The hugging/venting thread

[GhostXb]

So wait, did your landlord kick you out, or just your roommate? Can you find another person to room with? One who doesn't drink? Sorry to hear about your situation, man. Hope you can keep a roof over your head.

We all agreed to go our separate ways. One roommate in particular is actually a good guy and is trying to become sober, but he just had enough so he wanted out. There is no way in hell I'm staying with the other, who has caused us a lot of problems. I'm just done with roommates in general, their problems become yours.

On a brighter side, I did find a nice old couple renting out a basement suite for a really decent price, and my sister has been holding a government check for me that I didn't know about, so things worked out in the end I guess. But thanks for taking interest in my problems.

I planned to order the parts for my new computer build about 3 weeks ago, but since I live in Canada, Paypal apparently couldn't confirm addresses out side of the U.S., which Newegg requires, so they get the right shipping address.

So along with managing work, I talked to Newegg 3 times, Paypal 5 times, and my bank 6 times (Because at the time I thought this was the problem as it was not verified), All I got was shit answers, these people have no clue what they're doing, and I got different answers from everyone, everytime. On some occasions they told me to call for example, Paypal, and then Paypal would tell me to, for example, call my bank back.

After all this frustration for the last week or so, I was about to snap, I just want my fracking computer before my birthday (Which is currently 2 weeks away), so finally deciding to give up on Paypal, I went to my final option, I called my bank, and asked them to increase my limit.

I've only had my credit card for about 6 months now, and I was told it takes 9 months - 1 year to get your first increase. I was lucky. The lady I talked to said that she would increase it to $1,000. I was happy, but still not satisfied considering my computer would cost over $2,000. So I asked her politely, if she could increase it to $2,000 for just 24 hours. Not only did she do that, she gave me 1 week, and an extension (I can go over my limit by about $500).

I have never been so pissed, but so happy. Fuck you Paypal, all I can say, and thank you to my bank for being the most professional of the three. I am now getting my computer either this Friday or next week, and I will be finally able to not have overusage of my CPU.

That's weird, I also live in Canada and I never had problems with Paypal. I have my account verified through my bank, and I recently ordered my PC from Newegg.ca no problem. in fact, I don't even need any balance in my paypal, it's linked to my bank account, so when I make a purchase, it is automatically withdrawn from my bank account. Sucks that you had to go through all that to get your PC.

Well, to be honest, it was my first online purchase from a huge store online, for a huge amount of money as well. All my other purchases have been below $50, still, it didn't come directly from my bank account either, just directly from my paypal account. That might of amounted to the reason why.

Right now I have 10 of the 13 parts in though Should get my Asus monitor and my two harddrives tomorrow!

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS WARNING

asdgbasdiflunjkaweifho the lady that cut my hair yesterday cut it too short and it looks retarded FUCK qiqauohfalsdhifbjAHBJalKJBNSLIKBJDFLBLhmicbjisdalibhorsegliaubgfuckeruiiowme

Oh yeah, hope your guys' problems get better too.

[Motivfs]

And now, I had to phone Newegg today to hear that my shipment got damaged (the monitor), and I will have to wait for it to get shipped back to them, so then I can get a refund from the claim, and then buy it again, and then get it shipped out again.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!

[Ed Viper]

I can't quit smoking.

Hold me.

[vladnuke]

I can't quit smoking.

Hold me.

Too many feels, man. Just maintain composure. People are gonna tell you that it's totally easy and to just deal with it, but they have no idea. Just remember, stick through it, and don't give up. Ever.

*super hugs*

Do whatever it takes, man. Lock yourself in your room, look at pictures of fucked up shit, if you do break, try to do something really, really unpleasant. Get through the first two weeks, go to meetings, just get active in quitting. I mean, yes you're going to be irritable to the extreme, but don't cave in. Keep yourself away, make it a ritual, throw every thing in your house related to smoking away, if your friends ask you to participate, politely tell them you quit.

*extreme super glomp hug*

Guys, everytime I hear about someone who's having trouble with quitting cigarettes, I must recommend Allen Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking (this link contains the entire thing.) I'm not a smoker myself, but I've heard SO MANY TIMES that this book helped someone quit that you wouldn't believe it. Best of luck.

I have some venting of my own. I have three exams in the next five days (math, physics, chemistry,) and it's honestly scaring me. Everyone expects so much of me, including myself, and I haven't really been meeting those expectations in most subjects lately. I used to be a top student, but now everything's a lot harder, and I can barely keep up.

[VINXIS]

My Dad rants about everything.
Most for my english mark. He is like a frickin hypocrite. His worst is also english and he starts ranting onto me for getting english as my least mark in all of my subjects.

An update to my grandmother's passing: I went to her funeral today and needless to say, I bawled like a baby. We inherited a lot of her belongings, mainly some jewelry and furnishings (I myself got some lovely red curtains) to remember her by. You guys don't understand how much she meant to me, but she lived a long life at 90 years.

FUCK MY ROOMMATES AND FUCK MY LIFE! I FUCKING HATE ALCOHOL!

I don't understand, if alcohol is the root of your problems, then you stop drinking right? NO! Apparently the logical solution is to spend all your money on beer! Then be late on rent! Then get an eviction notice! If that isn't enough! Why not throw another random fucking party 4:00 in the morning and wreck shit and flush my fucking damage deposit (that I paid by myself) in the damn toilet! Apparently the landlord called the cops! I don't fucking blame him! If I heard people punching holes in my wall I'd fucking call them too!

It's my name on the rental lease, and my damage deposit, and I barely have enough money to even find a place to stay by myself! All I wanted was a quite place to study for school, is that so much to ask! I don't drink or do any drugs, or cause any mischief, why the fuck am I being punished for this?

The only thing I'm guilty of is trying to be an understanding person, and give people second changes!


FUCK SECOND CHANCES!! NOBODY DESERVES THEM!!

AAAAARRRRRGH!

Sorry, I felt more comfortable venting to people I hardly know, then on facebook with people that I do know.

Shit, I want to say something on Facebook but I can't. I don't want anyone worrying about me.

Also, Pickslide1992, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. She sounded like a wonderful lady. My Grandfather died a few years ago, and it was also a big shock to me. I really looked up to him, and even today when I'm in a bad mood, I think about how strong my grandfather was. He is a source of inspiration for me. He was a very hard working and loving man until the day he died.

In fact, remembering him now is starting to calm me down. Thank you! *Huggs*

*hugback.avi*
One thing that's interesting is the power of text. It's interesting, because most of how we feel and talk is expressed in our faces. It's also interesting because if you were saying that much in a conversation, you'd think we wouldn't be listening.

But we are. We listen and that's what this thread is for. Sometimes, you just need to escape and to do that, you must seal your problems elsewhere. That's what this thread is for. You'll get over these things, just give them time. As for your roommate, just focus on getting him out or you going somewhere else yourself. In Australia, we have some policies and holdings for these trashy people and the government usually hands over some surplus and gives you a temporary flat (albeit in a really bad part of the town) to hold onto.

[Pickslide1992]

Yeah, that's the sole intention of making this thread: letting people vent when things get tough.

[Magnitude Zero]

Pick, you gonna be alright? I really wish I could do something to help you get through this besides giving internet hugs :/

[itroitnyah]

So I am really horrible at synth design, at it really pisses me off on a constant basis. So I'm taking this next week entirely for synth design. Hopefully I'll learn some shit and get better, but my synth level is like, lower than the average for somebody who's been making music for about 2/3 the time I've been producing.

[XXDarkShadow79XX]

Ugh, I feel like crap. Physically. I just had a cold fever, then I got REALLY COLD for some reason. Now my fever is back. It's not quite as bad as before, but I can't bring myself to get up, move non extremeties, or even talk. Uuugh at least I stated home from school.

[itroitnyah]

and now I'm in debt to my parents because I didn't come and empty the dishwasher the literal second my mom told me told. I'm not even fucking joking, I was watching a short 1 minute 30 second long video on youtube, and there was 30-20 seconds left on the video, my mom calls me to go and empty the dishwasher. My response is, naturally, "whatever, in a minute" since I wanted to finish watching the video. Then my mom instantly goes ape shit over how I'm going to be late for school (since it was before school) and how I was supposed to do dishes last night and how apparently I'm never going to do the dishes. All because I didn't get up and do as she told me the second she said it. So I yell back that I'll be there after this video is finished, and she continues to yell at me about how I don't have time to finish the video, and I tell her that there are literally about 30 seconds left, but she doesn't give a fuck, she yells at me for the same reasons, so I frustratedly close the open tab and walk up stairs, and start emptying the dishwasher. Of course, I'm angry, so I'm slamming stuff open and close, and the whole while my dad is lecturing me about how my mom deserves my constant respect; which, don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to disrespect her by finishing the video, which I didn't get to finish, before going to do the dishes, it was her fault for blowing up at me like that, and during the process of slamming stuff, I accidentally broke one of the cupboard doors. And so now my parents are making me pay for it, which is understandable, I guess. But that still doesn't mean that my mom was justified in yelling at me because I didn't stop what I was doing just because she told me to do something. And I only have $5 since I don't have a job and spent all my money previously on a new synth.

[Pickslide1992]

Okay, venting time. This morning, my mom turned into, for lack of a better word, a bitch. A bitch who has a chip on her shoulder and it daring me, my brother, or my dad to knock it off. I'm not sure what the problem is, but she's snapping at everyone, and falsely accused me of using a shaver (Which is illogical as I'm doing No Shave November) and leaving it out in the living room. I got off easy compared to my dad and brother, to which she probably sees as the spawns of Satan if I didn't know any better.

I'm not a confrontational guy, hell, I hate conflict. The thing is though that I don't know what her problem is, and if I did I would try my best to fix it. I want to know why all of a sudden she's acting like this. And no, it's not PMS because she got fixed when I was 5. (I'm not quite sure of the medical term, but that's irrelevant). I just want to get to the bottom of this so I can have a pleasant day. It doesn't help I have a head cold, so if anything I have a reason to be pissed and scream like s banshee.

[MixolydianPony]

House is getting foreclosed on, parents are getting a separation. Well, it was time to move out, anyway... anyone looking for a roommate in the Maryland area, per chance?

[Nine Volt]

Fuck American Airlines. Also, I'll fuck LA International Airport while I'm at it.

A thread for ranting? Mkay here goes.
Why in the history of everything ever is society this bad? I can't even be TALL without getting mocked for it. I'm even mocked for being TALL. Never mind my long hair, the fact that I'm a brony, the fact that I hate my own gender or anything, no no, people now take the piss just because I'm 6"1. Well I'm very very sorry that my genetics have made me this way, I will try and shrink myself to please you. No. You can go F yourself. The bullies in my school are possibly the most inept people ever. It doesn't piss me off what they say because most of it is "HAH GAY SPESH FREAK SPAZZZZZZ", it pisses me off that they are like 5 years younger than me (I'm in the final year of school) and they think it's fine to go up to me and say "Hello, are you gay? Yes, yes you are." And I'm just left there seething in my own confusion.
I thought to clear things up I'd reveal my bisexuality over Facebook. No, they just got bored with that insult and moved on to how I'm tall. again, the thing that pisses me off about this is the stupidity of society if it let's it's children become so utterly IDIOTIC as to feel it's fine to make fun of someone because they're tall. I'm not even that tall. I'm six foot one. Ugh.

That's my only rant, everything else in my life is average or great

I've just came to the conclusion that kids act this way because of how conceited they are, and are so worried about losing their "popularity". I'd just rate them on their insults.

"I'll give you a 1/10 for effort, but you can do better." and then walk away as if nothing happened. Or, that's what I'd do, lol. I'm not really insulted or anything at school, I'm just that one silent kid.

I don't really have anything to vent about right now, but I'm on my way home from my grandparents house (we celebrate thanksgiving at their house almost every year). I WAS working on a set of speaker stands with my grandpa, since he's really good with wood, and was willing to build them with me. But we weren't able to finish them, so that's disappointing. Also, I didn't, or I'm pretty certain, that I didn't get the job I applied for, so I have to try applying at a few more places when I get home. Which really haves me worried, I guess. I'm spending ~$800 on a new computer when I get a job, and then buying a nice set of speakers as well, and I can't exceed a certain amount, because I have saving up for a trip to Germany, as well as college and a car to think about.

A-freaking-men! I too am a tall long haired brony (I'm 6'2, to any inquiring minds) and all of them make me ripe for some teasing. However I'm also around 180 lbs and look a bit big (Not fat, mind you), so that usually shuts them up.

Younger kids are jerks, so just disregard them. They don't know right from wrong, so they'll do what feels good (I.E. make fun of people who're even the least bit different/show any signs of apprehension)

Idk, being 6ft and going to a school filled with short people, I never really got that reaction. Thankfully most people at school don't know what a brony is. We also have a LGBTQ group at the school, and it's Southern California, in Los Angeles, so the gay community is definitely made welcome. Idk that much about Scotland, but I would get in a group, and make sure people know that that kinda shit is not ok.

[Viricide Filly]

I can't get into a group because I only have like..two friends at school. I did have more but they've all left.
Another thing I'm teased for not just in school but pretty much everywhere ever is the fact that I'm uncomfortable with my gender. It's not enough that I make myself upset at times but people jump in and add to it :I
The only effective way I can deal with all this crap is through music, TBH :/ and music's all I really have in my life besides MLP.
