As many of you know, I've been feeling pretty down lately. Well, I'll get to the point for a change. I'm making this thread so I don't mess up the shout box.
I'm kind of stuck in a hole so to speak, and I guess, I'm just afraid of asking for some help with climbing back out of it.
I'm easily confused and indecisive, often regretting my stupid decisions made too hastily. This is part of the problem with me being so down. I'm having arguments with myself, like "I should leave there's nothing for me to do here." vs. "No you shouldn't, there's people who think you're nice here." and similar such things.
And for those who been wondering why I'm always so down on myself, it is due to me constantly regretting my stupidity and anger. Lack of confidence plays a part too, everything that goes wrong, every stupid thing I do, and so on makes me lose confidence in myself. Things I think I'm good at or enjoy doing I lose interest in wen something comes up to make me doubt myself.
I still want to stand out somehow and not just be another face in the crowd, which is oddly contradictory to my usual shyness.
So, basically I'd like some help with finding something I can do here to have fun like everyone else here. I'm at a loss on trying to figure it out on my own.

Well, Burst said he is making Chaos Fighters again. Do you want to help me make a prototype Arcade mode cutscene by drawing?

My art isn't that great. Though if can't find anyone else I can try. I use Paint and still need practice for art on comp.
I used to like RPing, but get too competitive over it. I'm quitting RPing, and that's adding to my sadness.

Oh, come ON! If people ran on happiness, you'd be a serial killer for those who read the top post! Everyone has faults, I mean, it's easier for me to understand people in way here since I don't have to make a note of anyone's body language, vocal tones or ones facial expressions. As much as I like Sherlock Holmes and Professor Layton I am able to read people as well as an enraged orc.... or at least I used to...mostly....kind of. You see....wait. Umm, what...why am I telling you this? Um..well, I just wanna help. and, yes I do write as if I'm giving a speech, or talking to someone and improvising on the spot. and that's because I am. Well,um, yeah, back to it, I guess. This feels awkward but I am determined to help. So yeah, back to it...You see, my friends helped out (so did a speech pathologist), they were they, just like we are for you. Yes this is an online forum but i don't care because no one said you couldn't help people out without actually knowing them. Oh man this feel wierd. What I'm kinda trying to say is...that, um, we're here for you. Somehow you're gonna get through this and the people on this theater can be the ones to help you out. You've just gotta let us. Now I feel really weird saying this.......um. yeah.
So basically....you can share the load with us so you don't have to give up. and stuff. so yeah. You can do it.
(You will not believe how strange it feels saying this.....)

I've been on the forums long enough to know you, and you're a lot like me in a way Amy. You try to please everyone else but end up causing drama and hurting yourself. You let anger cloud your judgement.
My advice is, don't be like that. If you are feeling bad, tell someone. Don't get mad over some dumb reason. Just go with the flow; you won't regret it.

Wow, that's kind of it. I guess there is trueness to me being nice in that I really don't go out of my way to be mean to others. As much as I get upset I keep working to try not ruining others' fun which is often what hurts me as I want some fun too, and I do cause unnecessary drama because my frustration comes out in other ways. I'll give an example, I'm really upset by how certain RPs are doing, yet I'm not trying to disrupt or ruin them. Because they're doing so well. However, I'm losing interest in something I usually enjoy. I'm not sure what it is, but something in me keeps wanting to fight against the current, of course I guess that's my "I want to stand out and be more than what I am" thing. And, yes I am feeling bad. That reason made this thread, and as mentioned to keep this crap out of the shout box. |

(You will not believe how strange it feels saying this.....) Whole seperate post to respond to this, since I don't think auto-post merging exists here, it did on v3 I think. Thank you. My problems are minor compared to many others'. It may be one of those "it's all in your head things", well if it's all in my head maybe I'm brain damaged somehow (not physically, but mentally). |

My problems are minor compared to many others'. It may be one of those "it's all in your head things", well if it's all in my head maybe I'm brain damaged somehow (not physically, but mentally). Let's go with Maths instead of brain damage. If someone thinks that the problem is going to be really difficult or tricky, they the difficulty of the problem is increased tenfold. If we just convince ourselves it's easy or ask for help then the problem can be easily solved. What's really in your head is the MAGNITUDE of the problem, not the problem itself. |

Oh, that's new concept for me. I developed that from my math tutor and a book on neuroplasticity called 'The brain that changes itself'. The ideas kind of made sense. Especially with my homework, I thought it was hard, by thinking that I made it harder, and so I gave up on it....and then it was due the next day. Most of the time, that never ended well..... |

I see.
So, um, how can that be applied to my problems here?

I see. So, um, how can that be applied to my problems here? I betting that somewhere along the way from happy to completely depressed, you overestimated the problem. You got partially consumed by it and couldn't find a solution as if you were staring at..... say, 2x 2 + 10x + 12, were told to factorize it and didn't know what to do. Over time it became the problem became more and more difficult. So now we have to help you solve your problem. I'm going to mull over this whilst I eat breakfast and 3D model a mage......wait a sec. I may have something very soon! EDIT: Have you ever heard of the tool blender? It's a free 3D modelling tool. I'll have to contact burst but you can import models from blender into UDK, this could help on chaos fighters. If you haven't heard of it before.....you'd end up watching about 1000 youtube tutorials for various things. I'm only suggesting this since it's worth a shot. |

Nope.
Wow. Your assessment actually might be right. Though, I have more than 1 problem to deal with, I guess now that you bring it up, they have gotten bigger than should be.
