While, admitting one’s transgressions, apologizing for making them and promising to “do better”, is admirable. I have to agree with Cat Whisperer, that PSX kind of got what was coming to him. But he also deserves an opportunity to prove that he is sincere, about not doing it anymore.
So… The “ball is in your court”, PSX!:dubious:
For what it’s worth, my vote is… You’re welcome to stay and be a part of SDMB.
That is, unless you revert back to the behavior that got you Pitted, in the first place.
They do understand you are scared. A lot of people on this thread have experienced severe social anxiety themselves. Being scared to do something doesn’t mean you can’t do it. It means you can do it, and it will be scary. It is okay to feel scared sometimes. It is not a feeling you can or should avoid at all costs. When you start to do scary things, they get a little less scary each time. generally speaking, the first time you do something, is the scariest it will ever be. So keep that in mind - it does get easier.
BTW, my undergrad degree is in Archaeology/anthropology. It’s pretty funny people acting like that’s more practical than Latin. It’s rather less practical! - at least you could work as a Latin tutor or teach high school Latin, if you wanted to. There isn’t much call for archaeology tutoring. I worked in Marketing for many years, in case you’re wondering. Now I’m an attorney.
So give us a sign of good faith then. You do what you want this weekend. Surf the net, post here, watch movies, whatever.
Monday morning, you have your ass out of bed, shaved, showered, dressed, and ready to walk out the front door by 9:00 AM. Go to the closest grocery store. Ask them for an application, fill it out neatly and turn it in. That’s it. You’re done for the day…except if the phone rings, you have to answer it. And if they offer you a job, or even an interview, you have to accept it.
If you don’t get hired, then Tuesday, you have to go to at least TWO potential employers, request applications, complete them, and turn it in. Now you are done for the day except for answering the phone and accepting any jobs or interviews offered.
Same routine every day, increasing the number of applications by one each day. And you have to post here that you have actually done it-with enough detail that we know you really did it. No excuses will be accepted. No lying. No whining. Get your ass up and out of the goddamn house. Show us you’re trying. Earn some self respect.
Dammit PSXer, stop being a pussy. The energy you put forth here would serve you well in the real world. In that other ‘I’m so pathetic what should I do’ thread I wished we were in the Pit so we could speak honestly. Here we are and I simply want to tell you that you have more control over your life than you realize. I am not sure if the troll label should be applied to you or whether you are just fucking around for attention with these pathetic threads. You write well. You are not a dummy. In your posts you are basically writing the answers to what you need to do. So do it.
Seriously, a similar amount of effort and energy are needed to get the fuck up and take charge of yourself as that needed to deal with your current situation.
A male role model would be good for you. Somebody who would support you by speaking to you as a man, a person who would tell you to quit beating up on yourself and tell you to get in motion. Hang around with guys. You will eventually meet men you look up to, who will be a positive influence on you.
Someone once said to me, “surround yourself with the kind of people you want to be like.” That was and is excellent advice.
I agree with this. I enjoyed the emotional boyfriend post and others like it even though they were made up. Sincere PSXer posts are just pathetic and whiny. I think PSXer should be granted troll immunity to make fictional, entertaining posts.
Will you get the fuck out of the pit if it causes you so much emotional damage?
No-one…literally not one person on the board* likes you doing your retarded white-knight routine in pit threads.
Will you shut up already?
*Now that I’ve said this, we may get a half-dozen contrarians saying “Golly! I like it when he does”, but the key point is..they didn’t say it before.
Now I’m an attorney.
