Perhaps not. The guys has GOT to lighten up or his problem will continue as it is. The first thing he has to change is his attitude. Maybe the link Hombrew posted did not contain liquids true attitude, but if this thread does, then he’s in trouble.
Liquidchaos, seek therapy, and find something that brings you joy. There’s a lot of stuff out there, and you’re bound to enjoy some of it. If you have some joy in your life to share, that will make you much more attractive to humans in general, girls in particular. Read up on some stuff, find a hobby, something. Just don’t sit there in it. The longer you do, the harder it will be to get out of it.
I would second the first suggestion in this thread about joining a yoga class or some other exercise group. Not only will you almost certainly enjoy it (those classes are very fun ), you will be meeting lots of people, some of whom will be (if my experience is anything to go by) very attractive women. Give it a try.
Hey LiquidChaos. Pal, you live in what may well be the most active Dopefest metropolitan area in the world. Hell, if the D/FW Dopers’ll let me (I’m a furriner up there) hang with 'em, I’m sure they’ll take you in.
That group might not be for you, but why not find something that is? Get a hobby that involves getting some air, some exercise, and some contact/ friendship building with other people, and you may find things picking up.
Are you this witty normally?
There is nothing wrong with having compassion and caring for another human being, even in the pit. As soon as you want to quit hiding behind your nastiness, or can pull the thorn out of your paw, or the stick out of your superior ass, I would be more than willing to have a conversation with you.
:rolleyes:
IME Hastur tends to come out swinging. (fists that is)
Hastur might just possibly take things a little too personal.
Homebrew’s remarks didn’t bother me too much though. He’s taking the OP to task for two things, as I see it.
1-whining
2-earlier, possibly offensive, posts
With regard to the offensive post, I’ll accept that LC was playing the Devil’s advocate. That’s what he says, and I’ll take him at his word. However I will reiterate Homebrew’s other comment, though in a friendlier way. LC, as long as you dwell on what makes you such a sad and lonely guy you will be supremely unattractive to the gentler sex. This is fundamentally true, whether it’s fair or not.
FWIW, I identify very much with your dilema. I’ve made a series of poor decisions over the course of life (particularly in my thirties), and I too am alone. Like you I go through the daily routines without seeing much change, but never will anyone hear me complain about it. I hope you feel better soon. I think you should take the advice of others to get out and do something active, but by all means cease feeling sorry for yourself.
