RE: the 'BOY WHAT A WEEK I'VE HAD ' thread ! for people that want to talk about how their weeks going !

Just a gentle suggestion; why not start a thread or group all about how wonderful your life is and get others to join in? This is hardly the place... not what the thread initiator intended and surely we can respect that, as we are all different?

RE: the 'BOY WHAT A WEEK I'VE HAD ' thread ! for people that want to talk about how their weeks going !

Yeah, actually what saddens me the most is how "normal" this kind of occurrance is in the modern world. And people just go about their business as if everything was fine. Then they tell you cheer up, the world is beautiful! The masses of life coaches out there who repeat the same things like parrots are driving me nuts! Seems you really need programming to become that way, hahah, maybe it's blissful as in some forms of deep psychosis...

I'm calm enough, the guy didn't really scare me as it wasn't that sort of situation, but it left me feeling really dull again. Maybe best stay away from posting because I don't feel any humour coming for a while...

It was funny
Hey sorry I didn't get back to you, thanks for writing all the same. Been a bit busy dealing with the worse part of humanity... hope you'll understand

RE: the 'BOY WHAT A WEEK I'VE HAD ' thread ! for people that want to talk about how their weeks going !

Many have to resort to their parents these days and many don't get along with them at all. Is it just being broke that lead you to this situation?

RE: the 'BOY WHAT A WEEK I'VE HAD ' thread ! for people that want to talk about how their weeks going !

Gilly; you had a terrible week. People are really screwed up right now. Societies are falling apart. It's freaking apocalyptic.

Money... well you do need to pay a little for basic health care but for instance if you were born before 1954 you get no dental health care. Which leads to the elderly losing their own teeth and getting infections that can be lethal. Also, you usually have to stand in line for quite a while in order to get to surgery. So if you have cash, sure that will speed things up and give you a good professional opinion. Doctors have given me very little to chew on.

Hello lintz, though your efforts are good this was not about thinking positive, which you get anyway from left and right these days. Not that it's wrong, but sometimes venting does help a little too. It occurred to me all of a sudden that I had quite the story to add to this thread. However, I appreciate that men don't often feel that way. Now in my particular case it's hard to think of anything positive since the messages cost very little within the country and I hardly talked to this guy on the phone. Deep inside I feel humiliated for having had to apologize to a hysterical 34 year old idiot who wanted to make babies with a 43 year old woman. No matter how you try to stay stoic, and believe me I had no fear of this guy; there's still the feeling of emptiness/disappointment/whatever because people think these things are so bloody NORMAL and very little can be done because the law is old fashioned, so he gets to continue abusing women for the rest of his life.

RE: hi all

Depends what you mean by corruption. But yes there's a lot going on behind the scenes. In a small country as mine it's not so bad yet but only time will tell where we're heading.

RE: the 'BOY WHAT A WEEK I'VE HAD ' thread ! for people that want to talk about how their weeks going !

Good for you, I admire your stamina! About the keyboard I mean.

I have heard that Sweden is really goind down now with corruption, the lack of a police force (nobody wants to go and beat the bad guys up anymore) and a social system that doesn't hold. Apparently England is getting really corrupted too. Is Finland next? We're supposed to be on top but are we really? Too much social injustice. Yes we have freedom of speech and in my opinion a decent police force. What kind of f*** world actually NEEDS that?!

We have a female president, dear. Tarja Halonen.

Your last question seems oddly phrased, what do you mean?

RE: For all photography lovers...

Lovely!

RE: Laura!

I think he had me in mind but I said I would pop some sleeping pills, however here's for Laura since you're a bit fed up with the chamomille bouquet::violin:
I'm not sure there's much more we can offer here at this side... Only

RE: Serious Question

Yeah but we aren't all alcoholics!!!

RE: ”What are you doing for living?”

You're more likely to make a fortune on seeking gold in the streams of Lapland... I would seriously advice you to reconsider... unless you like hugging trees of course! But that won't help you find a date I'm afraid...

RE: Serious Question

Trying, trying... The SUMMER is too short!! Everything has to fit into the summer... after that it's dead calm again, no wind in the sails... argh

RE: Serious Question

Actually it does me good to hear that because I was so put down today by that dude from Asia who adored me yesterday and said the most vile things about me today... restoring my self here

RE: Serious Question

Aaaaw.... case in point about the niceness here in our part of the world!

RE: Serious Question

Thank you! That's so kind of you (and Amaryllis)! Thought it'd look kind of summery. Letting the winds of change pass through and transform any old muggy residue that still lingers after the dreadful winter...

RE: Serious Question

Thanks hun! A bit serious but seems to be a serious day

RE: Serious Question

Thanks, just figured you weren't happy since I never got any reply... it's going fine now, I think I resolved some important issues and now I feel quite alright and have no more fear of being here.

RE: the 'BOY WHAT A WEEK I'VE HAD ' thread ! for people that want to talk about how their weeks going !

Hello Gilly! No more questions for me eh? The last comments I made were only meant to be funny, hope that was clear. Hope your studies are going fine. My studies of life are going fine I suppose. Good subject matter this one. I will contribute sometime when I'm not ready for bed. Can hardly type anymore... goodnight!

RE: Serious Question

Hi Amaryllis as you can see I've taken notice of what there was to learn and have you to thank for some of it. I'm sorry if my moments of crisis were disturbing.

RE: Serious Question

I do truly enjoy that there's genuine interaction here, very often a few people are around for a while to really get a discussion going, now THAT is so counter-egocentric if anything ever was! Yes I wish people would use less slang sometimes but then again, I can just avoid those threads... I have learned.

RE: Serious Question

Lol, well these talks about how to interact are always interesting and I'm now glad I came back to follow it all. It's true that fitting in is never guaranteed for anyone though some people have a harder time at it than others. Yet again others are more sensitive than others... Very true; mingling can be hard no matter where you are.

Sometimes you just have enough; you feel overwhelmed by the fact that you post and no one responds, you feel dark clouds gathering because people resent you, stuff just piles up that make you run for the hills...

BUT. Good news is that these are often old feelings revisited and there's an opportunity of maybe working out some old trauma you might have carried with you (since rejection is a trauma most of us have carried along). I have to admit that when I had my moment of complete and utter exhaustion some people here showed regret that I was no longer there. It's a long story and won't bore people with it but something just might have come into perspective during that crisis. So people have them; they are healthy. But someone who is in crisis on a constant basis and spilling out on the community is as shunned as they would be IRL.

I also find that people have been more welcoming and friendly than I'd expect from a forum. If they don't applaud you every day the accidental kind word makes up for it.

RE: Serious Question

Oh and at first I was sure I would be laughed at and was very sensitive, simply because I often post serious issues or am just a bit too intense when I feel silly. Apparently it's not as bad as I thought. So if anyone would be laughed at... it would be someone like me.

RE: Serious Question

I understand your point, sure those things happen sometimes. But if I felt laughed at every time I post I wouldn't be here. I'm sure it happens but all in all this has become a fairly safe environment to be in - with a few exceptions but it's the internet, after all...

Cultural differences

I like this though!

Cultural differences

Seems some of it had been done already but apparently I need to get stricter... goodbye any possible soulmate in the countries that are now blocked....
Besides, the guys that have contacted me have all been living here in Scandinavia. So only the age range will be truly helpful.

Cultural differences

If only my cases had been that easy! Now one was clear because of the rather rude screen name he used. But the others were impossible to really dechiffer. I told them I'm broke, old and ugly but they persisted... maybe they were serious however once they didn't get what they wanted they got nasty.

Cultural differences

I come across as a bit dumb now but I actually didn't realize you could do that on this site. I suppose that would be best, as it's unnecessarily stressful to try and figure out who is a good guy and who is not, especially if you KNOW the cultural conditioning will be strong in the majority of the cases. Thanks.

Cultural differences

I suppose you could put it that way... trouble is, it's usually disguised as "individuality and freedom". Why else would we have such a narcissistic society... one in which there are soon more singles than couples!

RE: Serious Question

It takes all kinds. The bad thing about this sort of site is that we can never know the background facts about people who post. Usually knowing them a bit more does help to forget and forgive, or simply understand.
