Poll: Social Experience - Bad Experiences

[swolf]

So I heard someone say that if we all wrote our problems down, through them in to a pile, and read each other's problems, we would take ours back because it would seem small in comparison.

My 2 problems:
1.) I still don't have any cake.

2.) The person I thought was my true love lied to me by claiming that she was pregnant when she wasn't, got raped the day after we were married (I fought the guy off), lost my military career over a fight to defend her honor (it was the one thing in my life that made my family, like, REALLY proud of me. Like, my sister was in school and was told to write a report about somebody who inspired her and she wrote about me), and then she cheated on me with as many different guys as she could.

2 has been taken care of via divorce. Now, I'm happily married and have a daughter...still, things would've been easier if I hadn't lost my military career (btw, the odds of me being able to reenlist are slim to none)...also, I was about just about to get an education like my dad did that would've paid $$$ in the civilian world.

So, post your problem, read other people's, and compare.

Could have been worse, you could have kept your military career and been blown up by an IED somewhere. Look on the bright side. As long as you have your health and your life then there is scope for improvement.

I don't really have any problems, my biggest one is that I'm poor but it's no big thing, I can get by. Everything else in my life is going swinningly.

I guess that my worst problem is that I'm only alive because three people died. My mother and father lost both a son and a daughter, one to birth defects and another to a drunk driver, and my mother's first husband was killed by a drunk driver as well. My parents have flat out told me that they only decided to have another child because my sister died, and if my brother hadn't died then the same situation likely would have happened. If my mother's first husband hadn't died, then my birth was unlikely and I wouldn't be me anyways. Yes, that's not something that I could do anything about, but knowing that I'm only here because three people have died isn't a good thing.

But you still have me beat with yours swolf.

My big problem right now is that I'm trying to join the US army right now. My recruiter is coming this Friday to try & get my parents to sign me. The problem is though, that something happened a while ago, that has the possibility of getting me permanently disqualified. My recruiter said he wouldn't let it stop me from enlisting, but it scares the hell out of me. I do have a backup plan, but it's not the route I've been planning to go... I'm just scared, and I'd be so dissappointed in myself for getting disqualified because of stuff that happened that I had no control over at the time..... :/

The cake is a lie

I stubbed my toe this morning. Fucking hell.

O M F G. How did you even manage to write this response? The pain must have been excruciating. Screw the servbot, you are my new idol.

OT: My lunch was not as good as expected.

 

[bam13302]

Currently, I'm trying to get a girl I really like to date me however she's suffering due to her own issues so I feel bad I'm unable to really help her, I'm going through some...Well...Spiritual issues and I'm struggling with my exams which go from 17th to 30th of June.

 

[SmartIdiot]

None to speak of really. I tend to turn around any problems that come my way. Most recently it was having to pick up extra shifts at work at short notice, then finding out I have to cover another one when I was meant to have a day off (tomorrow) meaning I've now been on 11 days solid(long shifts too). Flip it around and... I have a whole weekend off. For the first time. Ever. Plus I'll get paid more this week.

In short: I don't have problems, I have solutions.

I have Aspergers, which cripples me socially. It's hard enough looking people + strangers straight into their eyes, little less open a conversation with them.

My past doesn't help it out either, as it's full of bad "friend" experiences. Can't even call them friends now that I think back...

Fun thing is, I didn't use to be crippled much... Socially. And now I'm practically put in a wheelchair.

My brother keeps telling me Aspergers have nothing to do with it.
Problem is, he doesn't have it, so he can't speak out of experience. I really have no one to help me.

Don't feel bad about me though. I hate sympathy cards to the core!
Because other than that, my life is perfectly swell and bliss.

Recruiters lie! Trust me. They will tell you "Don't worry, nobody will find out." They will find out about criminal records, saw it happen.

All I will say is I have the condition as well and it's messed around with my social life severely as well. As much as people would explain to me it's a minor condition, I can't help but wonder if they're lying their heads off. Then I realise all the more severe versions of Autism and it scares the hell out of me that it could of happened to me.

 

[titanium turtle]

my life has everything- except a woman to share it with
it's been like that for....... well let's just say a long time

nono, its not criminal. its kind of a medical thing... I could get a waiver for it. so its either lie, or attempt a waiver. I'm not sure what I'll do at this point.

I still can't speak french... even though its the one class I am going to school for.

 

[Pandalisk]

Im afraid of talking to people, that basically the gist of it, and thats all there is to it.
my Social life is Pathetic, my sister is having a party downstairs as we speak, but hell Escapist is the easier, safer and less scary Option.

Im a Coward in this way, but meh, if i had to think about it, i'd prefer this anyway.

Other than that, Cant complain.

I still can't speak french... even though its the one class I am going to school for.

Isn't that..Kinda why your taking the Class? To learn it?
Ha, im in the same boat, i need French but i just cant grasp another Language, i probably need to put more effort in. i really doubt ill ever use it though.

 

[Irridium]

I have a low paying job that I love, have everything I need, and have good friends. Well, one good real life friend, and lots of great internet friends, but screw it I like 'em all!

My life kicks ass right now.

But it is blistering hot out and my air conditioner is broken. So there's that, but I've always been able to tolerate extreme heat.

I guess I could use a girlfriend, but whatever. I'm happy enough.

Oh, forgot, there is one thing thats not so great about me, I can't seem to gain weight. I'm about 125 pounds, and seem incapable of going past that. As a result, I look frighteningly skinny.

But thats about it for me. I have quite a few smaller problems, but I can live with those.

I had an abscess forming in my mouth and a dentist promptly screw-drivered it out when she found out.

Ow.... my gum.
