I’ve dated successfully, married and had children. My friends, coworkers and dogs seem to like me very much.
Can anyone not help me?
Just the kind of person who would berate me in real life.
Oh, oh, I won’t help you!
And what about your coworker’s dogs? Do they like you?
Is the purpose of this thread to mock HandsomeGorrilla and others with self-esteem issues?
Just trying to understand if the OP is expecting others to pile on or if this is a lone wolf thread.
It appears that this thread is in the wrong forum.
I bet you’re white too.
The purpose of the thread is to have fun and balance out all of the ‘SDMB as a stand-in for therapy’ posts lately. I’m not mocking HandsomeGorilla (though he could stand to lighten up and engage with the posters who are offering him good advice, instead of just reiterating his self-belief over and over).
nm.
OP, what you need is some sort of disability. There are many to choose from, physical and psychological. America loves the underdog.
Does terrible vision count? I’m also left-handed.
If those types of threads bother you, maybe you should just ignore them. Instead, you supported my contention that this is a mocking thread. As such, there is a particular forum for that.
You could make a case for some sort of hardship from your left-handedness, how the world is built for righties and how you feel marginalized. People not inviting you to their right-handed poker games and such.
I feel sorry for you. You’re missing out on all the fear, anxiety, and depression that is the backbone of life. You probably never enjoy the anticipation of rejection, or the joyous shame of inferiority. Perhaps counseling will help you lose your self esteem.
I would say that if this thread bothers you, you should likely just ignore it.
I mean, mocking something is just a way of expressing an opinion about it, and in this particular case, it is understandable that some of us are getting a bit worn out by the constant PITY MEEEEE! threads.
YOU FREAK!!!
There. Do you feel better now? This I do for you, my friend! 
I already don’t like you.
What girl could possibly love a southpawed four-eyes?
Just express your opinion on outdoor cats, shoes in the house, tipping, or circumcision, and there are plenty of people here who will take down your self-esteem in a hurry.
Shoes are for outside, cats are for inside, always tip well at your circumcision. What’s so controversial?
I’m with MoonMoon. Seems like an awful lot of folks on here should just up and get a Livejournal account already. The occasional post is fine but all the incessant woe is me crap gets old.
News flash, everyone’s life sucks sometimes. Suck it up and find a way to move forward.
Maybe Zeldar can start a top 5 ‘Whose life sucks the most’ thread.
Wait… This isn’t LiveJournal?? :smack:
