But the cool kids do matter. They're all that matters.
No, that does not matter op, it really doesn't. Feeling sorry for yourself is a slow acting poison, it first corrupts, and then consumes the heart chocking it with dark and useless emotions. And agreeing to live with sad regrets only ensures they'll still be with you tomorrow. Taken from the 10 reason feeling sorry for yourself doesn't work.
Why does everything a kid experiences have to have some deep psychological impact on them....I mean, it's one thing when a kid has a father that calls him a dumb F all the time. Or if his mom's friend touches him when they are alone. Or if your priest would make you do things to him, when you were volunteering.
Those are actual forms of abuse, that can lead to deep psychological scarring. But when I see a person, get teased, or rejected less than a handful of times, I can only think they are a big kitty cat, who needs to jump up and down, the make sure he's male. And no, I'm not being harsh, it's the truth, you are being too sensitive about nothing. Do you know how many times I have gotten rejected? How many times I was chosen last from the neighborhood? Do you know how many times I got shoved into a locker by some bully who was two years older? Countless of times.
Instead of whining about it, I waited a year, and when I was a little bigger, I tackled that bully, and broke his leg in three places.
I stopped trying to play ball with the older kids, and played with kids my own age
I don't let rejection stop me, I get up and adjust my approach
I'm pretty sure that I had a little harsher time, but I got over it, and made adjustments, and grew up. The key is to stop being a beach about everything, and do something about it.
If the cool kids don't accept you as a friend, F them. Go to school, get a degree, and become successful, and when the 20 year reunion comes, and you look healthier then ever, and you see the jocks, who drank, did meth, smoked cigarettes and are three times divorced, with their beer belly, and crappy poly suit, you can smile as you lead your 24 year old hot date in that you paid 800 an hour for, but who cares, you can afford her.

All in all 4 years of reading his blathering, self absorbed, self centred, poor-me drivel. It's so tedious. This isn't some 18 year old, this is a grown man nearing his 40s. It's beyond pathetic...and way beyond any advice any of us could give someone. Some people simply enjoy their self pity party.

I see my fan club has joined the thread.
If it's so tedious, why do you read my posts? Hmmm?

I read everyone's post. You're not special, nor am I a fan of yours. I hate seeing this forum used as a tampon to soak up your inner loathing. You aren't asking for advice, you're using people.
Puts a whole new spin on the overall patheticness doesn't it.
Why do you care whether I am pathetic? You and zentropa could always simply leave me be. I do no harm. I keep to myself. There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health.

It's not my problem if you choose to read every post on this forum. It would be pretty simple for you to put me on your ignore list.
