There are downs in life, but ups as well. It's much like an economic conjuncture. Enjoy the booms, and work towards them when you're in a depression.

This evening I have been crying for about an hour. I have had an epiphany. I have realised that if I died today, only 3 people would miss me. My parents, and my girlfriend. I have very few friends and the ones I do have I barely see. I have accidentally pushed them away. I can't handle life. I can't handle money. I can't even get a job. And yet, despite all this, I still feel happy. I still feel at home.
All because of this website. It keeps me smiling. I come on the forums and feel part of a community, I watch the videos and grin to myself, I read the news stories and feel normal. I love this website, and everyone on it. I don't know a thing about any of you, and yet you're all the nicest people I've ever met.
So thank you. Thank you so much. I just wanted to share how I felt.
Don't sweat it. Least we could do.

May I ask how? I wanna see if you did the same thing I did.

Anyways, glad to hear appreciation for this site. Sorry I brought it down so much, though.

thanks for saying that though
while i appreciate the sentiment of your message ( and i do :) )
i think perhaps if you feel this troubled by life hanging out at a website isn't the only thing you should be doing. perhaps you should talk about your problems with someone ie. your girlfriend or parents or perhaps get some counseling if you know of a good counselor. if that's a little out of your price range i can recommend a book called The gospel of Hiphop by KRS-one. If you can get past the religious messages and isn't put of too much by the Hip Hop historical and Hip Hop analytical content there are genuine tool in it towards improving your lot and finding your direction in life, of course it might not work for you but it has helped me, best of luck.

In any case as you can tell from both mine ( hopefully ;) ) and the other posts saying to people they are a appreciated is appreciated so, again, thank you for saying that

Of course. I spent too much time on my own or solely with my girlfriend. Eventually my friends just stopped calling. It's my own fault, I just didn't see it happening until it had happened.

Ah. Nevermind, I did something different for different reasons.

I basically didn't email my one friend because I was too shy and didn't know what to say, and the other I purposely avoided on XBL and such because 1. I feel funny talking to him, since I have such a better life than he does, and 2. I am/was too irresponsible for a friend, and didn't feel like having to keep in touch with someone.

Hopefully I've grown up since then(last summer).

Edit: I'd say I'm sorry for this double post, but I blame the servers more than me.

Ah, ok that's different than what I did.

I purposely ignored my friends for multiple reasons stemming from my own insecurities and laziness.

Edit: I love how my original post didn't show up first, even after a few refreshes, so I retyped a shorter version and the new one shows up...

Lolcats are my thing!
Really? I thought they belonged to this guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view]

OT: Glad we could help! Not that I did anything, I just enjoy taking credit for other people's work.

The escapist is fun!

I've done the same, and I'd suggest just trying to get in touch again. I've lost contact with some people, but there's others who I hadn't so much as emailed in over a year, and I got in touch, explained I'd been kinda down and withdrawn from the world and that I was sorry for ignoring them, and that I hoped we could get in touch soon to catch up.

It didn't work for everyone, but I think your best friends will put a gap aside to link up again, if you can't face visiting or calling, there's email or even a letter, to take the edge of embarrassment off that first contact.

Most people just want to be part of each other's lives, unless you actively turn them against you, and just being quiet for a while isn't that bad.

Anyways, I'm pleased you like it here, I kinda feel like it's 'home' here too, it's gotta be my most visited site in my faves, and I feel like my opinion even matters sometimes, I even get quotes and replies occasionally, makes me feel like I'm not the only crazy guy thinking the way I do :)

It would be wrong - you're advertising the wrong group! Go join N.N.I.J.A [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/N-N-I-J-A]. We're also quite nice, even if there aren't as many of us. And we're definitely not re-using the old "pirate vs. ninja" joke. You can tell, because we have spelling mistakes.
Or join both[sub][sub] like everyone else who's in NNIJA.[/sub][/sub]

I see what you did there.

OP: And a very good day to you, sir!

Seriously, I have no clue what that's supposed to mean. Does it imply I use lolcats? Because I don't.
