-=The following is a general b!tch thread=-
all contained are issues that I should (and am) taking care of in real life (TFS). However, just as you talk to a friend when you need to vent, so I am doing now.


My girlfriend... is driving me... out... of my F*CKING mind. We've been together for over two years, and generally we've been a very stable couple.

However as of late things have changed significantly. We used to talk, laugh, giggle, flirt all that other good crap that couples do. I'm not talking about honeymoon stage [:-censored], I mean just generally being happy in one another's presence.

I'd call her on the phone and we'd (gasp) talk. Now it seems like I say whatever the current thing on my day was, and then sit in ackward silence for a few minutes while I look for an excuse to get off the phone.

I was over at her house tonight watching the new Lewis Black DVD. We said like two [:-censored]ing sentences to eachother.

I thought this crap wasn't supposed to start until after we were like... old and cenile.

And it's not that I'm not trying! I try to engage her in conversation and I get a bunch of one word answers. I ask her about her opinion on what she'd like to do, and it's always the same... "whatever you want" or "I don't care." When I'm around her it's like she'd just rather go to sleep or something...

What's worse is I'm sure she knows this is tearing me apart. I'm stressed out because of school. She used to be one of those few constants in my life, where I know I could talk to her and she'd be there. Now if I talk to her about my school problems I'm just met by the loudest [:-censored]ing silence on the other end.

*sigh*

Smooth move SuperKill. My guess is that the name of your girlfriend is your right hand.

Social, couple of words from a specialist:
You never know whats going through their minds. I mean they have their own logic that is close to impossible to understand. Here is what may have happened:

1. You messed up somewhere and you dont realize it. That would be the most probable thing. Sit down and talk with her. Or take her out somewhere where you can talk. That should most likely solve your problem. I am sure that after being together for 2 years the least thing she wants to do is to keep you frustrated.

2. She started taking you for granted. After 2 years its easy. She thinks that you are going to be there by default, so she can treat you like sh1t. Stop calling her for a few days, sound disinterested. Show her that you are not a piece of furniture that gives her a ride to school.

3. Wondering about other options. She has been with you for 2 years. And she might be thinking she is missing out on something while spending all her time with you. Alot of ladies go through that period after 2-3 years into the relationship. This is a very tricky one, because its hard to tell what you should do. You can a. treat her with a cool, hoping she will get the message. And you run the risk of losing her. You can b. take her out on expensive date / trip and show how exciting you really are. But that may backfire as well. Or you can c. marry her, which is a radical approach. I mean if you really wanna keep her....

4. She wants to get more serious??? I dont know anything about your relationship, but since you are 19 years old, she might be thinking in terms of marriage/engagement.

5. Worst case scenario, she found somebody else. Try not to think about this one, because if its true, you will find out soon enough.

Anyway, i gotta get something to eat before i collapse on the floor. I hope i helped.

I've never had a girlfriend, but this statement is close to my heart... except it's me giving the one word answers to my family.

quote:I ask her about her opinion on what she'd like to do, and it's always the same... "whatever you want" or "I don't care."

In fact she reminds me a lot of me ;)
Obviously, I am not her, but I can tell you about me and you can use/ignore my words as you wish.

First off, I don't get out much, so I have a lot of time to think. In my ponderings, the one issue almost always nagging me is the meaning of life. Is there an actual purpose? So far, I am lead to believe that there is no such purpose to life. This really got me down and thinking about suicide for a while, until I realised that there would be no more purpose in my death.
So, now I mostly go with the flow of life, hence the "Whatever"/"I don't mind" comments... I'll deal with whatever situation I end up in.

If there is one thing I yearn for though, it would be what I call 'duality'. To know someone so well, and work with them so efficiently that I barely need to talk to them to understand what they are trying to tell me. And this, I suspect, is a significant sub-concious factor in my short answers... to encourage people around me to watch me/observe me/learn me, so that they can understand me and know my answer before they ask the question.

ill be serious for this serious topic :D
well, i pretty much agree with BMF on what he wrote u back there.
but there is another thing u should keep on mind: u have been with this girl since 2 years ago, u changed, she changed, thats the problem i guess... but u must know it better than i.
i myself cant think of someone my age (17) going out stady with a girl for 2 years, that would drive me crazy, since everytime u change, she and u need to get used to the changes, my longest relationship was 5-6 months, and i came to think that i would kill her if i dont get away.
i think u should take a vacation with her to some quiet place, where u 2 can chill out and lay on the beach all day, away from all the stress of school/army/work/home/city. i hope i helped u :D

SP, judging from what u posted in your orignal statement, your girl cud be a little bored/depressed/ lots of things that cause people to act in really weird and abnormal ways. Then again, maybe she just doesnt like u anymore... are u serious about her? or have u considered new options aswell?

do YOU want to continue with her???

BMF
October 27, 2003, 10:01 pm
No you did not SP, you did not change immensely since you first year in high school. It is an illusion. Yes, you have a car now and a steady girlfriend. You go to school, you have a job, you have you formed opinions about everything. You may even have a moustache and hair on your chest; you have a different set of friends. You are a grown man.
Have you developed at all since your freshman year? Yes. Has your personality changed at all? No. You are the same old freshman Social Poison that you were 5 years ago. You just don?t realize it.

Modern psychology books say the personality stops developing at the age of 7-8. My personal opinion is that it happens even earlier. But my opinion does not matter, considering the extensive research that was don?t long before I was born. No, Social, people don?t change at all. People react to the environment, people adapt to changes, but they stay the same.
Have you opinions changed in the last five years? I certainly hope so. Do you possess greater knowledge about everyday issues? About drugs, sex, violence, wars, grocery shopping and telemarketing? Of course you do. Would you make a similar decision in an identical situation now and five years ago? You most certainly would. You are the same person Social, whether you admit it or not.

What I am saying is quite sad, but its the truth. You are born with a certain genetical background. You parents/guardians tweak it a bit in your early years (1-7). And then the development of your personality basically stops.
I look back at myself at the tender age of 7 when I first went to elementary school. It is scary Poison, but I did not change at all. I mean I have learned a lot, and I make better decisions, and I know a lot more, but I am the same person. Just like you are. Just like your girlfriend is. And she will probably never change.

When I was a kid I was always wondering where do all the stupid kids go? What happens to all the obnoxious, loud morons that I was surrounded with? As a kid I did not realize that adults can too be obnoxious, and loud, and stupid. And dim kids grow up to be dim adults.

I am not saying that the personality does not change at all. I am far too uneducated and inexperienced to make such a statement. It is quite possible that say a wife beater can go to a psychologist/support group/prison and never beats his wife again. But it does not mean he does not want to beat his wife. He just fights his personality out of fear to lose his wife/freedom. I am sure that chronic alcoholics stop drinking permanently. But the problem is that they want to drink, but they have to fight themselves constantly, because they how easy it is for them to go into an uncontrolled binge.

Anyway, I made my point. You can agree with it, or you can continue to live in denial. In any case one day you will understand what I am saying. I am sure you will, because I know you Poison, you are a smart kid.

PS I never say idiotic things unless I am flaming somebody. So if you think my post does not make sense, read it again. If you still feel it?s idiotic, you are wrong.

Social Poison
October 27, 2003, 10:06 pm
Well defended.

I suppse we'd have to put together a working definition about "who you are" before one can say whether or not you've changed.

I think that how you react to situations and what you've learned are part of what compromise who you are. But if you take it down to a stripped soul-like level, then I'd be inclined to agree with you.

NightCabbage
October 28, 2003, 2:01 am
Yeah, that's it. When you're a kid, you don't really know who or what you are, and then when you figure it out, you do things differently. So in a way, you change. The choices you make are different when you grow up. Certain aspects change. Basically you only exist as a person once you've gone through this stage, as before it, you just do crap with or without reason, like a drone, just making use of what you've learned through conditioning and reinforcement. This stage comes at different times for different people. And you can't just say 'Yup! That's the time when I became a person!', it happens over a period, then one day you realise you are who you are, and that you are indeed someone and something.

Another little update on the girlie girl thing. I took BMF's advice and stopped playing video games for an evening and went to see her (haha). We went and saw a movie (Seabuiskit was playing at a local theatre) and that was cool. But before and after the movie she was cuddely and all that other good stuff... so I'm thinkin' whatever the problem she was having has passed (or subsided at the least). Regardless, I feel a lot better about the whole thing.

Thanks for listening to me vent and what have you.

Just yesterday I thought about why I am/became the person I am now. I'm still the introverted guy that stands in the background and secretly thinks how stupid those fools are.
I don't know the fitting word for it, but it seems like I can't stand other humans.
I'm still someone who totally avoids the people he doesn't like. It's just as simple as that. "Why don't you go out and meet some friends?" - "hrmrmmm no. importannth on ttv... hmrmrm" .oO(I don't like those guys from my school)

Sorry for telling you that but the point is, I won't change. I remember that I behave like that since I'm.. what the hell, since kindergarten.

I'm glad for you SP.

and i swear the crazy bitch kept going psycho at me for no reason saying that im dumped etc..
then coming back in the next 5 minz trying to be all nice....

well it happened a few times untill i thought fux that..
and did my own tantrum dump thingo..
exept she expects me to come crawling back now....

and at this point im thinking...i really cant be [:-censored]ed anymore dating....


jesus christ it is really annoying and heart wrenching and just crap...

I think that any dating under the age of 21 is just pathetic and worthless...oh and dont go on about how you and your gf / bf are really happy because you ARENT!!!!!

so apparently you like showing people that your a [:-censored]in retard, im not afraid of people, in fact im into acting and theatre sports, although i wouldnt expect you to know what those are

o yeh, i'm known as the person who never stops talking (almost) and i am friends with everyone in my grade

of course, the way your going right now, you'll probably make everythign i said into somehow proving that im a "loser" like you

so heres a thought for you, shut the [:-censored] up about what you dont know, apparently you seem to know everything about me, even though you dont know who i am, where i live, what i look like, what school i go to, who my friends are, and a million other things
