I have been on these forums for 178 days and I although I have done my fair share of posts I haven't won any GADs or done anything memorable. I feel so bummed out about it. I suppose I am annoyed that my friend "Fuzzy" has won so many GADs so easily. He is great at everything wether it is school or anywere else and no matter what I do no one even notices me. I once went on a £40 course for a single day to build a computer because fuzzy didn't want to go alone and although I payed the same as him he built 8/10 of the computer and set up 10/10 of it. I hate how controlling he is and how he always beats me at everything. Anyway I am just venting rage right now. I seriously want to know however (joking aside) what everyone thinks of me? I know many of you will not know me or call me sad for even posting this but I would really like to know. Thank you!!

Look...

I've posted 24 class reviews. And I havn't won. :(

Then look at El Blokey all he has to do is write a review and he gets a game just like that.. I'd say he's only here for the games.

I'm just going to keep trying till I win...

You do the same.

Thanks guys. I suppose I shouldn't judge myself by fuzzy's standards. I guess he will always be better than me at pretty much everything but I can't complain. I am just annoyed at how easy everything comes to him. ah well as you said Rosalind I envy him. Anyway at least I know I'm not thought of as stupid on the forums aswell as out of them.

Cubist. I have been on these forums only a little longer than you, and I have seen you around since you were a newbie. I too went through a period where I wanted everyone to like me here. Then It stopped and I don't care what people think fo me here anymore. I came for the disscusions and not for GAD. I have won one GAD, but that was a complete surprise. I just posted a story that I had written, and never even thought about it being eligiable. What I am trying to say is, stop worrying about what people think of you and you will have more fun.

It sounds to me as if you are jealous of Fuzzy. I know a bit about this because at school my best friend was always better than me at everything. A bit of jealousy doesn't do a friendship any harm, and over the years it has grown into admiration and a realisation that I probably enjoy my life more that she does, because I don't try so hard at my work.

The worrying part is where you say that you hate how controlling he is. Its possible that Fuzzy would like you to take a more active part in your friendship, have you asked him how he feels about this.

It is rarely sensible to go into direct competion with someone has you seem to have done here.

I hope I have said somethings that hit home. If not ignore my post entirely, but remember this is just a chat forum and if no one here likes you it doesn't reflect on real life. (I'm not saying no one likes you.)

Hehe, you're all right. Bit of a Ninty fanboy but still. {:)

I've seen you around more than Fuzzy, if that means anything.

Also, you keep to the actual subject of the forum more than most people.
