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 going to 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 what are you going to do..

It's been good. :smile: thanks all.

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 won't be the same around here without you, can't imagine what it will be like, so don't 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.

- Warren
 
if this site is so cool then why are you leaving, and what do you mean by I suck?
 
What is dduardo going to do without you?
 
Don't go...I don't like leaving...:frown:

ok... so much for that idea... i was just going to say good bye to everyone more personally... but yeah... that's sort of sad.

I just, i suck, and its like "i think therefore i am" so just by thinking i suck, i suck. that's 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 that's inevitable... soo that's that.

Abigale, I'm actually working undercover...

...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'OH! i knew i shouldn't have said that!

Why do you think you suck? after reading your posts i can't 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 :wink:...they put me in a good mood after having debated "nothing" or some other such dead topic.

well i don't know 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 want to 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 don't know i spose i felt i needn't post anymore... haha... i knew that i was sort of 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 .

so... i don't know i spose i felt i needn't post anymore... haha... i knew that i was sort of 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 :smile:.
 
  • #16
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, :wink:

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

woah weird monique... calling me abby... woo... still recovering from that... that was weird...

ehh... i dunno... i like pf... i don't want to leave... but a few hours ago... it seemed like the best thing...

Yeah, I know it is a big word :) There is a good Dutch word for it but I don't know the English equivalent :(

Is it a 'dip'? :)

Gale, quiting PF won't cure or solve any of your problems, you will lose a lot 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 :smile: Your strong gale and there isn't anything you can get through!

so i tried changing and that didn't work.

It worked for a bit.

It will work for a longer bit next time.

And so on...
 
  • #23
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... that's what i was thinking, cause that's how its been working... but like the longer it works, the more it sucks when it stops working... and that's 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 .

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.

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
of the things that I find makes PF worth coming too. If you leave, you'll take a chunk out of PF with you.:smile: :wink:

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

Yah, mentat can tell you ALL about THAT rofl (JK MENTAT-I haven't brought that up in a while;)


I'll repost this from philosophy:

OK Abby(I can call you that now:smile: you mean people suck, nice ones..errr..nm

Point is, you take the good, and take the bad

You take them both and there you have- the facts of life.

stop being such a drama queen and start another one of your famous "sex" posts

Everyone sucks at something...the only stupid question, is the one you don't ask. You're not going anywhere.. *in best "chef" voice* you just need some down home PF LOVIN

relax and hang around- you may find something that interests you once in a while.

I got two weeks left as a teenager. Will the voices stop talking to me after that?

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." :smile:

Of course my writing this may change that position, but I just thought it was amusing.

Hang in here.

...You can't quit, i just added you to my buddy list! and who else am i going to bug to be on their signature? think of ME! lol. Nah Gale, you are the (wo)man! 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 and funny, and you rule the general discussion forum! and frankly that's what i mainly go on, cos i only visit other forums to ask questions...(cant answer anything )


All in favour of Gale staying, be subscribed to this forum...well that is everyone then! You have to stay

No. Now they'll just start telling you how close to death you are.

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 sort of 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 going to supress "evil" ideas like suck on what, and did you break up with your bf because of the masterbating thread, etc.
I'm just going to tell you at one point or another everybody realizes 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.

I never did, the feeling sucks though, but how can someone be so self critical and come to such a conclusion?

Bah, if you were quitting I'm sure people would be just as upset. :wink:

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.
 
  • #46
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 :wink:
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 you 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 just don't understand your complaint. It seems you are an awesome sucker, and may have been born so, more than that I don’t understand.

ya like... your great and stuff... and the awsomest ever.

I wouldn't feel to bad about not contributing much to the "serious" forums. I'll bet over half my posts are in general disscussion.

Which means that I like... have bazillion posts... Awsome!
