you need to drop this until you have sorted yourself out
You cannot discard your nature. If you mean that I must switch focus momentarily, then you are correct.
irrespective of HOW THE WORLD ACTUALLY IS what you think and feel about it will not change that one bit. The thing you can change (for your good not the worlds) is how you think and feel about it, then there is at least a chance that you will be somebody who can change the world for the better, rather than be nobody who uses how he sees the world as a means to stay the same. You will see this better once you are outside of this situation. Seek counselling.
A person can become a mirror of their environment, but that does not mean that it can be sustained.
I dispute this. I believe this is a choice, and that the choice to see it this way is causing you a lot of problems. I don't believe you were born like this. Even if you were, it's not written in stone. Seek counselling.
You dispute that my expression of love could be natural to me? Do you dispute the natural origins of sexuality or gender, such as homosexuality or transgenderism?
you seem to be unconditionally open. Again, this is a choice, and I don't believe you were born being like this. Even if you were it's not written in stone. I believe I said earlier that your fear of being gang raped may have been overexaggerated. In light of this I would like to revise that. You are leaving yourself wide open to "being gang-raped in a dark alley by a group of predators", not to mention drugs, being murdered, and any form of abuse anyone may like to inflict on you. People may even pretend to give you your every wish just to get you in a position where they could do one of the above to you. I've wanted to spell this out but held back, and I shouldn't of. Sorry about that. Seek counselling.
I have already stated that I am not indiscriminately trusting. I come across as very shy or cold to strangers.
Yes they would. They are a far better idea than spilling it all out here. You've done it here, do it in a support group. Print the thread. Take it with you. See what they say. Say there what you are saying here.
I'm not spilling myself here; it is simply an arena to learn how normal people approach these sorts of issues.
this is NOW irrelevant, until you are in a position to be able to deal with your past. Seek counselling.
I agree.
this may be so if you really get your act together. If you let things go as they are, counselling (or worse) will come first. Not disagreeing with the sentiment though. Get counselling.
Yes, but more depends on my success other than becoming homeless or not, now that it is necessary to ingratiate myself through completing the practical task.
this you need to see. You want to be "s" heart and soul 24/7. Never mind "s". Doing this with anything seems wrong. Seek counselling.
I'm very much D outside of my emotions, I have explained that I function much better when my energies are not drained by unclear relationships and such. Love isn't a game.
You would be frustrated at their lack of seeing it your way.
If I am an Aristotle, I must feel alone among the Athenians, if I am a Socrates, I must point out their lack of understanding, if I am a Nietzsche, I must tell them their real sins.
Children grow up quickly IMO. So I tell mine, forget x, just enjoy being y years old. So get sorted, get a job, seek counselling, and enjoy being 19. Then you can enjoy being 20,21,22... It works for any year.
But you forget that responsibility follows from ability. Do you know the burdens I carry? That which remains invisible to others weighs me down.
I would say this has nothing to do with Westen Europe, given all the places in the world to be born that must be near the top of the list? This is though an important issue colouring your life that may need addressing. Seek counselling.
I view myself to be a failure. It follows that such a relationship that I am functional in would allow me to drop some of the burdens that dig into my flesh.
You are not that, you chose to be that. You were not born that and even if you were it is not set in stone. Seek counselling.
I choose an honest appraisal of my being. A slave to love, a tyrant to others, an avowed worshiper of the universe.
Oh, but I have! Where do you think my self awareness stems from?
:) :) :) (plenty of people have it rough, the question is what do you do about it)
An additional question that must be asked is whether or not a remedy is available.
are they consistent with the opinions in this thread?
The opinions in this thread are of higher quality than you would receive on the street, but do not compare to to sage words of wisdom that my historical peers have conjured up from their hearts.
problem child, problem child, problem child, arrogant child. There is nothing funny here.
Oh, yes. Dreadfully bored of school, and never challenged. It was *all* my fault! I should have performed a transorbital lobotomy on myself to appease the others.
you are not in a position to judge the state of the world.
If I can see more than others, it could be that I have keener vision. Or maybe I'm using a fish-eye lens.
when you have experienced what is involved in a degree course you can comment
If comparison and logic are disallowed, then I suppose you cannot prove that anything anyone says is true. This is the path of the moral relativist, the result of refusing to accept your own failings and weaknesses, of refusing to acknowledge a natural hierarchy.
your situation is all too common and the solutions, however tailored to yourself, are clear.
Only on the surface. Even when the water is clear, it is obvious that everyone focuses on the reflection, and not what lies below.
forget them. The best you have is your interpretation of them. They cannot exposit? for you. You are a better expositor.
Some perceptions and observations are common among those who see the larger patterns, and have insight of the fundamental structures of reality, including humans.
yes you seem to prefer books
It is that the expressed words help to remind me that there have been others somewhat like myself.
Also, you repeatedly misspelt 'counseling'.
