View Full Version : I quit
So basically, i've come to the conclusion that i suck. And it kinda bothers me. So i quit. I'm just done.
I uh, i spose i wanted to say goodbye to everyone. Its been swell. Its a great site greg, you should be proud. And everyone's pretty cool. I learned a lot and had fun. Its been a great experience. But i guess i'm done... so i probably won't be around much. But thanks everyone, i enjoyed myself here.
oh...
and just cause i'm leaving and i feel like it... i'm gonna say a few things...
My name's Abigale... most people call me abby, not gale. I'm not 17, i never have been. I just turned 16 in october. I guess i was planning on being around for a while... so i picked 17 as my age... I've probably made up other stuff too... but i don't remember. Thats my real picture though, i didn't lie about that... but anyways yeah, i'm kinda a liar, but whatever... i've already said i suck, so whatcha gonna do..
It's been good. [:)] thanks all.

awh, why be so hard on yourself?
keep your head up! [:)]
Original quote from Gale...i've come to the conclusion that i suck.
What do you mean? Suck at what?
You seem to me to be so popular here, I can't imagine why you would even think of leaving.
Dont go, it wont be the same around here without you, cant imagine what it will be like, so dont go.
I will miss you. [*(]
*sniffle*
I need to tell you guys something, too. I'm not really 25. I'm really just a toddler. Sorry for leading you all on all this time. [*(]

ok... so much for that idea... i was just gonna say good bye to everyone more personally... but yeah... thats sorta sad.
I just, i suck, and its like "i think therefore i am" so just by thinking i suck, i suck. thats basically all there is to it.
I won't be leaving pf either... just probably not posting much. i posted so that i could learn things and change and grow... but yeah, i suck and thats inevitable... soo thats that.

...and just wanted to let you know that you're not going to be in any kind of trouble for your antics here at PF, so it's safe to hang around if it pleases you.
The rest of you people are going to jail !! [:))] [:D] [o)]
D'OH! i knew i shouldnt have said that!
Why do you think you suck? after reading your posts i cant understand how u came to that conclusion.

Suck at what? Your a very constructive member, and you haven't been insulting or posted any spam...a model citizen, IMO.
Well, I guess it's your choice, but I'll...sort of...like miss your posts [;)]...they put me in a good mood after having debated "nothing" or some other such dead topic.
well i dunno guys... i can't even explain why i suck. i just really feel like i do... and i feel like i've tried unsucking, and failed... and the dissapointment kills me. So instead of feeling really terrible, i just wanna accept it, and move on. I suck.
as far as leaving pf... i guess i don't have to... but its just like... i came here to change and learn and grow... and since i suck, and i accept that, and i don't feel like i need to change any more. so... i dunno i spose i felt i needn't post anymore... haha... i knew that i was sorta popular, or well liked at any rate... but i didn't think people would care too much if i left.

But you can still learn and grow, right? IOW, you may not be able to change your suckiness (if you're determined to believe that you suck), but you can still learn from us...or, them anyway [t)].
so... i dunno i spose i felt i needn't post anymore... haha... i knew that i was sorta popular, or well liked at any rate... but i didn't think people would care too much if i left.
Well, we've disproven that idea, at least [:)].
Hmm...Gale may be you are true...but just one thing I want to say....
Mind is very strange thing...you should always listen to your heart, that is not problem...what you are thinking we all respect that...but mind has also many colors with many forms....when you'll think that..."It's Ok!" again you can come back...the door of PF is always open for you! And of course we'll wait for you.....................

Abby, I think you are going through a little grey cloud at the moment.. it is actually very normal for people to feel depressed once in a while and it is not your fault, it is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Don't worry, it is not as serious as it sounds, [;)] [:))]
It is actually good that you speak out and let people know how you feel, been there done that :) Advice? Hard to say, just stay active and hangout with other people, socialize and the cloud should move over soon and you will feel your good old self again [:D]
woah wierd monique.... calling me abby... woo... still recovering from that... that was weird...
at any rate, i'm not depressed... i'm just really lost... like everyone said i was messed in various ways... so i tried changing and that didn't work. so not that i've decided to just live with it... what do i do?
ehh... i dunno... i like pf... i don't want to leave... but a few hours ago... it seemed like the best thing....

Gale, quiting PF won't cure or solve any of your problems, you will lose alot of open ears and people willing to help you through anything. Just take a step back, lay in a lawn chair and eat some chocolate [:)] Your strong gale and there isn't anything you can get through!

It will work for a longer bit next time.
And so on...
CHOCOLATE!
gah... ok do you realized i ate two huge brownies and 6 chocolate covered doughnuts thinking that chocolate would cure my problem?!?!? i ended up feeling sick the rest of the day....... ugh!
...either way... i feel all special since greg replied to my thread... heh.. ok.. i dunno... i'm queer...
but yeah hurkyl... thats what i was thinking, cause thats how its been working... but like the longer it works, the more it sucks when it stops working.... and thats so depressing...

I'm still a neophyte, so I'm assuming most will hold my comments with little esteem; however...
You'll grow out of it [:D].
The amplitude of these emotional oscillations reaches its peak in adolescence it would seem, so it will certainly get better with time. I speak generally, of course, and if you really do esteem yourself so low, perhaps speaking with someone would be in order? Having a low self-esteem is so detrimental to an intellect.
I do agree on the chocolate suggestion though.
Hormones must suck. Thank God all I have is nice, reliable, caustic, aggressiveness-inducing, lifespan-shortening testosterone.

Just like I said before: When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hold on tight.
It really works. Seriosly. Maybe after awhile of hanging on a knot, you can climb you rope again.
Besides. You're one

Even if you do leave PF, don't leave living behind also.

You might find this interesting Gale (Abby), but as of this writing, this post has the strange juxtaposition of being right above the masterbating post, so currently it is reading "I Quit Masterbating." [:)]
Of course my writing this may change that position, but I just thought it was amusing.
Hang in here.

Hell, i suck but i replace suckiness with cynicism (and probably bad spelling). There is always a replacement for your problems...or a feel-good factor, take it out on someone you hate!
You are [a)] and funny, and you rule the general discussion forum! and frankly thats what i mainly go on, cos i only visit other forums to ask questions...(cant answer anything [6)] )

well being a teenager aint so bad. I'm smart, popular, pretty... i've pretty much got it all... so, it aint SOOO terrible. But eh, i dunno...
And thanks artman... if i have nothing else... at least i can laugh because at one point... In a forum dedicated to physics and science and whatnot... The general discussion page read "I Quit... Masturbating" haha..
And actually Jimmy... first, hehe i'm on your buddylist... second i think another reason i'm sorta leaving is because i rule the general discussion forum... i don't make many constructive posts anymore... so eh, i kinda feel semi-guilty... but eh... thanks anyways... yall won't miss me too much i'm sure. And maybe once i straighten a few things out i'll be back... and maybe i'll get a new name... instead of Gale17 I'll be Abby16.... actually i hate the look of that... but everyone's calling me abby now... heh, ah well.
Thanks everyone

ok, I'm gonna supress "evil" ideas like suck on what, and did you break up with your bf because of the masterbating thread, etc.
I'm just gonna tell you at one point or another everybody realises they might actually suck. Some admit it, some accept it, some learn to live with it. Others like me learn to enjoy it. Garfield style.

Half the time you're saying you suck, and the other half you're saying things like the above. Wouldn't the two more/less balance each other out? You can't suck and have it all at the same time, so assume the latter is the more prevalent attribute and don't worry about short moments of suck.
hahahaha... hmm it would seem that way eh descartes? i think that ultimately my sucking comes from my awesomeness... or something... if i didn't have such a freaking perfect life, i'd be way happier, but meh, i can't help that i'm lucky. But i do suck, and so, yeah..
Oh, and monique...
Your so awesome, your like one of the best people on the board. I don't know what i'd ever do if you left pf! your so smart monique, and fun! and... and... STUFF... woo STUFF... we love you monique[6)] [:D] [;)]
and lucky you.... You don't suck! hooray~!
and... sonty, i suck stuff... heh.... and uh, no my bf and i are fine... he knows about my masturbating... heh.... and uh... i dunno... my sucking is ok sometimes, and i used to love it and think it was funny... but i guess i can only have people saying i suck so much before i kinda feel crummy about it. Actually, i guess i'm super duper insecure and so yeah... people saying i suck, sucks...
SO there ya have it. People think i suck. So it upset me. And not cause of what they think so much, cause they've always thought the same stuff and it never bothered me before... but cause i thought, what if its true? and i decided, yep it is true... so i stopped denying my suckness, and tried changing, but that failed, so now i'm uh... i dunno... But meh. I'm not depressed about it... just unsure about what to do about it.

I'm in a kind of different position. Everybody tells me how good I am in whatever I do and how they admire me for this and that. I realise though they have absolutely no idea how I manage to do the things I do. They are either just saying stuff, or simply don't see what is actually happening with me. There are a lot of situations in which I know how I should behave, and when they actually happen I react in a totally different way and it's usually in an at least socially distructive way. For example I noticed I'm fixing everybody's love life around me, but I can't manage my own. I can "feel" the theory but not the experiment.
In my country we have a saying: if two people say you're drunk, go to sleep. I say if you're drunk life is different than everyone else's so enjoy it. it probably will go away with time. and you may feel sorry you didn't ride the wave.
Monique, you can get that self critical if you're a perfectionist. You realise you're just a poor human being, made to be imperfect, but you can't help trying. It's a desease and some of us have it. And it only hits at a certain age. It probably hit me when I was about six playing a card game with my grandfather. I don't know how it's called in english, but it's a game where you have 4 cards on the table and 6 in your hand and in turn you can grab as many cards from the table if you have cards that sum up to the ones you're taking. So it was a math game my grandfather was playing with me to teach me basic maths and I was strugling to get very good at it as to beat him without him letting me win, which he alwais did. And I got so pissed off about it. And started playing against myself, trying to beat myself. And it went on from there.

Yeah, I agree with Monique. Being self-critical is more focusing on and dwelling on your own shortcomings. While perfectionism is all around "..this isn't good enough yet.." It is often with rigorous rejection of his or her work. The difference is basically that being self-critical is an analyzation of how you can be better and perfectionalism is their work has to be just right by obsession.

This place is great because you arent judged and people are willing to answer the most INANE questions lol.
On another note, MONIQUE THAT IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!...actually, where's the union jack? that has now delved into the realms of anti-cool cos there is no union jack....which brings me to another point Gale, you cant please everyone, but when it is yourself, you can get a more positive response from people. We wouldnt be trying to convince you to stay if we didnt like you!

Know thyself. Knowing the world starts with knowing yourself, right? Shouldn't it be the same with perfecting the world? I think an obsession starts when you think maybe the circle is not round enough or something. But how can you not feel bad when you're not satisfied with yourself? If you have any trace of egocentrism in you you will. You can "survive" other things not being "perfect", but yourself?

Its shows to me an unbalanced situation, which is pulled out of proportion. I mean, egocentrism is not really healthy and a rather asocial behaviour.
Does something perfect exist? In real life not really. It is all about balancing things, you work until your feeling of satisfaction reaches a certain level. A perfectionist sets a bar higher than the average person and will work longer on a certain project and pay more attention to details.
I once new a person whose perception of life was based on perfectionalism, which is where I get my statement from: egocentrism is not really healthy and a rather asocial behaviour.
I tried convincing the person of the extend of perfectionalism and the harm it was doing, which only led to a lot of hoopla where the point had to be proven to me, that perfectionalism is in fact the best thing in the world and that it leads to a perfect life.
Well, I didn't have to prove anything for myself, the observation was clear enough.

maybe trying to find the "perfect" balance?
what if the project in question is "ME"?

Well of course it doesn't lead to a perfect life. It doesn't even lead to a happy life. At least not under "normal" standards.
