MKK I am compelled to believe in your story since you wrote it after strangeluv and he is probably trolling again. I really sympathize for you and wonder if I had heard some story like that on 4chan once.

Anyways, I'm glad you're recovering quickly with a psychiatrist or whatever. I got over deep depression with pills and pills alone, so I've got a pansy story none of you want to hear.

i really don't see how anyone can think he is trolling after describing the neighborhood he lives in in the other topic.

what other topic

(also i am a bit frdrunk please excuse my typoesd if i make them)

yeah i actually knew a girl who was trying to sleep with me who lied about being raped. i honestly don't know why she did it or what she thought it would accomplish but she admitted to me a few months later that she was bullshitting about it.

My freshman year in High school, I fabricated a story about a girl I met online to stop assholes from calling me gay.  The story ended up snowballing into her cheating on me when we first met, and my ex-girlfriend thinks it's true still.  Even though I told her "Everything I told you was a lie"

The funny thing about this, is I perpetuated this lie for 2 years(the last part was added on the last month or so, and was only added for sympathy purposes), and actually began to believe it myself, and ended up carving her name in my arm.  Good thing it didn't leave a scar, which leads to my other emo moment.

Man, that's fucked up.

my first actual relationship other than a two week awkward fling with my best friend was online and i always felt really awkward about it since i had to lie about it ALL THE TIME. i couldn't keep it a secret either because we chatted on the phone.

honestly though i thought i had it pretty bad (for most of high school and definitely before i was that kid NO ONE HANGS OUT WITH) even though senior year was okay now college is a looot better (i have lots of friends and a girlfriend and the only time i feel really awkward anymore is when i'm around nerdy kids and that's for different reasons).  most of you guys seem to have it a lot harder than me though. i feel bad because i knew kids like you in high school and always thought 'man those kids are really fucked up'

man if i had had, you know, FRIENDS then i feel like high school wouldn't have even been that bad.

i kind of get why you guys feel like spilling out your life stories to people, but it is really kind of weird that you are doing it in the format you are doing it in. HERE'S A TIMELINE OF ALL THE AWFUL STUFF YOU'VE HAD HAPPEN TO YOU etc. plus, I think you might be sharing details with people online who you might regret telling later. i wouldn't feel comfortable with telling ANYONE some of the stuff that's been told here!

also the worst thing that ever happened to me was two days after getting my driver's license, I went around a turn too fast (not speeding... maybe 25 MPH in a 40 zone, just way too fast for a 90 degree turn), hooked inwards and went a couple of inches into the other lane while i was trying to stabilize the car, and smashed into another car full of old ladies who i nearly killed and my head was cut really badly because i hit it off the crossbar and was only an inch from going straight through the windshield and i was traumatized for a month about being in vehicles because i would start shaking really badly if i was a passenger and feel like crying if i had to drive.

it's actually a really funny story if i tell it right, now that it's in the past. i am just describing it harshly now because that is what it was really like.

i have a lot of really funny stories about really horrible things that happened to me in the past. i should write a column like HOW STUPID IS TREG??REALLY STUPID.

anyway yeah teenage girls overdramatize shit to a pretty ridiculous extent, and like steel said, unfortunately it does extend to even really awful things like rape/molestation. 

Is it really beyond you to give mkkmypet, a long time GW member and generally ok person, the benefit of the doubt?

Man the shit coming out of your mouth right now, get some fucking tact. "Oh she's probably over-dramatizing her rape!" I just don't even know what the fuck.

I don't see what's wrong with this topic. There's a 20+ post topic all about STEEL, but no cares because it's an important thing. I think these testimonials are fine. But only on GW could a big deal be made about something like this. C'mon, they are just trying to get these things off their chests.

ok cool this has been stated like 30 times already. back to feeling sympathetic!

also i can't believe you're comparing someone having CANCER to people telling stories about what happened to them when they were in the sixth grade.

also if you want to GET THIS SHIT OFF YOUR CHEST go see a fucking therapist. sharing your deepest secrets with Bunsen.05 on GamingW forums isn't the ideal place to do it!

Thanks headphonics, that was really mature of you and didn't make you look like a bigger asshole in any way whatsoever! And yeah, obviously I know how mkkmypet acts - I've been here long enough. She might say some stupid shit but she is a kid, dude. I'd have figured you as smart enough to take that into account once in a while.

Also, don't patronize me  - it makes you look petty.

I don't get why people are equating this with attention whoring.

Really, this is the type of stuff that you don't talk about with anyone, or maybe with just a few select people. And that can actually be quite a serious problem. Not being able to talk about something makes you eventually want to scream it out. The internet is a place where you have a higher degree of anonymity, allowing you to be more open. So how is it surprising, at all, that people would use the opportunity to come clean and get an outsider's take on it?

To some degree, yeah, it's just asking for attention. But that's really not always a bad thing. People need others to give attention to their problems before they can put it at rest. That's why we came up with things like school councilors: because being forced to keep your problems to yourself can be very detrimental to your mood, psychological well-being, and, eventually, your health.

The whole "NOBODY CARES ABOUT THIS" bit is a little harsh and, well, off-the-mark. If you really don't care, then that's fine, but it shouldn't be too hard to get that people just want to be heard every now.

I have to reply to this and just say no.

no. this is the sort of thing you ABSOLUTELY keep private and with a few people. this is not like saying "yeah I had a drinking problem a few years ago" off hand during another conversation. this is deliberately informing a group of strangers about shit they had nothing to do with and quite frankly could not care about. and don't lie to me, you really don't actually care about this. it was shit that happened years ago. if she was saying NOW or if Strangeluv said his father beat him NOW, you would, but this is all after the fact. thus it is the definition of attention whoring; saying shit just for sympathy from others.

this bizarre concept everyone has that all private matters must become public and therefore magically tolerable is antithetical to the entire school of psychology. of course people should acknowledge their problems and horrible things that happened in their past. everyone here knows my father died when I was very young. but do you know how? do you know what type of cancer (yep, cancer) it was? no. it's because I deal with the details in private and you just know "hey, he had a hard time once". that's the NORMAL thing to do.

topics like this are attention whoring, sorry. psychologically and socially they are also poor choices to make, because believe it or not, some things really should just remain between you and those close to you.

do you not see the difference? let's not say STEEL IS MORE IMPORTANT, that's not what I mean. that topic isn't about me, it's about something ongoing in my life that people are at least remotely interested in.

imagine the topic, though, was about how I HAD cancer. let's also imagine it's not interesting. that's a big part of this. I don't like to suggest people need to spice up their life stories but this topic is full of people urging essentially bullet lists of the bad shit in their life and substanceless "wh...whoa".

basically everyone is viewing this as unburdening but in reality it's nothing! we don't know you well enough for it to be a burden! that's kind of the big deal if your argument is how healthy it is.

telling strangers online really personal shit!=deep psychological cleansing.

also as far as how exaggerated mkkmypet is being, don't care. she shouldn't tell us this stuff anyways.

Man, I am really not in the mood to go through the motions of a GW argument right now so I will cut to the chase: suck my dick.

thats a good reply to a mod.
