When people don't respond to your posts or PMs within 30 seconds, it's because they hate you. When the board is dead, it's because nobody wants to talk to you. When someone cuts you off in traffic, they did it on purpose, just to piss you off. People call your cellphone just to eke out that little bit of extra annoyance you get from being startled by the ringtone. When people don't answer YOUR calls, it's because they're tired of you.
The mailman is in on it, too. But you knew that.
When someone ahead of you doesn't accelerate fast enough for you when the light turns green, it's because they're trying to make sure you get stuck at the intersection for another red light. If your SO is being quiet, it's because he/she is mad at you. Don't get him/her talking though, because the next thing he/she says will be "Let's just be friends".
And whether you can hear it or not, the universe is laughing behind your back.

That seems reasonable.
When people don't answer your PMs, it's because they were offended, or didn't really want to hear from you in the first place. When nobody comments on you Fecebook, it's because they all think you're going nuts, and also because you're going overboard with trying to spread ideas. When bullshit gets in the way of plans and your friends have to cancel, they were actually glad to have whatever crisis so they don't have to hang out with you.

I think in this case its a matter of volume.
If you silently pee on the wall of the urinal instead of the water, the guys peeing next to you will think you're less of a man. If you can't find a kitchen utensil, it's because your SO put it somewhere else just to fuck with you. You've made an acquaintance visibly angry—they're probably going to shank you in the stairwell. They only invited you to the party so they would have someone to make fun of.

You're a towering stack of negativity and despair. You should stay away from nice happy people so you don't bring them down.
If someone compliments you on the way you look, it's because you're fat and they're trying to make you feel better.
You are a rather dull person who is very good at pretending to be smart and interesting.
Your Internet use is making you increasingly out of touch with reality.
One day you're going to be alone, and not the little loneliness that you experience a little each day, this one will be big and cold and neverending like an overcast sky.
Nothing is going to be OK. Ever again. You had a good run, but it's over now. Your SO thinks you're high-maintenance and ordinary. Anything you can think of to do is just spinning your wheels, because it's all coming down, now, and there's nothing you can do about it.
You know, this entire thread would make an excellent group troll. Dozens of posters, adding to a thread of despair that brings down everyone who reads it because deep down, they know it's right.

Rog, this makes me feel bad you've called me so often and I've missed it due to asstardery of a busy life where I can't even pee I'm so out of free time anymore. I can't fuck around on the internet on my job hardly at all, either.

You're a drama queen who seeks more drama. OR, so self-important that you think you're above everyone's problems.
You have a perfect life because you married a doctor.

Wanting to do something on your own means you're being a selfish prick.

Also:

And sorry, EVERYONE has shitty days. I do have to say, when attacked outright, I'm more apt to think I'm AWESOMESAUCE SUPREMO than any of the above...but when kicked and kicked by Life In GeneralTM, yeah, I can sometimes succumb to the dumb.

You disguised your voice and called my work number for tarot readings at least three times today, didn't you?
If not, the universe is not only laughing behind our backs, it's fucking with us big time because all my clients are saying pretty much what you just said.
Accepting help means you're a freeloader. You should be shot to death in the face.
You lost your shit a long time ago, and as soon as everyone figures that out, they'll all leave you. Forever.
You shouldn't bother tying to add to the conversation. You're only adding noise, not content.
You're friends find you interesting, sure, but it's in the same way they find Batman or Godzilla interesting- a fun novelty, but they don't actually think you're REAL.
None of your friends can be trusted, the moment you show any kind of weakness they will attack and tear you apart.
There are only two reasons for people to be nice to you: 1 they feel sorry for you. 2 they have absolutely no selfesteem and think your worthless ass is at their level when you know that they are way too awesome to feel that way.
The only women who will think you make a good boyfriend are those that already are in a relationship. AKA no one you are in love with will ever love you back.
(shit, this one made me cry)
Your novelty will wear off. Always. With everyone, no matter how shiny and new and wonderful they seem to think you are.
All of your anti-authoritarian freedom stuff is so cute. Eventually you'll realize that you were really just rebelling against your quiet, orderly upbringing (hell, against your quiet, orderly nature). After all, if it was so smart and logical, wouldn't more people be doing it?
Your Christian girlfriend won't stay moderate, you know. As soon as you walk down the aisle and seal the deal, get ready for the Bible thumping. After all, her dad's like that, so why not her? Besides, she's far too normal for you. You could do better. She could do better.
You aren't learning nearly enough things in College, despite your straight As. The reson why it seems so easy is because it's a farce: when you walk into the manager's office and hand them your resume you'll be laughed out of the building because you didn't go to a real school.
When you weighed all the religious faiths and doctrines and decided the idea of God was improbable, you guessed wrong. The Christian God exists, the Old Testament was a documentary, and your little thoughtcrime just set you up for a very very long time being tortured. After all, could 2 billion people be wrong?
Why do you insist on making things so difficult for yourself? Why do you always have to take the hard way? Nothing you ever do in this life will matter, and ignorance most certainly is bliss. Why did you take that away from yourself? The Horror's going to be there whether you like or not, so why the fuck did you have to open your eyes and see it? It's not going to make a difference! Are you trying to make yourself suicidally depressed? WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST BE NORMAL?
Fuck, this is depressing.

Try rereading these as though Winston Churchill is singing them through an auto-tuner. (http://www.youtube.com/schmoyoho#p/u/42/lW6jW9y59JY)
You really have been nothing but a string of disappointments for several years now. You never were as good as people thought your were, and it's finally starting to show.
You aren't actually smart enough to do what you want to do with your life. Settle for something more within your intellectual capacity. Even though doing that will make you yet more of a disappointment. Sucker.
Your friendships are held together with nothing more than desperation and scotch tape. The good times are just lulls in between the arguments and drama; they only put up with you anymore because they feel bad for you. Soon, their patience will wear thin.
The only friends you'll keep are the ones you hold at a distance. The ones you allow to get too close will see the hollow fake you've always been, and they'll slowly back away and try to make their escape.
You have only ever been a source of frustration and hurt for the ones who've loved you.
^ This.
You have nothing worthwhile to say and you're not funny, so you shouldn't talk anymore.
You've set yourself up with a facade and you can't live up to it. You should accept the mass disappointment that will inevitably come with you drop the facade, drop out of school, and become a retail zombie.
You'll never get another job because you're worthless. Alternately, a retail zombie is all you'll ever be.

nope, you're not. I'm awesome every. fucking. day. I didn't start out this way. I had to chisel away the hard, bitter shell of my teens and early 20's to find the boiling hot lava core of confidence and hard core "fuck yeah" that I wake up to every day.
That, and a healthy dose of Ataraxia combined with excellent problem solving and crisis management skills mean I don't worry about shit and find golden apples EVERYWHERE!
You have business reproducing and spreading your fail genes around. Not that it matters because every decently attractive women you have ever dated has been a horrible person with a twisted and self-centered view of the world. You are so smart but too fucking lazy to ever amount to anything. The only reason you are kept in the S4 is because no one wants you taking up space in their supply room. Your lack of a life is extremely boring and that is why you are going to live and die alone.
your boss thinks you're incompetent or at the least, that the "skill" you were hired for is a bad fit but since you were hired by HIS boss, he wont fire you, but will subtly attempt to get you to fuck up a $150,000 project in order to prove that the company doesn't need to be doing 3d CAD and should stick to doing 2d and outsourcing it's metal work.
and really, if all he's got left after I make his mechanical and structural design ability moot is 2d cad skills and very little experience in electrical systems, then he's replaceable for a much cheaper employee.
there, I was honest. None of that is true in the least, except that he has voiced that he doesn't think we should be doing our own in house sheet metal design using the 3d program that I love, which would devastate me because I fucking love doing it.
my only insecurities are related to my hobby I was able to turn into my profession and the potential of loosing that as a way to support myself.
everything else is awesome.

But Nurse Enabler said that if I even THINK about hitting the admin button and doing a little editing of my own, then she'd edit my face with the belt sander.
She says I need to work on my temper.
Oh thank the gods and Nurse Enabler.
Mr. Language just told me that I have a "sanguine nature". AHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHA
AHHAHA
<choke>

Jesus, you guys are depressing.
Am I the ONLY motherfucker here who has utterly unshakable self-confidence?
I dunno, I
used to.Back in the days when I believed everybody is different from me because everybody is different from everybody else. Makes sense, no? Until you find out you're actually
more different and most of you bunch of weirdos are in fact more alike in the ways you almost effortlessly behave in exactly the same ways you'd expect one another to behave. While myself, I have to pay careful and conscious attention, cheat and copy people's style in order to hide the fact that apparently the expected behaviour doesn't come automatically or naturally. Didn't know, thought this was everybody's problem, right up until it started failing, because boy, it turns out it's not actually humanly (?) possible to keep that up all the time, not when you immerse yourself in a busy social environment. It burns you up, but if I'd drop the act, you'll make me pay dearly.
Some people on this board
say they're wearing a mask, and have to "act" like the "other normals" to not be found out, but I don't quite believe it. Not when I see them when confronted by another whose mask doesn't always work, asking honest questions, how scared and angry they get when they see what's beneath is not quite what they expected, is not quite what they know and believe is behind everybody else's face, or is it?
But never mind that, I'll figure it out again some day, put on my happy shiny indestructible mask, and tell you the above was nonsense from a weaker, depressed version of myself :lol: (I'm not depressed, don't let me fool you, hah!).
I dunno if it's a specific train of thought, but sometimes when I'm in meetings I have this weird thing where I simultaneously thing I'm the smartest guy in the room while also being nervous about appearing like the greenest guy in the room. Doesn't really make any damned sense.
You're worthless. The only reason you got through high school is that the staff wanted you out of their hair. You're just another product of a failing education system. You'll never be able to find a job, because you don't have the skills or attitude that employers want. If you finally do, it'll be because you finally broke down and lost your integrity. Whatever that means.
Your friends don't like you. The only reason they associate with you is that they're desperate and alone, just like you are, and nobody else wants anything to do with them. You know this because happy successful people, people with futures, don't want anything to do with you. This is why they never reply when you ask if they want to do anything. When they do finally reply, and explain that they're too busy, they're just lying to be polite. What they really mean to say is of course not, why would anyone not reject a little subhuman creep like you? Really, you're no better than Dakota, the pedophile/stalker with a small army of thirteen-year-old psychologically-damaged camwhores at his command.
You pretend that you're not a hipster, but really you're the biggest hipster of them all. Ordinary hipsters are too hip to be cool; you're too hip to come out of your house. You're just that much of a smug, self-important, arrogant snob.
All of your complaints are petty. This is because you're weak and you're an attention whore. All of this talk about psychological issues is bullshit. If only you'd just try a bit harder, you'd be fine, but you're too fucking lazy to bother. All those other times you made an effort don't count.

BUT YOUR CRYING ON THE INSIDE!!!
crying that i put up with you people :cry:
HAH!
I may not love myself, but i sure do love you all.
I was going to post ITT about these thoughts that run through my head...but I'd be at it all day. I dunno what it's like for you people but these kind of thoughts have and can consume my whole thought-process endlessly. I'm just getting free of that kind of thing and do not see any reason to indulge venomous, self-defeating, soul-sucking thoughts as these for an instant.
THEY SHOULD BE CRUSHED BENEATH THE BOOTHEELS OF OUR AWESOME LIKE THE VERMIN THEY ARE.
Though I can understand the desire to air them out as well.
It's just not for me.
YEAH ALTY! KILL THEM BASTARD THOUGHTS! :argh!:
For me though, airing them out draws the poison away from them.
Reading this is both helping me pin down what is -not- going on in my head and making it harder to pin down what is going on in there.
'I'm good enough for myself and what my expectations, but I'm nowhere near good enough for anyone else's.' Seems to be the finest distillation I can manage. This thought tends to lead to me expecting way more from myself than anyone else actually is - because I imagine that they are holding me to such lofty standards and that I am falling short.
The bitch is that I don't actually give to flying fuck what other people think about me, generally speaking, but when it comes to a collaborative effort like oh, a job or writing or coveny pagan woo, I am screwed sideways in the ear with a wine cork and some anthrax Jell-O because I've got to perform exemplary for my efforts to mean anything.
I'm having one of these kinds of days. I'm always paranoid, but today, eh, I'm just taking the shit more personal than usual.... :x

When someone ahead of you doesn't accelerate fast enough for you when the light turns green, it's because they're trying to make sure you get stuck at the intersection for another red light.
:oops:
Guilty as charged.
If you walk into a room, and a friend doesn't immediately say hi to you, it's because they hate your guts and want you to die.
Yes, your one best friend really did tell your other best friend to break you apart again and again and again because the one best friend doesn't want you two to be so close, and your other best friend was happy to do it because you did something wrong and they don't want to tell you what, and they will never tell you because they already said nothing was wrong, and they don't want to go back on what they said.
Also you're dying, but better not to tell anybody because it will look like a cry for attention, or look like you're being passive aggressive and trying to wound people around you or something, and besides, who cares? Nobody. Everyone has someone else except for you, and whatever you did, you don't deserve anyone, even if you don't know what it is you did to not deserve it. Or something
Also you're fat, and you'll never be as beautiful and graceful as those dancers up on the stage there. That beautiful music is not for someone like you to move their clumsy stupid fat ass to.
Also you'd better take a lot of pills so you can sleep and stop feeling. That's a good idea. Maybe you'll sleep for a few days, make time go by faster. That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
Also you're weak. Shut the fuck up, the more you feel like shit the more nobody will want to talk to you, and no, it's NEVER a good time to talk about your issues because everyone else has their own problems. Better leave them be, because you're not good enough to be their friend anyway.
Your potential is matched only by your ability to squander it.
If you were given a golden opportunity to break out of the rat race, you'd be too afraid to take it. You would be fully aware of it at the time. You'd start regretting it even while there was still time to take advantage of it. You'd let it slip past you let every moment slip past you. You will blame someone who loves you, until they can't love you anymore, and then you will blame someone else.
That person, yeah the one you are in love with who seems like he/she is in love with you
he/she doesn't really like you, it's an elaborate joke to make you look like a complete tool. You can't even figure out why someone would do that but it's only because you are such a tool. he/she is way out of your league, more attractive, more intelligent, and more professionally successful than you. Making peons fall in love is one of those cruel games those beautiful people play and you were a pawn in the game this time.

It's because you're a chump. All that stuff you did for him/her, they're laughing about it with their friends. They sit around getting high and doing that every day.
This life is exactly what you, terrible human being that you are, deserve.
You are a terrible parent and are raising your children to be terrible people who's lives will be just as fucked up as yours is.
