YCM's Emotional Corner...


Sotos

Recommended Posts

^+rep for awesome site introduction.
My problems, well, I'm failing anatomy, mostly due to poor test grades, which stem from my procrastination problem.

I also have a tendency to be nice to people, which sounds great, sure, except I've become the butt of my friends' jokes, both online and IRL. I know friends always rip on each other, I do the same to them, but sometimes it feels as though all of my friends rip on me at once whereas my other friends only receive 1 rip at a time, making me feel like I fail all the time. I'm not trying to whine either, but it's really getting to me and I feel like telling my friends this would make me look like a lame wuss. Do I change my behavior so I'm not as nice all the time? Or is changing myself automatically the wrong decision?

Then of course I'm single. I'll admit, I haven't really tried asking a girl out or putting myself out there, but I'm afraid that I won't come across as interesting or appealing and will just come across as the "nice geek". Plus I'm never funny when I want to. I usually make people laugh when I'm not even trying to and it's not automatic, but when I try cracking jokes when I NEED to be funny, I fail. Meaning on a date, I probably wouldn't make her laugh that much, which a guy NEEDS for girls.

Anyway, sorry for sounding off my butthurt to those who didn't care, I just felt like listing out my troubles; even if no one can help, maybe I'll figure something based on what's in front of me.

Here's a random bit of advice.

Note that my posts are never organised.

Firstly, the whole 'be yourself' thing.

Follow it. It's harder to find someone you like, but... Better in the long run. [s]Unless you're some kind of a slut.[/s]

ANYWAYS, I'm only 11 and I've listed 5 girls who certainly have a crush on me. Or it just might be my awesomeness. One or the other.

Also, be funny. If you're not, screw it. Use the 'temptation' technique mentioned earlier.

Anyways, with friends..

Every group has a punching bag. Most groups are shaped like this...

The leader - S/He's the popular one. Knows everyone and pretty much brings it together.
The tagalong - The leader's bestie. A generally awesome guy ;D
The punching bag - Pretty obvious... But, just don't push it too far on them. Also, they may stray. But they will come back.
The smart guy - Normally one of the others.
The rest of the group - Obvious.
That one idiot - The stupid guy who tries to tag along but gets beaten up.
That cool idiot - He's annoying, but... At least he's cool.
Shortie - Optional =/

I've had rather prolonged success with women. My own technique is what I entitle "box-ticking". Essentially, progressively as you and the girl get to know each other on a first time basis, you exemplify how you possess certain characteristics that make you more attractive. In other words, you do little things that make you seem like much more than you are. This is arrogance unless done though implication, then it's confidence. I firstly establish myself as intelligent (Easily done through presenting a concise, logical argument against a certain issue that randomly comes up in conversation, but finishing with "Woah. Got a little carried away there.. This adds to your mystery factor, and a girl loves an opinionated guy). Attractiveness is something that rests solely on you. A tight shirt made out of decent material, some nice skinny's and some vans should score points with just about any girl.

The rest should be instinctive. Just be smooth. Watch what you say, and always think about what you say, but realize that the less you take what you say seriously, the more she'll listen to it.

There's no real art to getting a girl to like you, just do what works for you. I find I have the charisma to subtly make a girl believe I possess a large amount of qualities I don't as I embrace the shallow standard of a relationship. I'm aware this isn't what others are looking for, hence my rather undirectional advice.

Between my friends I am a funny guy, but when it cones to girls...:S I just lose my powers... Girls seem inaccesible to me... At least the ones any guy likes... I am kind of cool and funny when talking to other girlls too, but never when I'm talking to the one I like... It might be because of trying to be funny and not just... being...

Well, it's either awkward or smooth when it comes to relationships.

Trying getting an older couple with you. And by that, I mean 'together longer', not your parents. It helps ease things a bit. If you're lucky, the two of you will break off and.. [Omitted]

I love places where I can spill out my heart and not really have to worryt about the consequences.

Well, just today, one of my best friends practically got his girlfriend, who is another one of my best friends and current crush, killed. The girl pissed him off and she is prone to harming herself, so the breakup kinda made her go insane. As far as I am aware she is either dead or nearly dead. And I lost the only person I trust with secrets. They also made me feel calm and happy and before I knew them I was so very stressed. Now, I don't come close contact with the first friend often, so it's a long distance friendship (I live in England, he's from Wales), and he is prone to telling far fetched stories. I still think that the girl is non existant, but I was still close to another entity, regardless as to whether they are real or not. He is guilty either way, in my eyes. And I don't have anyone else I can trust with my secrets. The male friend is prone to telling other friends my secrets, but they were thankfully only small ones. I don't have anyone else I can talk to often, and my previous crush has probably also committed suicide if I assume the worst. Last of them will judge me too quickly on my personal thoughts and I'll be properly alone. As far as I am aware, I am stuffed for the forseeable future. I'm glad I'm an optimist, though, but I still see the worst.

The whole "be yourself" line only works if you're already drowning in supermodels who want to hop into bed with you. For the most part, if you're a fat, nerdy dude with a bad haircut, take some steps towards making yourself more presentable. Better clothes, better hair, lose some weight. Anything really.

ANYWAYS, I'm only 11[/quote]

... Oh. No wonder your advice is so stupid and laced with child-like optimism.

What makes you think that she would suicide? It sounds a little too much to me...[img]http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif[/img] Why don't you try and contact her via another person who knows her?
[/quote]

She is prone to doing masochistic things that are rather dangerous. Although at this point in time, does not matter. We managed to talk, then we got together. She screwed herself over by cheating on me the next day and ending the relationship of her own accord. However, she's given me the confidence to ask out someone who is worth my time. I lost respect for her because of the way she was acting, which was immature and plain disrespectful.

I felt like YCM should have a topic like that, so this topic is for discussing your emotional stuff and asking for advice, and it is only for serious stuff, spammers and jokers will be negged...
So, I'll go first...
There is a girl in my school, she's not extremely hot or anything, but she's cute and I like her... Still, she says (to her friends) that she likes a guy who's about 15-16 years old (I'm not really sure, I and she are 14)... What should I do?
[/quote]

I feel an urge to tell you to invent a time machine, go back in time two years and BOOM you're the right age :D But of course, this would be considered trolling by the tyrants who run this website, so instead my advice is too be yourself. She'll come round and start liking you.

considering I am the funniest kid in my class and know charlie the unicorn inside and out, I am very well appreciated

I want to go to your school, then! I would be very well-appreciated! We would all hang out and build snowmen, eat candy, and maybe take a trip to Denny's where we'd all eat some pancakes - uh, I mean Grand Slam Sandwiches.

Anyways, to the topic at hand, I find it easy to talk to someone when we have a similar interest. Example: I'm in band, she's in band. GREAT!
