Confession Booth

[Glanza-V]

And we should kinda get back on topic too.

 

[nk4e]

Right now, I can't really sleep. Recently, I had a good life. I have been less motivated, content with the things I have, I never argued with anyone but when it comes with topics concerning my relationship with my blood father. I stagger. I don't want to feel depressed or down from him. I want to get on with my life..I have spent countless days not worry about it but my older brother wants me to worry about him because he is my dad. IF I have confused anyone..I will explain it even more just PM me.

 

[Duke]

I don't need to know the details, but I will say this: a relationship is far more than blood. Kinship does make a connection, but if your father is not there for you personally and never has been, you are under no obligation to be there for him. After all, he created you, not vice versa. When you create a child, you assign yourself a role as a parent. If you don't try to live up to that role, then the child does not need to consider you their parent.

Some people/cultures place extreme emphasis on family, but that is only valid when it creates a mutually supportive unit that is cooperative for all. If your father has harmed you (or even just failed to be a parent other than biologically) you do not need to feel any guilt for wishing to move on with your life and do something more constructive.

If you want to talk privately, feel free to PM me.

 

[Casio]

Yeah, I don't talk to my mother at all and only my father once every 3-4 months. People who say "blood is thicker than water" and "you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family", live in magical universe. Some families just blow.

 

[ExigeEvan]

I'm alot closer to many of my friends families than I am to much of my own family beyond those immediate.

But as an opposing view to those above, and being from a relatively (by contemporary standards) large family, blood is pretty damn thick, but it's not steel cable holding you together.

 

[G.T]

Guess I'm kinda lucky that my parents are okay. But sometimes over the past few years I suddenly become hasty to get angry with my Dad with some of the things he does or says. Thankfully I've never expressed it.



While I'm in here, I guess I have something to confess. Kinda.

I met this friend about 2 years ago at the start of college, and he and I started to get along very well because we had similar interests - playing games, sharing subject interests at college, talking a bit about cars etc. But then I started to realise that my friendship is different with him than any other person I've ever met, even my parents - it's as if I have a bond with him and want to talk to him all the time, meet him all the time... it's as if I'm attracted to him. I talk to him every day, and we have drank together on several occasions and shared very personal secrets we've only told 1 or 2 people in our lives. I'm not gay, and not physically attracted to him as such (but I am jealous of his upper body) but it's as if I like him as much as a girlfriend.

It's really hard to explain really. He does like me back, just he doesn't show enough back to me in my mind so sometimes he gets a bit overwhelmed... I have argued with him occasionally and he back to me - then we don't speak for days. Then everything is fine again. I guess it might be to do with me not having any proper friends before because I was homeschooled, but I'm not so sure because I have lots of other friends from college too who show respect to me nearly as much as he does. Recently his girlfriend has noticed my attachment and has had a word with me about it - I guess then I realised that I need to stop what I'm doing. It's all so confusing sometimes because she goes overboard too because she's quite selfish... he knows that too.

Just sometimes I wonder whether this attachment to a friend is normal when I'm not gay. He moved away to uni a week ago, so it helps quite a bit to unattach myself now even though I still talk with him every day.

Hope this kinda makes sense. Very hard to put into words; long story cut short.

 

[exigeracer]

My brother and I went to a toy store to buy Hungry Hungry Hippos, but they didn't have it. Instead, we returned home with thousands of dollars worth of replacement Monopoly money. Our friends play together, so we decided that we deserved a little extra edge. We were about 18 or 19 when this was happening.

I hardly talk to my father because I really can't, I think that he hasn't shown interest in my life but only to improve it. My mom works far too much for her age and she has shown me that education pays off. My dad, just worked that's it. He always told me that he regrets doing things or how it was back in the Philippines....He would always put me down even around my friends deeply. Like one time, he was too worried about how I am going to make it in life if I can't do a certain task right. It was always like that, he was always negative towards me and I am exhausted on receiving that feeling. Sorry for the rambling..

ummm..ummm... I told my friend to handcuff a DDR player to the machine and my friend actually did it to another DDR player.

 

[Rykon Zero]

I've named my computer Maria.

I once wanted to buy this yoyo off of my friend but he was selling it at a very expensive price. so i ended up stealing it.

 

[Danny]

You once told me you didn't have that many friends, so maybe you're one of the people who gets attatched to less people, but with a stronger attatchment...?

It's not really that unusual, I'm the same with a couple of people.

I hope they make this into a Hollywood movie!

Yeah I guess not being at school I didn't know that many people anyway. And yeah, I'm quite picky otherwise.

...and all your 800 friends on FB

 

[G.T]

...and all your 800 friends on FB

Haha that's what I thought too.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

...and all your 800 friends on FB

EIGHT HUNDRED!!!!!!! I only have 200.

 

[Stevisiov]

I'm sure I have closing 400 mutual aquaintainces on facebook, I would be hesitant to call most of them friends though.

 

[Lucas]

Confession: Around 20 of my friends in Facebook come from a game called Crazy Planets. I don't even know who these guys are, I just want to make some progress in the game.

Don't worry guys, I'm not as naive (nor as idiot like those who say this) to fall for a pedo trap. 👍

You should see my XBL friend's list. 75 people have added me for no apparent reason and I don't even play with them again. But probably a good 2-5 people during a week I get to play with.

 

[Glanza-V]

I've got 600 or so on bebo.

 

[nk4e]

I stopped throwing up gang signs or acting like a gangsta because I knew how serious some people can be around it. This was around age 13, probably the average some other kids were into gangs.

 

[Lucas]

I've never been into a gang, never will. I think it's stupid. (No offense intented for those that have gangs). I never saw a point to them, other than... oh, yeah, doing stupid things that are usually looked down upon.

EDIT:

I feel I'm one of the few truly objective persons in the GT5 subforum, along with other members I think are awesome, though the rest of the members there don't think the same I do.

 

[VEXD]

Mayfair are Good For Jo.., Baha, I wouldn't know what their like... Does anyone know where these are from, my mate bought them off a mate of a mate who was selling sleeves.

They're from James' house.

Duh.

👍

Oh and G.T., don't worry about it, it's perfectly normal to have a same sex friend who you love in a kind of way that is reserved for them and maybe one or two others in your life. It doesn't make you gay. Even if you're jealous of their torso.
Dying your hair several colours, wearing very tight t-shirts over your pot-belly and nipple rings to accentuate them, and fantasizing over pages of "Attitude" however, does.

I just got braces, which has destroyed my social confidence and any potential sex-life (however minor) I would have experienced in my early years of university. I wish I could count down the days already but, as with most things dental, there is not a very precise date.

How so, If I got braces my potential Sex-Life should actually increase as my teeth are just crap. I honestly dont see how you lose girls or whatever just because you have braces.

 

[Rykon Zero]

I've got braces and I get along perfectly fine.

 

[Turbo Lag]

At least I'm glad I'll be getting them next year probably.


My confession for today: Today at school we had a fairly casual science test, and almost everyone in the class including me of course, shared answers during the test.

 

[Paulie]

I have never once considered braces un-attractive in a girl, why should they find it un-attractive in us? Or are they all stuck-up tarts?

 

[GT Pro]

Or are they all stuck-up tarts?

Very close to that reason, at our school anyway. They are more so when young, and don't oust themselves from that state until mid-20s.

At least I'm glad I'll be getting them next year probably.

Gotta' love casual teachers, especially when they are the 'emergency' type. One of our maths SACs was like that, and despite how hard I tried not to, I could not get away from everybody inundating me with requests for how to do things and/or the answers themselves...

EDIT: Whoops, double-post.

 

[Legendary]

I should be getting braces next year too hopefully.

My confession is that I stole a chocolate from the fridge this morning to eat on my walk to the bus stop .
