There are people who fall for this and fork over money for this sort of stuff. Mostly people who are already down on their look.

[Dutchling]

People actually fall for that xD?

[Graknorke]

People actually fall for that xD?

They're desperate.

[Vector]

I'm positively exploding with unused mental energy and my self-esteem is falling precipitously again.  The energy is pretty much 100% going into panic attacks, anxiety, and developing an entrenched inferiority complex, since there's nothing to bleed it off.

This isn't good.

[Descan]

HUGPILE ON VECTOR

[Sirus]

No Descan, no! Don't you remember what happened last time? You crushed Vector!

[Descan]

;-; But that was the entirety of humanity!

I was thinking like, 3, maybe 4 tops this time...

[Sirus]

Oh, okay. Carry on.

[Vector]

I don't know what to do!  No matter how talented I am it never feels like it's enough and I feel like I'm a joke in the mathematical community, not really skilled enough for anyone to call me skilled or hope for anything, and I think that a lot of it is that I'm a girl so they don't bother to nurture me and I think part of it is that I'm just not good enough.

And the book got one review, but it hasn't been getting any more, and apparently if I want to translate in French I should get certified and I don't know if I can actually pass the exam, and it's just one more thing I have to do, plus there's this translation conference I'm desperate to go to so I'm going to start doing some single-poem translations for magazine submissions but auuuuuugh

And all the stitches in the hem of my skirt are uneven, can't even do that well

And I think I'm going to be doing a frickin' data entry job after this one, which sucks, OR I'll be working full-time as a tutor in Oakland, which also sort of sucks because it's a bit mind-killing to be honest and motivating people who don't want to be motivated blows

I'm 23 and I can't drive and I'm terrified of it and everyone thinks worse of me when they learn about it

All of these LITTLE FUCKING THINGS keep coming up and I just don't want to deal with them anymore.  Can't find the other skirt I need to hem, or some account somewhere getting hacked, or my bicycle having rotten handlebar covers and a slipped pin in the chain, or having my school email expire, or having the heel fall off my shoe and having to walk around lopsided for a week, and the local train strike meaning I had to ask my mom to drive me all last week and just thing after thing after thing I have to take care of.  Getting ones and dimes for bus fare (automatic card took quite a while to refill!), changing the mailing address for a credit card, having both my school email and phone number changed on me without my control... it doesn't seem to end, and all of this has been in the last two weeks.

I'm so frustrated ;_;

I just built a pistol out of pieces of metal..

That's actually not all that unusual depending on the environment you grow up in. For small rural towns, it's a necessity simply because you either need to drive everywhere or accept a slow, painful death at the hands of Boredom. For urban or dense suburban living, not so much. Especially if they don't have a particular need for it immediately or an extra vehicle available.

And I suspect it will become increasingly common, simply because the year most car companies are giving for "we will be making self driving cars" is 2017.

How is that a sad? Sounds rad! Unless you're planning on killing yourself with the gun or something. 

[Pnx]

I'm so frustrated ;_;

Hugs...

Learning to drive for me was absolute shit, I am literally only just now starting to get comfortable driving about. My father always said it was all about confidence, but really it's all about getting the experience that makes the basic actions of driving kind of automatic (it starts out really stressful and involving, but once you've been doing it a while it starts become rather natural and easy, it's sort of like typing, when you start you peck away at the keyboard, but once you know where all the keys are and you're used to the movements you can quickly and easily write what you want to write).

[Vector]

Okay, listen up.  Here's my dream.

I'm going to spend the rest of this year mostly making money, learning to drive, taking care of all the little things I couldn't do in college, and studying French really intensively.  Then I'm going to spend a year taking graduate courses at Berkeley and working part-time; over the summer I'll have a job, study hard so I can ace the math GRE and do some translating stuff, in the fall it's back to class and grad school applications.  And in the new year I'm going to fucking move to France and work there and see all sorts of amazing shit, and then I'm going to go to NYU.  And be hugely successful.  And see all sorts of amazing shit.

Link sort of relevant.


Thanks for all the hugs, folks, and hugs all around *hughughughug*.  I'm going to be okay, but I need somewhere for my work ethic to go that isn't just "fuck around for two years."  So yeah.  I'll do something.

I'm 26 and the closest I've ever gotten to a girl barely counts as even a fling.

My friends managed to convince a girl in a bowling alley to hug me once on my birthday. That's about it really. Admittedly I'm an asshole so it's my fault.

My only girlfriend to date decided that she wasn't into guys after all.
