Aren't? Are not? Ever spell out a word that looks weird? I used to say "I amn't." according to my mum. It's a totally acceptable conjunction, according to her. "I am not." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW-bFGzNMXw)
Ever feel like stuff in bed at night because of something you said in kindergarten? Ever over-analyze something you said in that conversation with your crush yesterday? Ever feel like tomorrow's going to suck because you're going to do or say something that's going to totally embarrass you for decades to come?
Congratulations, you could become the lamest Batman villain ever! (You might have to work a little to get into the Nolan movies, though.)
But here's my thing: panic attacks. Claustrophobia, feeling like you can't breathe, sweat. Oh the sweat. Like you go up to the cute girl and you feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger, (action movie stars always get the girl) and then you turn out like Woody Allen and mumble something witty (wittiness only gets the girls in art house flicks) and she laughs and you blush and you buy a six pack.
Or you can be the guy. Sorry, let me rephrase that - or you can be the douchebag. Several things here; for example, number one could be that douchebags are just people, strangers that you don't know. It could also be that people love confidence. It could be that you're just projecting a label onto a stranger. It could be that a guy (or girl! (or transsexual!)) is just a dick. (Or a vagina! (Batman's greatest weakness!))
I don't know. With Valentine's day coming up, and with me afraid of leaving my room, I'm projecting both regret and loneliness in one handsome package! (Ladies...) I'm an attention seeking introvert who validates himself with reputation. Or likes. I don't know. I feel that I could be really witty and really cool if my comebacks weren't Youtube links.
tbh every time you post another video to something tangentally related to the topic of the thread you take 2 steps back
I mean your text posts up there? Totally aces. The Doctor Who video? Not so much.
So... Fuck.
Shit.
Heck.
Ever really, really want to change yourself into... something, someone you know you're not?
Come on! I've got screens. I've got my MP3 player, my teevee, my laptop - I've got a hundred screens distracting me. Or giving me a monologue on how to be myself. Or telling me that I should by pimple cream. Or portraying a kid, just like me, who had superpowers but never knew it and used them to save the day. Or Pokemon! Or Arkham Asylum! Or... Midgard!
Life is perfect when it's scripted. Even when the heroes fall apart, Scarlett Johansson is there to help pick them up. The good guy is always handsome, he always saves the day in a half hour and he always gets the girl.
If I want the girl, I have to pay an extra $9.99.
I am unsatisfied. I don't feel like I can change my body or my income or my sex life around in a half hour span. I can't protest this, sign a petition or like something on Facebook. I wasn't taught how to deal with emotional crises in high school.
I guess I'll drink.
So let's do this right; there's three things that shouldn't relate to each other at all.
1) Your awkward situation.
2) The most infuriating advice someone has tried to give you to deal with whatever the fuck it is you're dealing with.
3) The advice you would give to yourself had you had a time machine.
And whatever the balls. (The balls? Who came up with that? Some dude who got hit in the balls, or a woman who... I don't know?) Doesn't matter - whatever the balls. Lurkers, I want you to answer one of the above - if we still have lurkers. Everyone can do number four.
4) Say something nice about the person above you.

I've ordered the entirety of Batman: The Animated Series off of Amazon, and everything is just peachy.
Or orangey.
Or raspberry. Why did we decide on peaches anyway?

Honestly it's because we're told "I don't know and I don't care" is the coolest, and "I don't know and it's driving me crazy" is controllable with medication and give me a legal high and there's a whole spectrum of stiff betwixt those two.
