My name is Michael and compared to the other stories so far I've had an amazing life. Albeit with some not so pleasant things too... I was born on February 18 in the U.S.A. and am currently in high school. I have great parents and a supportive older brother. I was grossly obese as a toddler, but somehow I have grown to be extremely thin. However, since birth I've had an essential tremor. My grandmother who passed it down to me has it so bad that she looks like she has Parkinson's Disease. (Ironically, she's the only living grandparent I have left.) It wasn't until 2011 that I finally had to get medication for it because it has steadily gotten worse, especially when I spoke/speak in front of more than 5 people or have to perform up to some set of expectations. Besides being teased about it as a young child, it has made me very self-conscious about how other people view me. Combining that with being a teenager I felt very insecure for the longest time. Currently I'm trying to be less socially awkward (I feel very pressured to keep conversations going whenever there's a lull in the dialogue by saying random facts), keep up the A's in school, and come out of my shell some more. In the summer of 2010 I went with "People to People" to Europe. This was one of the best and most eye-opening experiences in my life. It made me have faith in humanity once again but also made me despise most of America. When I was on my home-stay in Germany, the parents of the family asked me what I thought about Europe. I told them that for how different it was, people seem to forget that all the simple things stay the same, the grass is still green, the sky still blue, you can still get a sunburn, etc... They were pretty surprised by my response, saying how most people say that it's radically different from wherever they're from. The home-stay also made me miss my family like you wouldn't believe. I remember watching some of Toegoff's (new at the time) Ocarina of Time videos and they would make me feel like I was home again. I might add some more at a later time but I think that about sums up what's going on in my life/what has shaped it so far. (I purposely didn't add what I'm like because I'm not entirely sure myself.)

Seems like alot of pepole took a liking to this thread, so i want to ask a question, It's quite the tricky one. I never mentioned this, well.. i got both pysikly and mentaly abused by my father most of my life until 2 years ago. I'm wondering if any you guys know how to let pepole in, i know this may sound strange but i never trust pepole and aways think pepole are out to hurt me, it's made it werry hard for me to make friends and be social, as i did when i first started to write at this forum. Got in to a fight with monstar like the first 2 week or something. Can someone help or can someone even anwser??

Friends were never my forte... I'd like to help but I don't really know how... EDIT: well I should at least try to say something... Just talk to people.Find other outcasts (outcasts sounds kind of mean to say but I can't think of a better word for people like myself) and try to start a conversation... I don't know how one would go about doing that... but... yeah... Edited by Velitie, Jan 19 2012, 07:44 PM.

My life is... well kinda uninteresting. Right now I'm kind of in limbo I guess, I'm taking this semester off becuase... well I can't afford to go to my University anymore, add to that my grades slipped last semester and well... my scholarship was revoked. My plan is to get a part-time job, start reading up a little bit on computer programming basics like Javascript, and hopefully take a course or two over the summer at a community college. I want to be a code monkey basically. Recently I've been... I don't wanna say depressed but I just feel like a wanderer, Like a lingerer, like I don't really belong anywhere. I want to do something, and have a sense of accomplishment, my life recently has been kind of sucky. |

Find people you have things in common with. If you do any extracurricular activities (Sports, chess, science, etc...) then try and talk with people there. If you don't do any extracurricular activities, then join some! A lot of times people who think they have tons of friends actually aren't really friends with anyone. Just get to know a few good people and you will slowly build up some trust as they begin to trust you. The best advice I ever got was to not try and force conversations. Many times there are (what I feel to be awkward) pauses in conversations, but people are usually just thinking about what has been said. To sum it up: relax, nobodies perfect! |

See a shrink. Should be cheap/free counseling depending on where you are. I know the States has stuff like that, so I imagine other countries will too. |

Unfie, my bf has bad acne. He has scars all over his face and back.....just thought I'd share As for how to get friends....just be nice to people. And joke around a lot, people seem to like that.Having a difference in opinion is good, but don't be afraid to apologize if you've done something bad, and don't be a douche about others apologizing toy ou if they did something wrong. I think the best tip I could give tho is to be friendly to people. I mean look at Wry, she's almost a saint and everyone loves her |

Eh, that's kinda hard to answer. I'm not really sure when I realized it for the first time, but I think I've always had some way of attraction to both sexes. But I became fully aware of it during my Junior year of High School, so around two years ago. |

I've been saying random facts about my life here and there in the spam thread. But I have never truely shared anything. And I don't want to start now. I talked about the girl I met, about the hospital and sometimes, when I was feeling blues, I just started saying random shit, usually untrue, so I could feel better. None of that is a big deal. All of this is kinda stressful I guess. I'm awful at love stories. Last time I dated someone, I didn't love her, sometimes I couldn't bear being with her, and it ended up in her hating me and wanting me dead. The hospital is stressful, because, well, usually you're sick when you go there. Other than that, it wasn't unpleasant. And we all have those moments when we're tired and we listened to the wrong song that makes us feel depressed or whatever. Anyway. I've been apathetic since as long as I can remember, but "officially" since last year. Hyperthyroidism can be the cause of it. That's all I'ma say. Edit : and please, don't mix that with psychopathy. I ain't a psychopath >.> Edited by Tiennou, Jan 20 2012, 10:02 AM.

I also must mention that I have a dog. His name is Kiba and he's the cutest silliest dog in the world! I recently got a new apartment, and it's really nice. After the first few days of "wtf am I supposed to do now?" I'm quite enjoying it. Can't wait for my man to move in so it's gonna be more lively And get more furniture. Luckily being unemployed over here is not the end of the world and I'm living quite comfortably with the money I get. I can now buy lots of games! Yay!
