This annoys me.

I hate when I'll tell a joke and nobody will laugh yet another person could tell the same exact joke and everyone will laugh hysterically like that person is a comedic god. This happened to me today and its not the first time either. I also hate when I'll come up with an idea and everyone will ignore then someone else will....well you get the picture. Does this happen to anyone else a lot? People are such Sheeple, they only want to hear things whenever Johnny Golden Boy says it. I'm so bitter, I hate the Johnny Golden Boys of the world and I hate Sheeple.

ohhh. u poor thing. i sort of know what u mean. u just have to not care. 'cuase such things are ur very own ideas. if they can't listen to u and care then they aren't worthy to listen to u at all.

It may just come down to your delivery of the joke. I can relate, but know that I can not tell a joke to save myself, so I leave it to the real comedians of the world.

As for your ideas and being ignored. I guess maybe it could have something to do with your self confidence or (once again) the way you communicate the idea to others. Instead of being bitter, look at the way people perceive you and then, if you are not happy, look at ways of improving yourself so their perception changes.

"Change starts with saying me!"

You know what you guys are right! Life's too short to be angry all of the time. As long as I have some good pills that make me relax I should be fine!

LOL..I hear ya!

Interesting that you should say that Romeclone, isn't the world full of sheep? And those typical stereotypes are the types that those 'sheep' follow cos they want to be like that person, because they don't have an original bone in their body. I think that some people have the popularity knack. I, for one, don't. I have decided to just be myself and if people like me, then hey, aren't i 'lucky'?! If they don't, then hey, *blows a rasberry, oh well. Have you ever stopped to think how sincere the 'liking' for those 'popular' people is anyway? I think half the time it's all a wank. Think about the many social functions you go to, family, etc... or when someone has a baby. Everyone sends a gift and a really 'nice' card, but as soon as that person is not in the room any longer, they all backstab him/her. Human interaction is so pretentious and superficial, so don't worry if nobody laughs at your jokes, just have a laugh at them and how superficial they are.

I also dislike when someone won't be your 'friend' because you are not part of the 'cool' group, when you know for a fact they liked you before they knew you were not part of an 'in' crowd. That sh--ts me. It's like, "can't you think for yourself? Can't you be without your little fanclub?".

We can all have the type of friends you are talking about, all it takes is the 'right' clothing or the 'right' car, but who wants that? People who are sheep end up living a begign and unadventerous life.

Wow Libragirl you summed that up perfectly! I could not have said it any better. The situation I am talking about is exactly how you described in the first paragraph. Whenever this particular guy that I am talking about (he's a Sag btw) is not around they are always gossiping about him and how annoying he can be, but whenever he is around they kiss his ass like he has some kind of power over them. I just don't get it!

And I know what you mean about those types of people that won't be your 'friend' because your not of a certain group or class or whatever. And the people who will be your 'friend' but when their little 'group' is around they pretend like they don't even know you. In fact, I'll admit I have been guilty of this myself but I try my best not to be, I guess we are all human and mistakes can happen to the best of us. LOL I almost feel like I'm talking about high school, but in reality certain groupings and social classes continue into adulthood. Some things NEVER change!

Yes...that's right.

I advocate complete social withdrawal. No no...it's healthier than you think...you can discover amazing things about yourself, when by yourself. I'm an only child, so it wasn't that difficult for me to begin with. But, it takes time, effort and energy to metaphorically slam the door on all the ass holes and idiots in your life. They'll keep calling, you'll keep avoiding...soon you will be more used to not talking to people, than talking to people. It will feel strange and absurd when you do. Because then you'll remember why you stopped talking to people altogether.

lol...I'm only HALF joking about all of the above.

My motto: I don't need any extra bullbutter in my life...it presents enough all on its own. Blood is thicker than water, etc. etc. 🙂

My main point was just going to be "I know how you feel, romeclone"...and then look what happened. lol....

Can't say I have any of those types of friends described by Libragirl. I never really had friends like that, so I consider myself very lucky indeed.

Find friends that are worthy of you, but remember, you have to treat them as you yourself wish to be treated. Maybe easier said than done, b/c most of the time, you can't 'know' how a person truly is until after a period of time. So go on intuition and life experience. Avoid patterns of behaviour that will keep you going in circles. Don't waste precious time on ppl that don't want genuine friendship.

LOL Phoenix...Im glad that you were only HALF joking. Being a Gemini I don't think I could go through complete social withdrawal. And thank you so much for understanding!

Lawgoddess, was that meant for me or Libragirl or both? LOL I will respond anyway. I feel like the group of friends I have now are a good group, I pick wisely 🙂 You know sometimes even though they are your best friends in the world, you'll still get frustrated with them at times, kind of like family. I think they are good people, and I could always make some different friends but I am kind of shy around new people, I'm not the kind to go up and chat with a total stranger. lol

Nup, just a comment directed to the whole world...lol..no specifics.

"I also hate when I'll come up with an idea and everyone will ignore then someone else will....well you get the picture. Does this happen to anyone else a lot?"

Hey.. stuff like that really happens to me all the time kiddo..i think it's because i'm just not really a forceful person or a forceful presence.. but i don't really want to be forceful.. I just wantto.. be.. 'think it's cool to be heard without being over the top.. I really dig it.. the whole world should just be easy going and LAID back.. I hate to be cliche-ish, but all work speaks for itself kiddo..
well..keep doing your thing.. i wouldn't get worked up over it.. money talks and bullb*tter walks.. you know the saying.. right? 😉

romeclone..hope you don't mind the pet name.. 🙂 no pun intended.. hehe.. live long 'n..

PS.. I get it.. just picked one side to answer..

ROMEclone go to the cap and read the meaning of life then tell me if you got a laugh?

Thanks for understanding Jaya! I'll keep doin my thing, whatever that may be. Yeah of course I know that saying, I use that one on a daily basis! lol Btw why did you capitalize "laid"? lol

Actually James, I think I actually found it more depressing than funny. lol

O.K. so sorry,

romeclone.. are you insinuating something hmm..
hehehe.. hey only if it's needed..😉
jj.

Yes, i am contemplating 'complete social withdrawal' and i am not half joking about it, infact, i prefer to not associate with too many people as it just ends up causing too many problems. You are born alone, you die alone, and if you can find a few people to enjoy the bits in the middle with, then great. Don't mean to sound so depressing with the born and die bit, but you know...

Lawgoddess, now more than ever i do not believe in giving people second chances as they will only make the same mistakes again. As soon as somebody disrespects me i am outta there. I dunno, i am over it, and i have decided the girl i was referring to in my last post on this topic, i will not waste my time on anymore. I have tried to be 'nice' to her for 1.5 years and i am over it. I thought there might have been some 'hope' for a friendship, but something inside of me has switched off, i no longer feel the same about her. She is a nasty, small minded, and arrogant person, and i do not want her in my life!

Life is all about me and as long as i am provided for, i can pretty much entertain myself. If somebody 'interesting' comes along, i will give them a try. 'Try before you buy' is my motto. I just cannot subordinate to the usual crap people put you through. I need to post a message on the Aquarius board.

Seeya,

Martine.

Fully subscribe to the 'try before you buy' motto 100% .

I can tolerate a little disrespect every now and then but my issue lies with betrayal and loyalty. Once someone betrays me, in whatever way, I am outta there and I never look back.

I can relate to the social withdrawal thing too. And also for looking about for number one. How many of us almost always place others before ourselves without thanx or even a bit of recognition. It's not like you always ned those things but it would be nice to be recognised by anyone that you have in fact sacrificed for the sake of others. (and not meaning in relating to kids). I can't even remember the last time I spent any money on myself, bought new clothes, or even new underwear..sheesh. I haven't had a hair cut in years (I trim myself) and feel guilty buying myself deodorant when money is tight. A bit of ME time is needed here too! Nothing wrong with that philosophy as long as no one else is harmed in the process.

P.s. Contrary to how this post reads, I do not smell, I do not appear as a homeless person when out and I always wear my hair up so they can't see how crappy I job I do..lol.

But you have great beauty, in my eyes those of us who put the ones we lov first are the ones with great beauty.

so true.. so true! beautifully said jimmie! 🙂

ok ok..what's everyone upto??
heads to the ground, huh?

It's going okay. The guy that I was talking about in this post is trying to set me up with 2 virgins, so I guess he can't be all that bad. lol

um..

ok..something new..i've just seen the most gruesome stuff on some site that posts really morbid pictures.. I couldn't look at them any longer, closed the site and ran for the hills..

lemme guess...rotten.com?

It's (Rotten.com) disgusting; it can scar you for life 😉

Yes it is. There was one image on there that almost had me puking (literally), and I don't get grossed out easily at all.

I don't want to start a new topic over this so, cansomeone answer me this? I was born in 1980, so what generation does that make me? I think I might be too late to be a Gen-Xer, if I am, what is the generation after that one called?

Generation Y.. haha...lol
