Mr. Parcelan's account was hax0red to write:
Fill it with SOCIALIZATION!
Get over yourself. You'd HATE it if I did get a life, because then you'd lose one more button you can push on your imaginary control board that you push when you want to feel superior to everyone else.
Let me tell you something, you fucking judgemental antangonistical attention-whore. I complain about my job, but I need to keep that job in order for my mother and I to continue to have a place to live. I play games because it's what I do in my spare time to relax and have fun. My schedule doesn't easily allow me to "socialize" the way you feel I should, even if I had the socialization skills that, according to you, one must have in order to be considered of having a life. Changes take time, so excuse me if I fail to send Your Fucking Imperial Majesty daily status reports. Lord knows I wouldn't want to read those constantly.
When I start paying YOU to judge my life and tell me what to do better instead of trained professionals, THEN you can fucking tell me to get a life.
No, seriously, it's out of concern for you, dawg, hard as that might be to believe.
Do you really think you're living a healthy life?

Mr. Parcelan probably says this to all the girls:
Who the fuck told him about the control board?No, seriously, it's out of concern for you, dawg, hard as that might be to believe.
Do you really think you're living a healthy life?
People don't usually show concern WITH THE FUCKING FLAME TAG.
They do it with the PM function, which wouldn't suit your purposes because you wouldn't have a fucking audience, now would you?
And to answer your question, no, I don't think it's a healthy life. Reality infrequently takes what a person thinks into account when determining itself.
But it also serves for people to give you another dose of the violent truth, since nothing else works.
But seriously, get at it, yo.

I deal with the "violent truth" every fucking day and every goddamned night; I don't need you pointing it out to me.

I can't speak for Mightion, but being social in the right environment was/is (mostly was) hard for me. Something basically had to click on its own for me to get it.
Being social in a wrong/unsocial environment would be flat out shitty.

Gee I donno.. maybe because it's *not* as easy as everyone likes to think it is.
It's not like flipping a switch with some people. Time's also another factor, "making" the time isn't always easy when that little problem called a job sometimes zaps all your time and energy away.
Violent truth is just a tactless way to try and get him to change what you don't like seeing him do. Get off his case.

No, it's not easy, but to date, he has never made any motion to try anything, which is pretty bad

No, it isnt easy and time is a big factor. But sitting around, dwelling in the things that cause problems just make things worse. If that means you have to spot doing something entirely for a little while to achieve your social goals, then *gasps* you do that. I don't think it is a question of time available, more like how it is spent. Pesco fucked around with this message on 10-25-2004 at 03:03 AM.
You've got me sitting here, crying and hating myself tonight when all I'd really had planned for tonight was maybe a little CoH.
Why? Why? Well, I hope you're happy, because now I'm crying my eyes out... quietly, so mom doesn't hear.
I hope it was worth it, fucker.

Yeah, but you don't know what's going on on his side aside what he says. You don't get the whole of everything, even if it's from the proverbial horses mouth. You don't know what's going on inside one's head.. you don't know what he leaves out because he might feel to personal to share.
Sometimes one's mind is thier own cell. It traps people. And it's *NOT* always easy to spot what's wrong. And even if you do, it's not always easy to figure out what to do to fix it.

It'd be nice if sociality was so easy to do, but get real guys - having a house over ones head comes first.
Who said you had to spend money or lose money to socialize? A lot of people do just fine working 40-50 hour weeks, just barely paying the bills with kids and being social.
This has nothing to do with the physical neccesities, this is purely a mental block from what I can gather.

Jesus.
It just really sucks to see a guy like that and sometimes you really do just want to put a boot to his ass. It is nothing out of disrespect, it just helps for some people. In the end, all of us just want to help them in some way. Everything is worth trying.
Bottom line: Its in his hands. Lay off and let him deal with his life.
First of all, like its been said many times in this thread, lay off. Its not your life, not your issues to deal with.
Secondly, what the HELL ever gave anyone the idea that we know how his life is going? Its not like this board is a personal diary that we read every day. How would anyone here, communicatig in a way that you never even talk to him in person, know what troubles he may have?
And third, (mostly directed to Parcelan) where do you get off being the one to tell him "I dont like how you are, so change!" and then when you are finally rebuked, you come back with, "I was just concerned. Still, change anyway." Its not your damn place to tell anyone that. I could just as well come back and say to you that your coming here and doing your best to make other people feel bad about themselves is unhealthy. Why do you feel the need to be superior over people who you may never meet? I personally think you are a cool guy and you havent really done too much out of place flaming in a while, but when you do decide to go off in such a way as to flame anyone you dont like, it really gets annoying. Not humbling, not thought provoking. Annoying. But I'm not going to tell you to change because I dont like how you are. Its really none of my business.
And my fourth issue. Calling someone out like this, as had been stated above, will not cause them to want to change. I personally deal with this shit every day, when I go to work, because my supervisor is incapable of being happy with anything I do. His calling me out every other day has no more effect on me other than losing whatever respect I had for him, and then giving up. And I'm pretty sure Mightion feels the same way.
Like you have not been flaming lately (until this, obviously), he has not really been throwing pity parties much either.
So lay off. He's not hurting you, and if it annoys you so bad to read his posts, DONT read them. Azakias fucked around with this message on 10-25-2004 at 06:53 AM.
Azakias pretty much said what I wanted to. Lay off, it's not your life, and you don't know anything about it.
Mightion did go through an extended period with his EQ chica where she was OBVIOUSLY playing him, and he wouldn't do anything to help himself.
But that's a symptom of Mightion's problem. The issue isn't that he's irresponsible, or a drama queen, or that he doesn't try. Mightion's got himself stuck in a rut. It's not dissimilar to how I was before starting school this semester. Do you dare force things? The world seems aligned against you and the tasks seem so interminably vast that you start to wonder if it's even worth the effort.
I was nowhere near as deep as Mightion is, but I can empathize. So to some extent, Parce was/is right. Mightion does tend to gripe about his life a lot, and a lot of the time he doesn't seem to be making progress. The truth is he's digging himself out very slowly, and he needs to vent along the way. Momentum and all that.
On the other hand, this kind of thread ain't cool. Soooo...naughty Parce.
