Like the title suggests this thread is about you. It's about your life and your problems. It's a place to tell people about yourself and learn about the others. The reason I'm starting this thread is because I like to think about the people on this forum as my friends. If we were all to meet then I'm positive that the majority would get along great. But there's one thing that separates us from being regular friends. A screen. That's the only connection we really have with each other, and it's a fragile one. So I propose this thread to get to better know the people you talk to and laugh with on a daily basis. If have something in your life you want to talk about post it here. If you had a bad day and you just need somewhere to vent then do it here. Have dreams for your future? Guess where you should post them. Anything about yourself at all, weather you think it's worth sharing or not, post it here. Share as little or as much as you want.

Godday, my name is Pontus, i live in Sweden gothenburg, 17 soon to be 18. My childhoos sucked, and still sucks. Iv'e been bullied most of my life and have no friends, iv'e been depreesed for almost 4 years but not strong deppresion if you can say that, mostly i start to hate peapole get really cynical, and become socially withdrawn, iv'e spent most off my life at the computer seeking refuge in the various roles you coud take in games, escaping in to that caracter and forget about you own life, i'm still doing this since it makes me feel good. My dad has been a complete ass to me my whole life up until 2 years ago where i said i'd kill him if he hit me once again. Now i'm typing away on this tread i wait for something to do. BAI GUYS... |

ok... My story is not really that "extreme" (not even that in-depth) but I guess I'll post now ![]() My real name is Robin and I was born on april 25th in a town called "Trollhättan". My parents split up when I was a year and a half, but I still see my dad regularly. My mom and dad also had a daughter, and then my dad has 2 more kids with 2 other women. Anyways, I was born with a Cerebral palsy in the right side of my brain. Luckily, this wasn't the kind that makes me mentally challenged but merely interfere with something in my legs... You see, because of the CP, my achilles tendons (I had to look that word up..) didn't grow at the same rate.. This resulted in a difference in leg lengths (This is merely a couple of centimetres...). By just looking, at me you would probably not be able to tell, but you can notice it in the way that I'm limping a little bit. Because of the lenght difference, I have impaired balance aswell. Ofcourse this has affected my life, but not in too severe ways. When I was younger, I used to slightly on my toes (probably to make it feel like I wasn't limping) so my doctor decided that at night I was going to wear a plastic bit, shaped like a 90 degree foot, so that I wouldn't walk on my toes as much. These were actually somewhat painful to have on for 12+ hours, so I would silently try to take them off... I visited the doctor once a month to keep track of improvments and such. A couple of years later, my parents and doctor decided that I would have surgery on my achilles tendons. I don't really know what they did during the operation, but I have very small scars around that part of my foot. I had plaster (once again, looking up words) on both legs for a pretty long time, in which I sat in a wheelchair. During this time it seems like we had lots of fieldtrips in school, so I had to stay home every time. After the wounds had healed, they removed the plaster and told me that even with the surgery I wouldn't be able to walk normally; I had to stretch the achilles tendons every day. With me being somewhat ignorant and with my awesome memory, I only did this for a couple of days... Now I have a doctors visit every year and apparently it's getting better. Because of all of this, I cannot ride a bike, I can't run or even walk for long distances without resting my legs etc. I think this is why I started gaming actually... Because I couldn't do all of the things that my friends did... Other than that, stuff doesn't really happen in my life... Last year, my grandma had a heartattack and my grandpa a stroke. They're both fine now, luckily. |

Ah my life hasn't been as dramatic as any of yours. Just a normal blah blah blah life with nothing special really happening. Oh....my name is Jessica for those who don't know and I'm 26 years old. I wanna be a mommy soon :3 Then I also can be cooking mama, because I like to cook fuds. Atm I'm going through depressions and sleeping problems, but it's nothing really major either. And I'm getting better \o/ I've always liked to game. As a kid I'd rather play with boys than with girls because imo, boys had all the fun stuff. I played with dolls and barbies until I was about 12-14 (yes it was a long time, but at that time, kids were kids a lot longer than nowadays), granted, in my older years it was about sex and drugs XD . I was very interested in wicca as a teenager. I REALLY wanted to be a witch. Problem was (which is still a "problem") I have a VERY hard time believing in deities, even when I really want and try to. I've played video and console games for as long as I can remember and I would rather play video games than do girly talks with my friend. Gaming however had to be done in secret during that time, otherwise I'd have been labeled as a geek and nerd and all other kinda bad labels. I hated going to school. It was so horrible. I just wanted to stay home. I was stubborn about it too. If I had decided I didn't want to school, I wouldn't go to school and no one could force me. Mom tried once, she somehow managed to clothe me and drag me to the car and drove me to school. Once there, I grabbed hold of the car and refused to get out. She couldn't get me out so she got help from my teacher and together they tried to get me out. A few minutes later mom returned home, with me still in the backseat I was victorious! o/ It still makes me smile tbh ![]() Anyway....that's about it for now....just an ordinary life with ordinary stuff happening |

Wow, i wasn't aware that "a lot" of people on the forums were in such bad mental (physical) conditions. As for myself, i also suffer from a physical condition. I have what is called "Strabismus", which means my eyes are not properly aligned. Look it up if you want. I used to wear glasses when i was a kid till about 6th grade in elementary school. Now, i don't need to wear glasses, mainly because i didn't really need to wear them in the first place. It just helped in certain situations, where i had to focus really hard on a single point. I can read fine and all without them, so it's no problem for me. But of course this has lead to some social issues, as i have a difficulty looking in peoples eyes, because...well because of how my eyes look. Anyway, i don't feel like sharing everything about my life as of now. I might add some at a later point. |

Well, I'm not totally sure about what to tell about meself. Well, my name isn't really Sid. It's more like my nickname, since most of my non-Norwegian friends can't pronounce my name. I'm currently 18, but I turn nineteen on February 22nd, right in the middle of the Norwegian Winter Break. I'm also Bi-Sexual, which almost no-one knew before about a year ago. When I was seven, I had a fatal kidney failure and due to that I can't remember much from my childhood. I suffer from a sort of Amnesia, not the silly J-RPG nonsense, but the real deal. I can't remember anything from Primary School, except a very few vital moments of my life, which mostly involves my two best friends. I've also been bullied from around 1st grade to 7th grade, and I was bullied so much I was forced to move to another part of the city I live in, but I was still bullied. I was also extremely depressed through this period of time, and I became suicidal. I can't remember much due to my Amnesia.. But I do remember some of the many shrink session I've had through the years. One day during the first semester of 7th grade, I was cornered in a parking-lot, by my two "personal" bullies. The thing is, I've been training Karate for about year and a half at that point, and it ended up me breaking noses and wrists whilst defending meself. During Secondary School, or 8th through 10th grade, I basically lucked out on everything that is classes, but halfway through 9th my Grandfather died, and that started another period of depression. Still did well in school, though I started to cut myself... In the first years of High School (Norwegian version) I joined one of my best friends' band, I found a great fondness in playing bass-guitar and I also fell in love with what I at that time saw as the love of my love, but after about a year I found out that she wasn't more than a slut and she'd been cheating on me. I confronted her and she said that these "rumors" (My best friends had told me from what they'd seen and so on) and she tried everything to make up for it, gave her one chance but she blew it. I broke up with her about a month after since she couldn't stop her addiction to the intercourse with others. Aaand she hasn't talked to me since, and keeps on ignoring me, something I really don't mind. Nothing really eventful happened during my Sophomore Year, still played in the band with three of my friends, and we played the Summer Concert at their High School (there's two where I live, and you can find the footage on my YouTube channel ^^'). This was also the time I started doing Let's Plays on YouTube as well, seeing this period of time as the brightest one in about ten years, though it's still dark as the seven Hells... Alsoo, I fell in love with my now latest Ex during the winter of the same year, actually been in love with her for most of my life, but I found out that it didn't work out too good. At first it was great, was with the gal of my dreams and everything was all fine and dandy! But during the months before summer, I found out that she was very "clingy" to others.. I'm a very respectful for my partner and I want them to be the same way, but she wasn't like that. I tried to cope with it, and I did fine. But after summer, I became very depressed again, and though most of my friends noticed it, she didn't. And she thought I was ignoring her and being just lazy and tired all the time. And after I returned from the US she randomly broke up with me with the excuse that I didn't care about her anymore because I didn't text her while I was in the US, and she didn't believe me when I said that my Cellphone didn't have service in the US. Basically she shattered my heart in the moment I needed her the most. The following semester was a hell, I skipped school alot, but I kept my grades as high as I managed to. When my class was going to Rome, with both of my Exes in the same class you can see how awkward that could turn out... <.< I broke down in depression at Pizza shop with one of the few friends I have in my class. They didn't really understand that much, and I couldn't explain it to them and I went back to the hotel for a few hours before me and the rest of the class went out to town and I broke my Two Rules of Drinking. Ended up with me getting shitfaced. On the last day before we went home I got Bronchitis and I had it for about three months before I was able get medication from it. I basically killed my Immune System and I've been sick since October. And right before Christmas, my Uncle died, not helping my deep depression at all... And I've still to overcome this bloody depression. So that's basically my lifestory. Edited by GhostBox, Jan 20 2012, 09:40 AM.

My life story, hm? Well, I tend to think that my life is really boring and it.. is. But here I go. (EDIT: As usual, I'm incapable of writing condensed so... I've split it up) Immigration: Spoiler: click to toggle Now things get really boring for the next 8 years lol. Just normal life, normal kid. Any impairment from having English as a second language disappeared after that first year so I was on par with other kids. But I always carried (and still carry) with me a slight fear of racism in others and I tend to get extremely self conscious about my race when I'm the only Asian in the room/group/class..etc. I became an internet geek around 2002 when I was 11 and I started doing text based role playing games on MSN groups. Since then I've basically hopped from community to community all the way to the one I'm in now. I'm afraid this may make me sound a bit devious but in every community I did find a way to somehow become an integral part of the community or an important figure in it. But my online social skills do not translate into real life. In real life I am shy and anti-social. I hate to interact with people and have very low self esteem. First depression: Spoiler: click to toggle For the rest of the school year I received special accommodations from the school to help me deal with depression. I went on medication and attended patient-centered therapy with a counselor. The summer of 2007 will always stay in my mind as my best summer ever. I volunteered in teaching math to grades 1 - 4 kids for the month of July, and that August I was very bright and happy. Grade 11 started extremely well. Due to my problems in grade 10 my parents got me to take Math 11 again in night school (I was in a program where I learn math 1 year above my grade so in grade 10 I had messed up my Math 11 class). Looking back that rather pointless. Perhaps you might think I failed Math 11 the first time... No, I got 75% which is a solid B in our school system. Nigh school raised that mark to 86%. But even with that I was happy and doing well. I went to all my classes, did all my homework, and was very active. Near the end of Grade 11 I was brought back down to my normal level of mood (which is lower than average) and I maintained that through Grade 12. University: Spoiler: click to toggle It was in this condition that I returned here to Queen's University in September 2011. I've had an extremely tough first semester (not in terms of work but in terms of depression) and I'm now in my second semester and frankly a bit scared as this is exactly the time of year that I completely broke down that first year in 2010. Well... that's my life story written with more-than-you-care-to-know details. If anyone actually read all that then... you get an achievement. |

I would've never though that this many people would have such... "problems" on the froums... :/ Anyways, for the "learn about others" part, I assume we can ask questions too... So I have a question for Sid, if you're comfortable answering that... You're bisexual, yes? At what time in your life (and how) did you realise that you indeed were attracted to not only girls? |
