When you make a thread/post about your personal life...

[DipDipDive]

Are you seeking advice, or just talking about yourself for the sake of talking about yourself?

I usually get the impression that in most cases, it's the latter.

[Mr Films]

you know when George runs through the streets at the end of the movie yelling Merry Christmas.

kinda like that.

[DipDipDive]

That movie's annoying.

[monkey]

i think both. sometimes it's seeing the situation spelled out in front of you that helps. and sometimes, you want advice. and sometimes, there's that little attention whore dying to come out.

I agree with this. But what I don't get is the people who seemingly ignore the legitimate advice they are offered, and continue to rationalize and/or make excuses for their behavior instead.

[cookiepuss]

Sometimes I think we also wanna know if anyone can relate to what we're going through.

[kll]

hahahaha. who was that one girl who would post seriously fucked up stories asking for advice and then everyone would respond and she would blatantly ignore everyone. then next day another horrendous story, then ignore.

Welcome to life.

And It's a Woderful Life is a great, great movie. Give it another shot. I bet it's not what you think it is. That is one hard, cruel film.

[QueenAdrock]

It depends. When I post about my personal life, it's to vent/get advice. I do use this board as an outlet for things I can't really talk about to people I know in real life. If I specifically ask for advice, it's because I value people's opinions and want to see what they'd do. Otherwise, I just won't ask.

[kll]

that's right! thanks.

I love a depressing tale of a loser as much as the next dork, but not so much that I need to see it 40 times in a span of 3 days.

[kll]

I wish that when everyone asked the typical pleasantry of "Hi. How are you?" that everyone would actually respond with HOW THEY ARE instead of "Fine. How are you?"

[DipDipDive]

"...I got a rash so bad on my ass, I can barely sit down, but you know me. I can't complain."

[abcdefz]

Ah. Yeah -- I wouldn't watch a movie 40 times in three days even if I were editing it.

[kll]

"...I got a rash so bad on my ass, I can barely sit down, but you know me. I can't complain."

haha! seriously, life would be more interesting when you ran into people at the grocery store and you got that!

[DipDipDive]

I kinda wanna punch that "every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings" kid in the back of the fucking head at this point.

[The Notorious LOL]

no need, I bet that kid is long dead

[HEIRESS]

Id rather have people here hate my guts than people IRL because I complain too much

its the internet, and ranting shall occur

If i didnt vent so much here Id end up being one of those fags with a fucking journal bound in brown suede with some gold embossing on the cover

fuck that shit.

[DipDipDive]

Yeah but then you could get a blazer with suede elbow pads to match.

[Mr Films]

well, there you go.

[HEIRESS]

I totally own a brown corduroy blazer, I could slap some suede patches on the elbows and get me a nice caligraphy pen set and Im ready to release my thoughts and doubts and feelings onto paper

internet adieu! I need you no more!

[jabumbo]

i think this is usually what i think. usually just to make whatever the situation is to seem less isolated and more like something that happens with some regularity

Remember to say "whilst"!

[DandyFop]

Nope (www.zuzu.net) Zuzu has her own site...welcome to the future zuzu!

[HEIRESS]

Oh I shalst, feareth not kind sir.

Who the hell doesn't do this?

[DipDipDive]

Plenty of people.

...albiet whilst gesturing with a clove cigarette.

[ToucanSpam]

I think that people have a right to post that kind of stuff if they want to, but they should also be prepared for nasty replies and a mixed response. It seems only fair that should you have the bravery to speak up about something personal that you be prepared for asshole-ish responses as well as the good little responses that come in between.

[HEIRESS]

I only smoke nutmeg now, new years resolution!

[DandyFop]

Plenty of people.

I think everyone does it at one point or another. Even if they don't ask for the advice, most people know how to get themselves out of a shitty situation but they are too scared/can't put the effort in to do it. It's life...hopefully most of us grow out of it.

[skra75]

I've seen the girls that sport this look. they hang out in Border's Bookstore at the mall and are usually 30 to 40 lbs overweight. (lb)

[HEIRESS]

hey, I may be a lil hefty but I wouldnt say im notoriously big or anything

I agree that everyone talks.

I don't agree that everyone disregards the advice offered by the people with whom they incessantly discuss their personal problems.

[DipDipDive]

YEAH (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=74981), I hate those people who are all "Hey, I'm 23 and I've got all the answers to life and nobody can tell me shit"


The only thing I hate more than those fuckers are the fuckers who make endless amounts of threads about everything they hate. "I hate this" and "I hate that" and "I hate it when these kind of people do this activity".
LIKE ANYONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU HATE.

I hate those assholes.

Nice applicable example, beef nips.

Funny that you probably did a good 5-10 minutes of sifting through my threads and that's the best you could come up with.

[DipDipDive]

Nah, I merely searched:
"Dumb 23yo. kids who think they have all the answers to life regardless of what people who have made hundreds of thousands of dollars from buying & selling real estate tell her & her boyfriend"

Nice applicable example, beef nips.

.

[beastieangel01]

to get advice or input whether or not I ask for it directly. Regardless of asking for it, most people seem to respond with advice anyway, so that works.

[marsdaddy]

I say we could all benefit from a little Tony Robbins -- only to realize whatever we think we have bad, isn't as bad as having to listen to yourself all day if you're Tony Robbins.

I usually post about my personal life to boast and belittle.
