The hugging/venting thread

[SpyPie]

And my parents are now violently angry at eachother, for a reason i'm not quite sure of.

I'm having a"wonderful" day

[SilverLeaf.B]

My work and art has been a mess because of my crappy computer. First, a bunch of programs failed to run properly (like skype), then my mic broke, then the audiojack decides not to register headphones, then all the computer browsers fail to work except for SR Ware Iron (a chromium based browser few have heard of (although it's actually really good, basically chrome with additional security)), then FL Studio 10 doesn't work without major static, then GIMP stops working... In every case I've found ways around my problem BUT I DON'T WANT TO FIND WAYS AROUND ALL MY ISSUES, I JUST WANT MY STUFF TO WORK LIKE IT FREAKING SHOULD.

So hello custom built PC. It'll take a while, but I've already started getting the parts new. Should have a sweet computer by winter break.

Mutagen, if it's the same person that keeps standing you up, you should probably confront them about it. Figure out what's going on. In general, you should just make sure you have a way to contact them if something happens. As for your parents, I hope it hasn't been going on too long, and I wish you the best of luck. Having them split up is not good for you. *hugs*

SilverLeaf, congratulations! I built a new computer recently, and I am loving it compared to what I've had in the past. Even if they're subpar when you compare them to parts around, say, a GTX 670 level, they're still amazing. If you ever need help, ask me, or check up buildapc on reddit.

I think this thread needs more people giving out hugs <3

*hugs to all*

I agree! Hugs to all! Even to Mutagen. I've got special bug hugs for him.

I know how frustrating not having a computer can be. I was making music halfway through the first season, but before I could finalize any of my work, my computer completely died. Every bit of it had to be replaced, and that took quite a lengthy amount of time, and I lost a lot of work.
Now everything is up and running again! Just bear through.

Heh, I always had special hugs for him...

[SpyPie]

Thanks guys, my day (i hope) will be alot better. *hugs back*

I don't know whats wrong with me at this point, for the past few weeks i've been an emotional mess. It seems almost everyday i'm stressed and angry for no reason, all I do is mope around. My mom hates me (me-me) when I'm like this, so it's impossible to ask her for help. Like I said, I came back from vacation an absolute wreck. I honestly dont even know what to do anymore, I can hardly go on.

Happens to me from time to time. Life could be going pretty well, and I'll still feel down in the emotional depths and/or stressed and easily angered. Not that I take out my anger on anybody, but it's still there in greater quantities than I'd like.

I have confidence that you can go on, but *dem hugs* nonetheless. All I can really offer is to listen and/or recommend tons of music to get you through whatever ails you. Such is the benefit of knowing an internet weirdo like me.

[SilverLeaf.B]

Thanks to all you guys. If I hadn't become a brony and joined the community, I would have never been interested in music and art as a whole. You guys are great friends.
*hugs to all*
@ Mutagen: I can understand you to a pretty good extent. Emotional rollercoasters are simply another facet of life struggles, it's important to stay positive and talk with friends and people who care for you. At a certain point, it may get out of control, at which point it is a serious psychological threat, and I suggest seeing a doctor. But everyone feels like that from time to time, and it's pretty normal. If you feel as if you really need to, you should see a psychologist.

I am utterly frustrated that if I am on the computer, it is automatically assumed that I am just playing video games and wasting my time. Nobody listens. I can never get anything that takes more than 10 minutes done usually.

So as I sign off the computer for now, I am throwing away a job opportunity I almost had finished.

Way too much

I'm clueless about people and it's frustrating.

I can't help it. I was never good with socializing, but damnit, I'm trying to fix it. It's like I'm blind in these kinds of things. I can't read situations. I can't sense if anything's wrong with others. Hell, I can't even know what people are feeling without someone telling me. I even fall for the simplest of tricks. I'm oblivious AND naive.

Even internet can't help me.

[VINXIS]

My parents force me to go everywhere they go :\ meh, it's not as bad as of what I see in this thread but I hate it when I'm forced to go somewhere.

That was me in Gr.6. Ever since I got to Junior High school/Gr.7, I was finally able to talk and make friends with people somehow because it was like starting over again.
But seriously, what's happening to you made me very annoyed/even paranoid when that was with me. :\ It's hard. *hugs *

I really need to learn how to balance what I have on my plate.

I waste a lot of time dawdling around; I should just ask for a temporary requested ban on this one forum I visit (not here). Done! Hopefully my status won't result in a declination.

Anyway, I need to learn how to focus my time. I have two AP classes this year, which is a change from zero last year. I just transfered into my second one and I need to make up the summer assignment. I also have made nearly zero progress as a musician, since I just haven't applied myself. It's my fault, because I'm bad with time management. I also have a list of fanfics/TV shows/games I want to get through; at the same time, I'm a few months behind on news from EqD. How do I stop wasting time and clear off everything on my plate in a timely manner? Despite my straight As, I've found myself struggling to get all my work done in the morning.

Phew. That felt good. *hugs*

Sheesh, sounds like a rough couple of weeks. Surely, things don't always last like this forever my friend.

I'm sort of new to this community, and from what I gather I'm likely a bit older than most here (I'm 28). Gosh, I feel so old...

Anyway, I've grown to learn that suffering is caused by desire, although it's nature for us to be filled with desire (yes, this is Buddhism, but bear with me). Your desire is to sustain a healthy, working relationship with your parents. That can't always be the case, many parents today certainly don't deserve any respect (not that yours don't, I would have no way of knowing). Accepting the relationship for what it is and eliminating the expectation for something that isn't there, at least for the time being, might be beneficial. The security of yourself is much more important.

Perhaps I'm speaking out of line, just trying to throw in some inspiration words to help get you through everything. Hang in there, bud.

I seem to be developing the amazing ability to make amateurish garbage in LMMS, have it start sounding good and kind of complex, then have it degenerate into utterly unlistenable non-musical noise, which I then relegate to my project graveyard.

The only actual usable stuff I've made (and by usable, I mean that there are like 4 possible uses) was a couple of terrible broken bass things, a hit and a synth that are basically just pure clipping.


Oh, and also half the forum wants me dead for getting bored a while back and replying to threads more than half an hour old.


Hence the signature.

[Freewave]

Sorry to hear, I hope things chill out post-MLR and you find ways to get your music back under-control.

[Fimbulin]

At college, no headphones, no Youtube, and other such dumb rules. K I'm done venting.

[TheSunAndTheRainfall]

Hugsies, you guys.

[Captain Ironhelm]

I think I'm at the right place at the wrong time.

Emp...

[Magnitude Zero]

I have the biggest phone anxiety ever. and now i have to call my college to see why my application is incomplete D: wish me luck. i just spent like 5 minutes staring at the phone and a number and i still cant call D:

Oh god I know that feel. Good luck man

[XXDarkShadow79XX]

Wasn't invited to a bat mitzvah for a girl that treats me like her best friend. It's one of the few parties that was going to play dubstep, which I love. (If you hadn't figured it out yet) People she barely even knows are there. Plus, it was pretty much my last chance to have a great time before my life turned back into a stress-filled hell because of my braces. But the worst part is, I doubt she didn't want me there. The invitation was most likely lost. And it doesn't help that it's a night party and my parents would probably never let me stay out that late.

So now I'm lying on my couch listening to Stan SB - Dead on repeat.

*sigh* I hope I don't get depressed.

[XXDarkShadow79XX]

P.S. I know one party isn't something to get all worked up about, but it is a tipping point. My life is a mess, really. I tend to get mad at myself for being sad (because i think im overreacting) then I get sadder, rinse, repeat. It's awful.

Edit: Well, my sadness just died down a bit, so now I feel like crap and like I'm overreacting.
