Well, I truly hope you find what you are looking for out of all this.

Screwtape, what are you looking for, and do you actually expect to find it? What do you think will happen?

phanan said:


But if you don't, I also truly hope that you learn from this, and that it helps give you some guidance in the years to come.

I completely 100% agree. I am less than 100% on the reality of this happening, though. :|

You guys really do make me feel like a freak sometimes. You all made me feel like crap tonight. Sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere. Not even here in the superthread. I'm sorry I am the way I am. I'm sorry I come off the way I do. Maybe I am a terrible person. Maybe I am a selfish person. I'm just sorry about everything. :(

Are you Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower?

I'm sorry you feel like a freak, Screwtape, and I'm sorry you feel like crap and isolated. But again, genuinely trying to be helpful here: You come off, more than anything, stubborn and closed minded, to advice from others, learning from experience, seeing the error of your ways, looking at the world without prejudging it and the people in it. I think that might be the root of the problem, and it definitely goes hand in hand with selfishness.

Yes.


I honestly have (had?) hope for Screwtape, but it's nights like tonight that make me believe he's in a lot of trouble. There's nothing worse than being untouchable. He claims to value our opinions, but hasn't chosen to relate them to his situation, and has merely brushed them aside (or so it appears in this thread). Very hypocritical of him to say otherwise. I honestly want the best for you, Screwtape. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent my night talking this through with you and everyone else here.

I agree some people go overboard with you, but you can't take it personally - you don't even know us.

As I said, you are not a freak, and you aren't a terrible person. Yes, you can come across selfish at times with this subject, but really, we all act selfishly at one time or another when it comes to this stuff. Because it is something we want to believe, that we need to believe. And when it doesn't turn out the way you hope it does, you learn from it and move on. Plain and simple.

Good luck man.

I just want her to smile from what she reads. I want to know she is loved. That's all I want.

Cared for and loved are different thing. How well do you know her? How can you say you love her?

:sigh: there's no need to apologize to us. i certainly didn't try to make you feel like a freak or anything. you probably won't believe me, but i don't think you're a freak. a little misguided, but everyone is at some point in their lives. there's nothing wrong with that.

and i've felt like you, where i feel like i don't belong anywhere. but i consider you a friend and i know others do as well so at the very least that should tell you that you belong here.

I highly doubt she will smile, unless it is to laugh at (not with) you. It depends on whether the note comes off as creepy/possessive or just plain pathetic. I know these are harsh words, but (I really need a smiley for throwing my hands up in the air in defeat but I'll just use this one) :shrug:
 
Well, unlike most of you, I have to be up early for work, so I'm gone for the night.

And Axver, if and when you read this, give me an update on what you want to do with the Critic's Choice awards. Several people are now interested, so it looks like it could be worthwhile.

Later. :wave:

Or even care for her? It seems to me it is a crush that has become an infatuation. Crushes and infatuations are too shallow and distant to be genuine emotions like caring and love. A crush can develop into these things; infatuations cannot.

Not everyone is as callous, paranoid, and not-understanding as you.

Is it a coincidence that you're listening to that particular Foreigner song right now? :lmao:

:lol: it lists the song i last listened to, not what i'm currently listening to unfortunately. give it a couple minutes, you'll see what i'm listening to now :tongue:

I'm not going to tell her I love her because I honestly don't know plus that might make her a little sad. I'm going to tell her I care for her and would like to be friends.

That, to me, is perfectly acceptable then.

You all win. I won't tell her. I'll keep my mouth shut. :(

As long as you don't come off as expecting anything in return from her, I see no problem anymore.

You're as stubborn as he is now. Leave him be. He's committed to making a creepy stalker of himself, so, fuck it, let him. He's not capable of evolving, nor learning, he's told you this. So, fuck it.

I haven't reached the end of it, but so far this post is awesome.

We miss you NSW

This seems OK. But don't tell that to her through a note. You have to straight to her face.

I agree. I'd replace "have to" with "should".

If you'd said this from the beginning, I wouldn't have been such a dick about it.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I also should have cleaned up that sentence a bit. My grammar is terrible tonight.
