Telling everyone about your low opinion of yourself/Having self esteem issues

[mickill]

If KFC had television commercials with people holding their stomachs, covering their mouths with their hands, do you think that people watching would feel a sudden urge for some chicken? If Lexus ran two-page magazine ads with the words, "We know the car's kinda stupid looking and nobody would wanna be caught dead driving it...plus, it's really lame...but it'd sure be nice if SOMEBODY bought it" across the page, do you think they'd notice a dramatic increase in demand for their cars? If you're applying for a job, do you start by listing all of your bad qualities for the people you want to be hired by? It's great if you want to be honest about your limitations and have realistic expectations for yourself--the truth is that the majority of you really don't have much going for you--but why wear it on your face? You're a product. Advertise. Confidence sells. How do you think Bruce Willis made it as an actor?

[TurdBerglar]

now you just gave them something more to have low self esteem about


asshole

[Miho Mingu]

Just suck it up and act natural, be you. That advice works if you give it your sincere effort.

[drizl]

what is this thread about?

be whoever you want to be. whats worse, being who you feel or trying to act confident?

[mickill]

I'm saying, if you really want to get laid someday, do yourself a favor and stop telling people how unattractive and unintelligent you are.

[The Notorious LOL]

^ emo kids do that all the time and they seem to have no problem getting it from other emo kids. Just know your circle of depressed shitbags.

I'm talking about quality action here, though, man. Bruce Willis has dated everything from models to porn stars, man. Porn stars. I'm sure women are only able to look past his dopey face because he exudes so much confidence.

Sometimes it's a genuine indication of low self-esteem--she [generalized she] externalizes the problem and denigrates herself or spotlights some pitiful situation in her life in the hopes that someone (anyone) will build her up. The more public the better. What she gets out of that is a temporary high/fix. Just a topical application of attention for someone who needs regular assurance and validation. People who do that are usually obvious about it and I don't often respond to those things because those topical approaches do not help a person.

The ones that I find difficult to deal with are the people with low self-esteem that's coming full-circle: someone with underlying poor self-esteem who has self-helped and therapied himself nearly to the grave and over time, he morphs to the opposite extreme and winds up coming off as having a hugely elevated sense of self; after time, he maybe begins to realize that he overcompensated and tries to mask that elevated sense of self with hints of self-denigration and he gets stuck in a cycle. That's tough.

Either way, it's really not something that anyone from the outside can solve casually. You can tell someone with esteem problems a thing repeatedly and it will have a very immediate but also very bounded effect on them.

[kll]

I was thinking about this the other day...

it seems that there's a boardmember or two who continuously have negative threads about themselves, how they behave, how they feel, how they look, etc... it made me sad that someone would wake up nearly everyday and feel this way...

then i started thinking about the troll at work who has nothing at all good to say... she will find negativity in anything... it's so draining...

[abcdefz]

"Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If 'needy' were a turn-on?"

Hey, Bruce Willis is hot.

I'm only referring to people who fit under that first example, really. I'm not saying anyone should start masking their poor sense of self worth with complete lies. Nobody should delude themselves into thinking that they're something they're not, having attributes they don't have. That's how we end up with Ashlee Simpson. It's good to recognize your own weaknesses. But people that use their shortcomings as a tool for sympathy and encouragment from others need a new approach. Unless all they want out of life is continual reassurance. I can think of very few things that are less attractive than someone trying to convince me that they suck. It's just as bad as being overconfident or cocky. Both types attempt to draw attention on a very superficial level.


And that Bruce Willis really does have some of you fooled.

The more public the better. What she gets out of that is a temporary high/fix.
I've had this discussion with friends in several contexts. I tend to avoid the people who do this. Partly it's because I feel that I'm being manipulated because you're forced to say something. Like in junior high when the skinny girl says "ooh, I'm so fat" and then we all have to say "no, you're not" or the friend who says her hair looks bad and we have to disagree -- and we usually have to do it in unison for maximum attention. Then I had some older friends with psychological training who pointed out that the people who do this have a real problem, it's just a different problem than she thinks she has, and that maybe it's not wrong to pay attention to her if she needs it so badly. I still tend to ignore because darn it I won't be manipulated.

On the other hand, I think it's really important to compliment people in your life when they're not fishing for compliments. Most of the time, it's just a matter of saying something out loud that you've tought about. It has to be true, and it has to appear spontaneous. It can be something as simple as I love the way you handled that or your hair is adorable today or I appreciate how you've been putting up with my shit lately.


The ones that I find difficult to deal with are the people with low self-esteem that's coming full-circle: someone with underlying poor self-esteem who has self-helped and therapied himself nearly to the grave and over time, he morphs to the opposite extreme and winds up coming off as having a hugely elevated sense of self; after time, he maybe begins to realize that he overcompensated and tries to mask that elevated sense of self with hints of self-denigration and he gets stuck in a cycle. That's tough.
I hate to say it, but here's where I sometimes have problems with people who've spent a lot of time in CD treatment/AA. There's a difference between examining yourself and being completely self-obsessed.

[Nuzzolese]

Being yourself and not pretending to have qualities you don't have, is often misconstrued advice. I mean if you're all mixed up about who you are, then being yourself is not so easy. Who is YOURSELF?

The important thing to do first is to make an honest and fair observation of what your qualities are. Then it's only faked if you have a warped view. If you have a realistic idea of yourself and your potential, then confidence isn't fake and humility isn't a cry for help.

Confidence that is faked is okay because it's not deception, it's not hurting anyone, it's not malicious intent to mislead; because of the whole self fulfilling aspect of positive thinking. It's not fake, it's ambition. It's boldness. It's sass. Diagnosis: Sassy! I got a fever and the only prescription is more me.

We've all got "faults" but if you think about it, the entire nature of life as we know it is just so perfectly balanced, came about in this one in an infinity chance to sustain life as we know it so that we can each exist the way we do. And because of that, I am perfect just the way I am because I am exactly what the universe created, what the universe is designed for...well replace "universe" with "life on earth as we know it."

Everything else, all the social aspects and personal misunderstandings about where I stand in the perceived hierarchy of beauty and intelligence and success, is just sprinkles on this cupcake. And when I say cupcake I'm pointing to myself.

[HOTWIFE]

It's one thing to be negative once in awhile, but there are people who have the habit of focussing all of their thoughts on how horrible their life is, etc. It's pretty narcicistic, and very draining to the people around them. What bothers me about people like this is that they put so much energy in this negativity low self-esteem cycle that brings them down even more when they could be doing something about some of their insecurities/problems. I feel blessed that most of my problems are totally in my power to change if I just do something about them. Positivity breeds more positivity-even in your own mind. Life is never going to be perfect you just have to roll with it with a smile on your face:) I'm going to be the next Tony Robbins. See, like that.

On the other hand, I think it's really important to compliment people in your life when they're not fishing for compliments.
You're so insightful!

I actually do compliment people a lot, I think. But not fishers. Fishers are on their own.

[befsquire]

name the fishers!



i've been thinking hard about this, and you're right mickill. so, i'm going to stop with only calling myself awesome, and bump myself to fanfuckingtastically awesome.

[Documad]

You're so insightful!
I'm taking that as a compliment rather than a joke. :p

[Documad]

I was going to say this in another thread, but we all have issues -- they're just different issues. LOL pretends to be more of a hard ass than he is for affect. Some (mostly women) put themselves down to fish for compliments.

I pretend to be more quirky than I am so that my friends and loved ones will put up with more obnoxious behavior from me.

[mickill]

^
Oh! Tell me my what my issues are, too. I've been trying to think of one.

I'm taking that as a compliment rather than a joke. :p It's both!

name the fishers!

That's the spirit!

I shouldn't name names, Beth. These people have so little going for themselves as it is.

[hpdrifter]

I hate it when I get a compliment and it is clear that it is my turn to issue a compliment.

One of my girlfriends does this a lot and it makes me really uncomfortable.

Come on, mikey. Name names. Don't turn into one of those.

[Ally Al]

this thread is so emo i think i'm going to vomit

i do appreciate there's some people on these boards who have serious problems, and those people have my full sympathy. Life is a bitch and can throw some horrible shit at you but unfortunately you have to deal with it and carry on because that is life, there is no way around it. You think you've got it bad ? The last four years of my life would make some of your fucking toes curl, but you deal with these things and accept it as one big learning curve and move on, because otherwise what choice do you have ? Let it beat you ? nah fuck that!

the worst thing to happen to me ever, going to my nieces funeral. You bury a baby and you realise how precious life is, so live it. Any problem you come across you take it on the chin and you use that to make you stronger, no matter how hard it might seem at the time

AND

whilst i'm here and full of wine i'd like to address the Beck comments in sureshots. I have no problem with Beck or anyone else who post pictures in sure shots, you do your thing BUT be honest about it. If your posting a picture of you in a hat and you think you look hot in that hat, just say that, don't dress it up in some bullshit. Also i'm not jealous, my wife loves me and thinks i'm hot (because i am) so other peoples opinions really don't matter to me

rant over, have a nice weekend

do i win the least relevant reply to a thread post ?

[Lo_Lyfe]

i think some people are just being shat on subliminally.

[B4BY 4NN]

Okay, so how the fuck was it I was fishing for compliments in my last thread? I was merely stating that I'm tired of scumbags constantly approaching me. WOO :rolleyes: It made for a good thread (3 pages), am I right?

My last statement was I want ATTRACTIVE people, blablabla. I am better than Grimace, or Junkie, or whomever. I DESERVE better.

How is that low?

I hate to say it, but here's where I sometimes have problems with people who've spent a lot of time in CD treatment/AA. There's a difference between examining yourself and being completely self-obsessed.That's such a great observation. Although I'm not sure what CD treatment is.

I've only known two people who were alcoholics. I knew one fairly well (the husband of a good friend) and only knew the other very casually. The one managed to keep himself away from most of what was associated with the self-help/AA stuff and the other was fairly enmeshed in it. The one died from the effects of his drinking and the other was about the most self-absorbed person I think I've ever met.

fuck yo, Im the awesomest person I know

[guerillaGardner]

My way of getting round low self esteem is to realise that I'm no worse than anyone else. Almost hitting 40 I've come to recognise that basic human nature is flawed and all of us exist in varying levels of idiocy, arrogance, stupidity and ignorance.

So if you are flawed it's just because thats part of being a human.

All the so called beautiful people we are supposed to look up to and idolise and aspire to I see as the blind who are leading the blind. I don't envy them in any way and at best they disgust me.

As many times as I've mentally beaten myself up for my faults I can't really say I look around and see anyone so much better than me that they give me any greater sense of insecurity. I dislike the human race intensely and I think a mass sterilisation programme is the best thing that could ever happen to it.

[mickill]

Okay, I have low self esteem.

Some crummy stuff happened to me when I was younger, and now I have low confidence in my abilities and a poor sense of self worth. The only person that can really fix that is me, but it helps to have a good support network of people that can say, "hey, you did a really good job!" or "nice shoes" or something equally uplifting, when the right occasion arises.

It's hard to believe in yourself and your abilities when you feel like no-one else does.

I don't 'fish' for compliments. However, if someone says something nice to me I have a hard time believing that it's true.

I'm aware of this fault of mine, and this makes it doubly annoying - not only do I think of myself as being unattractive and unintelligent, but i'm acutely aware of how irritating this must be for others to listen to me when I say this.

It's so hard to deal with because I want to be so much more - I want to get over these feelings and knowing that I could be a better person if I just stopped thinking this way...but usually, it's just not enough.

Don't know if this has a point, but don't automatically classify someone with low-self esteem as a "fisher"...I guess.
Yeah, you're really not the kind of person I'm referring to here. A lot of people have confidence/esteem issues. I've had them, as well. Not all people lacking confidence and self-esteem are irritating beggars, though. And I don't get the impression that you're a "fisher" either.

All the so called beautiful people we are supposed to look up to and idolise and aspire to I see as the blind who are leading the blind. I don't envy them in any way and at best they disgust me.
I believe it's possible to be an archetype of beauty and actually still possess enviable qualities.

[zorra_chiflada]

yeah, you're talking about me. i get it.

[HEIRESS]

hey zorra gimme 300 bucks and Ill go punch mickillie in person for you cause I only live like 3 hours away!

[zorra_chiflada]

i have a better idea; give me some beauty tips so i won't hate myself as much.

[TurdBerglar]

put a bullseye on your ass

[mickill]

No, zorra, I think you take the opposite approach and come right out and tell people that you feel that you SHOULD be given credit where you think it's due. I guess you do get down on yourself a lot, though. If you've been guilty of fishing, however, it must have been a while back because nothing really comes to mind. I think you're more like the "WHY AM I NOT BEING MENTIONED?" type.

Heiress, I'll let you punch me if you give me 300 bucks instead.

[HEIRESS]

naw lets just go to a random cactus club and point out waitresses with uneven mist tans instead

[mickill]

They have those waitresses at Earls too now.

[HEIRESS]

yeah true that, I was at one of the ones on broadway and the skank factor was pretty obvious

that and I dont trust waitresses who have to ask me how to make a goddamn chi chi

[mickill]

The wife gives me that "I don't think so, pervert" look if I even suggest going to Cactus Club. But yet, she can go there on her lunch breaks. I'm serious when I say that I just like the burgers there.

[Schmeltz]

Yeah, usually I'd insult you back, Norcen, but life's been cruel enough to you as it is. You're a hack artist/musician, relying on recylced shock value, your tastes in film and music are contrived and borrowed, you look like someone's failed attempt at cloning Quentin Tarantino and your homoerotic worshipping of a has been punk icon is a little disturbing. I'm not even going to bother insulting you back because your life's a novelty. You don't have low self esteem issues, you're just perceptive. Yeah, I'm not going to try to make you feel bad about yourself either, because your genetics already do that enough, I'm sure. I'm not going to take the bait, man. You win.

[enree erzweglle]

Norcen, that was fucked up. (n)I thought the same thing, hpdrifter. I figured that I must have missed something--some inside joke or obscure reference--because why would someone be vile like that. I guess I didn't miss anything. Same with Nuzzolese telling Underage Girlie to get over herself. I missed something there too, I think, maybe yes, maybe no.

We occasionally have these involved and informed-seeming discussions (right here, on this board) about why X group in the world clashes with Y group in the world and we take this pietistic attitude about how uncivilized the world around us is, yet we can reach right into each other's lives and say something absolutely hurtful and debased and actually mean it.

I don't understand it but I know that it's a constant in the world. It's just sad to see it locally.

I so much hope that people think hard about the effects they do have and could have on people, on the world while they're in it because every bit of it adds up.

[marsdaddy]

In a thread about how annoying it is when people broadcast their low self esteem, I was joking towards underage g when she was being modest. I was acting as if she was fishing for compliments, when she was just being humble.

And on a different subject, I don't have any aliases, by the way. You mentioned that somewhere else on the board. Just so you know, I only use this screen name. At one time I used "licorice donut" but that was for about a month until people I knew from a year ago remembered be as "nuzzolese" so I changed it back. Since then, I haven't posted under anything else.

Did I? Wow, I don't remember that. Using another screen name really could be like a split personality. I believe that I did, I just don't remember why I'd be shopping for an amp. Do you mean a stereo? Was I looking for a receiver? I didn't get one, whatever it was. Thanks for the help though!

Did I? Wow, I don't remember that. Using another screen name really could be like a split personality. I believe that I did, I just don't remember why I'd be shopping for an amp. Do you mean a stereo? Was I looking for a receiver? I didn't get one, whatever it was. Thanks for the help though!
Heh, I didn't realise for a long time that you were the same person, I thought you were some guy asking advice about an amplifier :)

We talked about your trip to Amsterdam and I told you that I wasn't really an expert on amplifiers :D

I believe you posted it as a reaction my post in a thread sure shot about passions or something, I think posted a picture of some equipment.

[DIGI]

Yeah, usually I'd insult you back, Norcen, but life's been cruel enough to you as it is. You're a hack artist/musician, relying on recylced shock value, your tastes in film and music are contrived and borrowed, you look like someone's failed attempt at cloning Quentin Tarantino and your homoerotic worshipping of a has been punk icon is a little disturbing. I'm not even going to bother insulting you back because your life's a novelty. You don't have low self esteem issues, you're just perceptive. Yeah, I'm not going to try to make you feel bad about yourself either, because your genetics already do that enough, I'm sure. I'm not going to take the bait, man. You win.


Holy crud that was great.

Good post, d-bag.

[enree erzweglle]

Same with Nuzzolese telling Underage Girlie to get over herself. I missed something there too, I think, maybe yes, maybe no.
it's a constant in the world. It's just sad to see it locally.[...] I don't have any aliases, by the way. You mentioned that somewhere else on the board. Just so you know, I only use this screen name. At one time I used "licorice donut" but that was for about a month until people I knew from a year ago remembered be as "nuzzolese" so I changed it back. Since then, I haven't posted under anything else.I'm so sorry if what I thought or said was wrong. Big apologies.

[Bob]

this is worse than that time you said that rape victims were asking for it

[Knuckles]

But shouldn't you be attending your baby right now than wasting your time crying over me insulting it and trying to get back at me in a "clever" way? Hmm, middle age, child, still on a messageboard....I don't know...that's kind of on the pathetic side of life.
Actually this is a good place to waste a little time when the kid and the wife are sleeping.(y)

[DipDipDive]

Right. He's the pathetic one because he's in his thirties and posting on a message board. You're fine though. Making tactless comments about a total stranger's family for no good reason isn't pathetic at all.

[Documad]

Actually this is a good place to waste a little time when the kid and the wife are sleeping.(y)
I can't remember who -- but someone smart (kll perhaps?) pointed out that it's funny when young people make fun of middle aged people for posting on the internet. As if people in their 30s and 40s should have more active social lives than people in their teens and 20s. WTF?

I worked all day, met some friends for dinner downtown, had two cocktails that went straight to my head because I'm old and tired, went home and put up my new mailbox, paid some bills, and had a big glass of water. Now, I'm killing time before the Daily Show in hopes that I won't fall asleep while sitting up. If I was 22, I'd still be downtown with my friends instead of posting here.

[DipDipDive]

No, there's good reason. He actually deserves it.

Oh ok. In that case, way to put that person who you've never met and know nothing about beyond a superficial web-based interaction in his place!

[DipDipDive]

huh?

[Documad]

Norcen, you're not the first to make fun of the aged.

It's amazing how empowered I felt after screwing two screws into a block of wood and hanging my new $9 mailbox on the screws. There's probably a smarter way to do it, but it works. I feel like I belong in a 70s commercial for a musky perfume or a womanly cigarette.

The screws cost me 60 cents. :)

[DipDipDive]

I thought making tactless comments about a strangers family and ripping on people in their thirties for being on a message board were you & your little cliques specialities? You guys have turned it into a practical art form.

My personal choice for most ironic post of all time on this MB, Congratulations Lara (y)

You're fat though. Fat people are open targets. Everyone knows that, Rob. Sheesh.

[Documad]

Shit, that reminds me. If I were thinner, I'd probably have the energy to still be at the club with my friends instead of sitting here feeling empowered by my mailbox installation skills. :(

[Auton]

wow. norcen's kind of a bitch.

[ggirlballa]

wow 5 pages......bravo

[ggirlballa]

Like I wasn't in good shape when I was 21. I was a fucking amatuer boxer for christs sake.

...

[DipDipDive]

An amateur boxer with a bad fade. You would've been an open target back then, too.

[Documad]

It's just as bad as people who at in their late 30's collecting toys.
When you get older, you have more money to buy toys. Unless you have a kid, and then you buy toys and pretend they're for the kid.

[Bob]

I can't wait for Father Time to smack some of these 21yo. kids with a slowing metobolism in about 10-15 years from now.



hey, what did i do?!

[g-mile7]

So I see the mods are still AWOL given bipolar solidja still up in this piece.....son'

[DipDipDive]

So I see the mods are still AWOL given bipolar solidja still up in this piece.....son'

Dude what?

[Documad]

I can't wait for Father Time to smack some of these 21yo. kids with a slowing metobolism in about 10-15 years from now.
I also eat more and exercise less than I did at 21. :p

[g-mile7]

Dude what?


Bad fade man still posting on here and hasn't been banned...let me speak to the masses

[DipDipDive]

Ah. Ok I get you now. :)

[DipDipDive]

Amatuer Boxer, Bad Fade, and no idea what an internet MB was.

I was too busy trying to nail every girl I could, and having the time of my life.

*applause*

[g-mile7]

Amatuer Boxer, Bad Fade, and no idea what an internet MB was.

I was too busy trying to nail every girl I could, and having the time of my life.


God you must get blue to think of what you once had......I'm suprised you haven't become overtly depressed or anything........

[g-mile7]

:) G, I'm not going to say one word to you in this thread,

I'm going to let you embarass yourself all on your own, no help needed from me.

Keep talking to the masses,...whatever the hell that's supposed to mean?


hahahaha come up with some new comebacks...both you and Q are boring me. Embrass myself, don't you punks see I don't get embrassed?


Rob$ and Q say: "But you should!"

I say:

"No one likes you on here, go back to reality and try again at that because your failing here"

[ggirlballa]

I'm still surprised.

burn!

[Lo_Lyfe]

You're fat though. Fat people are open targets. Everyone knows that, Rob. Sheesh.
them and wimmins.

[ggirlballa]

stop the hate !


where's the peace yo?:(

[g-mile7]

Dude, do you really think me & Q are the only people on here who think you embarass yourself with a lot of your posts?
Get it straight G, me & Q are probably some of the only people who have the balls to say it to your face, others choose to take it to their secret AOL chats behind your back.

For the ump-teenth time G, I like you. I think you're a cool, upbeat kid. But I will say, some of the stuff you come out with is ridicolous.

Lets not re-live the same argument on here all over again, huh? We've done this.



And as for no one liking me here, I'd say that's a bit of a stretch. Maybe a lot of the popular crowd doesn't like me because I called them out for some stuff the same as you have, but fuck them. I never liked the popular, back-stabbing type anyway.
Who needs 'em.

hahahahaha can't change who I am now.....and I liked to meet the people who think I "embrass" myself with some my post.....I would tell them to worry bout their damn selves before me and my shit. I give this place that flava in it's ear it lacks...half the time its all in fun, most the time it's to make some heads roll.....

[cosmo105]

I thought making tactless comments about a strangers family
ok, i remembered this today. it came from once, ONCE when cj hood had first registered and posted pics of his baby. and i said aww, cute kid, or something along those lines. then once later on i noticed him saying something about everyone in bf being tards or something, so - JOKINGLY - i said, "fine, i take it back, your kid's not cute :mad:" and he took it to heart. and that's all i remember it being about. i would never insult someone's family.

[TurdBerglar]

what a bunch of nutty fuckers

[cosmo105]

what a bunch of nutty fuckers
seriously. why can't this board be more eddie vedder lol and less omg wtf?

[Maisailana]

is this norcen person talking about raping babies? i didn't really read all the posts.

[cosmo105]

yeah, that's just unacceptable. however, saying someone's child should have been aborted is totally fine.

[Maisailana]

no thanks. i guess i'll just assume you did.

creepy.

[TurdBerglar]

leave the wishing of baby aborting to me

[cosmo105]

Well, sorry I had to be the first to say it.
why are you being such a dick?

[Maisailana]

Well, sorry I had to be the first to say it.
wow. i take it that you don't have much of a life do ya? talking about raping babies and telling people they should have aborted their kids is disgusting.(n)

i bet you have a very small dick.

[TurdBerglar]

norcen is actually interesing now

[Maisailana]

norcen is actually interesing now
:rolleyes:
if you're interested in small dicks and raping babies. sure.

[TurdBerglar]

no

i just like it when people over react to retarded comments. that should be obvious

[Maisailana]

That baby should've been aborted.
i guess this is one of your many intelligent remarks huh? (n)

[Maisailana]

no

i just like it when people over react to retarded comments. that should be obvious
whatever dude. i don't think any of you get laid enough otherwise i'm sure you'd find better things to think/talk about and not spend so much time laughing about raping and aborting children..

[TurdBerglar]

can i rape you?

[Maisailana]

can i rape you?
atleast you wouldn't be a virgin anymore.

[TurdBerglar]

you're so clever it makes me hard. hard in the pants

[Maisailana]

you're so clever it makes me hard. hard in the pants
maybe you should go grab your tweezers and jerk your self off then.

[TurdBerglar]

oh shut up and go paint your fingernails black or whatever the fuck you do

[cosmo105]

See, he gets away with this shit, but not me. Nope. Speak out against favouritism
because it's obvious he's joking and just trying to get a rise.

[Maisailana]

See, he gets away with this shit, but not me. Nope. Speak out against favouritism
oh i see. you're jealous. haha

yeah go listen to your evanescence and paint your fingernails with your small dick now.

[Miho Mingu]

whatever dude. i don't think any of you get laid enough otherwise i'm sure you'd find better things to think/talk about and not spend so much time laughing about raping and aborting children..

I don't like people who use solutions like this - 'get laid more'. No offense, but you're using the most cliche, dumb assed lines ever.

And why is everyone on Norcen's back? Like he hasn't pulled stunts like this before.

[ET]

paint your fingernails with your small dick now.

Hahaha. You must be foreign.

[cosmo105]

Actaully, if my memory serves me correct, you called his kids "Mana-tards" or something similar.

I was more talking about myself and the comments and opinions that you and a lot of your friends have made about me and my parenting skills, and the fact that since I'm over 30 and still on a MB, that must mean I'm some sort of poor parent and a loser.



So yea, since you decided to involve yourself in this,
I'm gonna have to say that above quote makes you a liar.
whatever i said to him was in jest. and YOU laughed and agreed, and took it further. i didn't have a clue who he was when i said it. and i don't remember anything else that you're talking about. whatever, rob. what the fuck is your problem?

[zorra_chiflada]

ello ello ello! wots all this then? :mad:

you're comin with me down to sco'land yard sunshine! :mad:

[na§tee]

LOUDDDD SHOOOUUUTTTTIINNNNGG!!!

sometimes i really think that some people are just dying to be public enemy #1 round here.

[Loppfessor]

I got bored with this thread after a few pages....would someone please bring me up to speed?

[enree erzweglle]

I shouldn't post before I get to the gym. I'm deleting this just because I think what I said was insensitive and who am I to say that anyway. :o

[na§tee]

i'm pretty much constantly logged in when i'm at work, because this page is always running in the background. 9-5. doesn't mean i'm looking at it all the time, though. certainly not! i'll drop by in the evenings sometimes, but i do, you know, other things too. i don't know if i was one of those people you meant but i certainly get paranoid seeing as i'm not on invisible mode and it must look like i'm sat infront of here for 8 hours a day. i'm working, honest! if i managed to get some more film/tv freelance shit i would never have to do this computer lark again. which, god, would be great.

age; meh. do whatever turns you on, like. i don't think anyone is in a position to judge. i can pretty much vouch for mickill though (who i believe the comment was aimed at originally) and say that he too is only on when he's at work. seeing as he has - shock! - a family and a social life and countless other fascinating things to do, like polish his plastic car, when he gets back home.

[enree erzweglle]

ditto :o

[TAL]

i'm pretty much constantly logged in when i'm at work, because this page is always running in the background. 9-5.
If you don't refresh the page for about 20 minutes or so your name disappeares until the next refresh. So don't worry about your name being at the bottom of the page all the time, because it isn't.

[synch]

Or if you put yourself on "invisible"... oooooh!

[na§tee]

Actually, I've never noticed your name down there. :o
THAT'S IT ENREE! I'M NOT DANCING TO YOUR TUNE ANYMORE! FINE! IGNORE MY CONSTANT DEMANDS FOR YOUR ATTENTION! IGNORE THE ONES WHO LOVE YOU! SEE IF I CARE!

:cool:

tal - ta! cool, i figured that. if i want to reply to something i always have to re-enter my username and password. i just don't want to be a lurker!

That can be avoided by checking the Remember Me box before logging in.

[na§tee]

well, yes, i knew that too but i don't do that at work for fear of being accidentally discovered by my colleagues and followed all over the interwebs!

[TAL]

Anyway, your old avatar is back (y)

[na§tee]

haha, yes. after that conversation it reminded me of how much i was attached to the bloody thing. i rescued it from the sad fate of thousands of other disposable avatars!

[mickill]

Yawn.

Sorry, a bit tired. I really hit a nerve, good. That was the point. Now you decide to recycle my own attacks on myself to try and get me back. BORING!

I hate Quentin Tarantino, anyway.

Oh yeah, there's no such thing as punk.

But shouldn't you be attending your baby right now than wasting your time crying over me insulting it and trying to get back at me in a "clever" way? Hmm, middle age, child, still on a messageboard....I don't know...that's kind of on the pathetic side of life.
Yeah, I don't bring my child to work with me, so no. But good one!

As far as hitting nerves, I didn't respond to this thread all night and edit my post to add even more witty material to it like you did. Then again, it wasn't very difficult to make fun of you to begin with.

[Lo_Lyfe]

niggas is trife..

[DIGI]

You're fine though. Making tactless comments about a total stranger's family for no good reason isn't pathetic at all.


Oh, sweet irony!!!!!
(y)

[Nuzzolese]

Is thirty middle aged? I thought middle age was late 40s. In any case, mic...take stock of your life; 30, child, job, clever wit....kiiiinda pathetic if you ask me. You don't even care about foreign "FILMS"
You should have fed your baby peas.


Too soon?

[Ally Al]

i thought 40 was the new 30 ?

[Randetica]

Instead of wasting time making a stupid post on how you didn't read the thread and making yourself look like a total ass, why not read the thread before saying anything next time.

Thanks.


eh that made me lol




everyone needs to calm the fuck down










not!

this is fun

actually it was 'tard-ees'......cosmo made the comment and everyone joined in.....that's how i discovered BF and the circus that it is.....making fun of someone's kids wasn't funny then and it's not funny now!

[Ally Al]

^^^yo rob......you slayed my kids to.......i thought you remembered......that's when you and cosmo were on the 'together forever' tour......but whatever.....i like to goof around like the rest of ya.....but like meatloaf......'i wont do that!'

[roosta]

leave the wishing of baby aborting to me

:D

i read this thread backwards by the way, i recommend it.

[Documad]

Today, I only got two things in the mail. A box of shoes from EBay and a box of CDs from Amazon. Neither fit in my new mailbox, so they were sitting on the stoop. My mailbox is still a virgin.

shit my poor mailbox should be so lucky, it gets raped several times daily

[cj hood]

I remember.
I admit to ripping on them. I won't try to deny I was a dick, like other people are trying to do.
I ripped on Mickill's kid too.
I'm not proud of it, and I consider it a low point for me on here and I apologize to both of you.

The only reason I brought it up was because of DDD's ridicolous-ness in her post.

and dude, you really have it twisted, me & Cosmo have never gotten along.


its over.....
