Yeah, we all get depressed. Some more than others. Your dog dies, you lose your phone, your PS2 breaks - whatever. We all feel a little low from time to time.

Seems every day I wake up with stuff to do "Yeah, gotta show my script at college, get some feedback!" - go in, one person out of about five actually reads it, says it's alright.

"Yeah, gotta go to work, there are four girls there I like!" - one girl is off, I don't sit anywhere near another, things are going "just OK" with the other and I just found out the one I really like spent the night with some *expletive deleted* who works on the other side of the building. And my amazingly funny (I swear!) jokes don't make her laugh, they make her angry, resulting in much "I hate you" talk. Unless I'm making fun of myself or our militaristic manager, she doesn't want to know. My mate is off on Wednesday, it'll be interesting to see if she approaches me to go on our break when he's not here (it's usually me and my friend and her)

Then there's the competition for her. My friend. His friend. His friend's friend, whom she really likes and just spent the night with. Lost in the shuffle is poor MoJo, like a fish out of water. Younger girls are meant to dig older blokes like me (she just turned 17, I'm almost 20 - yikes) Wait, that's true, since the other bloke is my age... Worse still, got a night out coming up, and she's inviting him along. The other girl I really like is part of one of those religions which basically says "no" to drinking (being culturally retarded, I couldn't tell you what religion she is) so plan A - get her so drunk her inhibitions fall enough so she goes for me - is right out the window. Being yourself doesn't work when you're ugly.

Walking home, slipping on the ice and listening to some MP3s, I got so depressed - I almost stopped dead in my tracks, I lost the will to go on. I'm almost 20 and living at home. I want to be a film maker but I'm too lazy to REALLY get out there and make it happen. I haven't had a bird for years and if it weren't for my recent trip to Thailand, I'd be worrying if my equipment was still in order. I'm failing my college course and without it I can't go to uni. I can't drive and I'm too lazy to learn. Girls I like either see me as a friend or don't see me at all. And I only see my mates once a week, if that.

I'm stuck in a cycle of college and work, there doesn't seem like there's any time for ME anymore. I just do as I'm told. Get up, go to college, come home, go to work, come home, sleep, get up, go to college, come home... By the weekend I'm too knackered to want to go out, and I have to book time with my friends six months in advance if I want to see them anyway.

OK, so my dog hasn't died, I haven't lost my phone and my PS2 hasn't stopped working, but I'm still depressed. Had to vent it.

MoJoJoJo.

If you really think that-badly about yourself, DON'T.

I've always thought of myself as being "ugly" and everything, too, but, since then, I've found it to be more of a `Confidence´ thing that anything else.

I mean, this guy the girl's with... Is he really, what you would call, "good-looking"? Would you rather you looked like him? Or are you happier being who [or "what"...] you are?

You've just got to think positive about things; be positive and uplifting around other people. It really DOES make a difference. I mean, if you feel bad about yourself - and you show it - you're not gonna look any better infront of other people you WANT to impress, now, are you.


I know it's not easy to like someone you see regularly when you find out she's already "envolved" with someone else (heck, I'm going through it myself), but, you've just got to get ontop of it before it gets ontop of you. There are PLENTY of other women in the world; maybe you'll find one? Letting something you have no control over get the better of you is not a good thing at all. Even if you tried to make something happen, surely, you could only make it worse, anyway.

Just leave it as it is, let it be, and look at another option.


Life is tough, but you're not alone. I doubt even the Billionaires of today's world get through it all at such a "breeze". Chances are, there are millions of other people feeling the same as you - perhaps, even, some will be women. Women that you will soon meet and have something to talk-about...

Always look forwards in life; never backwards on things you regret or miss.

Jeez, she sounds like a barrel of laughs.

However hot she may be, spending time with someone with no sense of humour who is, by the sounds of it, pretty obnoxious, just doesn't seem worth it.

Screw her, set your sights on one of the other girls you have your eye on(!), one who isn't lame.



I've been more or less housebound for months, living with my parents, with my screwed up leg and no money. I've been able to do virtually nothing, and not had a woman, for ages. So in some ways I'm in a similar position. And I'm going out of my fricking mind.
Then once I'm able to work again, it'll be months in some dead end low paid monkey-work until I'm back to uni (masters) in september.
They say these are meant to be the best days of our lives. It makes me want to cry.

If you're really that lonely (this goes for any of you) go swallow your pride and use an online dating service or something. There are plenty of lonely girls out there...

Oooh. Righty.

Meh. There isn't a perfect partner, in my opinion. Every relationship is hard and you have to work at it. Apparently.
