell once said, "People don't realize how much fun it is to be depressed.") but beyond that it's of course counterproductive. I'm glad I have the opportunity to say this to you right now, A_DuB, and hope it doesn't seem like I'm being unfeeling or silly.

A_DuB, When you feel down, you gotta try to look up.
There are people worse off than you.
The easiest way to bring some rationale to this, is to link it to another situation.
When I feel down. Low on cash, low on gas, in a rut, tired of dealing with school. Tired of working and feeling underappreciated. Tired of seeing and smelling my poor Legacy sitting on jack stands when it could be doing burnouts.
It's just perspective. I try to go for a drive. I never drive aggressively when I'm depressed, I just go for a cruise. Espically in the winter months. Even without the legacy, it puts things into perspective.
I think about how I can cut back on spending to save some cash. I think about how I just need to do what I do at work, and I'll see the rewards of my hard work. With the Legacy, I just think of how much fun it'll be to tinker with the little things and not have to worry about driving it the next day.
It's all perspective. I'm in a relationship now, and I'm definately greatful for it. For the first time, I REALLY feel like I've got someone who cares about me a lot and loves me unconditionally. If I didn't have her, I know I would be upset. But before I had her (during the whole cheating-ex fiasco), I was torn up.
A wise man and a very very dear friend of mine told me words I'll never forget. He said to me, "I'm proud of you, Phil." Those 5 words kinda changed my whole life around for the better. This man had always been a really great friend of mine. I had gone to him with troubles I thought mirrored Atlas. He listened to me, supported me, and he let me learn. I finally got ahold of myself, and I let him know my progress. I'm man enough to admit that I had BALLED about things, and I felt like I was at one of the lowest points in my life. But he had faith, and he told me so. I knew then, that no matter what, I'd have a friend I could talk to about anything forever. I had a friend that I could listen to and try to repay, forever. I felt like I had a friendship that wouldn't go away if a fly farted. That meant something to me.
Those 5 words, they changed my life.
And you know something? It's good to let it out. It's good to get those things bothering you out in the open. You can tell that everyone here is concerned about you. And I'll tell you now, I'm proud of you for being able to come out like that.
You'd only be an idiot if you kept bottling this up inside yourself.
If you need, my PM box and e-mail are always open, and I can always find time for a friend.
Things will turn around in due time.
Phil

cars are a disease, youre better off not having one to feel like you have to mess with it
girls bring crazy ass drama, and sex is only important if youre not getting it
money is the root of all evil, so technically being broke is good.
sorry, but life could be worse. "dont define yourself by the obstacles you face, but by those that you overcome"
FWIW I know exactly where youre coming from.
