We've decided to see other people.Also, you whine about how difficult it is for you to talk to people, and how it's something you've faced your entire life? You are aware that a goodly percentage of people on this board suffer from Asperger's, limited autism, and other social disorders, right? SirNitram in particular sticks out, I believe CaptainChewbacca and Durandal are also in that boat. I am too.
SirNitram's been happily married for years, I haven't had a problem dating ever since high school, I'm not certain about Chewie's or Durandal's relationship status, but I certainly don't see them whining up the shitfest you are. We're all people with clinically diagnosed social disorders ranging from annoying to severe, and we've managed to suck it up and get over it.
Wait.... huh?Colonel Olrik wrote:Durandal? Socially awkward? You got it wrong. The guy appears in women magazines, has the talk and looks almost as good as I do.
Yeah, Durandal smugged all over everyone when he did that. Bless his cotton iSocks.havokeff wrote:Wait.... huh?Colonel Olrik wrote:Durandal? Socially awkward? You got it wrong. The guy appears in women magazines, has the talk and looks almost as good as I do.
After having read through this train-wreck of a thread, I'm going to hop on the bandwagon. Frankly, everything you've written practically screams "I'm a stalker!" We have not misjudged you. You're 31 and you've pined over this woman for two years because you're apparently so socially maladjusted that you've confused friendly sympathy with a deep romantic yearning on her part. She gave you more than just the time of day and it's inflated your childish teenaged fantasies about her. Only you haven't been a teenager in years.Macross wrote:All I can say is that you have misjudged me. If I try to explain myself any further it will only be met with more scorn and ridicule. If I say nothing, it only would only confirm your false impression of me.
I read every godsdamned word you wrote in this thread. You're easier to read than a grade-school reading primer. The story of Macross goes as follows:I look over the responses in this thread and I see that some of you have not read a single word I wrote. They only responded to what they thought I wrote, or picked up on something someone else wrote. How can I possibly defend myself against this?
Because you're seeking validation to justify your world-view. You greet every reasonable piece of advice with more whining, more exposition on what you think is going on, and how much life sucks and how socially inept you are because you were molested by donkeys as a child, and how we should all greet you with understanding and how we should cheer for your tragically heroic quest for this woman on the shining pedestal.Consider this, why would someone with my background openly put myself into a position of ridicule? I thought this forum, a place where the people pride themselves on their intelligence, could help me with a problem, I thought this place would have the knowledge and experience that I could draw upon. But I see most of you lack the compassion and the insight to turn that knowledge and experience into wisdom.
Clearly, they're not hurting enough. If they were, you'd not be going on like someone who's got a candlelit shrine in his parents' basement. Life hurts. Lessons hurt. Get over it, you're thirty-one years old. We are listening, and what you're saying only demonstrates that you and reality are badly out-of-synch.I learned very early on that words do hurt, especially the taunts that contained some bit of truth within them. I am not hurt or angry or mad at anyone here, because you do not understand why I am the way I am or think the way I do. You do not understand me or my motivations. When I try to explain, you refuse to listen.
You are delusional and you make excuses for yourself. You've done so many times in this thread. Since you've first broached this situation, you've apparently done absolutely nothing, which is exactly the same thing you've probably been doing your entire life. And there are people who have replied to this thread who have told you that they went through what you did, and they grew the fuck up.You say I am delusional, lying to myself, making excuses; well this is not the first time I have heard this said to me. You probably consider some of the things I said to be irrational, without reason or logic, yet I can say the same thing about some of the responses I see. I know that you can not relate to me or my experiences.
Lies, and damned lies.I do not want or need your pity or your sympathy,
You've got it backwards. We started out believing that you were maybe just a little misguided. We misunderstood you then. We understand you loud and clear now. Truth hurts, little man-child. Almost as much as the donkeys.all I wanted was for you try and understand me and my point of view. Some of you started to understand me,
The more and more I read this, the creepier, more paranoid, and more self-involved you sound. If I were a woman and you worked with me, I'd be talking to my supervisor about you. I'd especially be talking to them if you came up to me and talked about your stalkee and her living arrangements and your loving "observations" of her. I'd also be enrolling in the local concealed-carry class.while others could not see past their own preconceived notions of how someone should think and feel. You had to warp and distort everything I have tried to say, you discarded everything that I have learned and experienced so I fit into something that you do understand.
You sound like someone who should never, ever be allowed into a situation where you might end up in a romantic relationship until you've completed a strenuous regime of psychiatric counseling. You, sir, sound like someone who is only a few steps away from ending up on the local news in connection to your stalkee's murder.This is something that I have been experiencing my entire life, so I can forgive you. If you do not understand why, then you are probably not as smart as you thought you were. I do not say this as an insult, but rather something to reflect upon.
I'm sorry what? Are you fucking shitting me? It's more like boy meets girl, boy has secret crush on girl for over two years, boy finds out girl is likely engaged or married, boy tries to come up with a reason of why this cannot be, boy still can't ask her out, boy makes up some convoluted story of why he still hasn't done shit after two weeks, boy comes up with stupid story on why this is special, boy gets laughed at by SD.net, boy claims to be greatly misunderstood, boy gets laughed at by SD.net some more.Macross wrote:I am seriously disturbed by what I see here. You managed to take a simple “Boy meets girl, boy must learn to love again” story and turned it into some psycho/slasher/stalker story, you really should be ashamed of yourselves. I know I have my own insecurities, I know I still have a lot to learn, but to take this as far as you have simply defies all logic and reason.
Here, let me tell you what will happen with your co-worker. If she hasn't already, she will marry someone, anyone other than you.I don’t know what will happen with my coworker, I have already said everything I needed to say.
Oh yes, your imaginary friend, I'm sure she'll love you back every bit as much as you love her.I do know I will love somebody someday and I will be able to love her in a way that only a few of you could ever understand.
Well, I don't know what he learned about himself, but I can tell you what I learned about him: I learned why he's still single, and will likely remain so for the rest of his life. And for a damn good reason too.Zablorg wrote:What really confuses me is his "what I've learned about myself" thing.
What's there to learn?
Oh god, I missed this.I do know I will love somebody someday and I will be able to love her in a way that only a few of you could ever understand.

What? What?! You came here for the plot of a teenage brainless flick?!?Macross wrote:I am seriously disturbed by what I see here.

And out comes the persecution complex, right on schedule. We're 'Throwing away what we stand for', just to 'Take some shots'. You're hallucinating, boy. You're not that important. You're inflating yourself and painting yourself a victim, but you simply don't matter. You would have to matter for us to throw away anything.All you have done is thrown away every thing you stand for, and for what? A few laughs at my expense? I used to admire this group for the way they could take someones argument, find some faulty assumption or logical flaw and tear it apart, you were using science, logic and reason to fight ignorance, false assumption and intolerant closed minds. Now you have become the very thing you claim to hate the most.
You have failed to give us any datum that suggests we should conclude anything else.You failed to observe, you failed to question, you failed to look past your own preconceived notions even after you learned the unusual circumstances behind my social inexperience. You still continued to judge me and looked upon me as some social outcast, and this “witch-hunt” is the result.
You jump to your own conclusion here. And it's the fucking Olympic Record Pole Vault. We know you have experience at some aspect of life; you can type. Your social skills, if they developed, are worse than those with crippling disabilities, social in nature.Inexperience does not mean no experience. Inexperience with relationships does not mean inexperience with life. My social skills may not have developed normally, but that does not mean they did not develop at all. It does not mean that I did not develop other skills. Your logic is flawed. You all jumped to the wrong conclusion.
I don't care if they hurt you. I don't care if they amuse you. I don't care if tomorrow, you find a new girl and live Happily Ever After. I don't care if you get hit by a bus.And you think your taunts and ridicule hurt me? They do not. I do not see any truth in your words, I know who I am. I understand why I was confused before, why I wasn’t feeling the way I thought I should, its because I am now comfortable and confident with who I am. I know I can accept and live with what ever happens.
Very zen. If any of us had lived such a simplistic, myopic life, you'd have a shred of a point. But instead, you are grandstanding, airing your myriad neuruouses and complexes, and overinflating yourself.How can any of you know happiness if you have never been unhappy? How can you know confidence when you have never known doubt? How can you know hope when you have never known despair? How can you know inner peace if you have never hated yourself?
All relevent and provided data supports a conclusion that she will stare at you like you're crazy. It was over years ago.I don’t know what will happen with my coworker, I have already said everything I needed to say. I do know I will love somebody someday and I will be able to love her in a way that only a few of you could ever understand.
I see no reason for you to lie to us, save for your pathetic and laughable attacks, based only on your own persecution and superiority complexes. If you expect me to find some grand truth in your selfish, grandstanding, pathetic lectures....If you have found any truth in what I have said, then there is hope for you. If not, then you will never grow beyond what you are right now, and I find that sad.
We'd just title you, if I had my way. 'Creepy Fucking Stalker'. So the female members are warned about your obsessive personality. We are right, presuming all data you provided is accurate.If this means I am no longer welcome on this forum, then so be it. It’s a small price to pay for what I have learned about myself. I know who I am, I know you have misjudged me. Label me, ban me, mock me, it will never change the fact that you are wrong about me. Maybe in time you will see that.
Sooooo..... it's been exactly five days since you declared "Time to take the plunge". Have you done it yet? or have you simply been sitting somewhere thinking of how you're not ready?Macross wrote:I am seriously disturbed by what I see here.

There are no words for this kind of melodramatic, narcissistic, arrogant presumption. "You have become the very thing you claim to hate the most"? What the fuck is this?All you have done is thrown away every thing you stand for, and for what? A few laughs at my expense?

We never learned anything about you besides your own contemptible attitude, you fucking worthless liar. You never even tried to clarify what made you so unique, you just kept singing your sad songs to yourself. You don't reply to anyone at all, you just put up another block of self-righteous posturing every few days.You failed to observe, you failed to question, you failed to look past your own preconceived notions even after you learned the unusual circumstances behind my social inexperience. You still continued to judge me and looked upon me as some social outcast, and this “witch-hunt” is the result.
Random sophistry. It's pretty obvious that you're talking, not to us, but to the voices in your own head that are berating you for your worthlessness. That's the only thing that explains your bizarre behavior.Inexperience does not mean no experience. Inexperience with relationships does not mean inexperience with life. My social skills may not have developed normally, but that does not mean they did not develop at all. It does not mean that I did not develop other skills. Your logic is flawed. You all jumped to the wrong conclusion.
You are looking at your reflection in a mirror, through tear-stained eyes, at unkempt hair and five-day-old facial growth and a stained face, and saying this to yourself to try to push the demons away. Get professional help man, for God's sake.And you think your taunts and ridicule hurt me? They do not. I do not see any truth in your words, I know who I am. I understand why I was confused before, why I wasn’t feeling the way I thought I should, its because I am now comfortable and confident with who I am.

You are not even reading this thread, are you?How can any of you know happiness if you have never been unhappy? How can you know confidence when you have never known doubt? How can you know hope when you have never known despair? How can you know inner peace if you have never hated yourself?
What the fuck is wrong with you? "Few of you could ever understand?" Do you have some kind of schizophrenia, some disease that makes you think you are more unique in this world than you are?I don’t know what will happen with my coworker, I have already said everything I needed to say. I do know I will love somebody someday and I will be able to love her in a way that only a few of you could ever understand.
Where the hell do you get off posting this bullshit? "Hope for you?" We aren't the ones who need hope. In case you forgot, you are the one who came here to ask for advice.If you have found any truth in what I have said, then there is hope for you. If not, then you will never grow beyond what you are right now, and I find that sad.
It's one thing to go "*sniff* I don't care what you jerks think! *sniff*," but it's a whole new kind of asshole that combines that and arrogant condescension of the people who are berating them. I was trying to be nice to you earlier precisely because I know what it's like to be the way you are. But this post isn't just exasperating, nauseating, or annoying, it's offensive. Even Stewtard's "none of you can perceive my brilliance" managed to be funny.If this means I am no longer welcome on this forum, then so be it. It’s a small price to pay for what I have learned about myself. I know who I am, I know you have misjudged me. Label me, ban me, mock me, it will never change the fact that you are wrong about me.

That's because your story is not "boy meets girl, boy must learn to love again". It is "boy meets girl, boy admires girl from afar for two years without saying anything, boy finds out girl is moving in with a man, boy runs to Internet forum to whine about his pathetic excuse for a life."Macross wrote:I am seriously disturbed by what I see here.

Show me the logical fallacies you are vaguely alluding to.All you have done is thrown away every thing you stand for, and for what? A few laughs at my expense? I used to admire this group for the way they could take someones argument, find some faulty assumption or logical flaw and tear it apart, you were using science, logic and reason to fight ignorance, false assumption and intolerant closed minds.

The reasons for your failure do not change the fact that it is a failure, fucktard.You failed to observe, you failed to question, you failed to look past your own preconceived notions even after you learned the unusual circumstances behind my social inexperience. You still continued to judge me and looked upon me as some social outcast, and this “witch-hunt” is the result.
If you have such great social skills, why are you unable to demonstrate them here, by making us sympathize with you?Inexperience does not mean no experience. Inexperience with relationships does not mean inexperience with life. My social skills may not have developed normally, but that does not mean they did not develop at all. It does not mean that I did not develop other skills. Your logic is flawed. You all jumped to the wrong conclusion.
In other words, "I'm Stuart Smalley, and I'm ... OK!"And you think your taunts and ridicule hurt me? They do not. I do not see any truth in your words, I know who I am. I understand why I was confused before, why I wasn’t feeling the way I thought I should, its because I am now comfortable and confident with who I am. I know I can accept and live with what ever happens.
We've all had those emotions, you idiot. We just learned to deal with them. The fact that you honestly think it's possible for someone to have lived a life without unhappiness just because he is happy now only indicates that you are as stupid as you are unpopular.How can any of you know happiness if you have never been unhappy? How can you know confidence when you have never known doubt? How can you know hope when you have never known despair? How can you know inner peace if you have never hated yourself?
Proof is in the pudding, asshole. And your pudding is shit-flavoured.I don’t know what will happen with my coworker, I have already said everything I needed to say. I do know I will love somebody someday and I will be able to love her in a way that only a few of you could ever understand.
The irony of such a hopeless creepy loser lecturing other people on personal growth is just too obvious.If you have found any truth in what I have said, then there is hope for you. If not, then you will never grow beyond what you are right now, and I find that sad.
Ah yes. Time. That thing you keep pissing away by drowning in your own neuroses rather than taking action. While you sat and moped, some other guy grabbed the brass ring. For all you know, his cock is pushing between her wet pussy lips right now.If this means I am no longer welcome on this forum, then so be it. It’s a small price to pay for what I have learned about myself. I know who I am, I know you have misjudged me. Label me, ban me, mock me, it will never change the fact that you are wrong about me.
