Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

i try to listen to peoples advice but it is hard for me to take their advice seriously. most advice seems to be about turning away from the problem not towards it. be positive, be happy, live in the moment, allow jesus in your life, keep yourself busy with meditation, etc. BULLSHIT. none of that crap has ever worked for me. if i'm sad and miserable then that is exactly what i'm going to be, if the past is haunting me, thats where i'm going, if the future is of concern then i will bring my attention there. there is no way i'm going to put on a happy face and pretend everything is just peachy when things are not. you'll be surprised what a relief it feels to just let everything all out.

The idea of always being "positive" and "living in the moment" isn't to cover up sadness with a fake smile. Instead, just accept whatever feelings you are having. This actually helped me a lot a few months ago. A few events happened which left me very sad--I had never felt sadness like that before. But I was able to tell myself, "This is just how I need to feel right now, and that's OK." Accepted the negative emotions is how you overcome them, I think.

Another good sentence to keep in the back of your mind is, "This too shall pass." That applies to anything, really. If you feel really happy, it's good to think, "This happiness will come to an end." And if you feel sad, "This sadness will come to an end." You never have one emotion all the time. Accepting whatever it is you feel at any given moment as well as acknowledging the fact that it's only temporary can (at least in my experience) keep you on a consistent level of peace and happiness, rather than a roller coaster ride of emotions.

If you can resolve the problem, then do it and stop being unhappy. If you can't resolve the problem, then there is no use in being unhappy.

That is to say, feeling negative should serve as a motivation for change. If change is not possible or nothing is identifiably wrong, then the negative feeling has no purpose....so give it no attention nor power.

Also, if you fall over and smash your head, the pain will serve as a message to tell you something could be wrong. So, you go get it checked out professionally. When you find out that no damage has been caused, then that pain you feel suddenly becomes a useless message. It doesn't occupy your mind as much because nothing is wrong, and it's now just a 'negative feeling'. As Sefalik said, "It will come to pass".

Personally, dwelling in the 'moment' (giving little importance to my past, mostly) and laughing at my stupid past actions makes life far more of an easy ride. And even more so by just shrugging off any pressure to conform, or to 'do as one should do'. Ultimately, just really be yourself and have no regrets from doing so. ^_^

I think the biggest fear most people have is from being judged. When you get over that, life is a breeze. Accept that no matter how 'legendary' you think you are, people will hate you, be jealous of you, like you, love you, be indifferent to your presence, stalk you, want to knock you out, will find you rude, will find you pleasant, will think you're stupid, will think you're intelligent etc etc. You will have a negative effect on some, and a positive effect on others. Accept that as a hard fact: when you please one, you'll offend another. And judgement is inevitable. So, meh.

I don't know who I am anymore.

I hate everything, I'm going to kill myself. (not really, just killing myself mentally)

I can't tell who is a female, and who is a male.

Spoiler for Sayonara:

LOL Link, who cares? Doesn't matter. Laugh at it.

And that's a nice view.

Customer disservice is my grumble of the day. I have been attempting to contact our primary VoIP provider for several days now to place an order for more lines. One would think that some motherfucker would call/email me back. After all, I'm trying to give them money. WTF?!?!

The fuckers have until noon today to contact me or I'm moving all 300 of our lines to a new provider.

Damn, I saw 'last post by Anderj' and assumed there was some sort of local bacon crisis.

Melanie. Hope your computer gets fixed soon.

My rant is that I want to respond to more people here in this thread and to a PM that's been sitting in my box forever.
I'm not trying to be an anti-social jerk, I just really suck at personal correspondences.

Also, I just woke up but I want desperately to crawl back into bed. And my sheets crumpled as I slept so my legs look like snake skin for all the designs pressed into them and they itch horribly lol

Rant:

I stayed up 60-90 minutes for a WBTB, trying to get my mind active, because the last time I stayed up for that long, I got into the dream state in a few minutes...of course, it was just luck but....staying up for that long to get crappy non-lucid dreams,

It's like my mind is saying...."Trolololollolololololollllll"

..........and I have a paper to finish for Chemistry, and the Practical to "study" for....screw that!!!

gdkjshgfkdjgshkgjfk....

I'm not going to get a good grade from the final paper anyway, since I have to deal with the other lady who takes care of the paper grading....I swear, she needs a dildo or something up her fdaskjfgajkjfadhk

Well, now that's a complaint

Rashes appearing and I haven't seen them in a long while. Might be the humid weather, etc.

Edits: Reckon I should just get on with my longER rant although it had probably been said. I just felt the need to vent for the sake of venting.

Spoiler for Just a casual long rant:

Are you happy? No, I'm not happy. I'll be darned if another one comes up to me and tell me life is precious that's why you should be happy. God damn it. That doesn't even constitutes to a reason for being happy. In fact I know most people around me are going on with life trying to convince themselves to be contented than being happy. Or it's just me. Bleh.

What's there to be unhappy about? Life is not bad for me, I've got all I need. See what I'm doing here, trying to make myself feel contented. It's funny I'm not feeling agitated yet as I'm typing this. Like I say, I just need my usual rant once in a while. I haven't been posting lengthy rants here for a long time.

So what is bad about life? I don't even lack any material thing. That's the problem, for all I lack are things that can't be bought and it's not much to ask for. Is it too much to ask for a happy complete family? Is it too much to ask for a same gender partner? Is it too much to ask for better lecturers? I was telling my mum, I used to find my grades a joke, but after asking around, I find that everyone's grades is a joke. They're not competent as a lecturer and they refused to admit it, pushing all the blame to us.

I pay thee to scold me?

/Rant Over

Content and happy pretty much mean the same thing, but it seems they're implying that Content is some kind of diluted happiness where you just focus on the bare minimum or something....I don't think you're the only person.

Same here, I basically ran out of things to bitch about lol. I do have long rants as well, but those are more of outside thinking rather than situations in life.

Everyone would like that.

Sometimes I question my TAs' competence as well, I thought University/college was supposed to be all high and proper, but it's really just people socializing even more, and leeching off of each other to study for exams and all that.

And the people who have families that are insanely rich, they party it up even more while getting the bare minimum....so that means when they do pass college, they won't know the meaning of hard work that got their parents to be so rich.....so when they have children, they won't know shit on the essentials of having a good work ethic.....as long as daddy/mommy is paying for everything....what's the point in even having a degree in college.

It seems college for rich people is just for shits and giggles, just to show that their kids aren't a bunch of lifeless sacks of shit with their iPhones and Social media drama episodes.

o.o, Did I just say that lol.

I would have many things to rant about, but i think i'll save it for a time when i'll be really depressed and feel down... Just by starting a serious rant i would make myself feel sad.

Anyway... i'm done with everything for today, even while i didn't do anything useful... i just feel like going to sleep and not caring about anything... I might watch The Mentalist and Grey's Anatomy on the TV first though as they are coming up now...

I'm annoyed that I don't own a sort of cabin in the woods somewhere. Bloody city.

I'm naturally content and optimistic When I'm feeling down, I acknowledge the feelings and reason through them. Sometimes I'm just having a bad day and that's okay too. But maintaining a negative attitude is too draining.
Despite all my rants in this thread, lol, I can usually put a positive spin on pretty much anything.
Even in the middle of an anxiety attack, I'll poke fun at myself (AS I'm complaining and feeling frustrated).
Even my p-doc doesn't understand how I can smile and laugh AS I'm crying lol There's humor in a lot of the bad situations I face.

everyone.

My son was with his lawyer for almost 1 1/2 hours. It's annoying, but I waited in the car and got some more reading done.
It's a wonderful day, so I did some laundry, but it's so windy it took several tries to get the clothes pins on so the clothes wouldn't blow away

And as I walked over to the clothesline, Snuffanuff followed me all the way there. What the heck. His tie-down should have stopped him. But no, the wire had broken and he dragged it behind him
I tied the 2 ends in a knot, so hopefully it will hold until the weekend.

Something interesting happened. When I checked the mail on my way out, there was a magazine waiting for me. Guess which magazine.............. American Baby I've not googled baby info or looked up anything about the subject at all. I think it's funny that I was randomly selected at a time in my life that I'm thinking of getting pregnant again.

So I finally FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY got a Wii Motion Plus controller so I can play Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Then, I get past all the screens telling me how to fucking connect and disconnect the adapter as if it's NEUROSURGERY, and then it says, "Please connect your Nunchuk adapter to the Wii Motion Plus enabled controller."

WELL FUCK ME I LOST MY NUNCHUK YEARS AGO

I'm suddenly feeling that my posts are too 'first world problem'y so I shouldn't even post here anymore. :x

I'm fed up with all the ambiguity in my life at this point.
No straight answers from anybody
Gahh I just wanna shake people and tell them it's not cute or funny when they act coy and clueless.
Mainly friend drama, but honestly, what's the purpose of acting all depressed and sad when you refuse to even hint to me what it's about.
Also, giggling with another friend about some secret when I'm standing right there, then deny anything and everything.
This is irritating

I know that annoyance well. Don't worry, if you really want to you'll meet salvation one day.

I wouldn't worry about silly childish behaviors like that. If you're comfortable with yourself none of that will really matter, just let your friends know that you're there if they feel like being mature about it.

Sadly that's how stupid people are...

Nah, I'm cool with the first-world rants. If ALL the rants in this thread were life-or-death matters, I couldn't read it without getting horribly depressed. It helps put things in perspective, too, but if someone tells me my problems are irrelevant because there are starving children in Africa or something, well I'm going to be pissy at them. My problems are mine, and they matter to me xD

Seriously, though, I often feel like I would rather take on other people's burdens, even though it's their problem and they're the only ones who can fix it in the end. Of course I'm supportive and offer advice if it's asked for, but yeah... Still wishing I could do something for the friend I sent the netbook to. The situation has basically stagnated... his mom isn't going to beat him or something, thankfully, but it doesn't look like she's ever going to unground him. And that means it's teetering at a point where we're not allowed to interfere =/

I have 9 days off in a row, except for one 10-hour shift tomorrow.

I don't wanna do eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Fucking political science class, this fucker is making an extra credit assignment where the winning team gets TWELVE points added on to their exam. Runner up gets 8 points, and third place gets 4 points.

And the limited amount on each team is 4 members. Are you freaking kidding me? So I skipped lectures, just for him to give a bullshit extra-credit assignment where it's essentially everyone group for their fucking selves? You have to be BSing man....12 freaking points to the winning team? And here I thought I had to worry about getting a good grade in this course, so now the curve is probably going to be fucked up since the ones that will win might be the ones who get 100s on their exams, and 12 points added on to that will SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MESS EVERYTHING!

So that means, even if I do make a 100, it might not be enough to at least get a C+, which means the probability of me taking this course again.....probably 30%?? This is assuming that everyone did extremely well on all two of the exams so far, but I doubt EVERYONE made good grades since there's always shitheads, such as myself, who did horrible on all two of them. Not only that, I have this feeling from Biology as well, I might fail it, and this is assuming that everyone didn't do horrible on all three exams....

God fucking hell, I just want to fucking kill myself right now...and the Chemistry Lab Final Paper, our TA said to follow the instructions on the paper for an overview on what we're supposed to do. Okay, dude, thanks a lot, but you mind telling me the fucking format for this bullshit paper I'm trying to fabricate in the last minute dude?

I go to the support area that the majority of people have already joined to, and they're confused on how all the TAs want our paper to be formatted. I'm making mine 1.5 spaced, 1'' margins, justified, blahblahbalh....and I have a feeling that's going to be wrong because despite what my TA said to just "follow the instructions" (you fucking dipshit motherfreaking ugly prick who can't even declare a comprehensible speech to the class, always fucking quiet as hell that I have to strain my ears just to hear him say "AFSJKAFSJDKAGDSJGKAG"

And the way he writes information on the board, he isn't even fucking writing shit right...he tries to write a simple number like 2, and it ends up being @#%@%%%%%%%%, like I'm not even joking, how the fuck am I going to rely on his word that we should "follow the instructions" if the person who grades our paper, assignments, and DRAs is the same person you had a few fights over maintaining safety for his sections of the labs?

Huh? Is this the bullshit that I'm going to be paying loans for? This is so fucking bullshit, and I swear my B that I had for this class is going to go to a C, and the only A I'll have for this semester will be the Biochemistry Seminar Classes I had to go to and write simple reports on.

And the Sociohorticulture class is starting to become a Sociowhore-ticulture class in my eyes now. I get a perfect score on my reflection papers, okay, I'm happy, but the fact that the TA or the professor made nice comments on it makes me wonder if she fell for the bullshit interest for this horrible class trying to make us aware of how important it is to have plant-human interaction.

Okay...I get it, plants are important, but don't make the class to the point where I love stuffing flowers up my ass and perform daily rituals on the sheer divinity of them. That's just so bullshit, I mean, I should be glad she fell for my bullshit, but if I did that shit in the last minute to get a perfect score, what does that have to say about the professor's competence?

Am I just in the class just to get perfect scores just because I use colorful syntax, and the fact that she falls for my pretentious interest really all that's necessary to get at least a B in the class? (An A if I pull a miracle on the second exam next week).

Bullshit education. Even private universities give this bullshit too, I don't know what's the big deal with distinguishing private and public when you're getting the same education.....

Oh your from Harvard? Sure, we'll pick you so you can start scanning items at the grocery store! Clearly your high levels of intelligence is suitable to do something that isn't rocket science! OF COURSE we'll pick your bitch-ass....



And Biology, god, can I just kill myself right now? Final exam....combining the asshole who lectured the first two exams is going to have his concepts on the exam, which makes the more awesome lecturer we have now not being able to put as much material compared to that guy.

He did two exams, she only did one.....just one....FUCKING ONE EXAM...and I BARELY did better than on that than the last two.

I mean after practicals for Chemistry and Biology (horrible mistake for me to take two difference science classes at once Link, nice fucking job you piece of amphibian shit...go jump of a cliff and land straight into a fucking spike you dumb shit..............

UIGHGHDFAHGKDFHG HGGGGGGGGGGNNNH

Sure I can calm down, but that isn't going to make a Unicorn fart rainbows and give me good grades!!!

FAJFAGSAGJSAGJAGJG

fccccccccccccccck uuu edumacation. Why can't we have better TAs for our labs that WORK together to give a consistent guideline that doesn't require everyone to make a fucking facebook group because they are so full of shit in giving out instructions??????

I'm only worried about this because when the semester is over, if things turn out bad, my father is going to nag nag nag, and blah blh blahbalbhablhbalbhalbhablahblabhlabhlbhab BLAH BLAHBBLAHBALBAHLBHALBAHLBHALBA about my "promise" for getting good grades......

Then I'll be going on vacation to meet relative that I could hardly care less for....what would make the trip tolerable is if my relative makes a good freaking sandwich everyday, with cheesecake as dessert.

Other than that, I don't want to be near you, or your children, because god knows what will children do to me when I'm around them. I do nothing, and they cause havoc, they're like demon spawns....

If I didn't have a father, I wouldn't be like this. But that itself is a stupid excuse on my part.

I'm a shithead, so full of shit, I admit it, can I just have the dead-end job NOW instead of LATER?~!?!?!?

Can I just jump off a cliff please? PLEASE? PLEASE? Come on! I have three half-sisters, they have children already, I'm sure they're going to create viable offspring right?!?!? RIGHT???

PLEASE JUST>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FAJDGKAJSDGHLG
