I blame some of it on me having a baby face. I'm 18 and people say I look like I'm 15.

what does it even mean to "live in the moment"
for fuck's sake

Must everything be a debate and philosophical thing with you? You seem like someone who just hates his life and sees everything half empty.

basically

everything must be a "philosophical thing" because to me, philosophy is all that really matters
getting to grips with reality

once i can get through to people with my beliefs, then i can calm down and talk about other shit
but that's not going to happen here, or at least, it never really seems that way, but i have to try

I see...

I say this with no intent to insult, but that kind of view sounds absolutely horrible and sounds like it'd make me want to kill myself.

I, on the other hand, say this with all intent to insult. That kind of view sounds absolutely horrible and sounds like it'd make me want to kill myself.

i was more insulted by what she said

I don't really give a damn who makes you feel insulted, so long as you feel insulted.

The similarities between us grow, Verb.

that's a pretty pathetic obsession you got there

More of an occasional hobby than an obsession. You post in nearly every thread I post in, and it's inevitable that something will piss you off, so I try to see how quickly I can make that happen.

It's funny.

cool

well thanks for telling me that--now i know to report you for trolling every single time you reply to me

I wouldn't expect anything less, Verby.

It's because they expect men to be successful at a certain age. When I tell them that I'm almost 23 and working in retail...there's just no way. They expect men to have a career and their life together at that point, not still living with their parents. So basically because the shit major I chose in college, not only did I doom myself from having a career that actually exists, I also doomed myself from ever being in a relationship. Sure, I can find a disgusting ogre that smokes and didn't go to college that will only ever work minimum wage, but I would rather be alone my entire life than to settle for disgusting just to not be alone. Women want successful men with careers like engineers, accountants, businessmen, programmers, etc...

Gee, really generalizing women there aren't you?

> they

> they

> they

women expect other women to be successful at a certain age as well.

Ignore him. He's a lost cause beta.

And you're an autistic fuck.

You're probably a psychopath destined to be a serial killer...that's all I can think of when I look at your picture and your antisocial posts.

From what I see, your issue is your highly critical about yourself, and over think. Rather then giving yourself a proper chance, you deem it impossible and rule it out entirely.

Come on now.

So after skimming this thread for real responses I'm going to throw out some advise for dudes and ladies who may be uncomfortable speaking to other people IRL while not having any problems online.

Now this may not actually help since it's all anecdotal evidence, but get a job where you have to interact with the public while you're in school.

Not only are you forced to interact with the public in a sink or swim kind of situation, but you'll ale contacts through work that'll get you invited to parties that will further expand your opportunities and interactions with IRL person to person contact.

And remember to always speak clearly and confidentiality.
