How's life treating you?

[figday]

Well this is a very nice thread, we should have more of these
I'm sorry about your sucky life, OP, your dad does not sound like the sweetest guy

my dad.. imagine uncle scrooge but much2 more money grubbing (worse than EA i think), with a super genius (true) brain that never stops working, and add insanity in the cocktail.
he's my dad, but he's not my dad, he sees us (family) as nothing but instruments.. dude even threatened to kill my bro once, with a knife in his hand, lol.

I can't complain myself. I've had some pretty shit times in recent years, through it I've convinced myself that I help nothing by dwelling on the things I don't like. Take this year for example, the two key themes for me have been death and earthquakes. But fuck it, I'm happy enough in my own life and confident enough to know that I can deal with whatever shit life throws my way.

In other words:

Hows your life?

my life in gaming? (PC fanboy btw)
bought DA2 at full price ... mega-fail
bought new PC for Crysis2 ... fucked over
seeing previews for DE:HR ... matter of time before getting fucked over again

The question was actually rhetorical, but whatever. I recommend Dead Space 2 or even BulletStorm. Also, Brink, Duke Nukem: Forever and Red Faction: Armageddon are coming up. Plus Portal 2.

I guarantee you'll enjoy at least one of those titles.

just ended a 6-year relationship with a girl which i thought was the one, and still think she is, so there goes my sanctuary. and cant blame anyone but myself for being such a lousy boyfriend, which lead her to getting a new one, she's on the other side of the globe, shes hot, so i kinda new this would happen. long-distance is a no go.

1) Long distance relationships do not work; semi-long distance can work (no more than 1 hour's drive away) if you're both mature, like space, are honest with each other and don't want too much commitment.

2) Cool, fun women > hot women. A cool, fun woman remains attractive for longer (to YOU): hot women not only lose their attractiveness faster but they're also harder to keep.

3) No such thing as 'the one'.

1) true, damn true, fuck its true :/
2) the hot part i mentioned is the factor where men will surround her like flies. inside, she's cool, unique, fun, mature. and yeah, she's hard to keep (from other peoples hands that is)
3) i truly hope so man

Well, as someone who's supposed to be dead, I can't really complain.

Listen, man. You'll never stop being submissive to your family unless you grow some balls and tell them to go fuck themselves (politely and lovingly, of course). This sounds like an asshole-ish thing to say, but just taking the shit that life's throwing at you and saying, "It'll get better, It'll get better, " will get you nowhere in life. If you don't want to do the things that they're making you do, don't fucking do them.

Will it be hard? Fuck yes! But will it be worth it? If you're really miserable doing what you're currently doing, then yes.

thx katsu, and good news, ive grown them balls. gonna resign from my dad's company, start from scratch. oh yeah, my beef is only with my dad, my whole family is the victim. btw, thats not asshole-ish at all, its perfectly normal and sensible
and will it be hard? of course it will be, and im excited cause im all for nightmare difficulty ^^

Glad to hear it. Good luck with your things, man.

sigh....

well heres my life

its actually really really good, Im quite happy...but

Im in a kind of limbo at the moment...currently looking for a job,specifically Idont really care

Im not sure what I want to do, it all just seems to so hard and mabye Im avoid aspireing to do anything In case I get hurt (you know all that, youll never live up to your dreams, its all cutthroat etc..)

worse is I get panicky (mabye panic attack is too stronger word) when ever disscusion comes up about my future with my parents (I hate talking about it), and they just keep pushing and the harder they push the more I just freeze up...its hard to explain but frustrating for both of us no doubt

worst case scenario Ill end up at home...which is in the middle of nowhere doing god knows what havign to put up with crappy internet and havign my mum pushing me to do all kinds pointless crap just to keep me busy, I dont want to feel like "the kid doing work experience" that was horrible enough in highshcool and no pay of coarse, Im too old for that..

aaaaannyy way my goal at the moment is to get money and not be under the controll of my parents...I hate feeling guilty for being such a leech

anyway and people keep going on about how horrible DA2 is....it hurts...deep inside

 

[Doclector]

My life's the same old endless fight ATM. Always on the edge of hopelessness always "normal" humanities designated violence outlet, always fighting this stuff alone. I'm spending the best part of three weeks holiday trapped at home, as the outside world is depressing at best, hostile at worst. And to top matters, the government is growing ever more corrupt, but few others seem to care.

At least my working out recently is going well, and believe it or not, things have been worse.

nice, were in the same wagon dude, good luck for both of us ^^
and as for DA2, sorry man, for me, it was a nightmare 'sequel' :/

everyone's life sucks in some way. i think its just best to focus on what is good in your life, the things that you have better than other people or that you just plain enjoy.

I think its mostly about perspective anyway, just by changing your perspective you can instantly change your outlook on life from depressing to actually pretty damn good (in most cases).

 

[Odbarc]

I find it odd that everything 'bad' in your life seems to come from a list of good things leading into it. Everything you complained about seemed like something I wish I had in my life.

You went to college. You had a girlfriend. Your family has need from you. I didn't read everything, but I don't recall you complaining about your health. You still have hope. You're young too.

Try being a life-long bachelor high-school drop-out with no friends and abusive family while constantly fighting to be healthy only to achieve mediocrity sub-par to most inactive heavy-drinking smokers doomed to a minimum wage job with no hope for the future to ever change. Plus I'm old.

[Kroxile]

For as much good karma as I've been hoarding lately my life is bound to take a turn for the positive soon.

Not gonna give you all a sob story, but lets leave it at things haven't been very good financially for years.

Why life, WHY?!

You'll get through this, we're all here for you <3

 

[JemothSkarii]

Hmm, my life, normally I'd be saying it's great but I would be lying now if I said it is. girlfriend of two years left me (whom I absolutely adored and practically worshipped) for a multitude of reasons, and I haven't been able to work on my TAFE course due to stress, so I'm about to fail. Right now, things are unbearable, unless I can be with friends, but they all have school or something so it's difficult to meet up, and since I love my ex so much I'm gonna be grieving for a while. I really just wanna lie down and sleep, get my mind to shut up and stop showing these images, and perhaps move on. At the same time I feel bad; my ex wants to stay friends, but I can't do that: I don't want to watch as her affections move to someone else, I don't want to be some guy she was with for a while and now just gives advice. So my life right now sucks...it could be a lot worse, but it sucks.

Life doesn't treat me, i treat life. Why would i care for some 'outside' interference? I set my won goals and pursue them.

First step - stop blaming life. It's your choices that resulted in such consequences. You say parent's forced you to pick a major you had no interest in then why the heck did you let them? You are 24 years old, about damn time to start living your life. Parents are getting on your nerves? Move out, event to different city/state if it's such a bother. Get a job you enjoy, maybe major in something you actually consider interesting, it's never too late. Stop being apathetic - your life is what you make it.
