It IS your fault that you wallow in your anger and negativity about it, though. I don't think I've ever seen you post something positive, happy, or encouraging on these boards, either. If you can show me where you've ever posted an encouraging or positive thing on these boards, that would be great.

Otherwise, my opinion stands. You attract crap, because that is what you put out into the world.

You are in no place to make that statement. You don't know what happened in any of the situations I was in

As far as I can tell, you do put relentless negativity out there. I have never seen you put anything positive on this board. Ever. The posts of yours I've seen are critical, negative, unhappy, angry, snarky, or discouraging. If you have written one positive, happy, or encouraging thing on this board, please show me. I'd like to be wrong.

Show you? If you, and others, really thought that the world wasn't worth anything and people aren't worth anything, you would not be on here day after day after day pronouncing your opinions.

In the last paragraph you proceeded to tell me what I want about pretty much everything. If I wanted to communicate with people, I wouldn't turn down invites to weddings, outings and everything else on a regular basis. But you should know that already. I like talking on a message board, doesn't mean I want to go out and socialize with people. Why you think one equates to the other, is beyond me. You can't even tell me what I ate for breakfast this morning but you know all about my inner thoughts and reasons for being?

I wasn't aware I was obligated to post 'happy positive things' on this board because you think I should. Honestly, I couldn't give a rat's behind about posting ANYTHING that I don't actually believe in. I am not an optimistic person, I have no reason to be. But that doesn't mean I don't know how to be cordial and behave in a civilized manner at my job or in public.

As far as you can tell from being on this message board: I don't blow smoke up people's behinds simply to appear positive.

Anything else you can 'tell' would be a 'guess,' since you don't know me from a can of paint.

All I see are your unfailingly miserable posts all over this forum about how men suck, no one likes black people, no one likes you, blah, blah, blah, hate, hate, hate, negative, negative, negative, woe is me, woe is me, woe is me.

There comes a time when you do one of several things:

Accept that sometimes people suck and move on;

Forgive people who have hurt you and move on;

Realize that not everyone in this world is the same and although it's important to learn from your experiences and recognize the signs of a jerk, that not everyone is out to get you;

or

Wallow forever in freakish misery and drive away everyone who comes near you so that you end up dying alone in an apartment with 43 cats.

Guess which path sounds like you?

So basically you admit you have never said anything positive on here, which tells me you are an angry, negative person. Got it.

You either are not comprehending or have some other kind of problem....


I didn't say I never said anything positive on the board. I said I am not an optimistic person and don't blow smoke up people's behinds in the name of promoting positivity. YOU said I don't say anything positive on the board. Not the same things.


There's a 'short man' thread where I told the guy he would find someone because short men do find partners. I told him my uncle is 5'8 and gets all kinds of women.... IF you want to look it up that's up to you I don't care about sorting through threads for you.

When I come here, I simply need a place to vent. Sorry if most of my venting is negative but I just find it necessary to get it all out. It's very therapeutic for me.

I never made a post about driving people away from me. I don't know where you get that from.

Calm down. I asked because I genuinely wanted to know, as I had not seen any. But don't worry: Given the snittiness and defensiveness of your response, I won't be engaging you in any further exchanges. That attitude isn't worth my time.

My point is that you are heading down that path. I've seen over and over on here how people respond to you a few times, you counter with negativity and how they are all wrong, and they throw their hands up and walk away. Add me to that list.

I think I am just misunderstood.
